I Became the Demon King of Lust

Since we were at the cafe, we naturally ordered some food as well.

It didn't take long for that food to arrive and once it did, everyone started to eat happily.

Since this was a cafe that was established by one of the large guilds, Eden of the west, it was naturally a very well established cafe.

The dishes were all delicious and even the coffee was the best of the best.

The only problem might be the price, but that was all waived because they had a special token for competitors.

This would allow them to have everything paid for them since they were competitors.

This was one of the benefits of being a competitor.

As we sat there eating, the others looked at us with strange looks.

I immediately saw through those strange looks.

It was as if they were saying, "How could they eat when we're in a situation like this?"

I couldn't help giving a secret bitter laugh and thinking that they really didn't know anything about our group.

But that wasn't the most important thing.

The most important thing was that we were drawing the attention of the other competitors.

It was clear that they were paying more attention to us compared to before and that wasn't a good thing.

If everyone paid attention to us, when the time came, it would mean that they would gang up against this.

This was not something that we wanted to see happen.

So I decided that…I would tell Bing Xin and Long Shui Ling about this.

There were just too many of them for me to take care of all of them alone, so I wanted the help of these two sensible girls to help me.

I took them aside to talk privately, but I found that they already knew about this.

They were just too good at acting that even I couldn't see through their act.

They were just pretending to enjoy themselves while also looking out for the others around us.

Of course, they would have seemed much more convincing if it wasn't for the cream that was on the corner of their lips.

I did my best to not point it out, but it was definitely impossible for me to miss the cream that was on their lips.

Still, since they already knew about this, then there was nothing for me to say.

When we came back, we found that there was someone new sitting with us.

This was someone that we didn't notice before, which meant that they must have come into the cafe while we were away for that talk.

But seeing how they easily blended into our group, it really was surprising.

They didn't blend in by hiding in our group, rather they were talking with our group and they all seemed quite happy to be talking to this person.

This person seemed to be a handsome young man with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.

With his appearance, it would have been impossible to miss him earlier.

However, to avoid attracting even more attention, I came over and asked, "Hey, who is this new friend who's joined us?"

They were happy to introduce him, but that blonde young man took the chance to introduce himself.

"I'm friends with the owner of the store and seeing you all eat so happily, I knew that I had to come and talk to you. My name is Alexander, but you can call me Alex."

As he said this, he leaned forward and lifted his collar to show me something.

It was Eden's mark.

It seemed that this blonde haired young man named Alex was the competitor from Eden.

I gave a nod before saying, "Then let's talk about these desserts that you sell. They really are something else."

Alex gave a happy nod before saying, "Well, they were made with love, so of course they are delicious."

Instead of sitting down at the same time, I sat down at another table that was apart from the others.

Alex raised a brow to look at me, but then he stood up and went over to this table.

Seeing this, the others wanted to come over to our table as well, but Bing Xin and Long Shui Ling stopped them.

So it was just the two of us sitting there.

I didn't say a word as I looked at Alex with knitted brows.

He just sat there with the same smile on his face.

It became a race of chicken, to see who would give up first.

In the end, Alex was the one that caved first as he said, "I'll just say that I had no ill intentions."

I gave a sneer before saying, "You had no ill intentions? When you're the one that approached us like this? Only a fool would believe that."

Alex just gave a shrug before saying, "You can say what you want, but I'll just tell you my truth and you can choose to believe it or not."

I couldn't help revealing a surprised look when I heard this.

Alex continued by saying, "Besides, you've praised the goods of this store. I know that you're not bad people since you enjoy the goods we sell here."

Innocent?

No, naive was the better world for this person.

He believed someone just based on the fact that they enjoyed the desserts sold here.

That kind of person wouldn't last long, but I knew that he wasn't that kind of person.

If he was, he wouldn't have approached us like this.

I just said in a calm voice, "Just say what you want to say. We have other business to attend to."

Alex gave a chuckle before saying, "Would you believe what I have to say at this point?"

He looked at me as if he was really asking this question.

I slowly gave a shake of the head to see what he had in store.

Seeing this, Alex didn't look offended as he said, "Well, then I just have to give you something that would make you trust me, right?"
