I Became the Demon King of Lust

The meeting didn't last that long in the end.

It was just a simple discussion on what they would do about this traitor.

I didn't really understand the plan that they had come up with, but it seemed like they were planning an ambush for him.

Like they had said before, I would be the bait to make this ambush happen.

Once they had finished discussing this, Bing Lan said, "Alright, let's end things here for now. We'll discuss the exact details when the time draws closer and we can make a better plan."

All of the people sitting at the table nodded in agreement to this before picking up their stuff and standing up.

It seemed that they were all heading off to do their own thing and that the meeting was over.

Since the meeting was over, then there was no reason for me to stay here any longer.

Or at least that was what I thought.

That was until Bing Lan suddenly called out to me.

"Wait, don't leave yet. Let me introduce you to someone."

I slowly turned around when I heard her call out. I wasn't sure if she was talking to me at first, but then seeing her look expectantly at me as if she was waiting for me to come over, I knew that she was talking to me.

Since that was the case, I had no choice but to go over.

When I walked over to where Bing Lan was, I found that the cloaked figure from before was there with her.

When I came over, I could feel the gaze of this cloaked figure falling onto me.

Even though I wasn't able to see their eyes, I could still feel that gaze.

Bing Lan waited until I was in front of her before saying, "This is the one that I wanted to introduce you to." She gestured at the cloaked figure beside her and said, "This is the head of our internal affairs department, Nadia."

I couldn't help slightly narrowing my eyes when I heard this.

Internal affairs department…that basically meant that they were the internal enforcers.

If there were any spies or anyone that wanted to harm the organization, they would be the ones that would deal with them.

And for someone like me who had plans for Elementia…they were my natural enemy.

In short, this was a person that I would surely have to face in the future if I wanted to use my skill to control Bing Lan, Bing Xue, and the rest.

So I couldn't help feeling a bit hostile when I heard this, but I made sure to hide it.

To my surprise, Nadia suddenly reached her hand out towards me and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to working with you in the future."

I looked at her hand for a bit and I couldn't help being surprised by how slender it was.

Still, I reached out my hand slowly and shook her hand before saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you too." But then after a pause, I added, "Working together? Are we going to be working together?"

Nadia gave a nod and said, "Aren't you helping us with the investigation? So we'll be working together in the future."

Bing Lan gave a nod before saying, "You already agreed to it, remember?"

I was a bit confused at first, but then I realized that they meant the fact that I had agreed to be bait.

I then said, "I'm just being bait, there isn't much that I'll be doing, so it can't really be considered working together, right?"

Nadia shook her head when she heard this before saying, "No, you'll be doing much more than you think. You'll need to work with us to lure our target in, so we'll need you to cooperate with us."

I slowly gave a nod in response to this before saying, "Alright, that's not a problem."

Working with the internal affairs department like this wasn't considered a bad thing.

After all, this would give me a chance to learn more about them and their structure.

The more information that I had about them, the better it would be for me in the future.

Nadia shared a few more things with me that weren't considered that important.

But before we separated, I couldn't help asking, "Is there a reason why you're wearing this cloak?"

When Bing Lan heard this, she couldn't help reveal a faint smile even though she didn't say anything.

Nadia looked down at the cloak she was wearing before saying, "It's mysterious isn't it?"

I gave a slow nod, but I didn't say anything as I waited for her to explain.

She saw that I wasn't saying anything, so she said, "Well, I'm supposed to be the one that watches over everyone in the guild, so isn't being mysterious good enough? It's cool and scary at the same time, right?"

I didn't know how to respond to this.

Seeing that I still didn't say anything, she said, "Isn't it enough that it's cool?"

I opened and closed my mouth a few times as I didn't know what to say in response to this.

To the side, Bing Lan looked like she was holding back her laughter as if she already knew this and was having fun at my expense.

After a long silence, I said with another slow nod, "Un, it is cool."

Nadia didn't stop this time as she started telling me all about how cool and mysterious cloaks were. While she was on this topic, she also started talking about how important it was to act cool at all times.

It reminded me of a certain phase that I had gone through when I was in middle school…

The more that I heard from her, the more cringe that I felt deep down inside of me.

It seemed that the leader of this internal affairs department was quite the 'interesting' person…

But that didn't mean that I would underestimate her or the department in the future.
