I Became the Demon King of Lust

There was silence that followed after Johnny shouted this, but it didn't take long before the crowd started backing him up.

There were all kinds of cries that supported what Johnny said, though most of them sounded like nonsense.

There were a few people that remained silent since they knew that it wasn't as simple as this. However, the majority of the crowd went along with Johnny, so it wouldn't be good for them if they said anything.

A funny thing was that the ones that chose to remain silent were…the higher ranked Awakeners.

It was only those lower ranked Awakeners who didn't know what happened that supported Johnny.

Being stirred on by the crowd, Johnny didn't stop as he started making all kinds of accusations. He even went as far as calling me a demon who worked for the demon king that had infiltrated human society.

At this point, he had completely lost control and was just making a fool of himself.

If only he knew that he had actually hit the nail on the head…but I wasn't just a demon, rather I was the demon king himself.

Still, it wasn't as if I would ever admit that since there was nothing to gain from admitting this.

In the end, it was Tie Gang who stopped him by saying, "Silence."

His voice wasn't loud or soft, but it cut through all the voices that were speaking.

As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.

It wasn't because of the prestige that he had, but rather because of the pressure that he was putting out.

This was the moment that everyone realized just what it meant to be an A Ranker.

He hadn't had to use this pressure before because they were supposed to be working together. Using fear to make everyone submit was not a good tactic for a leader since it made it harder for them to trust each other.

He tried to get everyone to willingly work with each other, but now he realized that it was impossible.

Since it was impossible for them to get along, then he had no qualms about using fear since it was the only option left to him.

After they all fell silent with shocked looks on their faces, Tie Gang looked at Johnny and said, "Have you embarrassed yourself enough? Didn't you say that you would willingly accept your loss?"

Johnny had an ugly expression on his face before saying, "I did say that, but it's clear that he must have cheated! How could someone like him with F Rank powers affect someone like me who is a B Ranker? Unless he used some kind of cheat, it is impossible for it to turn out like this."

His tone was firm like he had absolute faith in his words.

When he put it like this, it did make his complaints logical.

But those that knew naturally knew the reason why his powers could affect him.

Tie Gang just calmly said, "He didn't use anything special, he just simply used his powers."

Johnny's face twisted before he said, "I don't believe it!"

Tie Gang gave a sigh before saying, "Do you know what his powers are?"

Johnny was completely taken aback when he was asked this question. After looking at Tie Gang with a confused look for a bit, he slowly said, "Isn't it the F Rank Suggestion?"

Tie Gang gave a nod before saying, "And why do you think that it wouldn't affect you?"

Johnny was even more confused, but he still stuck to his guns, "Because I'm a B Ranker! My mental defenses are far beyond what a F Ranker like him can penetrate, so I don't believe that he would be able to use his powers on me!"

Tie Gang shook his head when he heard this. When he looked back at Johnny, his eyes had a look in them like he was looking at a fool as he slowly said, "Who said anything about rank? If you read the package that you were given, you would have known that his power doesn't have anything to do with rank or mental defenses, it all depends on will. Enjoy stories on m_v lem|p-yr

If his will is stronger than yours, then he can use his powers on you."

Johnny had a look of absolute disbelief as he said, "How can a F Ranker have a stronger will than me, a B Ranker? I refuse to believe that!"

Tie Gang once again shook his head before saying, "Is that so? From what I can see, it doesn't seem like your will is that great if you're complaining like a little child like this. It seems like I have to report this when we get back."

Johnny's face once again twisted when he heard this.

He could understand what Tie Gang meant by these words and he knew that now even his future was in danger…

So he had to go all out.

"I won't back down even if you try to use your position and connections to suppress me! I will speak up against injustice!"

The way that he was acting now, he was painting the picture as if Tie Gang was trying to unjustly suppress him and it worked since he had the crowd on his side.

Though they didn't say anything, it was clear by the looks on the faces of the crowd that they supported Johnny in this matter.

Tie Gang knew that if he didn't do anything, it would affect the cooperation of their team.

So he used the most simple method to deal with this.

"You don't think that his ability should be able to affect you? Then there's a very simple way to solve this."

Everyone was surprised to hear this, but they could already guess what Tie Gang meant by this.

Yes, there was a very simple way of proving this, but they never thought that he would actually go through with it.

They all thought that he was using his power to suppress Johnny, so he wouldn't actually use this method.

But now that didn't seem to be the case.
