I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once they had been taken care of, we quickly searched their bodies for their tokens.

We had no idea how the point transfer worked, so we wanted to see if there was some kind of way to do it with the tokens since they were the one that recorded points.

As for how to divide the tokens, there were six members of Cheng Hui's group in the first place, so we decided to give two to each of our groups.

I received the one from Cheng Hui and the person who had released the purple mist.

Then when it came to how we would divide it among our group, they all decided to give the points to me.

So I held those two tokens in my hand, trying to figure out what to do with them.

It was only after a while that I thought about taking my own token out to place beside these two tokens that we took.

When my token was placed beside these tokens, there was a glow that suddenly appeared.

There were numbers that appeared above these two tokens.

If I had to guess, this was most likely the score that we received in this round.

But those numbers quickly changed.

The numbers that were above the two tokens started to decrease while the number that was above my token started to increase.

When it was over, the number from the two tokens had been added to my total.

It seemed that this was the way to steal points from other contestants.

Seeing what happened, Julius and Alex quickly did the same with the tokens that they received. Though, they didn't receive as much as I did from the two tokens that I had.

It seemed that Cheng Hui's group had funneled most of their points to Cheng Hui and the person who used the purple mist. So most of the points had gone to me while they barely received anything.

Still, they didn't complain since that was just how it was.

It was a matter of luck to see who would receive the most points and they weren't lucky enough to receive the points.

They could only blame their bad luck for not picking the right ones.

After we finished transferring the points, we went back to where Qin Yue Ru was with the unaffiliated Awakeners.

When they saw us come over, they immediately raised their guards.

However, Qin Yue Ru quickly calmed them down and they relaxed enough to let us approach.

After coming over, I asked the leader of the group, "When did they attack you?"

The leader thought about it and said, "It was a few minutes after we came in, they already started chasing after us."

I gave a nod to show that I understood, but I didn't say anything else.

After all, I knew the reason why they had been chasing them in the first place.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the leader of the group couldn't help looking worried.

It was as if he thought that I was debating whether I should take care of them or not.

In reality, I was just thinking about how to send them off.

I didn't want to ruin the relationship between us since I figured that I could use them in the future, so I couldn't just tell them that they were free to leave. It would create distrust in them that would make it harder for us to work together in the future.

But there really wasn't anything that I could take from them…

In the end, it was the leader of the group who gave me a solution as he said, "Um, thank you for saving us. If you don't mind, would you like some information that we received as repayment for saving us?"

My eyes lit up when I heard this and I quickly gave a nod in response.

The leader of the group let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest before saying, "I heard from a friend that there were several groups that were gathering not far from here. It seems that they've found a powerful boss, so they are gathering different groups to fight it together."

It wasn't just me whose eyes lit up when I heard this. Julius and Alex who had been listening from behind me also had their eyes light up.

This information was actually much more valuable than I had thought it would be.

This was a location of a boss that would certainly be worth a lot of points, but at the same time, it was also the location of several groups of contestants.

Now that we knew how to steal points from people, all of these contestants could be considered walking piles of points for us to take.

Well, that also depended on the people.

If we liked them and thought we could cooperate with them, we wouldn't take their points.

But if they were like Cheng Hui's group, then there was nothing for us to agonize over.

After he told us where to go, I said, "Thank you, this is very valuable information."

The leader of the group let out a sigh of relief before waving his hands and saying, "No, no, it should be us thanking you for saving us. If it wasn't for you, we might have died back there."

Then after a pause, he asked, "Um, about the people who attacked us, did you…"

His voice trailed off, but the meaning that he was implying was clear.

I just shook my head and said, "It's better if you don't know."

The unaffiliated Awakeners all revealed surprised looks, but they nodded in agreement in the end.

Qin Yue Ru gave them a bit more treatment, but once she was done, we parted ways from them.

Since we had a destination in mind, we didn't hesitate as we headed deeper into the woods.

Though we couldn't help being curious just how powerful this boss was and how many points it would give us.
