I Became the Demon King of Lust

Seeing the two of us acting like this, Julius just raised his hands and said, "I come in peace. I'm just here for a small talk."

Both of us looked at him with a wary look before exchanging looks with each other.

We could both see the doubt and hesitation that was in each other's eyes.

After all, even if he had appeared out of nowhere, there was a reason why we had been talking about him before.

So if he really had come here in peace, then this would be a good chance to talk to this candidate that was considered one of the best in the tournament and broker an alliance with him.

As well, if they could get some information about him regarding his powers…

Then that would be even more helpful.

So the two of us slowly sat back down in our chairs, but we made sure to move away from the chair that Julius was sitting in.

He didn't seem to mind as he waited for us to settle.

Only when we had finished shifting our chairs did he finally say, "Then shall we order some stuff first before we talk? I'm actually a little hungry since I rushed over here."

Both of us once again revealed strange looks when we heard this.

We looked at him as if we were trying to figure out if he was being serious or not.

But he just sat there with a smile on his face while he was holding up the menu in front of him. The way that he was looking through the menu seemed like he had already picked out a few things that he wanted and was just waiting to order.

So Alex stood up with a sigh and said, "What will you have?"

As he said this, he took out a notepad and a pen. Holding them like this, he stood on the side like a waiter as he waited for Julius to make his order.

Julius didn't hesitate at all to pick out several things and then sat back without a care in the world. Even though he said that he was here to talk, he wasn't talking at all as he just sat there like he was waiting for his food.

Alex gave a sigh before bringing his orders to the kitchen.

Even when it was just the two of us, he sat there with a smile on his face without saying a single word to me.

It was as if he really came here to eat instead of talking.

When Alex came back, he had a tray in his hand that had a teapot and several cups in them.

He poured the tea for all three of us and then said, "It'll take a while for the food to come."

Julius gave a nod without saying a single word as he just sat there.

It seemed like he really wasn't planning on saying anything until he got what he wanted.

This put the two of us in an awkward situation as we couldn't really discuss anything while he was here. We still didn't have a read on Julius, we didn't know what he was here for and what he was capable of.

Until we knew where his allegiance was, it wasn't as if we could talk about things in front of him.

So there was a very awkward silence that filled the air.

Ten minutes later, the waitress came out with the food, but Alex just had her go back as he took it from her. He took over her job and placed the food out on the table in front of us.

Before he even finished, Julius had already picked up a plate and brought it in front of himself before stuffing his face with the cake that was on the plate.

The way that he ate, it really seemed like he was here to enjoy sweets instead of doing whatever he was here to do.

But after finishing, he looked at the two of us who were looking at him with strange looks and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you eating anything? It makes me feel awkward if I'm the only one eating, don't you know?"

But neither of us played along with him and neither of us ate a thing.

We just stared at him as we waited to see what else he would have to say.

Seeing us like this, he shook his head and said with a sigh, "And here I thought that we could bond over some nice desserts, but that doesn't seem like it's possible."

I just calmly said, "I don't like sweet things and there are only sweet things here."

Alex gave a nod of agreement to this.

"Oh." Julius said with a surprised look before picking up the menu and saying, "Then should I have gotten some of the bittersweet stuff? Maybe this matcha cake would work for you?"

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying with a nod, "Alright, I'll have that."

Julius revealed a wide smile before turning to Alex to say, "Then we'll have to trouble you for an order of the matcha cake."

Alex's chin dropped the moment that he heard this.

He looked at me like I had betrayed him, but I didn't react at all to this.

So in the end, he stood up and went back to the kitchen to get this.

This time, when he left, Julius looked at me and said with a mischievous smile, "I didn't know that you had this side to you."

It seemed that the gamble had paid off.

I figured that stonewalling him wouldn't do anything, so I chose to play along with him. The only way to play along with an unreasonable person like this was to act as unreasonable as him.

So I went along with his crazy actions and put everything on Alex.

As it turned out, it finally got a few words out of him.
