I Became the Demon King of Lust

As soon as she put this paper down and her voice fell, everyone except for me immediately went over to look at this piece of paper.

Even Long Shui Ling couldn't help being shocked and going along with them.

After all, she had never heard about this before.

As they read the police report, there were different expressions that were revealed.

Long Shui Ling revealed a look of relief when she saw that I was only listed as a witness instead of being listed as an offender or a victim.

Her father and grandfather both revealed disappointed looks.

If this police report had been more serious, they could have used it as some kind of excuse to oppose Long Shui Ling being with me.

But it didn't seem like they could.

I wasn't surprised at all to see her pull this out.

In that report on me earlier, there were many things that no one should have known about me that had been found.

For a police report like this, it should be easy for them to get.

I just calmly looked at her and said, "This was a matter that I was involved in, but I just gave a statement as a witness and nothing else. I don't think that it should have any effect on my reputation."

But Long Shui Ling's mother shook her head before saying, "Even if it is a small matter, it can be used to smear you. People don't always play fair and like to disrupt the truth, so even this can be used against you."

I slightly knitted my brows, but I couldn't refute this.

Long Shui Ling revealed a worried look when she heard this, but the expressions on the faces of the father and grandfather were still the same.

They already knew what Long Shui Ling's mother would say next.

"But to cover up a small matter like this is just a simple wave of a hand for our Long Group. So it isn't as if this matter is a big deal in the first place." Long Shui Ling's mother said in a casual voice.

Both Long Shui Ling and I looked at her in shock when she said this.

I slowly asked, "But…why would you do this?"

She looked back at me with a smile as she said, "You're the one that Ling Ling likes. Why would I not do this for my daughter's happiness?"

Long Shui Ling's face turned red again when her mother expressed her feelings this clearly, but she still looked back up and said, "Thank you."

Long Shui Ling's mother just looked at her with a smile.

I couldn't help revealing a strange look since I never thought that things would go this way.

I really didn't know what to say in this situation since this was my first time facing this kind of absolute power.

It was the kind of power where even the police or the government wasn't considered anything. This was the true power of the world's richest family.

For a poor man like me, it really was too much of a shell shock for me to accept that easily.

After a long time, I just said in a stunned voice, "Thank you."

Long Shui Ling's mother gave a nod before saying, "Un."

Though the smile wasn't as wide as it was when Long Shui Ling had thanked her and there seemed to be a sharp gaze in her eyes.

It was almost as if she was judging me still.

After a moment of silence, Long Shui Ling's mother took out another piece of paper from the folder that she had been holding and she placed it on the table as well before asking, "Also, I'll need you to tell me about this."

Once again, everyone immediately came forward to look at the piece of paper.

They found that it was a report from the Awakener Association.

It was a report from a guard at one of the dungeons.

To be specific, it was a report from the guard captain of the first dungeon that Lin Fan had gone to.

This was the report that had been submitted after the incident with Sasha.

As they read this report, they couldn't help narrowing their eyes before turning to look at me.

It was one thing for one incident to happen, but for two incidents to happen back to back like this…it was suspicious.

This time, Long Shui Ling's father and grandfather didn't look at me with eyes of hatred over taking Long Shui Ling away from them. This time, they looked at me like I was an actual threat.

Long Shui Ling also couldn't help revealing a concerned look.

It wasn't that she was suspicious, but she was concerned about him since she didn't know that he had suffered this much.

I knew that whatever the reason she took these reports out, the last thing that I could do was react.

So I stayed calm as I asked, "What can I tell you about it?"

Long Shui Ling's mother narrowed her eyes even more as she said, "For you to be involved in two big incidents right after another like this, doesn't this seem suspicious? How can you explain this?"

Long Shui Ling knitted her brows a bit when she heard this and she turned to say, "Moth…."

Before she could finish, her mother raised a hand and said, "Ling Ling, this is important. Let him answer the question."

Long Shui Ling looked unhappy to be interrupted like this, but I stopped her by taking her hand and calming her down.

Then I looked back at her mother and said, "There's nothing suspicious about this. It was my first time in the dungeon and I never expected anything like that either. All I can say is that it was an unfortunate accident."

Long Shui Ling's mother narrowed her eyes even more after hearing this before saying, "You're someone that could obtain a C Rank Irregular License, you shouldn't be weak enough to be defeated by an area boss in a weak dungeon, right? Don't you find this strange?"

When she said this, all of them looked at me with narrowed eyes that were filled with doubt again.

But I didn't panic as I had already thought of an excuse.

So I calmly said, "This was when I had first awakened as an Awakener, so I still didn't have full control over my powers yet. The powers that I gained were powers that I had slowly built up, so I didn't have these powers back then."

Long Shui Ling's mother just looked at me for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

She also knew this as well since she had read the reports already.

She knew that this incident had happened right after he had become an Awakener, so it made sense that he wasn't that powerful yet.

But she had found this suspicious which was why she had brought these two reports out for him.

She had wanted to see if she could frazzle him with them and make him reveal something.

But she hadn't been able to find a single trace of guilt in his eyes.

It seemed that he really was clean.

However, there was still one more thing that she had to address.

Long Shui Ling's mother reached into the folder one more time and pulled out a photo that she placed on the table.
