Chapter 285: 285: The Three Six’s

Many might say that what he was doing was too risky and even foolish, because at the end of the day, the possibility of Lilith finding out the truth is high.

And Simon would not disagree with them.

But what he would not do is admit that he was actually a hero reincarnated into the body of a demon child.

He had seen the gaze Lilith had the moment she believed that he was the hero, and it was not a gaze of warmth or indifference, but a threatening gaze.

If he allowed her to believe that he was actually the hero or if he confessed to it, then his life would be in serious danger.

Lilith was an unknown variable in his life, and for Simon, he did not feel comfortable knowing that he had an ancient being living in his heart.

Who knows if Lilith decides to kill him because he’s a reincarnated hero?

Simon would instantly die with immense regrets if such a thing happened.

Because of this possibility, he decided to lie to preserve his lifed.

Unfortunately for him, he was not able to control his facial expressions and emotions the moment he read that there was a possibility that his flesh and blood were used by his comrades to become Demi-Gods.

And who could blame him?

He did not react when he read that his reputation had been completely tarnished.

But reading that his flesh and blood were used by his comrades to get more powerful?

He didn’t expect that… unfortunately.

Also, he couldn’t give a half ass lie since the chances of that deceiving Lilith would be extremely low.

He could also not refuse to answer the question since that would be highly suspicious, and Lilith could take it as him not wanting to admit that he was actually the hero.

Telling a lie that he was the Demon King of Death in his past life was dangerous, but the positive thing about this was that he had bought more time for himself.

By the time Lilith found out, he’d be stronger and more knowledgeable.

He’ll be able to protect himself more even if Lilith still had a higher rank at the end of the day.

Aside from the fact that he would have more time and that he’d be stronger, there was one more thing Simon was banking on, in the possibility that she finds out the truth.

But this thing was unreliable to Simon, and it would only be used as a last resort.

Meanwhile, Lilith had a frown on her face as she thought about everything Simon had said.

If one did not know Simon’s personality and if they did not know what he was capable of, they would have completely believed him because everything he said made sense.

And that concerned Lilith a lot.

She had watched him craft his lies and manipulation when he was interrogated, so she knew what he was capable of.

Everything he said made perfect sense, and the one thing that nearly made her to believe his words was the fact that she had never heard of a human reincarnating as a demon.

None of the weak gods the earthlings worshipped and not even those beings who were behind the demise of the Daemons could do such a thing.

She knew of none.

This was what troubled her and made her to nearly believe that he was actually a reincarnation of the Demon King of Death.

’If he was not so scheming and if he was not a lying bastard, I would have believed him.’

She looked at him from up to down, then she scoffed and went back into his heart.

“Don’t think I believe you. I’ll be watching you.”

Simon said nothing and just stared at the black smoke entering his heart with a light smile.

When Lilith completely entered his heart, he shook his head with the same light smile, then he took the book on Geopolitics and began to read.

In the demon realm, there were six main kingdoms, six main clans, and six main tribes.

Before today, Simon had no idea what the six main kingdoms, clans, and tribes were. And now, he was not so ignorant anymore.

One of the six main tribes is the Ashborn Tribe which he was familiar with since the Duskfang Tribe was a subordinate of the Ashborn Tribe.

The other main tribes are the Orc Tribe, the Ghoul Tribe, the Lizard Tribe, the Goblin Tribe, and the Harpy Tribe.

Simon was a little bit surprised about some of the six main tribes like the Goblin and Harpy Tribe, but he decided to place his thoughts at the back of his mind.

As for the six main clans, there’s the Shadowgrave Clan, the Martial Clan, the Beast Clan, the Dream Clan, the Bloodmoon Clan, and strangely… the Darkmoon Clan.

Simon’s lips twitched the moment he read the name of this clan.

’This is a clan of werewolves, and I just remembered that they worship the black moon… Are they going to hate me if the find out that my name is Blackmoon?’

Simon let out a soft sigh while shaking his head, then he continued reading.

He already knew about the Shadowgrave Clan and the Martial Clan, so he ignored them.

He also knew about the Bloodmoon Clan. They were a clan of vampires, and well, they and the Darkmoon Clan were not on good terms.

The Beast Clan was easy to understand. It was basically a clan of beasts.

But the Dream Clan was a new clan. There was no Dream Clan during his time.

’The Dream Clan is a clan of succubi and incubi?’

Simon was surprised by this, and he could not help but glance in the direction of Ari- the librarian.

’Hmm. So the succubi and incubi are now a main clan… Interesting.’

He moved on to the six main kingdoms which are the Infernal Kingdom, the Abyssal Tide Kingdom, the Titanfall Kingdom, the Nether Kingdom, the Darkness Kingdom, and the Storm Kingdom.
