Villain Ch 732. I Love Watching Her Squirm
Once Allen emerged from the swirling vortex of the portal, he found himself standing at the cursed crypts' gates. The air crackled with dark energy, and the stone walls seemed to whisper secrets of centuries past. But this time the gates weren't empty and it wasn't just NPC Thera who greeted him. Instead, two figures stood waiting for him, their presence unmistakable even in the dim light.
His gaze immediately locked on Alice, the witch who leaned against the cold stone wall with an air of nonchalance. Her black witch hat cast a shadow over her face, adding to her mysterious aura. "Well, well, well… Look who just came back from his show off," she greeted him, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Beside her, Bella materialized from the shadows, her nine tails swaying gracefully behind her. Like Alice, she exuded an air of confidence, her eyes glinting with mischief. "I thought you were a humble man, kind and helpful. But… look at you. 'Slaughtering the players in the middle of the city cruelly,'" she mocked, her words laced with the same biting sarcasm.
Bella's remark earned a grimace from Allen, his devilish facade momentarily faltering. "Ugh… humble, kind, and helpful?" he echoed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "That's the best sarcasm I've ever heard," he added with a huff, running a hand through his tousled hair in frustration.
A proud smile played on Bella's lips at Allen's reaction. "Thank you," she said, her voice tinged with satisfaction.
Alice chimed in, her confidence unwavering. "That's our specialty," she declared, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she met Allen's gaze. "So what's up?" Alice asked, closing the distance between them with a fluid grace. She reached out, her finger tracing a line of blood that adorned Allen's cheek, her movements casual yet purposeful.
With a smirk, she licked the blood from her fingertip, her gaze never leaving Allen's face. "That show wasn't just for nothing, right?" she prodded, her tone laced with curiosity.
Bella joined them, stopping on Allen's other side with a fluid grace that mirrored Alice's. With a swift movement, she caught Allen's chin between her index finger and thumb, tilting his face to the side to meet her gaze. "And I'm sure it's not just because of a quest either," she added, her voice soft yet insistent. "I know you prefer to solve everything silently.
A show means something," she concluded, her eyes boring into his with unwavering intensity.
"How do you know about it?" Allen inquired, his voice steady despite the rising curiosity gnawing at him.
Alice shrugged nonchalantly, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Gaming forum," she replied simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Allen's frown deepened. "But I just returned. How is it possible that they've already uploaded the footage?" he questioned, his disbelief evident in his tone.
Bella chimed in, her voice light and airy. "A streamer shared his live stream when you pulled the show in Ront City," she explained, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Allen let out an exasperated huff, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Those streamers are certainly fast," he remarked, a note of annoyance creeping into his voice.
Bella shrugged, her expression unperturbed. "Well, you can't blame them. You put on quite the spectacle," she pointed out, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes.
Allen couldn't help but concede the point with a reluctant nod. "True," he admitted begrudgingly, though a part of him still couldn't quite wrap his head around the idea of his exploits being broadcasted to the masses so quickly.
"Besides," Bella continued, her tone lightening, "it's not all bad. Increased views mean more exposure for the game, and the company can use that to boost its reputation. It's a win-win solution," she added, her words carrying a sense of optimism.
Allen couldn't argue with that logic.
"Alright, spill the beans, Allen. Why'd you go all out in the middle of the city? And announcing Elio as your next target? You do realize that makes it ten times harder to take him down, right?" Alice's curiosity was palpable as she leaned in, eager for an explanation.
"You all know about what went down between Elio and Sophia, right? Well, I happened to bump into Sophia. Well, more like spotted her," he began, his voice carrying a hint of intrigue.
"In the game or real world?" Bella interjected, her curiosity piqued.
"In-game," Allen clarified, a sly grin creeping onto his face. "And let's just say, she's up to something fishy. So, I figured I'd teach her a little lesson," he explained with a casual shrug, though the mischief in his eyes betrayed his true intentions.
"Again?" Bella scoffed, a grimace crossing her features. "I don't get why she's always stirring up trouble," she mused, shaking her head in disbelief.
Allen raised an eyebrow, a bemused smile playing on his lips. "Beats me," he replied, his tone laced with amusement. "It's like she's got a one-way ticket to Drama City," he joked, earning a chuckle from Alice.
"But seriously, what's her deal?" Bella pressed, her expression one of genuine confusion.
Allen shrugged, a hint of frustration flickering across his features. "I wish I knew. She's like a puzzle wrapped in a mystery," he confessed, his tone tinged with both amusement and exasperation. "But hey, keeps things interesting, right?" he added with a grin, always one to find the silver lining in even the most perplexing situations.
"What's certain is that she's still thirsty for my attention," he remarked, a hint of amusement coloring his voice. "Well, her reputation is already in the gutter, especially after she stirred up that drama herself," he added, shaking his head in disbelief. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
Bella's analytical mind kicked into gear, her eyes narrowing in thought. "So, that's your reason for putting on the show. You knew she was trying to drag the Order of Valiance, Father^Alex, and Elio's reputations through the mud. So, you flipped the script and gave them the spotlight to counter Sophia's plan. You are trying to help them," she concluded, nodding in understanding.
Allen chuckled, nodding in agreement. "You're not wrong, Bella. That's about 80% of the reason," he admitted, a devilish glint dancing in his eyes.
"Why only 80% though?" Alice piped up, her curiosity getting the best of her.
A wicked grin spread across Allen's face, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Because," he began, his tone dripping with amusement, "I didn't just do it to help Elio, Father^Alex, or the Order of Valiance. I did it for my own entertainment," he confessed, his smirk growing wider by the second.
Alice's eyes widened in realization, a mixture of shock and awe playing across her features. "Wait, you mean you orchestrated that whole spectacle just for kicks?" she exclaimed, disbelief coloring her voice.
Allen nodded, his grin widening into a full-blown smirk. "Oh, absolutely. After all the chaos Sophia's caused, I figured it was only fair to give her a taste of her own medicine. Plus, I can't deny I love watching her squirm," he admitted, his laughter ringing out through the crypts.
