Chapter 733 You Sound Like A Villain
Villain Ch 733. You Sound Like A Villain
Bella couldn't resist teasing Allen about his mischievous schemes. "Oh… so cruel. You sound like a villain," she teased, a mischievous smirk playing on her lips. She licked her lips suggestively, as if his laughter had sparked something primal within her.
Alice shot Bella a flat stare. "He is the villain," she reminded her, her tone tinged with disapproval at Bella's cavalier attitude towards their nefarious deeds.
Allen, however, interjected with a wry smile. "Correction, Alice. We are the villains," he corrected her, his tone carrying a hint of pride in their shared identity.
But Bella wasn't one to back down easily. "I mean a real villain," she clarified, her eyes dancing with mischief as she directed her comment at Allen.
Allen met her gaze with a flat stare, a flicker of amusement dancing in his crimson eyes. Bella's boldness never failed to amuse him, even if it did sometimes border on audacity.
Bella shifted uncomfortably under Allen's gaze, sensing the weight of his scrutiny alongside Alice's disapproval. A furrow appeared on Allen's forehead, a silent reprimand for her brazen comment.
"What? Have you never seen a fox demon as beautiful as me?" Bella retorted, her voice laced with sarcasm and a hint of wounded pride. With a flick of her hand, she tossed her hair back with feigned confidence, a defensive gesture to mask her discomfort.
"I do have problems with her, remember? A grudge to be precise," he stated matter-of-factly, his tone tinged with a hint of bitterness. "Let me take this opportunity to get back at her a bit," he added, a smirk curling at the corner of his lips. Enjoy new chapters from empire
Alice's eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned in, her curiosity piqued. "Revenge?" she repeated, her voice dripping with anticipation. A mischievous smirk played on her lips as she considered the possibilities.
Allen nodded, his smirk widening into a full-blown grin. "Oh, you bet. Someone's gotta teach Sophia a lesson, or she'll just keep causing trouble for everyone around her," he explained, his tone tinged with determination. "And since Elio's got that whole heroic sense of justice thing going on, I figure it's up to me to handle it my way," he added, his confidence unwavering.
Alice's smirk widened into a grin as she nodded in agreement. "I like it~," she declared, her voice sweet yet laced with a hint of mischief.
Allen glanced at Bella and Alice, a wry thought crossed his mind, 'We're all definitely suited to be this game's villains.' It was a strange coincidence, or perhaps fate, that had brought them together, all seemingly destined to play the role of villains in this virtual world. And truth be told, they played their parts with gusto.
"Anyway, do you want to hunt together?" Allen proposed, breaking the momentary silence that had settled among them. "I mean, hunting players together to complete the armor quest?" he clarified, his eyes flicking between Bella and Alice.
Alice's smirk transformed into an annoying smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Looking for allies to take down Elio, huh?" she teased, nudging Allen with her elbow in a playful gesture.
Allen cleared his throat, a hint of hesitation creeping into his voice. "Ehm… kinda," he began, his grin faltering slightly. "I stumbled upon some player names that rang a bell. One of them is VirtualValkyrie," he admitted, his tone betraying a sense of unease.
Bella raised an eyebrow, her expression turning serious. "Ah, I remember her. She tried to take you out yesterday, didn't she? No wonder she ended up on your hit list," she remarked, her tone laced with understanding.
Allen let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair in exasperation. "Yeah, that's the one. But here's the kicker," he continued, his voice tinged with frustration. "She's my cousin," he confessed, his words hanging heavy in the air.
Bella and Alice exchanged incredulous looks, their jaws dropping in unison. "What?!" they exclaimed in disbelief, their voices echoing through the crypts. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Allen shifted uncomfortably under their incredulous stares, feeling the weight of their shock like a lead weight in his chest. "I know, I know," he muttered, his voice tinged with guilt. "It's complicated," he added lamely.
Alice's disbelief was palpable as she processed the revelation. "So she's also a Goldborne?" she questioned, her voice tinged with astonishment.
Allen nodded, confirming her suspicion. "Yeah, but not by blood. She's from Emma's mother's side. Emma mentioned it to me last night," he explained, hoping to clear up any confusion.
Bella's worry and curiosity bubbled to the surface as she voiced her concern. "Does she know the devil emperor is you?" she inquired, her brow furrowing with concern.
Allen shook his head, his expression grave. "No, she's in the dark about that," he admitted. "Jordan made it clear that I shouldn't spill the beans," he added, referring to their mutual acquaintance who had brought them together in the game.
Alice sought clarification, wanting to ensure she understood the situation correctly. "So, she only knows you as Al, the Shadow Syndicate's assassin?" she clarified, her tone serious.
Allen nodded in confirmation. "Yeah, that's right," he affirmed, his mind racing with the implications of his cousin's presence in the game. "But the problem is, she's here," he added, his voice heavy with concern.
Bella and Alice's shock was evident as their eyes widened in disbelief.
"You mean she's at Goldborne Mansion now?" Bella questioned, her voice tinged with surprise as she sought clarification.
"Yup," Allen confirmed with a dry smile, his tone betraying a hint of amusement at their reaction.
Alice couldn't help but cringe at the absurdity of the situation. "How long will she stay?" she asked, her voice laced with uncertainty.
Allen shrugged, uncertainty flickering in his eyes. "I'm not sure. She didn't bring any clothes or anything, but knowing her, she'll figure something out," he replied, his mind already racing with potential scenarios.
