Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 737. Kill Them All

A smile crept onto Allen's face, softening the lines of his expression as he listened to Alice and Bella's words. "You know," he began, his voice tinged with a mix of surprise and gratitude, "in the past, I always felt uncomfortable when someone could read me so easily. I was afraid they'd think I was weird or hate me because of it.

But somehow, it's not so bad now," he admitted, his tone introspective.

It was a revelation for Allen, realizing that opening up his heart wasn't as terrifying as he'd once believed, especially when it was to someone who didn't judge him. But what caught him off guard was that it came from Alice and Bella. They were usually the ones cracking jokes and keeping things light-hearted, not delving into serious conversations.

Alice shot Bella a playful glance, her lips quirking up in a smirk. "I guess that's a compliment for us," she teased, a glint of mischief dancing in her eyes. Bella responded with a giggle.

Allen nodded in agreement, a sense of warmth settling over him. "Yeah, it definitely is," he confirmed, his voice tinged with affection.

But his moment of reflection was abruptly interrupted as his steps came to a sudden halt. "Wait... We have our target," he announced to them, his demeanor shifting from lighthearted to serious in an instant.

Around fifty meters in front of them, Elio stood in the center of a small gathering, surrounded by several members of his guild. His brow was furrowed in confusion as he listened intently to their conversation. Their expressions were serious, their voices hushed as they exchanged words. Some nodded in agreement while others gestured emphatically, emphasizing their points.

Elio's gaze darted from one member to another, trying to grasp the gravity of their discussion.

"I guess he's just online. James and Noah are warning him," Allen chimed in, his tone oozing with confidence as he relayed the information to his companions.

Alice nodded in agreement, her expression determined. "This is a good opportunity to take him down," she stated confidently, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

But Bella's brow furrowed in confusion as she scanned their surroundings. "I don't see Sophia though," she remarked, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she glanced from left to right.

Alice and Allen exchanged a glance before turning to Bella, their expressions morphing into flat stares. Bella's frown deepened in response to their silent communication. "What?" she protested. "I need some drama. Let me have my own happiness," she complained, her voice laced with mock indignation. "Besides...

she could be lurking somewhere, waiting for the perfect moment to strike," she added, attempting to justify her statement.

"For what?" Alice chimed in, her tone laced with skepticism. "She's a healer, remember? If she tries to attract the villains' attention like she did last time, she'll end up getting herself killed again," she pointed out bluntly, her eyes narrowing in concern.

Allen nodded in agreement, his expression serious as he considered the potential consequences. "And she'll only get more exposure for her stupidity if she does it here," he added, his voice tinged with frustration.

Bella bristled at the implication, her defenses rising instinctively. "Well, she could have used Liam and Darren," she countered, her tone defensive.

Allen shook his head, his expression thoughtful as he offered his analysis. "Yes, that's possible," he conceded, "but Liam and Darren are more like support players, like her. They have limited fighting abilities and are more suited for group or guild battles. A free-for-all fight like this would be difficult for them," he explained, his words carrying a note of sympathy for their teammates.

Alice nodded in agreement, her expression thoughtful as she considered Allen's words. "Maybe that's why they haven't been online much lately," she suggested.

"Well, it's not like they're rarely online," Allen pointed out, his tone matter-of-fact. "They just don't want to be around Sophia too often," he added.

Bella's curiosity piqued as she listened to Allen's explanation. "How do you know that?" she asked, her tone tinged with intrigue.

"Last time I checked the market to buy Enhancement Stones, I ran into them," he recounted, his voice tinged with amusement. "Sophia was there too, but instead of sticking by her side, Liam and Darren chose to flirt with other female players," he continued, his eyebrows raising in amusement. "Seems like their relationship dynamics have shifted."

Alice's eyes widened in understanding as she connected the dots. "So they've both had enough of her?" she assumed, her tone tinged with disbelief.

Allen shrugged nonchalantly, his expression thoughtful. "Kind of," he admitted. "But this is all just my guess," he added, his tone turning more speculative. "It could be that this is all part of their ploy. Sophia's playing hard to get, you know?

She acts all cold and indifferent, but in reality, she's just lurking nearby, trying to get my attention," he explained, a hint of amusement coloring his words.

Bella and Alice exchanged a glance, their expressions reflecting a mix of amusement and skepticism. "Well, whatever the case may be, it sounds like Liam and Darren have their hands full," Bella remarked, a smirk playing on her lips.

Allen nodded in agreement, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Yeah, it's definitely going to be interesting to see how this plays out," he agreed, a mischievous glint in his eye. Allen's sly smirk widened as he recounted the encounter with Sophia.

"Earlier, Sophia also approached Mila right after I left her at the tavern, and from Mila's expression, it looks like Sophia said something about me," he revealed, a hint of amusement lacing his words.

It wasn't lost on Allen that Sophia had made her move strategically. While he hadn't initially noticed her presence in the tavern, he had caught on when she made her way to the counter. Sensing trouble, Allen had swiftly ended his conversation with Mila and discreetly used his Hiding skill to eavesdrop on Sophia's exchange with the unsuspecting Mila.

Sure enough, his suspicions were confirmed as Sophia wasted no time in stirring the pot with her words.

Bella let out an exasperated groan at the mention of Sophia's antics. "Ugh... so typical of her," she muttered, rolling her eyes in frustration.

But Allen quickly redirected their focus to the matter at hand. "Anyway, we have to concentrate on the attack this time," he declared, his tone serious as he steered the conversation back to their mission. "We're going to make this an ambush."

Alice's smirk mirrored Allen's. "So we're going to kill them all?" she eagerly confirmed.

A mischievous glint sparkled in Allen's eyes as he echoed her sentiment. "Kill them all," he affirmed, his voice tinged with anticipation.
