Villain Ch 751. Am I Coming at The Wrong Time?
In the guest room, Emma sprawled across the bed, the soft comforter cradling her as she lay on her stomach. Her feet danced lightly in the air, their tips grazing the mattress as she scrolled through her phone. The glow of the screen illuminated her features, casting a faint blue hue on her face.
Her attention was fixated on the gaming forum, where discussions buzzed with excitement and fervor. Her fingers danced across the touchscreen, navigating through threads and comments with practiced ease. Her topic of the moment was Azura’s avatar, VirtualValkyrie. It had sparked a wildfire of discussion.
Emma’s excitement bubbled over. She couldn’t help but admire Azura’s skill and finesse, evident in every move described by fellow gamers. A grin tugged at the corners of her lips as she read through the strategies and tactics employed by VirtualValkyrie.
"Wow, your ambush is surely smooth," Emma muttered to herself, her voice filled with genuine admiration. Though her gaze remained fixed on the screen, her words were directed at Azura, a silent acknowledgment of her prowess. She had seen it yesterday, but not as clearly as this.
Azura lounged on the sofa nearby, her posture relaxed as she held her phone in her hand. Like Emma, she was engrossed in her phone, scrolling through gaming forums with keen interest. But her focus was drawn to a different kind of spectacle - the drama unfolding between Sophia and Elio.
With a smirk playing at the corner of her lips, Azura absorbed every juicy detail of the unfolding saga. Sophia’s scathing remarks about Elio sparked a firestorm of reactions from other players, each comment adding fuel to the fiery debate. Azura’s eyes flickered with amusement as she read through the heated exchanges, relishing in the virtual spectacle.
"Thanks, but I still couldn’t kill him. Not even land a scratch," Azura remarked casually, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration. Despite her skill and determination, victory remained elusive, a tantalizing prize just out of reach. She sighed, running a hand through her hair as she leaned back against the cushions.
Emma glanced over at Azura, her eyebrows raised in playful incredulity. "What’s with that flat answer?" she quipped, a teasing lilt in her voice. With practiced ease, she navigated away from the gaming forum, her attention now focused on a new chat message that had just popped up. After she read the message, Emma’s fingers danced across the screen, tapping out a quick reply with practiced speed.@@@@
Azura peered over the screen of her phone, casting a playful glance at Emma. "What do you expect, huh? I already asked about Allen but you said it was a secret. I asked about the devil emperor, you also said it was a secret," she complained, her tone tinged with frustration.
Emma bristled at the accusation, her eyebrows furrowing in annoyance. "Anything you ask about the devil emperor is the company secret. While whatever you ask about my brother, you should ask him by yourself. Why ask me?" she shot back, her voice carrying a hint of defiance.
Azura let out an exasperated sigh, rolling her eyes in mock irritation. "Right. I can understand about the devil emperor. But you could at least tell me about your brother a bit," she countered, her tone softening into a playful negotiation.
A frown etched itself onto Emma’s face, her features contorting with discomfort. She let out a small cringe, feeling the weight of Azura’s inquiry. "Just ask him by yourself. His room is nearby," she replied tersely, a hint of frustration creeping into her voice. "He just became my brother, I also only know a little about him. What do you expect from me?
Emma’s lips curved into a mischievous grin as she met Azura’s gaze. "Oh, I was the one who asked him to come in without knocking," she confessed, her tone teasing. Yeah, the message she just replied to was from Allen. Allen asked her if she was with Azura, Emma replied yes to the message and asked Allen to enter the guest room without knocking the door since the door was unlocked.
Azura’s stare changed. She couldn’t help but shoot Emma a death stare, her annoyance palpable as she bit her lip in frustration. But Emma, ever the master of deflection, simply brushed past Azura’s glare, her attention fully focused on Allen.
"What brought you here?" Emma inquired, her tone casual as if Azura’s silent protest didn’t even register.
Meanwhile, Allen made his way over to the sofa, settling into the seat opposite Azura with a casual ease. "I saw Azura’s ambush footage and thought about taking her online," he admitted bluntly, cutting straight to the chase. There was no beating around the bush with him; he went straight for the main topic, hoping to avoid any further suspicion or awkwardness.
Azura’s irritation softened into curiosity as she processed Allen’s words. She arched an eyebrow, her gaze shifting between Emma and Allen. "Taking me online? What, like a gaming showdown?" she questioned, her interest piqued by the prospect of a challenge.
"No, like hunting together. I never met you in the game," Allen clarified with a grin, his tone light and playful.
Emma’s head snapped towards Allen, her expression turning sharp as she silently questioned him with a single look that screamed, ’Okay, spill it. What’s going on?’
In response, Allen offered a dry smile, his eyes glinting with mischief as if to say, ’She’s on my kill list. I’ve got to take her down, or I’ll never complete my quest.’
Emma’s frown deepened, her gaze narrowing as if to convey, ’Just hold off on the killing for now. Do you want to get caught?’
But Allen’s smile only widened, his gaze meeting Emma’s with a confident assurance that seemed to whisper, ’Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan.’
Allen shifted his attention back to Azura, his eyes alight with anticipation. "So, what’s your answer, Azura?" he asked, his voice filled with excitement. "I asked Kai if we had an extra VR device, and he said we have it."
Azura’s expression shifted between reluctance and confusion as she deliberated over Allen’s invitation. The idea of joining Allen was tempting, but uncertainty clouded her mind. Would she be able to keep up with his skills? What if she embarrassed herself in front of him?
Caught in a whirlwind of indecision, Azura chewed on her bottom lip, her thoughts racing a mile a minute.
