Chapter 639: Regain The Attention She Craved

Villain Ch 639. Regain The Attention She Craved

The bustling crowd around Father^Alex couldn’t escape Sophia’s keen observation. Standing amidst her comrades, including Elio, Sophia’s eyes were drawn to the commotion near the gate. While Elio was engrossed in delivering the final instructions for their battle tactics, Sophia’s attention drifted toward the crowd around Father^Alex.

Sophia couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy gnawing at her insides as she watched the crowd. Normally, she was the center of attention, her radiant armor and powerful staff drawing players to her like moths to a flame. But today was different.

Despite the impressive gear she had recently acquired from Liam, Sophia found herself cast aside, overshadowed by Father^Alex’s sudden surge in popularity. It was a bitter pill to swallow, seeing all eyes fixed on him while she remained relegated to the sidelines.

She couldn’t shake the feeling of being overlooked, like a supporting character in her own narrative. It was a stark reminder of how quickly fortunes could change, where popularity was often fleeting and fickle.

Despite her best efforts to remain composed, Sophia couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. She had worked hard to earn her place among the top players, but now it seemed like all her efforts had been in vain.

’Tch! I thought this couldn’t be worse, but I was wrong,’ Sophia thought in annoyance. This afternoon’s failure plan had given her a bad mood already, and now this?

Sophia’s frustration bubbled up like a pot on the verge of boiling over. She couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was spiraling out of control, slipping through her fingers like grains of sand.

With a disgruntled sigh, she raked her fingers through her hair, a scowl etched on her features. Today was turning out to be one disappointment after another, and she was quickly running out of patience. It felt like a slap in the face, as if the universe were conspiring against her, snatching away the attention she so desperately craved.

And to make matters worse, her grand plans to orchestrate a graceful exit from her current guild were now in shambles. How could she possibly make a dramatic exit when all eyes were fixed on Father^Alex?

Sensing Sophia’s frustration, James stepped in to play his part. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and flashed her a reassuring grin. "Yes. You’re the best healer we’ve got, so who better to lead the charge?" he said, his tone upbeat and encouraging.

Leaning in closer, he whispered in Sophia’s ear, "And hey, maybe this will help shift the devil emperor’s focus away from Father^Alex and back onto you. Once you’re back in the spotlight, everyone will see how indispensable you are."

James’s words hit Sophia like a bolt of lightning, jolting her out of her momentary funk. James was right—this was her chance to reclaim her status as the top healer and regain the attention she craved. With renewed determination, Sophia squared her shoulders and met James’s gaze with a determined nod.

"Thanks, James. I needed that reminder," Sophia said, her voice steadier now. She took a deep breath, letting James’s words sink in. "I’ll do my best to guide the new recruits and make sure they’re ready for battle. It’s not about popularity; it’s about helping the guild succeed," she added, her tone resolute.

An announcement appeared on top of the players’ screen.

[The war event will start soon. The Devil Emperor and his subordinates will attack the city of Gorroc. The event will end in 2 hours.]

"The war event’s about to kick off," Elio reminded them, his voice brimming with urgency. He cast a searching glance at Sophia. "You ready for this?"

Sophia’s response was swift and resolute. "Absolutely," she replied, her expression matching the gravity of the moment.

With a nod of satisfaction, Elio rallied the group. "Alright, let’s give it everything we’ve got!" he declared, his tone commanding.

In an instant, the players sprang into action, each one assuming their designated positions with a sense of purpose and determination.
