Chapter 637: A Bet

Villain Ch 637. A Bet

Emma observed the growing closeness between Allen and Jane, a twinge of jealousy gnawed at her. Without a moment’s hesitation, she enveloped Allen in a tight hug, her gaze fixed on Jane with a hint of displeasure. It was as if she was silently warning Jane to keep her distance, asserting her claim over her brother with an intensity reminiscent of a protective pup guarding its favorite toy.

Jane, caught off guard by Emma’s reaction, raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. "Whoa there, easy girl. I’m not here to steal your brother," she interjected, her tone laced with amusement and a touch of exasperation.

Meanwhile, Allen intervened with a gentle reminder. Placing his hand on Emma’s head, he urged her to dial back her possessiveness. "Take it easy, Emma. Let’s not be rude," he chided softly, his voice carrying a hint of admonition.

Emma’s pout softened as she registered Allen’s reprimand. With a reluctant sigh, she loosened her grip on Allen, though her protective stance remained evident in the way she lingered close to him, as if shielding him from any potential intruders.

Jane, recognizing the need to defuse the tension, flashed a reassuring smile at Emma. "No worries, Emma. I get it," she reassured, her tone infused with understanding. Despite the momentary awkwardness, Jane was quick to diffuse the situation, eager to maintain the harmony of the celebration.

Emma’s tension eased under Allen’s comforting touch, and a sense of relief washed over her. She found solace in his presence, leaning into his embrace with a newfound sense of comfort.

Meanwhile, the others couldn’t help but exchange amused glances as they watched the scene unfold. The rapid shift in dynamics from jealousy to camaraderie was reminiscent of a scene straight out of a sitcom, eliciting both cringes and chuckles from them.

In particular, Emma’s swift transformation from possessive sister to affectionate sibling drew mixed reactions from the group. While they found her behavior slightly irritating at times, there was an undeniable charm to her endearing antics, adding a touch of humor to the otherwise tense moment.

With Emma now nestled comfortably against Allen, the group couldn’t help but feel a sense of amusement at the sight.

They continued the celebration, the atmosphere gradually lightened, and the tension from earlier seemed to dissipate. Allen and the girls gathered around the table, each grabbing a soda from the cooler and raising their cans for a toast.

"Cheers to Allen and his awesome new room!" Shea exclaimed, clinking her can against the others’.

"Cheers!" they echoed in unison, taking a sip from their drinks.

The soda might not have been as fancy as wine, but it was refreshing nonetheless. They knew they had to stay alert for the upcoming event war, and indulging in alcohol beforehand was definitely out of the question.

With their drinks in hand, they turned their attention to the bite-sized dinner spread laid out on the table. There were mini sliders with juicy beef patties and melted cheese, crispy chicken wings with tangy dipping sauce, and an assortment of fresh veggies with creamy ranch dressing.

"Wow, this looks delicious," Allen remarked, reaching for a slider and taking a bite. The savory flavor exploded in his mouth, eliciting a satisfied grin.

"It really does," Vivian agreed, grabbing a chicken wing and dipping it into the sauce. "And it’s perfect for chatting."

They spent the next hour or so nibbling on the delicious bites, engaging in lively conversation, and sharing laughter. Allen and the girls talked about everything from their past favorite video games to their most embarrassing moments, each story accompanied by bouts of laughter and playful banter.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The celebration wound down and the evening drew near, Allen and the girls began to wrap things up. But as they started to disperse, Emma’s frustration was palpable. She watched as the others prepared to log onto the game, eager to join in the action. But for Emma, it wasn’t so simple.

Feeling left out and annoyed, Emma decided to take matters into her own hands. With a huff, she excused herself from the room and made her way to her own room. She didn’t want to spend the evening alone, but her father’s strict rules left her with limited options.

Sighing heavily, Emma decided to log into the game as an NPC. It wasn’t the same as being a player, but at least she could still watch over Allen and the others from afar.

Allen and the girls began to prepare for their virtual war. They gathered around the couch, their VR devices in hand, ready to dive into the game. They had talked about their strategy before, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Still, the event, although similar to the previous one, they would not use the same tactics as before. Especially after they eavesdropped on the famous guild members.

"So, are we all set?" Allen asked, a grin spreading across his face as he adjusted his VR headset.

The girls nodded eagerly, excitement evident in their expressions. "Ready as I’ll ever be," Vivian replied.

Jane chuckled. "I just hope this event goes smoother than the last one. Well, I don’t mind making a bigger disaster though."

Alice nodded in agreement. "Yeah, let’s hope the players have upped their game this time."

"Agreed," Larissa chimed in. "And maybe this time the players will actually put up a fight!"

Allen chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Well, they better be ready, ’cause I’m in the mood for some serious gaming tonight."

"Too bad Emma can’t join us," Bella chimed in, a hint of sympathy in her voice.

Shea nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but it’s not up to us. It’s up to Jordan."

Allen chuckled. "Let’s focus on the task at hand. We’ve got a war to win."

Zoe grinned and leaned in closer. "Wanna makes things interesting, Allen? How about a little bet?"

Allen raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What kind of bet?"

Zoe grinned. "Whoever racks up the highest kill count tonight gets one wish from the rest of us."

Allen raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the idea. "You’re on," he replied, his competitive spirit kicking in.

With that, they activated their VR devices and disappeared into Hell’s Gate, ready to face the war event.
