Chapter 278 A Couple Of Crazy Villains
Villain Ch 278. A Couple of Crazy Villains
A series of announcements immediately appeared in front of Allen once they returned to the Cursed Crypts.
[Congratulations you have completed the event!]
[You have killed 2772 players!]
[You have corrupted 70 NPCs! (75%)]
[You have destroyed 130 structures!]
[Level up!] X3
[You are now level 74!]
[You got 12302 Coins]
‘That much and I only went up 3 levels?’ Allen grumbled internally. Moreover, he knew most of them were quite high-level.
Allen couldn’t voice his discontent aloud. After all, three levels were still decent progress considering his current standing. Besides, he understood the logic behind it. The higher a player’s level, the more difficult it was to level up. It was the nature of the game. He knew that as he progressed further, the road ahead would only become more treacherous, and leveling up would become increasingly challenging. There might even be instances where he wouldn’t gain a single level from an event like this.
Allen’s attention was abruptly torn away from the announcements by Shea’s voice.
“You owe me thanks, Allen,” Shea declared with a sly grin on her lips, striding confidently towards him. Her smug demeanor was hard to ignore.
Allen blinked, utterly perplexed. “Thanks? For what?” he asked, his voice tinged with both curiosity and suspicion.
A mischievous sparkle danced in Shea’s eyes as she relished the moment. “For making your ex-girlfriend’s team turn against each other,” she replied, her voice dripping with satisfaction. She paused dramatically, allowing her words to hang in the air before continuing. “It was all because of me, Allen. I utilized my Copy Voice ability to manipulate Greg and Mac, turning them against each other in a fit of jealousy.” She couldn’t help but flash a wicked grin as she recounted her devious actions. A chuckle escaped her lips.
Allen was silent for a moment. A memory flashed in his mind. He vividly recalled the moment when Greg had unexpectedly lashed out and attacked him recklessly. Sure, Greg had always been a bit hot-blooded, but he wasn’t usually so blindly foolish. There had to be something that had triggered such an uncharacteristic outburst.
A mischievous smile played at the corners of Allen’s lips as he responded, his voice tinged with both amusement and curiosity. “You really do have a knack for stirring up trouble, don’t you?” His confusion slowly transformed into an evil smirk as he began to connect the dots.
Shea, sensing his change in demeanor, leaned closer to him, her sly smile still intact. The air around them crackled with electric anticipation. “Take a wild guess,” she whispered teasingly, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
Allen’s gaze locked onto hers, his expression filled with a mixture of satisfaction and intrigue. He didn’t need any verbal confirmation; he already knew why she had orchestrated this cunning plan. Shea had done it all for him. It was a twisted act of devotion, an unconventional display of her affection.
Unable to contain his joy, Allen wrapped his arm around Shea’s waist, pulling her closer to him. A sense of triumph filled his being. His eyes remained fixed on her, an unspoken understanding passing between them.
“Look at you, reveling in your villainous role,” Allen teased, his voice adopting a seductive tone. A playful smirk danced across his lips, but his eyes betrayed a darker, more sadistic glint. The satisfaction radiating from his gaze was palpable, a testament to their twisted connection.
Shea’s smirk widened, mirroring Allen’s own sadistic gaze. The satisfaction in her eyes was palpable as her hand crept up his neck, caressing his face with an alluring touch. At that moment, she exuded a mysterious allure, embodying the duality of her nature.
“Every businessman has a dark and sadistic side, Allen,” Shea purred, her voice dripping with honeyed sweetness. Her words hung in the air, leaving a tantalizing trail of intrigue. “That’s how I’ve survived in the cutthroat world of business for so long. So, this little game we’re playing here… it’s not exactly uncharted territory for me.”
Alice, witnessing this twisted exchange, couldn’t help but interject. Her jaw dropped, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. “You guys… You guys sound like a couple of crazy villains…” she blurted out, unable to contain her astonishment.
Bella chimed in with a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Well, that’s because we are the villains,” she declared.
Jane cast Alice and Bella a withering stare, her annoyance evident in her flat expression. “Why did you have to go and destroy the scene? I was just about to grab my popcorn and enjoy the show!” she grumbled, her disappointment palpable.
Alice and Bella exchanged a knowing glance, fully aware of the impact their interruption had caused. Larissa, unable to resist adding her own brand of cringe-worthy humor, chimed in. “Well, Jane, why just watch when you can be a part of the action with Allen yourself?” she quipped, a mischievous glimmer in her eyes.
Vivian, nodding in agreement, voiced her support. “Absolutely,” she whispered, the excitement evident in her voice. “Why settle for being a mere spectator when we can dive into the midst of it all?”
Zoe simply smiled at Shea. Her expression seemed to convey a silent message: “I won’t say a word or interrupt. I’ll be a good girl.”
“Right…” Shea sighed, pulling her hands away from Allen as she contemplated the turn of events. Her irritation was evident as she directed a flat stare at the girls who had inadvertently crushed the mood. “I suppose I should refocus on the task at hand,” she confessed, her voice tinged with a hint of resignation.
Larissa broke the silence, her voice brimming with anticipation. “Okay, so what’s our next move? We can’t just stick to the same tactic; the other players will catch on and counter it,” she pointed out, her eagerness evident in her voice. .
Jane’s eyes lit up as an idea sparked within her. “I’ve got it!” she exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement. She quickly gathered the group around, eager to share her strategy.
