Novel Full Chapter 744 Justify
Villain Ch 744. Justify
Sophia slouched in her chair, frustration coursing through her veins like wildfire. She clenched her jaw tightly, her teeth grinding together in agitation as she battled to rein in her mounting anger. “Calm down, Sophia. Calm down,” she muttered under her breath, the words a mantra meant to soothe her frayed nerves.
But even as she tried to quell her rising rage, Sophia couldn’t shake the feeling of defeat that hung heavy in the air. This was her first time rage quitting, and it was painfully obvious. She hadn’t even bothered to say anything or use her healing skill to mend her wounds before storming out of the game.
But at that moment, leaving seemed like the only option to spare herself from further frustration.
“Maybe I should stop playing,” she mused aloud, the thought weighing heavily on her mind. Lately, nothing seemed to be going her way, and it grated on her last nerve. The failures seemed to pile up one after another, leaving Sophia feeling disheartened and defeated.
Her failed attempt to tarnish Elio’s reputation and boost her own had been the final straw. She had thought she could rally at least some of the players to her side, but it had all unraveled in spectacular fashion, leaving her feeling foolish and humiliated.
In the middle of Sophia’s whirlwind of thoughts, the scornful looks of the players who had mocked her replayed in her head, each glance a dagger to her pride. She gritted her teeth, feeling a surge of defiance rise within her. She didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of seeing her back down.
But as the moments ticked by, Sophia realized that she needed to regain her composure. She couldn’t let her emotions dictate her actions, no matter how infuriating the situation was. “Well, maybe it’s a good idea to lay down for a while,” she muttered to herself, trying to find a way to diffuse the tension that had built up inside her.
Sophia began to brainstorm excuses for her behavior, searching for a way to justify her actions to herself and others. She thought about blaming her outburst on the pressure from her new job, or perhaps on the most basic of reasons – her menstrual cycle. After all, who could blame a girl for being a bit moody during that time of the month?
She was sure that most women would understand and take her side, knowing that hormonal swings were a real and challenging aspect of being a woman.
With a sigh, Sophia cast a glance at the VR device lying on her desk. Despite her frustration and embarrassment, she knew that she couldn’t let this setback deter her from her goals. “We’ll see how it goes,” she muttered.
Meanwhile in the game, in the bustling Ront city, amidst a sea of players, Alice couldn’t suppress a chuckle once Sophia’s avatar vanished from sight. Allen and Bella, who stood by her side, exchanged flat stares at Alice’s reaction. Their expressions were a mix of bemusement and resignation as they watched Alice’s antics unfold.
“I can’t believe this! She raged quit,” Alice whispered to Allen and Bella, her voice laced with barely suppressed laughter. She couldn’t help but find the situation amusing, even if it meant causing a bit of chaos in the process. After all, what was the harm in a little mischief now and then?
Allen and Bella shared a dry smile at Alice’s words, their amusement mirroring her own. They knew better than to try and rein in Alice’s playful nature – it was a part of what made her who she was, for better or for worse.
“You surely have your fun, huh?” Bella remarked with a huff, her gaze flickering between Alice and the spot where Sophia’s avatar had just vanished. Despite her exasperation, there was a hint of fondness in Bella’s voice. She knew that Alice’s antics could be frustrating at times, but she also knew that it was all in good fun.
Alice chuckled in response, her grin widening at Bella’s comment. “Of course! What’s the point of playing if you can’t have a little fun?” she quipped, her playful tone tinged with mischief.
Alice’s prank on Sophia had been orchestrated with meticulous precision, starting with the fake emergency message that had sent Allen and Bella into a brief panic. They had rushed to evacuate, their hearts pounding with adrenaline as they braced themselves for danger. But as they regrouped with Alice and learned the true nature of the situation, a sense of amusement replaced their initial panic.
Allen and Bella couldn’t help but cringe at Alice’s audacity, marveling at her ability to turn a mundane moment into an opportunity for mischief. Then, Alice had invited Allen and Bella to join her in hiding among the crowd of players, their disguises ensuring that they remained undetected.
It was a daring plan, but Allen and Bella were more than willing to play along, eager to see how Sophia would react to Alice’s prank.
Alice couldn’t help but stifle a chuckle as she recounted Sophia’s failed action show. “I mean, she just freely fell into the street like that and started blabbering about a non-existent danger,” she said, her laughter bubbling just beneath the surface. “It’s like she’s putting on a whole show for us.”
Allen let out a long huff, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Yeah,” he admitted, his amusement evident in his tone. Despite his initial reluctance to get involved, Allen couldn’t deny that Sophia’s antics were too entertaining to ignore.
“I thought you didn’t care for her anymore,” a male voice suddenly interjected from the other side of Allen, catching him off guard. Allen’s smile faltered slightly at the unexpected remark, his brow furrowing. He knew all too well the history between Sophia and himself, and the wounds that still lingered beneath the surface.
Allen turned to see the speaker among the dispersing crowd of players, a familiar face that he recognized instantly.
