Villain Ch 745. Don’t Let Her Suck You Dry
Allen’s gaze landed on Elio, James, and Noah, who had just arrived at the scene. He was surprised at how quickly they had made it back, considering the distance from the respawn point to their current location. It was quite a trek, but here they were, looking none the worse for wear.
“You’re surely fast,” Allen remarked, his tone calm but laced with incredulity.
Elio, James, and Noah exchanged glances. Despite the urgency of their arrival, they appeared calm and composed, as if they were accustomed to jumping into the fray at a moment’s notice.
“We heard what happened through the guild chat,” Noah explained, his voice steady and confident. “We figured we’d better come check it out.”
To be honest, Allen found the situation a little surreal. Just a few minutes ago, he and Elio, James, and Noah had been locked in a battle as enemies, but now they stood together, chatting casually like fellow players.
With a quirk of his eyebrow, Allen pointed at Elio’s HP bar, meaning he asked Elio how he had managed to recover so quickly, not why they decided to come back here.
Elio met Allen’s gaze and offered a simple explanation. “I met Father^Alex at the respawn point,” he said. “He healed us all and gave us his Agility buff.”
“Ah, that makes sense,” Allen replied, nodding in understanding.
But Elio wasn’t finished yet. He turned the question back to Allen, his curiosity piqued. “You haven’t answered my question,” he pointed out, his tone tinged with curiosity.
Allen shrugged nonchalantly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. “I just happened to pass by,” he answered simply, choosing to keep his true motives to himself.
“I thought you went hunting,” James suddenly interjected, his voice cutting through the conversation.
Allen turned to face James, offering a sheepish grin in response. “I was,” he admitted with a shrug. “But my two companions,” he tilted his head towards Alice and Bella, “were online, so I figured I’d head back to the city to restock my potions a bit.”
James raised an eyebrow inquisitively, his curiosity piqued. “And someone told you about the emperor’s appearance?” he prompted, eager to hear the rest of Allen’s story.
A mischievous glint danced in Allen’s eyes. He recounted the events that had transpired. “Nah. Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon the argument. I didn’t see the emperor, but I saw how your main healer jumped from the potion store’s second story,” he explained, his tone tinged with amusement. “So I couldn’t help but stick around and watch for a while.”
James chuckled, his amusement evident as he imagined that comical scene. “Well, that’s a good reason to stick around,” he remarked.
Allen smirked in response, his gaze flickering towards Elio. “You surely have a lot of patience, don’t you?” he teased, his tone dripping with mock admiration.
Elio let out a silent exhale, tilting his head to the side in a gesture of resignation. “No, I don’t have much left,” he admitted with a wry smile, acknowledging the truth in Allen’s jest.
“Elio, right?” Bella suddenly chirped, her voice cutting through the chatter around them.
Elio turned towards Bella, his brow furrowing slightly in confusion. “Yes?” he replied, his tone curious as he met her gaze.
Bella didn’t waste any time beating around the bush. “Are you still going to let her in your guild?” she asked, her question direct and to the point.
Elio hesitated for a moment, weighing his words carefully. “Yes,” he answered simply, his tone resolute despite the uncertainty in his eyes.
Bella raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. “Until when?” she pressed, eager to understand Elio’s reasoning.
Elio glanced around at the bustling crowd surrounding them, his expression unreadable. With a shake of his head, he gestured with his gaze, indicating that he couldn’t discuss the matter further in such a crowded space.
Bella nodded in understanding.
“So your decision is still the same as what you said before?” Allen inquired, his tone filled with concern as he sought confirmation.
Elio nodded in response, his expression solemn. “Yes. Everything is still the same,” he affirmed, though a flicker of doubt crossed his features. Deep down, he couldn’t shake the feeling of uncertainty that gnawed at him.
“Sad,” Alice interjected suddenly, her voice cutting through the conversation like a knife.
Elio turned to face Alice, his curiosity piqued by her unexpected remark. “What do you mean?” he asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.
Alice’s response was swift and blunt, her words delivered with icy precision. “She clearly only uses you,” she stated matter-of-factly, her tone laced with disdain. “Just like how she used you at that restaurant to defend her,” she added, her warning ringing in Elio’s ears like a somber echo.
Elio felt a knot form in the pit of his stomach as he processed Alice’s words. Previously, he had never considered the possibility that he was being manipulated, but now he knew what Alice said was right.
James and Noah exchanged uneasy glances as Alice brought up the uncomfortable topic of the restaurant incident. They vividly remembered how Elio had vehemently defended Sophia’s actions, only to find themselves witnessing a complete turnaround in her behavior.
Elio sought confirmation from Allen’s companions. “You guys were there too? One of Allen’s girls?” he inquired, a note of uncertainty creeping into his voice.
Bella responded with a smirk, her amusement evident. “Yes, it was quite a spectacle for us,” she admitted, her tone tinged with amusement at the memory.
Elio couldn’t help but chuckle, though his expression was tinged with irony. “That should be my line,” he quipped, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. It was clear that he found the entire situation absurd, a man with a lot of women.
Allen decided to intervene before things took a turn for the worse. “Whatever it is, you better don’t let her suck you dry,” he advised, his tone serious as he addressed Elio directly.
With that, Allen made a move to bring their meeting to a close, turning away from the group with a sense of finality. “Good luck, Elio,” he called over his shoulder.
