Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 706. Suspicious Gesture

"No, you should think that way. It would be weird if it didn't cross your head at all," Allen reassured Azura, understanding her apprehensions and validating her feelings. He leaned forward slightly, his expression earnest as he tried to ease her worries. "I mean, we only met once at the tournament. You don't know how much I have changed after two years.

So I can understand your suspicions," he explained, hoping to provide some clarity.

Azura nodded slowly, her brow furrowing in contemplation. "Yet, you asked me to believe in you," she pointed out, her tone tinged with skepticism as she regarded Allen. She couldn't help but wonder why he would expect her to trust him so easily, especially given the circumstances.

Instead of panicking like Azura thought, Allen smiled calmly, his demeanor composed and collected. "That sounds selfish indeed. But I just said what I needed to say. The rest depends on you, whether you want to believe me or not," he stated, his tone measured and rational. It was a logical perspective, one that acknowledged Azura's agency in deciding what to believe.

"I'm not holding you back or anything like that, you're free to go after this," he reminded her, his words delivered with a gentle reassurance. Allen understood the importance of respecting Azura's autonomy and didn't want to pressure her into any decisions.

Allen knew that sooner or later, they would meet again at Goldborne's Mansion. At that time, any misunderstandings would likely dissolve, and they could address any lingering doubts or uncertainties. For now, he was content to leave the conversation open-ended.

Azura's mind raced as she processed Allen's words. She realized that he had a point; she couldn't judge him solely based on their brief encounter two years ago or now.

"Okay, I believe you," she finally stated, her voice carrying a hint of uncertainty despite her words. She hoped she was making the right decision, trusting Allen despite her lingering doubts.

Secretly, Azura reached under the table and retrieved her phone, making sure to keep her actions concealed from Allen's view. She quickly composed a message to Emma, detailing her current situation and expressing her concerns about Allen's sudden appearance and intentions.

Azura: Emma, I'm in Ravine City now. I'm at Serenity Brews Café with Allen. The guy I told you about last night. I don't know why he was suddenly in front of the station when I arrived in this city. He said he would take me to Goldborne Mansion before I said anything to him. I will send you my live location. Stay updated via empire

If I don't arrive yet until tonight and you can't contact me, track me down.

Azura: (Sent live map location)

Quickly, Azura slipped her phone back into her bag, she couldn't shake the feeling that Allen had noticed her actions. Even though he appeared to be lost in thought, gazing out the window, she couldn't help but wonder if he was silently observing her every move.

On the surface, Allen seemed calm and composed, but Azura couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air between them. She couldn't be certain of his intentions, despite his reassurances, and she found herself growing increasingly wary of his presence.

Meanwhile, Allen couldn't help but notice Azura's subtle movements, though he remained outwardly nonchalant. He had deliberately allowed her the privacy to send her message, knowing that it would provide her with a sense of security. However, he couldn't shake the feeling of curiosity about who she had contacted.

For sure, he guessed from her expression she sent it to her friend or someone closest to her, not the police. After all, Allen didn't do anything and offered his help in a public place. He didn't do anything illegal.

*Ding*

Azura's heart skipped a beat when she heard the familiar sound of a phone chiming. She instinctively reached for her own bag, only to realize that it wasn't her phone that had made the noise. Instead, it was Allen's phone that had interrupted the silence.

Curiosity piqued, Azura watched as Allen retrieved his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen. His reaction caught her off guard as he stifled a laugh, covering his mouth with his fist. Intrigued, Azura leaned in slightly, trying to catch a glimpse of what had amused him.

With a mischievous glint in his eye, Allen quickly typed out a reply on his phone, his fingers moving swiftly across the screen. Azura couldn't help but wonder what message he was composing, her curiosity growing with each passing moment.

Once Allen finished typing, he looked up at Azura with a playful grin, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

His gesture of covering his mouth to stifle his laughter intrigued Azura. She couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to it than just a simple text message. Allen's playful demeanor only fueled her curiosity further.

Deciding to delve into the matter, Azura cleared her throat, attempting to sound nonchalant despite the whirlwind of questions swirling in her mind. "Is that from your girlfriend?" she asked, her tone casual as she tried to mask her curiosity.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Allen's reaction was swift as he pocketed his phone, a sly grin playing on his lips. "Well, it's from my sister," he responded, his tone relaxed. "She asked where I was and who I was with," he explained. "And I said I was with you," he added casually.

Azura raised an eyebrow at his response, trying to gauge his reaction. It seemed innocent enough, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story. "Your sister, huh?" she remarked, a hint of skepticism in her voice. "Must be nice to have such a caring sibling," she added, offering a small smile.

"Yes, she's great," Allen agreed, nodding in affirmation.

Azura nodded, her curiosity momentarily sated. "It's nice to have someone looking out for you, especially family," she remarked, a hint of nostalgia creeping into her tone.
