Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives-Chapter 934 Not A Crime

Villain Ch 934. Not A Crime

Larissa nodded in agreement. "Unfortunately, people like Sophia exist. They're willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want, even if it means hurting others."

"True," Allen said with a shrug. His voice sounded nonchalant, almost dismissive.

Jane's expression, however, was far from indifferent. She looked visibly annoyed, her lips pressed into a thin line as she processed Allen's words. The itch to do whatever it took to prevent all this gnawed at her. But how? "Can't we do something about this?" she asked, her gaze sweeping over her friends, hoping one of them would offer a way out.

Vivian sipped her latte while Larissa toyed with her salad, lost in thought. Allen exchanged glances with the others and was silent for a moment before they shook their heads from side to side.

Allen huffed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Being a gold digger is unfortunately not a crime, and she has not yet reached the stage of wrecking someone's marriage," he explained. "She hasn't done any fraud, just manipulating. So... Yeah, it's frustrating," he admitted.

Jane sighed, her fingers drumming on the table. "It's so unfair. With your status, you could get rid of Sophia easily if she crossed the line."

"If only it were that simple," Allen muttered. He took a sip of his tea, trying to mask the irritation that was building up inside him. Sophia had been a thorn in his side for far too long. Her relentless pursuit, her manipulative ways—it was exhausting. But then his eyes turned cold. "But if she really gets on my nerves, I might end up getting my hands dirty."

It made them shiver.

Vivian leaned forward. "There must be something we can do. Maybe find a way to expose her without getting our hands dirty," she said quickly.

"Wait," said Larissa suddenly. That made them turn to her. A frown was on Larissa's face. "What about that Darren and Liam guy? She blackmailed them, right?" Larissa said, remembering that.

Allen nodded slowly, considering her words. "It's all just my guess and my analysis. There is no proof about that. That could be right, but it could be wrong. And I prefer to take the worst," he stated. That was a logical reason.

If they were wrong, it could be fatal.

The table fell into a contemplative silence. The background noise of the cafe seemed to fade away.

"Maybe we can find out from Darren and Liam about that," Larissa suggested, her eyes lighting up with the idea.

Vivian frowned, leaning back in her chair. "But how?" she asked, skepticism evident in her voice.

"By approaching them?" Jane chimed in, though her tone was unsure. It was just a random idea, something she threw out there without expecting much of a reaction.

But Allen's response was immediate and strong. "I won't let you do it," he said firmly. His voice wasn't loud, but the determination in his tone was unmistakable.

Jane choked on her breath, her heart suddenly beating faster. She glanced at Allen, seeing the seriousness etched on his face, his eyes cold and unyielding. Jealousy. She caught it clearly in his gaze.

"I won't let you," Allen repeated, sweeping his gaze over the others. "Or any of you approach them."

An awkward silence settled over the table. They all processed Allen's words. Larissa's brow furrowed in confusion, Vivian's lips pressed together in a tight line, and Jane looked like she was struggling to find the right words.

"Sorry, we're just trying to help," Jane finally said, her voice softer now. She didn't want to provoke him further, but she needed him to understand.

"I know," Allen replied, his tone slightly gentler. "But Darren and Liam… they're not good guys. I know their nature."

"Are they that bad?" Vivian murmured, but she sounded less convinced than she hoped.

"They're my former teammates," Allen explained. "And I know how they operate. They like to play around with women, and ask for dates or one-night stands through dating apps. They're not criminals, but they're not exactly trustworthy either."

Larissa's eyes widened in realization. "You think they'd try something with us?" she asked, her voice a mix of disbelief and concern.

Allen nodded, his expression darkening. "I wouldn't put it past them. They're not the kind of guys who respect boundaries. And I don't want any of you getting mixed up with them."

Jane swallowed hard. She knew Allen was protective, but this level of intensity was new. "But we need information. If Sophia's blackmailing them, we could have leverage."

Allen's jaw tightened. "I get that, Jane. But not at the cost of your safety." He paused, then added with a steely glint in his eye, "You guys are mine. I won't let them touch what's mine."

Each of the girls processed Allen's declaration in their own way, but a common thread ran through their thoughts, they had never seen this side of him, and it was both alarming and oddly exhilarating.

Jane felt her heart skip a beat. The possessiveness in Allen's voice was unexpected. She had always seen him as the easygoing guy who could make light of any situation. But this? This was a whole new level of intensity. Her mind raced, trying to reconcile the two sides of Allen.

Part of her was shocked, yet another part of her couldn't help but find it… hot. The way he claimed them as his, the protective edge—it was thrilling in a way she hadn't anticipated.

Vivian's reaction was a bit more measured, but no less affected. She prided herself on being calm and composed, but even she felt her pulse quicken at Allen's words. She had always known Allen was protective, but hearing him speak with such authority and possessiveness was something else entirely. She couldn't deny the flutter of excitement it caused.

It was as if he had drawn a line in the sand, and she found herself oddly drawn to the idea of belonging to him in such a definitive way.

Larissa felt a mix of emotions swirling inside her. On one hand, she was taken aback by Allen's assertiveness. She wasn't used to being claimed or protected so fiercely. On the other hand, she couldn't deny the rush of adrenaline that coursed through her veins at his words. It was exciting to see Allen so worked up, and so passionate.

It made her heart race and her mind wander to places she usually kept under lock and key.
