MTLNOVEL Chapter 748 You Just Need To Seduce Her!
Villain Ch 748. You Just Need To Seduce Her!
Bella leaned back in her chair, her expression twisted in a mix of amusement and disgust. "That 'Something unrelated to gaming' makes me imagine her gossiping about Allen with Emma," she said, her voice laced with a cringe that spoke volumes.
The meeting room in the cursed crypts provided a haven where they could converse without fear of eavesdroppers or prying eyes. It was their sanctuary, a place where they could let down their guard and be themselves. And now, having returned to their original forms, they felt more at ease, more connected.
Jane, sitting opposite Bella, chuckled at the mental image Bella conjured. "I can totally picture that," she said, her laughter infectious. "I'm imagining her rolling around in bed, hugging her pillow with this weird grin plastered on her face, all because she found out Allen is her cousin. I mean, she's practically from Emma's mom's family, right?
So technically, it should be legal for her to have a crush on Allen," she reminded her.
The other girls fixed Jane with flat stares, processing her startling admission. Larissa, deciding to stir the pot, couldn't resist the opportunity to tease. "Did I just hear your own confession?" she said, her tone laced with playful incredulity as she arched an eyebrow.
Jane, caught off guard but unapologetic, nodded. "Uh, yeah. I did that before, so she probably did that too," she confessed matter-of-factly, not one to shy away from the truth, no matter how embarrassing.
Shea, unable to contain her amusement, let out a snort. "You rolled in the bed and hugged your pillow while thinking about Allen after our first meeting?" she asked incredulously, her laughter bubbling just beneath the surface.
Jane's admission seemed to open a floodgate of confession, as Zoe, normally reserved, spoke up timidly. "Uh, I did the same thing," she admitted, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Shea turned to Zoe, her jaw practically hitting the floor. "Oh my God, it's so cliché," she exclaimed, a cringe evident in her voice as she struggled to wrap her head around the revelation. The absurdity of the situation wasn't lost on them, but there was a sense of camaraderie in their shared embarrassment. Find more adventures on empire
"Can we go back to the main topic, please?" Allen interjected, attempting to steer the conversation back on track. It wasn't the first time their discussions had veered off course; distractions seemed to be their Achilles' heel.
Shea chuckled sheepishly, acknowledging the detour. "Oh, right. We just got distracted again," she confessed, her tone tinged with a hint of amusement at their collective tendency to lose focus.
Vivian chimed in with a gentle reminder. "Don't forget, she already announced in her streaming channel that she is taking a break. She probably won't be online today," she said, bringing their attention back to the matter at hand.
"Exactly," Larissa echoed, her agreement punctuated by a nod.
They fell into a brief silence, their frustration palpable as they exhaled in unison. The situation was becoming increasingly troublesome; if VirtualValkyrie remained offline, their quest would be indefinitely delayed, and obtaining their much-needed armor would be put on hold.
"But she just gained fame last night. It doesn't add up," Alice interjected, her brow furrowing in confusion. "And she disappeared without a word after the event finished. I mean, even if she's not feeling up to playing, her guild leader should've at least checked in with her before granting her a break," she reasoned, her voice tinged with frustration.
Such behavior was highly irregular, especially considering the importance of teamwork and communication within guilds.
"She could have explained everything via the guild chat on their Discourd server. She doesn't need to be online in the game to do that, right?" Bella chimed in, her voice laced with a note of realization. In the digital age, communication transcended the boundaries of virtual worlds, and Discourd served as a lifeline for players to stay connected even when they were offline in-game.
Alice nodded in agreement, her expression brightening at the possibility. "Ah, you're right," she conceded, grateful for Bella's insight. The prospect of VirtualValkyrie reaching out through guild chat dimmed their hope.
A short pause came as the gears in their heads turned.
Turning to Allen, Vivian posed a question that hadn't been considered before. "Did she bring her VR device?" she inquired, her gaze shifting to Allen expectantly.
Allen furrowed his brow in thought, racking his brain for any details he might have missed. "I don't know," he admitted with a hint of frustration. "She only brought one bag, and I'm not sure it's big enough to hold a VR device," he mused, a sense of urgency creeping into his voice as he realized the significance of the oversight.
"A bag or a purse?" Shea double-checked, her brow furrowing with concern.
"A purse," Allen confirmed, his tone firm as he recalled the details.
Vivian leaned forward with anticipation. "Small, medium, or large?" she inquired, eager for more information.
Allen hesitated, trying to recall the size of the purse. "Uh, I think it's a small one," he admitted, his expression betraying a hint of embarrassment.
A collective sigh of disappointment echoed through the room as the gravity of the situation sank in. VirtualValkyrie's absence seemed more inevitable with each passing revelation.
"She won't be online. She didn't even bring her VR device," Larissa lamented, her disappointment evident in her voice.
"But Goldborne should have an extra VR device laying around," Zoe pointed out, her voice tinged with optimism. Zoe's suggestion injected a glimmer of hope into the group's conversation, momentarily lifting their spirits from the depths of frustration.
Vivian's confusion threatened to dampen the newfound optimism. "The problem is, how do we get her online?" she questioned, her brow furrowed in contemplation.
After that question, as if by some unspoken agreement, the girls' attention turned to Allen, their expressions shifting into mischievous grins. Allen felt a wave of apprehension wash over him at the sudden change in their demeanor. "What's with that stare?" he asked, a sense of unease creeping into his voice.
Alice leaned forward with a sly smile. "You can make her online, Allen. You know that, right?" she teased, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Vivian's suggestion took a more suggestive turn, her words dripping with sweet deception. "You just need to seduce her and make her fall into your trap," she suggested, her role as a succubus in the game shining through in her playful demeanor.
Shea chimed in with her own brand of encouragement. "Make her walk into your trap," she added, her tone laced with excitement at the prospect of their plan coming together.
"Why do you make me sound like a playboy?" he quipped, a hint of incredulity in his voice. Allen's protest rang out amidst the playful banter, his gaze shifting between his companions with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Larissa, undeterred by Allen's protest, snapped her fingers in agreement. "Exactly! Just act like that! Just like a playboy!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm contagious as she encouraged him to embrace his inner charmer.
Jane chimed in with a suggestion that elicited a mixture of laughter and disbelief. "Or you can go straight peeling off your t-shirt to seduce her," she proposed, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Allen recoiled at the suggestion, his expression morphing into one of sheer disbelief. "I'm not a stripper," he protested, his jaw dropping at the audacity of Jane's suggestion. The thought of resorting to such drastic measures just to get his own cousin to come online was absurd and more than a little uncomfortable.
Internally, Allen entertained the ludicrous idea of stripping down to seduce Azura into bringing her VR device online, he couldn't help but cringe at the absurdity of it all. In his mind's eye, he pictured himself sneaking into the guest room, heart pounding with nervous anticipation.
He imagined his dad's incredulous reaction if he were to ever find out—disownment from the Goldborne family seemed like a very real possibility. Yet, in the desperate throes of their predicament, Allen found himself entertaining the idea, however fleeting and outrageous it may be.
"Janeee," Shea drawled, her eyebrows raised in mock disapproval. Shea's admonishing tone didn't go unnoticed by Jane, who met her flat stare with a sheepish grin.
Jane couldn't help but chuckle at the reaction, raising her hands in a gesture of surrender. "Right, I just found a cliché smut story on the forum last night. The male lead is a stripper," she confessed, her tone tinged with amusement. Despite the eyebrow-raising content, Jane couldn't deny the guilty pleasure she found in the steamy narrative. "So I can't help but think about it," she confessed.
"It's a good story, I could say," Jane added with a shrug, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Shea rolled her eyes in exasperation, but couldn't suppress a grin at Jane's unabashed honesty. "Well, at least we know where your mind's at," Shea teased, earning a playful shove from Jane.
