Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 996. Is He Finally Giving In? Allen turned to Bella and gave her a small, knowing smile. "With the way you girls look tonight, what kind of 'weird' thing do you think I'm feeling?" His tone was laced with sarcasm. It was a subtle challenge that conveyed both his awareness of their game and his determination to maintain control. Bella's smirk widened, clearly enjoying the back-and-forth. "I don't know," she teased, her voice dripping with playful provocation. "Why don't you explain it to me?" She leaned in closer, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she challenged him to reveal more, to admit just how much they were affecting him. Allen took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm despite the growing tension between them. "I don't think I need to explain it," he replied, this time using a more indifferent tone as if he didn't want to waste his breath on something so obvious. He hoped the casual dismissal would throw her off, or at least make her second-guess her approach. Without giving Bella a chance to respond, Allen picked up his fork and took another bite of pasta. But this time, he deliberately allowed a bit of the creamy sauce to drip onto his t-shirt. He glanced down at the stain, feigning annoyance. "Oh, crap," he muttered, grabbing a napkin to wipe it off. He dabbed at the sauce, but the stain remained stubbornly on the fabric. "I guess I need to change," Allen announced, his tone casual but his actions deliberate. He stood up and, with a smooth motion, pulled off his t-shirt, revealing his toned torso. He knew exactly what he was doing—this wasn't just about cleaning up a mess. As he removed his shirt, he carefully placed it over the dessert box, subtly covering it without drawing attention. The girls, who had been watching him intently, were momentarily taken aback by his sudden display of skin. Their eyes widened, and Allen could see the faint blush that colored their cheeks. It was clear they hadn't expected him to take things in this direction, and for a moment, they seemed unsure how to respond. Bella's breath hitched slightly as she took in the sight of Allen's bare chest. Her usual confidence faltered, replaced by a mix of surprise and excitement. 'Is he finally giving in?' she wondered, her mind racing as she tried to interpret his actions. She had been waiting for a clear sign that their plan was working, that the Love Chocolate and their teasing had pushed him over the edge. Seeing him take off his shirt, combined with the blush on his face, made her think that perhaps they had succeeded. Vivian, who had been quietly observing the exchange, felt a flutter of excitement in her chest. She wasn't used to seeing Allen this way—vulnerable, exposed, and seemingly on the brink of losing control. It was a side of him she rarely got to witness, and the thought that their plan might be working, that he was finally starting to feel the full effects of their teasing and the Love Chocolate, sent a thrill through her. Vivian exchanged a quick glance with the other girls, each of them sharing a similar look of surprise and excitement. Allen's unexpected move had thrown them off their game for a moment. They had all been preparing to make their next move, ready to press Allen further, but the sound of a knock on the door interrupted their thoughts. - Knock - Knock - Knock Allen's head snapped toward the door, his expression quickly morphing into one of casual relief. "That must be Kai," he said, his voice calm but with a note of urgency that didn't escape the girls. His hand moved quickly to retrieve his dirty t-shirt along with the dessert box below it. He covered it skillfully, ensuring that none of the girls could see what he was doing. "I'll get it. Don't go anywhere or try to peek, okay?" he said, his tone light but carrying an underlying command that made the girls hesitate. There was something in his voice that suggested he was back in control, and they weren't sure how to feel about that. "But Allen…" Bella began, her voice trailing off as she watched him move toward the door. Allen paused and turned back to them, his expression softening slightly as he addressed them. "I don't want Kai or anyone else to see you like this," he said, his tone gentle but firm. He was right—their lingerie, while beautiful and alluring, was not something they wanted anyone else to see. The intimacy of their attire was meant only for Allen, and the thought of anyone else catching even a glimpse made them feel exposed in a way they hadn't anticipated. The girls exchanged uncertain looks. They had been so focused on their plan, so intent on making Allen submit to their teasing, that they hadn't considered the practicalities of the situation. Without a word, Allen quickly made his way to the door, his mind racing with his plan. He unlocked it and slipped out, careful not to open it too wide—just enough to let himself out without giving the girls a chance to see what was happening outside. As he closed the door behind him, he was met with the surprised face of Kai, who was about to greet him. "Good even—" Kai began, but his words faltered as he took in Allen's appearance. The sight of the shirtless young master with a clearly flushed face immediately triggered his concern. "What happened to you, sir?" he asked, his voice laced with worry. Allen shook his head, holding up a hand to forestall any further questions. "I can't explain right now. Also, lower your voice," he said quickly, thrusting his dirty t-shirt into Kai's hands and placing the dessert box on the food trolley. His movements were swift and precise as he grabbed the chocolate bonbon, setting them on a plate. Without wasting any time, Allen grabbed a fork and began to crush the chocolates from the box into small pieces, randomly mashing them with quick, almost frantic motions. The chocolates, which had been meticulously crafted earlier in the evening, were now being ruthlessly disassembled. Once he had broken them down, he carefully inserted the crushed pieces into the eclairs, mixing them with the filling inside.
