Chapter 1194: Guild Leaders on The Run [Part 6]
Villain Ch 1194. Guild Leaders on The Run [Part 6]
The entire group stared at him, expressions shifting from shock to disbelief, and then to pure incredulity.
Elio leaned in, his eyes wide. "Tell me you're kidding!"
Allen swept his gaze around the circle, a cringe forming on his face. "Wish I was. But you know her, right?"
Red_King let out a low whistle, shaking his head slowly. "That's… next level. She's basically stalking you. I've heard of people taking things too far in games, but this? This is insane."
Arcana grabbed Allen's shoulders tightly, his gaze intense and full of urgency. "Dude, listen to me. You need a girlfriend! A fiancee, or a wife if that's what it takes! Someone to make her back off, make her give up on you for good."
Mastercraft jumped in eagerly, his eyes lighting up. "Yeah, I can help with that! I know a few girls who'd probably be a great match for you. Tell me what you're looking for, and I'll set you up!"
Allen opened his mouth to protest, but before he could, Elio cut in, looking somewhat exasperated. "Uh… guys… he already has girlfriends."
Arcana turned to Elio, blinking in surprise. "Girlfriends? As in… plural?"
Elio nodded, a slightly amused expression crossing his face. "Yeah, multiple. I've met them a couple of times."
Father^Alex looked between Allen and Elio, clearly trying to process this. "Wait… we're talking about real girlfriends, right? Not just virtual partners in Hell's Gate?"
Elio grimaced a little, holding back a laugh. "Yes, I mean real girlfriends, not virtual ones. These are actual people, not avatars in a game."
The entire group fell silent, each of them looking at Allen with varying degrees of shock and admiration.
Mastercraft let out a low whistle, looking at Allen with newfound admiration. "So… when you said you were busy last weekend, you weren't just grinding or leveling up in-game?"
Arcana, catching on, chuckled and leaned in with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Or maybe you did mean 'grinding'… in real life." He flicked his gaze to Allen, hoping for a quick comeback to his joke.
Allen just gave him a dry, almost bored smile, the kind that seemed to say 'yup', and somehow that look only confirmed Arcana's joke. Arcana's grin faded as the realization hit him, and he slowly released his grip from Allen's shoulder.
"No way…" Arcana murmured, shaking his head in disbelief. "You're living in every guy's dream." His eyes widened, taking Allen in like he was seeing him for the first time. "Here I was, thinking you were just some lone wolf, top-tier player. Turns out, you're a freaking legend off-screen too."
Father^Alex shook his head, huffing. "And here I was, feeling sorry for you."
Allen shrugged, an unapologetic smile on his face. "I never asked for pity from anyone. That's why I don't mention this stuff. Don't need people thinking I'm some helpless guy with a trail of bad luck."
Red_King leaned forward, looking both impressed and curious. "So… let me get this straight. Sophia knows you're already in multiple relationships, and she's still trying to get back with you?"
Allen nodded, his face turning serious. "Yeah, she does. Doesn't seem to deter her at all, either."
Mastercraft leaned back, scratching his chin. "Okay, so… no offense here, just genuine curiosity. If you already have multiple relationships, why not just let her join the mix? I mean, it's not like she'd be alone in this. Why not give her a chance?"
Allen's jaw tightened, and he took a deep breath before answering. "Because I don't let people in that easily. After all the betrayals I've been through, my trust isn't something I hand out like candy. Especially not to someone like her." He shook his head, his voice firm. "Sophia? That's a big no. She doesn't care about me; she just cares about what she thinks she can get from me."
Arcana nodded, looking thoughtful. "Makes sense. I can see why you'd keep her out after everything she pulled."
Mastercraft raised an eyebrow, a glint of curiosity still in his eyes. "So, where's this gym you go to, anyway? Just curious."
Allen narrowed his eyes, giving Mastercraft a wary look. "What are you planning?"
Mastercraft chuckled, raising his hands innocently. "Hey, no plans! Just, you know… trying to imagine this whole situation. But if she's hanging around at your gym, I might just drop by to witness this soap opera firsthand."
Elio laughed, shaking his head. "Trust me, man, it's not as exciting as you think. Unless you like watching someone pretend to flirt their way back into an ex's life while he dodges her at every turn."
Father^Alex sighed, giving Allen a sympathetic smile. "You know, Al, most of us come to Hell's Gate to escape real-life drama. And here you are, living in it, both in-game and out."
Mastercraft leaned in, eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Either way, I still want to see it all. You've got to tell me where your gym is. I need to see this in action."
Elio shot Mastercraft a warning glance. "I know where it is, actually. He goes to the same gym as one of Gil's friends."
Allen's eyes widened as he turned to Elio. "If this crew shows up, it'll be a disaster."
Mastercraft grinned, unbothered by Allen's concern. "Hey, I'm an adult. I know how to behave myself. I'm not going to cause any scenes."
Red_King nodded, crossing his arms confidently. "True. We're all grown men here. It's not like we're going to march in there, making noise and calling attention to you."
Allen gave them a dubious look, the disbelief written all over his face. "We? You guys are acting like I'm inviting you to some sort of… group outing."
Mastercraft laughed, throwing his arm around Father^Alex. "Of course, we're a team! You can't separate us—the legendary trio of Mastercraft, King, and Alex."
Father^Alex looked mildly horrified. "Hey, hey, why am I suddenly part of this? I didn't sign up to become some… drama spectator."
What do you think?
