Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives-Chapter 796: Emma’s Wounded Pride
Villain Ch 796. Emma’s Wounded Pride
Allen cringed at Emma’s words once he realized the extent of her wounded pride. "Hey, you’re supposed to be on my side. Is that hit hurting your pride that bad?" he asked, his voice tinged with regret.
Emma’s pout deepened, her irritation evident in the furrow of her brow and the set of her jaw. "Yes!" she exclaimed irritably, her frustration spilling over. "You don’t know what it feels like when you feel all mighty, but suddenly a player manages to land a blow on you," she admitted, her tone softening as she revealed her vulnerability.
"I know it was you, still… I can’t accept it," Emma confessed, her voice trembling with emotion. "You only used your assassin skills, after all," she complained. Emma snorted, her shoulders shaking with suppressed sobs as she struggled to regain her composure. "And what makes me confused, even Larissa and Vivian let it slide," she added, her voice tinged with bitterness.
From there, Allen understood why Jordan didn’t allow Emma to become the devil emperor despite her fighting skills and chose to look for a pro player to take the role. It wasn’t just about Emma’s prowess in battle; it was about her inability to control her emotions, her tendency to look down on other players.
With her careless attitude, the devil emperor could easily lose favor among their allies and ultimately jeopardize their chances of victory.

"Okay, okay," Allen said, his voice tinged with resignation as he grappled with the realization. It was a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that his sister’s flaws could potentially cost them dearly in the game. "So what should I do to say thank you to you?" he asked, his tone laced with uncertainty.
Emma’s eyes softened at Allen’s question, a flicker of vulnerability shining through her tough exterior. Despite her spoiled tendencies and her tendency to lash out, she couldn’t deny the sincerity in Allen’s words. He may not always understand her, but he was willing to put aside their differences and express his gratitude.
For a moment, Emma hesitated, the weight of Allen’s question sinking in. But she also knew that Allen was genuine in his desire to show his appreciation, and she couldn’t bring herself to turn him away.
"I don’t know. You decide," said Emma, her lips forming a pout as she glanced away, unable to hide her frustration.
Allen pondered for a moment, his mind racing as he tried to come up with the perfect gesture to express his gratitude. Emma was born into a wealthy family, accustomed to having everything she desired within arm’s reach. The thought of finding a meaningful gift for her seemed daunting, given her ability to acquire anything she wanted with ease.
Allen’s gaze lingered on his sister. He couldn’t help but feel a pang of uncertainty. How could he possibly find something that would impress someone who seemingly had it all? But then, a flicker of inspiration sparked in his mind, and he knew he had to at least try.
Approaching Emma, Allen stopped in front of her. Emma’s heart fluttered at the sudden proximity, her annoyance fading into nervous anticipation. Enjoy more content from novelbuddy
"What do you want?" she faltered, her voice betraying her unease as she met Allen’s gaze with trepidation.
Allen leaned in closer to Emma. "How about a date?" he asked, his voice gentle and warm as he flashed her a hopeful smile.
Emma’s breath caught in her throat at Allen’s words, her heart racing as she struggled to process the unexpected request. "B-But I’m your sister," she stammered, her voice trembling with nervousness. Despite her initial shock, a small part of her couldn’t help but feel a flutter of excitement at the prospect of spending time alone with Allen.
"Siblings date, not couple date," Allen reassured her, his tone gentle as he sensed her unease. "So we’ll go together to wherever you want. How’s that sound?" he explained, his words aimed at alleviating her concerns.
Emma’s mind whirled with conflicting emotions as she tried to make sense of Allen’s proposal. Part of her felt a rush of excitement at the idea of exploring new places with her brother, while another part of her couldn’t shake the lingering discomfort of the unconventional situation.
"L-Like abroad?" she asked tentatively, her voice barely above a whisper as she dared to entertain the possibility of embarking on an adventure with Allen.
Allen shook his head, a soft smile playing at the corners of his lips as he gently brushed away Emma’s fears. "There’s no need to go abroad," he reassured her. "Maybe just to a simple place that you’ve always wanted to visit but haven’t had the chance to do so," he suggested, his words filled with sincerity.
Emma fell silent, her thoughts swirling as she processed Allen’s proposal. "That sounds nice…" she admitted quietly, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
But before Allen could respond, she added, "But I think Dad should know about this too." As the children of a billionaire, they were accustomed to a life of privilege, but with that privilege came a lack of freedom, especially when it came to matters of security.
"And we need his permission," Emma continued, her tone grim as she acknowledged the reality of their situation. Despite their desire for independence, they were still bound by the rules and regulations imposed upon them by their father’s security team.
Allen nodded, understanding the gravity of Emma’s words. "Then we can bring some bodyguards to follow us," he suggested, his mind racing as he tried to find a solution to their dilemma. "Just make sure they keep their distance," he added, knowing that their father’s security detail would insist on accompanying them wherever they went.
Emma’s expression softened slightly at Allen’s suggestion, a sense of relief washing over her as she realized that there was a way to make their plans a reality, even within the confines of their father’s strict rules.
"Sounds good," she agreed, her voice tinged with gratitude.
"Great," Allen said, a sense of determination shining in his eyes as he looked at his sister. "Just tell me where you want to go and when, okay?"
Emma nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
