Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives-Chapter 824: A Deal is A Deal

Villain Ch 824. A Deal is A Deal

Allen looked forward, trying to enjoy the ride despite the unusual circumstances. ’Let’s just pretend this is normal, Allen,’ he thought, attempting to calm himself. He had always been the type who enjoyed a lone ride on his motorbike, relishing the freedom and solitude it provided. Suddenly being followed by so many people felt stifling and uncomfortable.

Once again, he glanced at Emma, who was scrolling through her phone with a relaxed expression, seemingly unbothered by the entourage. Azura, sitting next to him, was similarly engrossed in her own world, occasionally looking out the window. Allen envied their ability to take this in stride.

So… he tried to distract himself by focusing on the scenery outside. The city streets buzzed with life, people going about their day. The buildings gradually gave way to more open spaces, hinting at their approach to the beach. The transition was smooth, and Allen had to admit that traveling in a luxury car like this was different from his usual experiences.

There were no vibrations, no discomfort—just a seamless journey.

Despite his efforts to normalize the situation, the feeling of being watched and guarded lingered. He felt like he was in a bubble. It was a stark contrast to the freedom he used to cherish on his motorbike, where he could go anywhere without anyone tracking his every move. Especially... The wind.

For the rest of the trip, Allen remained mostly silent, occasionally nodding to himself as he observed the passing views.

Emma seemed to notice his introspective mood. "You okay, Allen?" she asked, her voice soft and concerned.

Allen turned to her, managing a small smile. "Yeah, I’m fine. Just... getting used to all this."

Emma nodded understandingly. "It can be a lot at first. But trust me, you’ll get the hang of it."

Azura chimed in, her voice light and encouraging. "Exactly. It’s just a bit of culture shock."

Allen chuckled softly, appreciating their attempts to lift his spirits. "Yeah, you’re right."

A few minutes later, they arrived at the beach. As Allen had expected, the beach was empty. The only sounds were the gentle waves lapping at the shore and the distant call of seagulls. The emptiness of the beach should have been a welcome sight, but it was offset by the sight of the bodyguards stepping out of their cars, moving with the efficiency and seriousness of government agents on a mission.

Allen, Azura, and Emma got out of their car. Allen let out a long exhale, feeling a sense of anticlimax. The excitement he usually felt when arriving at the beach was dampened by the presence of so many people. The bodyguards formed a discreet perimeter, their eyes scanning the surroundings, ready to spring into action at any moment. It felt more like a covert operation than a casual beach outing.

Allen’s eyes swept around, looking for interesting objects to photograph, but his heart wasn’t in it. The beach, usually a source of inspiration and tranquility, felt different today. His mood was off, and it was hard to shake the feeling of being watched, even if it was for his own safety.

Beside him, Emma took out her camera with excitement, posing and looking for interesting objects left and right as if she was a professional photographer. She moved with enthusiasm, but her energy seemed misplaced. After a few minutes of snapping aimlessly, she lowered her camera and pouted.

"Why isn’t this place as beautiful as the one in the photo?" Emma grumbled, her disappointment evident.

Azura glanced at her, trying to offer an explanation. "Maybe it had something to do with the mood and vibe he caught at that time," she guessed, her tone thoughtful.

Emma huffed, crossing her arms. "So we have to break his heart to get the same photo?" she said in a nonchalant voice.

Allen shot her a flat stare, the word "Seriously?" clearly written all over his face. He couldn’t believe she would joke about something like that, especially considering the memories attached to those photos.

Emma quickly raised her hands in a placating gesture. "Relax. I’m just kidding," she said, trying to diffuse the tension.

Allen sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It was sunset when I took the photo, and it’s still morning now. Of course, it feels different. Sunset always has a melancholy vibe since the light is fading," he reminded them, his voice tinged with a bit of nostalgia.

"Ugh... sounds like a sad boy quote," Emma said in a nonchalant tone, rolling her eyes.

Allen gave her a flat stare again. "I was," he said, a hint of annoyance creeping into his voice. The memories of that time were still raw, and Emma’s casual dismissal grated on him.

Emma smirked, unfazed by his irritation. She approached him and leaned in, whispering, "You better cut out your attitude, brother. This trip is your payment for what I did yesterday, remember?"

Allen pressed his lips together, frustration bubbling up inside him. But she was right. Emma had done him a huge favor yesterday, and he had promised to go along with her plans today. A promise was a promise, no matter how inconvenient it felt at the moment.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to let go of his irritation. "Yeah, I remember," he muttered. "A deal’s a deal."

Emma smiled triumphantly and patted his shoulder. "Good. Now, let’s try to make the best of this, okay?"

Azura, who didn’t know the deal between them, stepped in. "Why don’t we take some shots by the water? The light might not be the same, but we can still capture some great moments."

Allen nodded, appreciating her effort to keep things moving. "Yeah, that sounds good. Let’s see what we can find."

They walked towards the shoreline, the bodyguards maintaining a respectful distance.

At last, they managed to find one or two interesting spots along the beach that caught Emma and Azura’s attention. There was an old, weathered pier jutting out into the water and a cluster of uniquely shaped rocks partially submerged by the tide. They eagerly positioned themselves and started snapping photos, hoping to capture the beauty and uniqueness of these scenes.

However, when they reviewed the photos, the results were disappointing. The images didn’t seem to capture the magic they had seen with their eyes. Emma grumbled, her frustration evident. "Why aren’t these turning out the way I imagined?"
