Villain Ch 879. Big Egos Always Cause Trouble
Larissa couldn't help but notice how different Allen was behaving. When using his disguise as an assassin, Allen typically maintained a stoic demeanor, never showing his romantic side, especially in a crowded market. Yet today, he was different. Several times, he grabbed Larissa's waist, pulling her close as they navigated the throng of players and NPCs. The intimacy of the gesture, so out of character for him in such a public setting, made her heart race and her cheeks flush.
She tried to make sense of his behavior. Allen was usually so composed, his emotions carefully controlled. But now, there was a vulnerability in him, a need for connection that was rarely visible. His restlessness was palpable, as if he was battling something internal that he couldn't quite grasp or articulate.
