Villain Ch 425. Unknown Number
Allen emerged from the portal and found himself back at the eerie entrance of the Cursed Crypts. The disembodied voice of Thera, the ghostly maid NPC, greeted him with her haunting tone. "Welcome back, Heartless Demon," she said politely.
But Allen paid her no heed. Instead, he was lost in his own thoughts, pondering the impact of his recent warning to Elio, Darren, and Liam.
He harbored no grand expectations that they would undergo an instant transformation, suddenly becoming friendly or cooperative. Allen was far too practical for that. His warning had been an act of kindness, a rare gesture on his part. He didn't anticipate any immediate changes, but he couldn't help but wonder if his words had at least sown a seed of doubt in their minds. It was a small hope, but it was there, lingering in the back of his thoughts.
