VILLAIN MMORPG: ALMIGHTY DEVIL EMPEROR AND HIS SEVEN DEMONIC WIVES
Chapter 975 - 975: Legit Information?Villain Ch 975. Legit Information?
Emma tilted her head just a bit, enough to acknowledge his question. ‘Same thing,’ she seemed to say.
Allen gave a small, almost imperceptible nod. ‘Yes, they’ve sent me an email to attend an urgent online meeting in an hour,’ his expression conveyed, a mix of frustration and resignation.
‘And what do you think about this?’ Emma’s look became more intense, her concern deepening as she focused on him.
‘About the romance one or the joining crew idea?’ Allen’s eyes narrowed slightly, indicating he was still trying to sort out his thoughts on the matter.
‘The romance one,’ Emma’s gaze was firm. ‘That joining crew thing is very difficult and could disturb the game balance. It might be tough to make that work.’
Allen frowned and hummed internally, his mind racing through the possibilities. ‘I’m not sure about that,’ he admitted through his expression. ‘But making me a romanceable character? They’d probably have to develop a sophisticated AI for that. I can’t manage interactions with that many players at once. It’s not feasible.’
Emma’s eyes softened slightly. She knew Allen’s concerns weren’t just about the technical challenges. There was something deeper—how this change might affect his character and the game world they’d come to know so well.
Azura, who had been watching the silent exchange with growing curiosity, finally spoke up. “You two seem to be having a whole conversation without saying anything. Care to fill me in?” There was a clear hint of annoyance in her tone.
Allen snapped back to the present, realizing they had been so engrossed in their wordless discussion that they’d nearly forgotten Azura was there. He cleared his throat, trying to cover the awkwardness. “Sorry about that. We were just… talking about the implications of these petitions. It’s a lot to think about, especially with how it might change the game.”
Azura raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. “Care to explain to me?” she asked, her stare flat but intense, clearly not one to be easily brushed off.
Allen and Emma exchanged another glance, the silent communication between them speaking volumes. They both knew they couldn’t let Azura in on what was really going on. This was more than just game gossip; it was a matter involving the company’s internal decisions and potentially sensitive information.
They shook their heads almost in unison. “Sorry, we can’t,” Emma said, her tone firm and unyielding. “It’s the company’s secret.”
Azura’s eyes narrowed slightly, not in anger but in calculated thought. She wasn’t one to give up easily. “Come on, it’s just us here. I promise I won’t say a word,” she tried to coax, her voice softening just enough to make it seem like a casual request. “It’s not like I’m going to run to the forums and spill the beans.”
Allen sighed internally, appreciating Azura’s persistence but knowing he couldn’t cave. This wasn’t just about keeping secrets—it was about protecting the integrity of the game and the trust that his father, the owner of Hell’s Gate, had placed in him. “Azura, it’s not about whether we trust you,” he said, choosing his words carefully. “There are just some things that we’re not allowed to talk about.
Company policy, you know?”
Emma nodded in agreement, her gaze unwavering. “It’s not personal, Azura. We just have to be careful with this kind of information. It could affect a lot of things, not just the game, but the company’s plans too.”
Azura sighed, leaning back slightly as she crossed her arms. “I get it, I really do. But you can’t blame a girl for trying, right? This whole thing with the Devil Emperor is just… so out of the blue. It’s got everyone talking, and I guess I just wanted to hear it from someone who might know a bit more.”
Allen gave her a sympathetic smile, appreciating her curiosity. “I wish we could say more, but we really can’t. It’s all still in the works, and nothing’s set in stone yet.”
Azura looked at them both for a moment, weighing their words before finally nodding. “Alright, I’ll let it go. But if there’s ever something you can share, even just a little bit, I’m willing to listen.” She offered a small smile, one that showed she wasn’t holding a grudge, but rather, was resigned to the situation.
“We’ll keep that in mind,” Emma said, a hint of relief softening her voice. She was glad that Azura seemed to understand their position and wasn’t pushing any further.
Emma turned back to Allen, her tone shifting to something more casual. “Is there anything else you want to talk about? You can come in if you want,” she offered, gesturing toward her room with a welcoming smile.

Allen hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “No, that was pretty much it. I just wanted to ask about the petitions,” he replied, his voice steady but tinged with a hint of distraction. His mind was still racing, the upcoming meeting and all the revelations he had uncovered weighing heavily on him. “I think I’m good for now.”
Azura, who had been quietly observing their exchange, tilted her head slightly. “You sure, Allen? You seem a bit… preoccupied,” she noted, her tone more curious than concerned.
Allen forced a small smile, trying to appear more relaxed than he felt. “I’m fine. Just a lot on my mind, I guess,” he said, attempting to downplay the situation.
Emma caught his eye, clearly understanding that he wasn’t ready to dive into any deeper conversations just yet. “Alright, but if you need to talk later, you know where to find us,” she said, her voice gentle but knowing.
“Thanks,” Allen said again, offering both of them a reassuring nod. “I’ll catch up with you both later.”
With that, he excused himself and turned to leave. As he walked down the hallway, the quiet of the mansion enveloped him, giving him space to think.
‘I just need to ask everything at the meeting then,’ Allen thought, his mind already shifting gears to prepare for the conversation he would soon have with the development team.
