Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 810. Shady Informant

“Oh,” Allen replied flatly, trying to keep his face neutral. The news wasn’t exactly a surprise to him since he was the devil emperor in the game. He glanced at Emma, who gave him a sharp, knowing stare, and immediately realized he needed to put on a better act.

Turning back to Azura, Allen adopted a more animated expression. “Whoa, really? I’m shocked. I never would’ve guessed that. Where exactly did they find it? Why didn’t we find the emperor before?” he added, piling on a string of questions to emphasize his supposed curiosity. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

His voice carried a note of urgency, making it clear he was deeply interested.

Azura’s face lit up with excitement at his reaction. “There was a secret entrance in the forest last time. We must have missed it somehow,” she explained, her words tumbling out quickly in her eagerness to share the news.

Allen nodded, feigning surprise and intrigue. “A secret entrance, huh? That’s wild. I wonder how we overlooked it. We’ve been through that area,” he said, injecting a note of disbelief into his voice.

Azura nodded vigorously. “Yeah, it’s crazy to think about. We’ve hunted there, and we never even noticed,” she said, her tone skeptical yet intrigued. “But it makes sense if it’s really well hidden. The emperor wouldn’t want just anyone stumbling upon his lair. But I don’t get how the informant did it,” she reasoned, her eyes shining with the thrill of discovery.

“Informant?” Allen asked, injecting as much confusion into his tone as he could muster. He furrowed his brow, trying to look genuinely puzzled. “So he’s not fighting the puppeteer at all?” he added, deepening his frown for effect.

Azura nodded eagerly, her enthusiasm evident. “Yes, that’s all from the informant. He just gives snippets of information and only reveals the exact location to players who pay him. But he can guarantee it’s legit since he posted all the footage and everything on the forum,” she explained, her voice animated.

Allen tilted his head, pretending to be intrigued. “So he managed to slip past the mini-boss without a fight?” he asked, trying to sound impressed while feeling a twinge of annoyance at the informant’s audacity.

Azura’s expression turned sour, clearly frustrated by the informant’s tactics. “Yeah, that shady guy didn’t fight the puppeteer at all. He just bypassed the mini-boss and went straight to where the emperor was hiding,” she said, her tone tinged with annoyance. “It’s so unfair. We’ve been grinding and battling through those tough spots while he just sneaks through and makes a fortune off it.”

Allen feigned surprise and a bit of indignation. “That’s seriously messed up. All that effort we put into clearing those areas, and he just waltzes through? Not cool,” he said, shaking his head.

Azura sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. “I know, right? It feels like cheating. But the footage he posted is real, and it’s definitely near that cemetery,” she said, her frustration palpable.

“Oh, so it was somewhere in that cemetery and not in the haunted forest?” Allen asked again, keeping his tone casual despite his lack of genuine interest. He knew he had to keep up appearances, especially with how invested Azura and the others were in this new development.

“Yes,” Azura asserted, a frown creasing her forehead as she stared at Allen. “Haven’t you checked the thread at all?” she asked, her voice tinged with surprise and a hint of accusation. “I thought you went back to your room to check the gaming forum. The thread about you, us, it’s everywhere.

It blew up like crazy!” Azura’s excitement bubbled over, a rare display from someone who usually maintained a cool and composed demeanor.

“Us?” Emma echoed, her curiosity piqued as she glanced at Azura.

Azura turned to Emma and gave her a flat stare. “Yes, us, Miss Game Owner’s Daughter,” she said, her tone slightly mocking but mostly teasing. “The footage shows me and Allen. And thousands of comments appeared just to cheer us up,” she claimed, her voice carrying a mix of annoyance and pride.

Allen blinked. “Wait, what? Thousands of comments?” he asked. He knew they had made some waves, but this was beyond his expectations.

Azura nodded vigorously. “Yeah, it’s all over the place. People are talking about how we handled the emperor, speculating about our strategies, and even shipping us,” she said, rolling her eyes at the last part. “Some of the comments are really supportive, but others… Well, they’re just weird.”

Emma rolled her eyes, her irritation palpable even without words. “Shipping you and Allen? That’s hilarious,” she said with a chuckle. “People can get so carried away.”

Allen could tell she was holding back a flood of words, especially with Azura so eager to dive into game talk. But given Emma’s position, she had to be extra cautious about discussing anything game-related. He knew he needed to change the subject before things got too tense.

“Okay, let’s talk about something else, shall we?” Allen said, deciding to avoid the ticking time bomb that was Azura’s excitement and Emma’s potential for a slip-up.

“Like the next event? Or maybe good gear for the assassin class?” Azura asked, her eyes lighting up as she turned to Allen. “Or maybe what class should we choose next? I’m still in a dilemma,” she added, her enthusiasm palpable.

Allen chuckled awkwardly, raising both hands slightly in a gesture of surrender. “I mean something outside the game,” he clarified, his tone gentle but firm. He glanced at Emma, who gave him a small, appreciative nod. He knew she was grateful for his attempt to steer the conversation to safer waters.

Azura paused, clearly caught off guard. She hummed thoughtfully, her fingers tapping the table as she searched for a topic. After a moment, her eyes lit up again with a new idea. “Then what about your personal life, Allen?” she suggested, leaning forward with genuine curiosity.

Allen blinked, surprised by the question. “My personal life?” he echoed, buying himself a moment to think.
