Villain Ch 984. The End of The Meeting

Allen found himself nodding slowly. The truth of it was undeniable. His mind replayed the scene she described—the fury, the transformation, the unyielding desire to protect. It wasn’t just about rage; it was about the fierce, unbreakable bond he’d shown in that moment. His heart pounded in his chest as he realized the significance of what Kafra was saying.

It wasn’t about turning the Devil Emperor into a romantic lead—it was about deepening the emotional stakes of his character, making him even more compelling, more terrifying.

“So, what we’re really talking about,” Allen began, his voice gaining strength as he spoke, “is showing more of that side of the Devil Emperor. The side that will go to any length, no matter how brutal, to protect what’s his.” His eyes were focused now.

“Exactly,” Kafra affirmed, her smirk morphing into a genuine, approving smile. She leaned back slightly, her posture relaxing as she saw the understanding settle in. “It’s about adding layers to the character, not diluting him.

We can give players the experience they’re asking for without compromising what makes the Devil Emperor who he is.” Her voice was steady, confident, as if she were unveiling the key to a great secret. “The key is to focus on those moments of intense, almost obsessive protection and loyalty. That’s what they find ‘romantic’—not the physical affection, but the willingness to sacrifice everything.”

Vivian, who had been listening intently, nodded slowly. “That… actually makes sense,” she agreed, her voice steady but carrying a hint of newfound understanding.

“Honestly, I also find it hot,” Jane chirped, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. Her playful nature resurfaced.

“For real,” Bella added, her tone serious but laced with a touch of excitement. It was clear she was on board with the concept.

“No cap,” Alice echoed, her agreement firm as she flashed a quick smile at Allen.

Kafra, sensing that the mood had shifted, leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms with a satisfied look. “So? Do you all agree? Are you satisfied with this explanation?” she asked, her gaze sweeping over the girls.

There was a collective murmur of agreement, the earlier concerns and worries easing into acceptance. But Zoe still had a lingering question. “What if the winners are male players?” she asked, her tone tinged with concern.

Allen took the opportunity to explain, his voice calm and reassuring. “If the winners are male, they’ll join the event as my subordinates or friends. They won’t be part of any romantic subplot—this will be about them getting a unique chance to fight alongside the Devil Emperor.”

Zoe nodded, seeming to accept the answer, but Larissa still had one more concern. “One more question,” she said, her voice serious as she looked directly at Allen. “Will those winners become our members permanently?”

Martin, who had been quietly observing the conversation, decided to step in with the explanation. “No, this is just a one-time event,” he said, his voice steady and authoritative. “Recruiting new villains, especially if they are outsiders, in the middle of the game, can disrupt the balance we’ve worked so hard to maintain.

The community within the game has already formed its own dynamics and relationships. Bringing in someone new, especially someone from outside the established circles, could create friction and disrupt the flow.”

Larissa frowned slightly, processing the information. “So, they won’t stay with us after the event ends?” she asked, wanting to be sure.

Martin shook his head. “That’s correct. Once the event is over, the winners will return to their original characters and positions within the game. They won’t carry over any benefits or relationships from the event. This is to ensure that the integrity of the game’s world and its existing player dynamics are preserved.

It’s a one-time experience, designed to be exclusive and memorable, but it won’t alter the overall structure of the game.”

Kafra nodded in agreement. “Exactly. We’ve put a lot of thought into this to make sure it enhances the game rather than detracts from it. The last thing we want is to create something that could lead to problems down the line. By keeping it as a limited event, we maintain control and ensure that the core dynamics of Hell’s Gate remain intact.”

The girls seemed to relax further, understanding the careful balance that the development team was striving to maintain. Zoe, still holding onto her cushion, nodded thoughtfully. “That makes sense. As long as it doesn’t interfere with what we’ve built, I’m okay with it.”

“I’m glad we’re all on the same page,” Allen said, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. The tension in the room had finally dissipated, leaving behind a sense of resolution. “This event can be something truly special, but it’s important that it doesn’t change the foundation of what makes Hell’s Gate what it is.”

“Exactly,” Martin agreed, leaning forward slightly.

With everyone seemingly on the same page, Kafra leaned back in her chair, a playful glint in her eyes as she prepared to close the meeting. “Well, now that we’ve got everything sorted out, I think it’s safe to say that we’re all set for this event,” she began, her tone light and teasing. “Besides… Allen seems to have other plans to spend this evening.”

Allen, still feeling the residual embarrassment from the girls’ earlier entrance, managed a sheepish smile. “I didn’t exactly plan this. I mean the entrance and interruption,” he said, glancing at the girls, who were still clustered around him, their earlier confidence now replaced with a mix of embarrassment and amusement.

Kafra’s smirk widened. “Oh, I’m sure. But I have to admit, it’s not every day we get such… colorful interruptions during a meeting. You certainly know how to make an impression.”

Martin, who had been the most serious throughout the meeting, also cracked a small smile. “Just try to keep the fun to a minimum during the next meeting,” he said, his voice tinged with dry humor. “I don’t think my heart can handle another surprise like that.”
