Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 688. I Have to Hide Forever?

Emma's frown deepened as she contemplated her father's decision, her skepticism evident in her furrowed brow. "Why?" she queried, her tone tinged with uncertainty as she sought clarification on Jordan's reasoning.

Jordan met Emma's gaze with a steely resolve, his expression unwavering as he prepared to justify his course of action. "Because we need to handle this situation delicately," he explained, his voice calm yet firm as he emphasized the importance of approaching the matter with caution.

Allen interjected with a pertinent question of his own. "Are you sure they won't cause any trouble?" he inquired, his brow furrowing with concern as he voiced his apprehensions.

Jordan let out a weary sigh, his features drawn with exhaustion as he grappled with the complexities of the situation. "I can't guarantee anything, but we need to take control of the narrative before things escalate," he replied, his tone tinged with a hint of resignation.

Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Jordan let out a long breath before responding. "They tried to recruit you because they thought you were just an ordinary pro player like the others. What we need to do is announce your true identity so they won't mess with you anymore," he explained, his gaze unwavering as he locked eyes with Allen.

Suddenly, Jordan's demeanor shifted, his gaze turning cold as he issued a warning. "They shouldn't mess around with my son," he stated firmly, his words laced with a hint of menace. It was clear that Jordan was not to be trifled with when it came to protecting Allen. The documents regarding Allen's status legality as his son were almost ready so it was just a matter of time.

Jordan's voice sounded like a threat, sending a shiver down Allen's spine. The intensity of his father's gaze left no room for doubt—Jordan was dead serious about protecting him, no matter the cost. As the weight of Jordan's words sank in, Allen couldn't help but marvel at the similarities between them, recognizing the same steely determination reflected in his own eyes.

Emma's silence mirrored Allen's own, her expression a mix of apprehension and awe as she absorbed their father's unwavering resolve. It was a sobering reminder of the bond they shared, forged not only by blood but by a shared sense of duty and responsibility.

'Shit... I'm really his son after all. I guess that's where I get my devilish side,' thought Allen.

Caught in the midst of his father's piercing gaze, Allen couldn't help but reflect on his own upbringing, haunted by the memory of his stepfather's disapproval and disdain. Allen's dark side always made his stepfather assume that Allen's biological father was a thug or a barbaric man. Yet, in that moment, as he stood face to face with Jordan, he felt a sense of belonging.

"I thought you would ask Brother to approach Mila and make her spill all their internals," Emma finally voiced her thoughts, breaking the tense silence that hung in the air. Her dad's rare display of his devilish side had left her rattled—Jordan didn't often reveal this facet of his personality, and when he did, it signaled that matters were grave indeed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Jordan's acknowledgment of Emma's suggestion was unexpected but not entirely surprising. "I was thinking the same thing," he admitted, his voice carrying a weight of consideration and foresight. Emma knew her dad well enough to recognize that he had weighed the consequences of each possible course of action before arriving at his decision.

"But if we took that route, it would complicate matters when it comes time to reveal Allen's true identity," he explained. His gaze bore into Allen, as if silently conveying the gravity of the situation. "Once I announced your status… they wouldn't hesitate to announce that you had been spying on them. They will use it to turn against us."

Allen nodded in understanding, acknowledging the wisdom in Jordan's reasoning. The implications of publicly announcing his status as Jordan's son were significant, and any misstep could have far-reaching consequences. "You have a point there," Allen conceded, his voice tinged with a hint of resignation.

It was clear that Jordan had carefully considered the potential repercussions of their actions, and Allen trusted his father's judgment implicitly.

Jordan turned to Allen, his expression serious yet reassuring. "So I hope that even though you can play as a player, just keep your character away from any events," he emphasized, his tone carrying a note of caution. "Keep everything like this," he continued, gesturing to the current situation. "Make it seem like you're just playing for fun," he reminded Allen once again.

Allen met Jordan's gaze with a firm nod, understanding the importance of discretion in their current circumstances. He recognized the need to maintain a low profile, especially given the delicate nature of their plans. "Yeah, I got it," he affirmed, his voice reflecting his determination to comply with Jordan's instructions. Allen knew that standing out as a player could attract unwanted attention.

"Do you think announcing Allen's identity will create speculation that he is the devil emperor?" Emma's question hung in the air, a valid concern swirling in her mind.

Jordan pondered for a moment before responding, his expression thoughtful. "It could be," he admitted, acknowledging the potential for speculation and rumors. "That's why I will occasionally let Allen meet the devil emperor," he revealed, his tone decisive. "Outside of the events, of course," he added, emphasizing the need for discretion.

Emma nodded, understanding the rationale behind Jordan's plan. "Or I could also order them to use the A.I to control the devil emperor when Allen attends an event. And I will make sure the event will be filled with reporters," Jordan continued, outlining a strategic approach to mitigate any potential risks.

Listening intently, Allen processed Jordan's words, his mind racing with questions and considerations. "So I have to hide forever? No one will know I'm the one behind the emperor," he sought clarification, his voice tinged with uncertainty. Well, that was in the contract from the beginning. But since he was part of the Goldborne family now, he decided to make sure.
