Villain Ch 700. You Don't Look Okay to Me
Elio hesitated for a moment, his steps faltering as he heard Allen's voice. A weary sigh escaped his lips, carrying with it a sense of resignation. He couldn't shake off the feeling that Allen had been right all along. But now, faced with the opportunity to confide in him, doubts clouded Elio's mind. Would Allen mock him if he revealed the truth about what had transpired between him and Sophia?
Could opening up to Allen really provide any solace for the turmoil raging within him?
Caught in this internal struggle, Elio found himself at a loss for words. What could he possibly say to Allen, especially after the tension that had simmered between them in the past? The weight of uncertainty pressed down on him, making it difficult to find the right words to express his emotions.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Elio's forced smile did little to mask the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. Despite his attempt to put up a front, the weariness etched in his features spoke volumes. Allen couldn't help but notice the heavy weight that seemed to burden Elio's spirit, casting a shadow over his usual demeanor.
"You don't look okay to me," Allen remarked, his concern evident in his furrowed brow. The sight of Elio, who typically exuded confidence and vitality, now appearing worn down and defeated, unsettled him.
Elio shrugged nonchalantly, though the gesture lacked conviction. "Just one of those days, you know? Nothing important," he offered, his attempt at casualness falling flat in the face of Allen's perceptiveness.
"Really?" asked Allen, his expression remained skeptical.
Elio pressed his lips together, contemplating his response. For a moment, he debated whether to confide in Allen. But something in Allen's demeanor, perhaps the genuine concern shining in his eyes, prompted Elio to speak his truth.
"I have some trouble in my head," Elio finally confessed, his voice tinged with vulnerability.
Allen nodded, acknowledging Elio's admission. He could sense the gravity of the situation, recognizing that whatever plagued Elio was weighing heavily on his mind.
Elio nodded grimly, confirming Allen's suspicions. The memory of the event still lingered vividly in his mind, a proof of the frustrations and challenges he had faced. Despite his best efforts to lead his guildmates to victory, Sophia's self-serving actions had undermined their chances at success.
"Yeah, it's about that," Elio replied, his voice heavy with disappointment. He couldn't shake the annoyance in him.
Allen nodded in understanding, his expression sympathetic. "It must have been frustrating to have someone like Sophia undermining your efforts."
Elio let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Exactly. I've tried to talk to her about it, but she just doesn't seem to get it. It's like she's more focused on her own agenda than on the guild's well-being."
"Yeah, I get what you mean," Allen agreed, recalling similar encounters with self-centered players in the past. "It's tough when you're trying to lead a team and someone isn't pulling their weight."
"Tell me about it," Elio muttered, his expression tense with frustration. "I'm just worried that if things keep going this way, it'll end up hurting the guild in the long run."
Allen nodded in agreement. "Have you thought about talking to the other guild leaders about it? Maybe they can offer some advice or support."
Elio considered Allen's suggestion, his brow furrowed in thought. "Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I'll definitely consider it."
"Good," Allen said, offering Elio a reassuring smile.
Elio nodded, a sense of gratitude warming his heart. "Thanks, Allen. I appreciate it."
"No problem," Allen replied.
