Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives Chapter 1351: You Think You Can Drag Us Down With You?

Villain Ch 1351. You Think You Can Drag Us Down With You?

Sophia sat in the corner of the bustling café, her arms crossed as she glared at Darren and Liam. Both n looked agitated, their body language tense as they settled into their seats across from her. The coffee they ordered remained untouched, the atmosphere thick with unspoken accusations.

"You're late," Sophia snapped, breaking the silence.

Darren leaned forward, his expression hard. "You texted us in the middle of the workday, Sophia. What's so urgent that it couldn't wait?"

Sophia smirked coldly, leaning back in her chair. "Oh, you know, just the little matter of you two spilling our secrets to Jas and Noah."

Liam's brow furrowed, and he shook his head. "What are you even talking about? We didn't tell them anything," he denied.

Sophia scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Right. So they just magically knew about things they shouldn't have? Don't play dumb with ."

Darren's jaw tightened. "We're not playing dumb. We didn't say a word to them."

Sophia slamd her palm against the table, her voice rising slightly. "Don't lie to ! If I find out you've been running your mouths—" She paused, lowering her voice but not her intensity. "—you know what I can do with this." She pulled out her phone and tapped the screen, showing a video file. The title alone made Darren and Liam pale.

"You wouldn't," Darren muttered, his voice low but laced with anger.

"Wouldn't I?" Sophia countered, her smirk growing. "I'm tired of being the one everyone underestimates. Maybe a little reminder is what you two need."

Liam clenched his fists, his voice shaking with controlled frustration. "We did it with consent, Sophia. You're twisting the facts. That video—"

Sophia cut him off with a laugh, cold and sharp. "Facts are irrelevant when it cos to public perception. You think people will side with you? Over ? Please."

Darren took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. "This isn't about that, is it? This is about Allen."

Sophia froze for a mont, her expression darkening. "What about Allen?"

Darren exchanged a glance with Liam before answering. "We saw the news. About him being a Goldborne. Is that what this is really about? Are you mad because he's doing better than you now?"

Sophia's eyes narrowed, her voice a deadly whisper. "Don't you dare bring him into this."

Liam, emboldened by Darren's words, leaned forward. "It's true, isn't it? You're throwing all this at us because you can't touch him anymore. So you're taking your anger out on us."

Sophia's hand trembled as she gripped her coffee cup, her knuckles white. "You think you're so clever, don't you? Blaming when you're the ones who can't keep your mouths shut."

Darren shook his head. "We didn't say a thing, Sophia. If you're paranoid about Jas and Noah knowing sothing, maybe you should look at soone else. Because it wasn't us."

Sophia's lips curled into a sneer, but she didn't respond imdiately. Instead, she took a long sip of her coffee, her mind racing. Were they telling the truth? She didn't trust them, but their reactions seed genuine.

Liam crossed his arms, his voice calr but no less firm. "You're digging yourself into a hole. If you keep threatening people, it's going to backfire."

Sophia raised an eyebrow, her tone mocking. "Oh, is that a warning? How noble of you."

Darren leaned forward, his gaze piercing. "No, it's a fact. You're so focused on control that you're not seeing the bigger picture. People are catching on to your gas, Sophia. You're running out of ti."

Sophia stared at him, her smirk faltering for just a mont. "Rember—if I go down, I'm taking you with ."

Liam and Darren exchanged a glance. Darren's hands rested on the table, his knuckles tight against the surface. His calm expression barely hid the tension building beneath. Liam, on the other hand, leaned back in his chair, his usual fiery temper seemingly extinguished. It wasn't resignation—it was sothing colder, more calculated.

"That's ridiculous," Darren finally said, his voice asured, but the sharp edge was unmistakable. "Why do you think you can drag us down with you?"

Sophia raised an eyebrow, taking a long, deliberate sip of her coffee. "Because I can. And you know it."

Liam exhaled heavily, the sound almost resigned. "You're really pushing it, Sophia. This is getting old."

Sophia tilted her head, her eyes narrowing. "Tired already, Liam? I thought you had more fight in you. You're nothing but a couple of cowards, always waiting for to clean up your ss."

Liam didn't respond imdiately. He exchanged another glance with Darren, who gave the slightest nod. It was subtle, but the aning was clear—they were on the sa page. They would initiate their plan and record all of this!

Liam chuckled, low and bitter. "You know what, Sophia? You're right. You've always been right. We're the cowards, and you're the genius who keeps everything together."

Sophia's smirk widened, her confidence bolstered by his words. "Finally, so honesty. Took you long enough."

Darren leaned forward, his tone calm but laced with an undercurrent of exhaustion. "We just want to make sure we're all clear here, Sophia. You're calling the shots, right? Everything that's happened—every decision—it's all on you."

Sophia's eyes glead, misinterpreting his tone as submission. "Exactly. Glad you're finally catching on."

Liam leaned forward slightly, a faux look of defeat on his face. "So, just to be clear… if anyone were to find out about all this, it wouldn't be us to bla, right? It's all you. You're the mastermind."

Sophia laughed, a sharp, cold sound. "Of course. That's what I've been saying. You're just following orders. If anyone has a problem with it, they can take it up with ."

Darren nodded slowly, pulling his phone slightly closer on the table, the screen dark. They needed to get her clear voice. "Good to know. But why go to such lengths, Sophia? Why not just let it go?"

Her smirk returned, sharp as a blade. "Because letting go is for weaklings. I've worked too hard to let soone like Allen or you two idiots ruin everything I've built."
