Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives

Villain Ch 1645. The Big Storm [Part 1]

Urban Enigma’s headquarters wasn’t a building today.

It was a storm.

Exactly as Allen predicted.

Not lightning.

Not wind.

But a pressure in the air—thick, heavy, and sharp.

Behind closed glass doors, inside Mr. Bell’s private office, that pressure was tightening like a noose.

The windows faced the skyline, but no one cared about the view.

Mr. Bell sat behind his thick, blackened oak desk. His fingers were laced together, knuckles pale, jaw locked in controlled fury.

Two attorneys sat on either side of him—both hired by Liam, Darren and Mr.Bell himself. They weren’t cheap attorneys. They were the kind of lawyers who made careers destroying reputations behind the safety of sealed conference rooms.

Sophia sat across from them.

Her arms crossed. Her shoulders pulled tight. Her mouth pressed into a thin, bitter line.

But her eyes…

Her eyes were defiant.

And beside her sat Liam and Darren.

They weren’t smiling today.

Not like they used to.

No arrogance now. No lazy indifference.

They stared at her with flat, tired eyes.

Like men who were fed up.

Like men who’d finally realized they’d been dancing with a viper who thought she was always the one holding the fang.

The silence was heavy until Attorney Raines—the younger of the two—opened his folder and broke it. His voice was calm. Too calm.

“Ms. Sophia. You’ve made certain statements, which we’ve now documented.”

Sophia leaned back. “Statements? You mean, my truth.”

The older attorney, Mr. Corwin, spoke next—voice heavy, slow, and dangerous. “Truth is an interesting word.”

Sophia narrowed her eyes. “You act like I’m the criminal here.”

Attorney Raines adjusted his glasses. “And yet, Ms. Sophia, based on the last voice recording that Darren and Liam have provided, you clearly used prior allegations to blackmail them into continued financial obligations and career favors.”

Sophia’s lips twitched. “That recording doesn’t tell the full story.”

“It tells enough,” Mr. Corwin said. “In your own words, you stated—and I quote: ‘If you don’t cooperate, I’ll let everyone know how you forced me. No one will question me. I have the recordings. I have your chats. And you know what that’ll do to your careers and your lives.'”

The room thickened as the words played out like a hammer strike.

Sophia’s jaw tightened.

“I was pressured into those things from the start! Don’t turn this on me.” She gestured sharply at Darren and Liam. “They’re the ones who took advantage of me! I didn’t ask for any of this. You want to act like I’m some manipulator? I was the victim first.”

Her voice cracked there, and for a moment, she let the tremble into her throat. The familiar weapon.

Pity.

Innocence.

The poor girl trapped by men more powerful than her.

But the attorneys didn’t soften.

Attorney Raines tapped his notes calmly. “We’ve reviewed the timeline. And yes, while the initial allegations were serious, none were brought to law enforcement. Instead, you maintained private leverage over both parties, using implied threats to secure money, gifts, and professional favors.”

Mr. Corwin picked up, seamless. “You used their silence to elevate your own position in the agency. Contracts were secured. Also, you use them to get closer to the Goldborne family.”

Sophia’s eyes snapped toward Mr. Bell. “And you?”

Mr. Bell’s lips barely moved. “What about me?”

“You want to pretend like you’re clean?” she hissed, her voice rising with bitter rage. “You know damn well what this will do to Urban Enigma. To your career. If this explodes, the whole agency burns — your name goes down with it, not just mine.”

She pointed sharply, eyes flashing. “Why are you protecting them? And now you’re dragging them into this?”

Corwin’s tone sharpened. “Which brings us to your own dealings with Mr. Bell.” He flipped a file open. “Your messages, Sophia. We have the full logs. Your texts include flirtations, suggestive comments, and—more importantly—thinly veiled threats against his family stability. Against his wife.”

Sophia’s mask cracked for a second. A flash of teeth, a hint of rage beneath her breathy voice. “Oh, don’t give me that. You’re acting like I had real power over him. Over any of you.” She threw her arms up. “Seriously? You want to sit here and act like I orchestrated all this?”

“No one’s acting, Sophia,” Darren finally spoke. His voice was low. Not angry. Just tired. “You did orchestrate it.”

Liam added, voice flat, “You pushed. You lied. You used everything we did to build leverage.”

“I was forced into survival!” she snapped. “You think I planned this from the start? I was alone. I had no family backing me, no money. You think I could’ve said no back then?”

Attorney Raines nodded slightly. “We acknowledge the original situation was highly complicated. But blackmail, ongoing coercion, and misuse of that leverage afterward—that’s where the law draws its line.”

“And you broke it,” Mr. Corwin finished coldly. “Repeatedly.”

Sophia’s eyes darted between them. The noose tightened around her throat with every passing second.

They were cornering her perfectly.

Systematically.

Liam. Darren. Mr. Bell.

All once tangled in her games.

Now standing together, feeding her to the fire she once controlled.

Her voice dropped lower, shaking but sharp. “So what? You want to burn me now? Really? After all we’ve been through?”

She pointed toward all of them, finger shaking.

“Seriously? You guys want to do this? I can escalate this into something far worse, you know that. I have nothing to lose!”

Her voice broke higher. “If I lost my reputation, so be it. I’m nothing. But you? You three still have your careers, your families, your positions. You really think you’re safe?”

The room stilled.

Her breathing turned heavier.

“This isn’t fair.”

Silence.

No sympathy came.

Because even she knew—

Deep down—

This time, she was losing control.

And somewhere behind all of it, she felt it—

The weight of the game master pulling every string behind the curtain.

The one who wasn’t even in the room.

Allen.

The one who made sure her carefully constructed kingdom would collapse without even touching her.

The storm had arrived.

And it was devouring her whole.
