Chapter 702 Karma
Villain Ch 702. Karma
Allen watched as Elio's figure disappeared into the distance, his thoughts swirling with a mix of emotions. There was a sense of relief that the conversation had ended without any further confrontation, but also a lingering feeling of unease at the unresolved tension between them.
He reflected on the encounter and couldn't shake the feeling of detachment that washed over him. He had expected to feel a surge of empathy for Elio, given their shared experiences with manipulation and betrayal. But instead, he found himself feeling strangely indifferent, as if he had already expended his quota of sympathy for the day. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
Deep down, Allen knew that Elio's realization of his mistake was a positive step forward. It signaled a glimmer of hope that perhaps Elio would learn from his experience and emerge stronger on the other side. Yet, there was also a lingering sense of resentment lingering in the back of his mind, a reminder of the hurtful accusations that Elio had hurled his way in the past.
He muttered, "I wonder if this is karma..." Was this the universe's way of balancing the scales, of giving Elio a taste of the same pain and betrayal that Allen had endured? It was a sobering thought.
With a deep breath, Allen raised his camera once again, the familiar weight of the device grounding him in the present moment. He focused his lens on the picturesque scenery before him, capturing the serene beauty of the beach and the gentle sway of the palm trees against the backdrop of the clear blue sky.
After he snapped a few shots, Allen couldn't help but feel a sense of calm wash over him. Photography had always been his solace, a way to escape the chaos of the world and lose himself in the simple act of capturing fleeting moments of beauty.
Closing his eyes for a brief moment, Allen allowed himself to bask in the warmth of the sun and the soothing caress of the ocean breeze. It was a sensation that never failed to comfort him, reminding him of simpler times and happier memories from his childhood.
Despite his best efforts to push aside the bitter taste of betrayal that lingered in his mouth, Allen found himself unable to shake off the lingering sense of unease. The echoes of Elio's confession still reverberated in his mind, casting a shadow over the tranquility of the moment.
Nevertheless, Allen was determined not to let his emotions get the better of him. With a resolute nod, he packed up his camera and prepared to move on to the next location. He knew that dwelling on the past would only hold him back, and he was eager to explore new vistas and create new memories with his trusty camera by his side.
Taking one last look at the breathtaking scenery before him, Allen allowed himself to linger in the moment for just a little while longer, savoring the fleeting sense of peace that enveloped him. Then he set off.
Once again, Allen revved up his motorcycle, the familiar hum of the engine beneath him filled him with a sense of exhilaration. He navigated through the bustling streets of the city, weaving effortlessly between cars and pedestrians as he made his way to his favorite spots.
First, he stopped by the local coffee shop, where he indulged in a steaming cup of his favorite brew and exchanged pleasantries with the barista. Next, he swung by the quaint bookstore nestled in the heart of the city, browsing the shelves for the latest releases and hidden gems.
After exploring a few more of his favorite haunts, Allen found himself drawn to the train station. It was a place he had always been inexplicably drawn to, with its bustling crowds and promise of adventure beyond the city limits.
Allen made his way into the station, the familiar hustle and bustle of travelers filling the area. He took some shots of the crowd at the station, capturing the bustling energy and movement of people coming and going. The click of his camera shutter filled the air as he framed each shot, trying to capture the essence of the moment.
This place used to be one of his favorite spots to snap some photos, besides the beach, of course. 'Why do I end up here again?' he thought in confusion. Still, he shrugged it off and focused on getting the perfect shot, the mystery of his presence in that familiar place lingering in the back of his mind.
The station was abuzz with activity, bustling with people coming and going. Streams of commuters flowed in and out of the entrance, suggesting that several trains had just arrived. Allen raised his camera, aiming to capture the essence of the crowded scene.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As he scanned the bustling crowd through the lens, his attention was suddenly captivated by a familiar face. Despite never having met her in person, he instantly recognized her from the countless streams he had watched online. There she was, walking amidst the sea of commuters, her presence seemingly lighting up the busy station.
Allen's heart skipped a beat as he focused his lens on her. He couldn't contain his surprise as the words slipped out of his mouth. "VirtualValkyrie?" he exclaimed, almost involuntarily.
Azura's expression shifted abruptly as Allen's voice reached her ears. Surprise flickered across her features, evident in the widening of her eyes and the slight parting of her lips. She hadn't anticipated running into anyone she knew, let alone Allen, just as she stepped out of the station. It was a stroke of unexpected coincidence, catching her off guard.
Turning towards Allen, Azura's eyes met his with a mix of disbelief and curiosity. She hadn't expected to encounter someone familiar in this bustling environment, especially not so soon after her arrival. Her initial plans to inform Emma of her presence had been disrupted by the sudden encounter, leaving her momentarily flustered.
Azura's mind raced as she tried to process the situation. She hadn't even had the chance to retrieve her phone from her bag to send Emma a quick message about her arrival. The spontaneity of her decision to visit had left her unprepared for such encounters, and now, facing Allen unexpectedly, she struggled to find her bearings amidst the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts swirling within her.
"Godlike?" Azura called out his name in a disbelieving tone, her eyebrows shooting up in surprise. There was no mistaking that face. She hadn't expected to run into him here, of all places. And what caught her off guard even more was how refined he appeared now.
