Villain Retirement

Chapter 1136: With You

"Why… why would you even save me!? Just… just let me be… Riley, let me be in peace!"

V's screams once again resounded through the air – but this time, no longer throughout the entire planet, but only across the large peristyle where her large throne stood. There were hundreds and hundreds of people still here, all looking at her and watching her break down…

…but she did not care at all. She did not care at all that the people who worshipped her for more than a hundred years were looking at her like she was some sort of broken tool – their eyes, showing nothing but pity, disappointment, anger, and frustration as they watched their Messiah act like one of them; like a vulnerable mortal, extremely flawed and ugly.

But very soon, however, all of their feelings merged into understanding, a connection they had never really felt before from V. It was almost as if for the very first time, she was actually speaking directly toward them…

…and the only thing they could really do was sit on the floor and listen to her wail.

"If you can't let me be in peace then just fucking kill me, end me!" V thumped her chest as she stood closer to Riley, screaming at his face and not even caring that her spit was throwing all over him and trailing down her face – it didn't matter, nothing mattered anymore as she just looked Riley in the eyes and pleaded to him,

"What…? Do you want me to kill myself? Is that it? Do you want me to try and kill myself again? Is this some kind of sick fucking joke? Is that what you want, huh?"
