Kicked

Villain Ch 1150. Kicked 

Allen frowned slightly, sensing the discomfort. "What do you want to say?" he asked, his tone more direct. "You don't usually act like this. At least... not around me."

Elio looked down for a moment, clearly wrestling with something inside. His hesitation was clear, and it wasn't like him at all. Elio had always been the type to say exactly what he thought, whether it was brash or cutting, but this was different. He was holding something back.

After a few beats of silence, Elio sighed. "I… I want to apologize."

Allen blinked, staring at Elio in disbelief for a second. "Huh?" His expression shifted from confusion to skepticism. He even thought for a moment that he'd heard wrong. Elio apologizing to him? It was something he'd never expected, especially given their history.
