Villain With The Strongest System-Chapter 228: A lost cause

"Alas, they don't seem to teach mercy and compassion at Olympus, making you as rotten as the rest of your disgusting family" Rocky said condescendingly as he expressed his true feelings regarding Sophia for the first time ever.

Listening to his harsh words, Sophia immediately felt her worldview darken, as she realized that Rocky had been faking his true feelings about her all this time.

Everyday that he met her with a bright smile on his face…

Everytime that he brought her a flower when she was injured or expressed his concern about her well being.

Everytime that he reassured her about her own self worth when she was down low

And

Everytime that he pretended to be her one and only friend, Rocky was actually faking his feelings for her, and after realizing this truth, Sophia felt something inside her heart shatter.

"You were lying to me? All this time? You never actually liked me, did you?" Sophia asked, her voice sounding hurt and broken, as even in this situation, she naturally played the part of a 'victim'.

"Oh my god… I can't! I can't handle this woman, I'm sorry Sir Rocky, but you have to let me speak up today–" Erin said, sounding angry and agitated to the point where Rocky felt like he was ready to snap.

Nodding, Rocky allowed Erin to say some final words to Sophia as Erin absolutely laid into her.

"Shut your whiny mouth for once, you self centered, narcissistic bitch!

For heaven's sake!

Olympus's sake!

Poseidon's sake!

Or for just the sake of general sanity, please shut your crying mouth" Erin began, as he resisted the urge to give Sophia a tight slap.

"YOU WERE ABOUT TO KILL US ALL! YOU WERE ABOUT TO UNLEASH THE WRATH OF HUNDREDS OF TIER4 AND TIER5 EXPERTS ON YOUR FRIENDS AND YOU DARE TALK ABOUT BETRAYAL?" Erin said, grabbing Sophia by her collar as he shook the woman up and down.

"Not everything in this world is about you! Not everyone HAS TO BEHAVE HOW YOU WANT THEM TO BEHAVE.

We did not have an agenda of betraying you before we met you.

However, we betrayed you BECAUSE YOU DOUBLE CROSSED US FIRST.

YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM HERE

YOU ARE THE FOOL WHO COULD NOT PLAY HER HAND RIGHT" Erin said, as he gasped for air after speaking those words non-stop.

Erin had enough of Sophia and her victim mentality of always blaming anything wrong that happened to her, on the rest of the universe.

It was about time that she started to realize that it wasn't her family that was the problem, it wasn't the rest of the universe that was conspiring to hold her down, but that she herself was the problem.

"You are the Champion Of Poseidon, yes, congratulations for it. However, just having that tag doesn't automatically make you a special fighter.

Sir Rocky is special because he's Sir Rocky first and the Champion Of Gemini later.

However, the only good thing about you is your status, while without it you are nothing.

The sooner that you realize that without your family's pedigree and your status as the Champion Of Poseidon, you are nothing, the sooner you will start living your life as a sensible person, because, frankly, Sophia, you yourself really have no value, as even today, we are kidnapping you because of your status as the Champion and not because you yourself are a valuable asset for the Floor21 army.

So stop whining, start reflecting and look at yourself to figure out 'Where did I go wrong?' first.

Because trust me, the problem is you!" Erin said, letting out a deep sigh, as he said everything that he had been holding close to his chest for months.

Turning as he glanced towards Neatwit and Rocky, the two of them blinked in stunned silence towards him, as they seemed to be genuinely bamboozled by his outburst.

On the other hand, Buhara seemed to think that he had gone too far as he felt conflicted between comforting Sophia and letting the matter be for now.

For a moment, Erin felt like his speech would have cut-through Sophia's thick head and prompted her to think about what a horrible person she was, however, that hope was quickly crushed when Sophia snapped back at Erin with her usual bullshit.

"Shut up! How dare you lecture me on my mistakes, you filthy lowborn!

I would have killed you just a few weeks ago if Professor Mae, that bitch! did not save your life.

Talk to me with respect, you weakling. I'm not your equal, so don't you dare talk down to me as if I'm your slave" Sophia said, snapping back at Erin, as it was at that moment that both Erin and Rocky realized that Sophia was a lost cause.

If this outburst from Erin could not cut-through her thick skull and prompt her to self-reflect about her actions, then there was probably nothing in this universe that ever could.

Rocky had hoped that Sophia would show some remorse for her actions after they foiled her plan, however, he was probably expecting too much from the spoiled princess.

"That's it…. I'm gagging her" Neatwit said, as he brought out a gag ball from his spatial pouch and placed it around Sophia's mouth so that she could not speak anymore.

*Mmphhhhh*

*Mmmpssshhh*

Even after Neatwit gagged her, Sophia continued to violently curse Erin, Buhara and Rocky for betraying her, as she shouted at the top of her lungs and continued to cry tears of self pity.

In her head, she was still the unfortunate princess who had been betrayed by her close confidants, however, Rocky and the others no longer gave a damn about how she felt.

Placing her above his shoulder, Neatwit proceeded to return towards the main army, while Rocky, Erin and Buhara jogged down the tunnel pathway, towards where the other Elite forces were fighting against the trapped Olympian soldiers underneath, to proceed with the next phase of their war plan.
