Villain Ch 581. That's Not the Point!
Gerry furrowed his brow, concern etching lines on his forehead as he observed Allen's dry smile and slightly flat expression. "What's eating at you, Allen? You look like you've been carrying the weight of the world."
Allen let out a quiet sigh, hesitating before responding. "Just got a lot on my plate, you know? Too much to do."
Gerry's frown deepened. "Need a hand? Seriously, man, I'm here for you."
Allen shook his head, his lips twitching into that familiar dry smile. "Nah, I got this. Thanks, though."
Gerry clicked his tongue in disapproval. "You're always like this, Allen. Refusing help until you're on the brink of collapse. You need to learn to lean on your friends, buddy."
Panic flashed in Allen's eyes for a moment, realizing Gerry was onto something. "No, I'm seriously fine. It's just a temporary chaos, you know? Things will settle down soon."
