As the dust settled in the chamber, and the echoes of the fierce battle faded away, Aric stood triumphant over Jarod's lifeless body. A dark, sinister smile spread across his face, the intoxicating power surging through his veins was unlike anything he had ever felt before. He felt invincible, a force of nature that could no longer be stopped.
Suddenly, a series of notifications rang out in his mind, the familiar tone of the system's voice echoing through his thoughts:
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained +3000 Villain Halo and +30,000 Villain Points for completely breaking the relationship between the protagonist Jarod Lei and Ryan Chen.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained +1000 Villain Halo and +10,000 Villain Points for completely breaking the mentality of the protagonist Jarod Lei.]
