Chapter Twenty Two - Why Is The Male Lead Here?!

Tyler didn't have any intention of seeing a new face. So he just laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. But no matter what he would do all day, he could still see a familiar male lead right before him after closing his eyes.

The memories of David kept haunting him even now. His actions had puzzled him so much that he didn't know what to think about this kind of person anymore.

First, David would send Tyler to the prison deliberately against the wave of the world story. This even made Tyler miss out on the essential arcs such as meeting the male lead's parents, the conference after the game was finished, the cruise travel, and then the kidnapping scene.

The prison part should've come after the kidnapping. But it seemed that the arc was forced forward for some reason, and David decided to send Tyler to jail.

But something puzzled him even more.

They usually say that two enemies of one person could become friends. So technically, David should have sided with Alex and Elsa after dealing with Tyler. But the latter firmly ignored them!

He could already imagine the situations Elsa must be facing right now. Still, he was curious and wanted to check out her status.

So he opened the system interface and clicked the character description tab. There was another button at the bottom for those people who wanted to see the characters' current situation—status.

This won't show Tyler what kind of situation they faced. Neither could he see the scene from his eyes. But he would be able to see what the character had felt recently.

And as he expected. It was written in red color beneath the status button—anxious.

And now Tyler could confirm his suspicion. David had really planted hidden dangers in the company before giving it away to Elsa.

If the male lead really wanted to side with him, why did he have to send him to prison?

What was his intention behind it?

Just as he was busy thinking of all the possible reasons, a familiar voice made him jolt in surprise.

"You could've come to receive me, but you didn't. I'm so hurt." The person leaned against the bar and cocked his head. "Are you angry because I deliberately sent you to the prison?"

Tyler's eyes widened. This scene couldn't be more familiar to him. That's because this person was none other than David, and the male lead had barged in unexpectedly like this before!

He darted his eyesight toward the person who seemed to be smirking while gazing at him with a lazy expression on his face.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Tyler couldn't help but blurt it out in a loud voice. He was so shocked that he felt he imagined this.

He suddenly remembered the scene from the recorded camera when David sent himself to the police station. He hadn't really paid attention to what had happened after that.

Did David really send himself to jail? But why?!

Or was this all his imagination? Tyler's suspicious eyes stared at David for a long time.

Had he fallen for him already? Tyler firmly believed that it was merely a crush and nothing else. Then why did he have to see this person's face?! Tyler rubbed his eyes many times, but David was still standing right before him.

As if to confirm, Tyler slowly walked toward the other person and poked his arms.

"You're really here!" He glanced at the other person in surprise as if he couldn't believe it.

David held his laughter at this kind of reaction, but his expressions seemed to be screaming out the fact that he was clearly amused.

"What? Did you really think you can get rid of me that easily?"

"You…" Tyler speechlessly stared at the male lead before he remembered the situation.

This was a prison, and the person standing before him was responsible for sending him here. He seemed to have a hidden intention, which might or might not be dangerous.

Tyler didn't want to repeat his previous mistakes. So he took a few deep breaths to calm himself and stared coldly at him. "Why're you here?"

"I followed you here. You should be happy." David shook his head. "But I seemed to have made some miscalculations."

"You're completely wrong. I'm not at all happy."

"Sure, sure." David waved as if he didn't take Tyler's words seriously. After that, he walked inside and jumped on the lower bunk. "I'm taking this."

Wasn't this where Tyler was sleeping before?

"That's my bed." Tyler squinted his eyes at the man.

"Is your name written here?" David, who had already made himself comfortable on the bed, raised his head to question Tyler lazily.

The other person had already started having a headache. He still wasn't sure if he should continue to trust this person. And the fact that he had such a God-like body made it even worse! He would be seduced into relying on this person for the second time if they started living together in this cell!

No, Tyler couldn't let that happen. He glared at the male lead and walked out in large strides.

It seemed like David knew what his friend was thinking about. So he jumped off the bed and started walking after him.

When Tyler reached a nearby guard, he said in a complaining time, "Can you change my roommate?"

Even though this prison had a few guards as his fans, Tyler was still careful. The guard he had met before for teaching those big men a lesson wasn't someone he knew. So he couldn't trust that person wholeheartedly. That was why he had resorted to using such a technique earlier to deal with them.

But he had seen the person standing before him earlier while entering the prison for the first time. So this must be one of those fans.

So he was sure if he asked him something, this person wouldn't hesitate before fulfilling the promise. And the result was within his expectations.

The guard's eyes glistened in delight when he heard this. "Sure!" Then he took out a writing pad and wrote something. But before he could say something, another annoying existence appeared.

"You shouldn't be seduced by that face so easily. What if your chief finds out about this?" David said coldly.

"The chief is also his fan…" The guard smiled slyly.

"Really?" The male lead turned toward Tyler and gave him a smile that also had an evil touch. It almost seemed like this person was too jealous.

Tyler frowned at this realization and shook his head. Impossible! He must be imagining this again!

"How many people have you seduced, Mr. Smith?"

Tyler ignored him and turned toward the guard. "Let's go."

The two of them went their ways as David stared at their backs. His eyesight lingered on Tyler's for a moment before he lowered his head. Smile had already disappeared from his face.

"Looks like I had hurt him terribly." A bitter smile formed on the male lead's lips. "But what choice did I really have? If I hadn't taken this step, things would've turned worse."

Even though David knew everything and was smarter than most people around, he was still helpless when it comes to the system.

If there were another way around, he would've chosen to tell Tyler the truth about everything he had been facing. But the reality forced him to curb the truth.

This was the only way to save Tyler from the brink of death.
