Chapter Twenty Four - Let's Make A Bet!

Tyler wasn't aware of the conservation between David and the system. He had never got a chance to chat directly with the higher-ups. According to the latter, the risks involved with such a kind of activity were greater than forcing the arc forward!

So he still decided to stay away from David and thought that the latter had evil intentions. He did everything in his power to avoid the male lead.

He would even wake up early in the morning and line up to get food worth the entire day and save it in his cell!

That's why he wouldn't have to head out and face David. Luckily, the latter didn't come to find him the entire night.

It wasn't until the next morning that he found this annoying person standing just like the day before: leaning half of his body toward the bar, crossing his arms, and cocking his head.

He smiled just like before and said, "I was looking forward to our journey together. Unfortunately…"

At that time, Tyler was brushing his teeth early in the morning. He threw his saliva mixed with the paste in the basin, and glanced at this person in disbelief.

"How could you be here?" He still didn't know what methods this person use to march out of his cell as if this was his home! Did he steal someone's keys or something?

David could tell what Tyler was thinking. Before the other person could imagine the worst and blame him for killing the guards and escaping, David shook his head and parted his lips. "I've to talk to you about something."

Tyler ignored him and pulled up the curtains of the bathing area. He didn't want to show off his naked body to the person he crushed on. Imagine how embarrassed he would be!

But David wasn't the person who had ever listened to another soul. He walked forward and pulled out the curtains just when Tyler was about to take off his pants. He instantly covered his body with his shirt and glared at the male lead. His entire face, ears, neck, and even chest had a pinkish glow that was visible through his fair skin.

David could quickly tell why this person was blushing, and he had to purse his lips to hold in his smile.

"Get out!"

"I'm here to talk to you."

"But let me take a bath first!" Tyler was getting a headache.

"But this is really important!"

"Not more important than me staying naked right before your eyes!" Finally, Tyler blurted out something so weird that he himself found tongue-tied after this. What the hell was wrong with him?! How could he end up saying something so shameful?!

He didn't dare to see David's face and instantly pushed the other person out before pulling up the curtains again.

After that, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself for a while. That was when he realized what had happened, and his face went red all over again.

He quickly stripped off his pants and opened the shower.

"We have to go to the coal mine."

"You're still here?!" Tyler completely ignored the sentence and was silk worried about the other's presence.

"The important thing is the coal mine!" David's voice was serious, but a particular naked person behind the curtain ignored him completely. He was still embarrassed because of what had happened. This was the first time he had shown his upper body to David like this.

Even thinking about it made Tyler blush in embarrassment.

On the other side, David was getting impatient. He was also affected after seeing Tyler like this and wanted this world to end once and for all! He couldn't wait to confess to the other person and tell him the truth!

And he could only do this after grabbing that thing in the coal mine!

David took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions and glanced at the person's shadow behind the curtains. "Let's make a bet."

"Huh?" Tyler was confused. What bet?

"We will play a game. If you win, I'll listen to you, and if I win, you have to follow my commands." David was confident that he would be able to take Tyler to the coal mine without any hindrance like this. "So, are you ready?"

"No." Tyler wasn't stupid. He knew the other person might have had hidden intentions behind this. But after what had just happened, he wanted to stay far away from this person! The male lead was really dangerous for his heart! "You better stay away from me."

"If you win, you can order me to stay away from you." David pointed out another benefit.

Sure enough, he was successful in attracting Tyler's attention.

"What type of game are you talking about?" Tyler asked carefully after a moment of silence.

David smirked hearing that. Tyler was so easy to read. Thinking of this, he parted his lips and said, "Chess."

This confused Tyler even more. He had expected the male lead to blurt something perverted, but the latter ended up uttering the word "chess" out of the blue!

He already knew how to play this game, so he didn't think much of it. His attention was focused entirely on the fact that he could control the male lead after winning. "Okay, but how would we get to play this game?"

"Leave it to me."

Of course, David could sneak into his cell early in the morning even with the guards' presence, so he could mysteriously find chess in this dark and gloomy prison. Tyler rolled his eyes and continued to wash himself. After doing this, he wore his clothes and finally lifted the curtains to find that the room was empty.

When did the other person disappear?

On the other side, when David got back to his cell, he smiled mysteriously. He knew choosing chess as a game to bet such a thing might be a dangerous step, but the person was Tyler. Before this event of the transmigrating system started, David and Tyler used to play this game all the time, and the latter would always lose.

That was because David was a champion in chess in their original world. The current Tyler had already forgotten about this. So he was confident that he would win this game.

He just laid back and bought a game of chess from his system.
