“Tilda, you’ve gone way too far. Do you even know how much Santiago put into that game design software? He poured his heart into it!
“This bet isn’t fair! Santiago, you don’t have to go through with this!”
Harry jumped in, trying to talk some sense into Santiago.
Most people wouldn’t understand, but Har
did.
He’d seen how much Santiago had sacrificed for that software.
“I accept!” Santiago said without hesitation.
Harry nearly lost it. “Santiago, are you insane?! You’re seriously agreeing to this crazy bet?”
“As long as I win, nothing else matters,” Santiago said confidently.
When it came to gaming, he was untouchable.
He’d played every game in The Eighteenth Hell, studying them inside and out.
That was his territory!
Even if Tilda could beat Harry, there was no way she could take Santiago down.
He was certain of that.
“You… Ugh!” Harry let out a long, helpless sigh.
Honestly, he couldn’t predict the outcome between Santiago and Tilda.
But deep down, he felt Santiago had the edge.
Santiago’s gaming instincts and skills were just on another level–right up there with Tilda’s.
Santiago had one more advantage.
He was the one who brought Harry to The Eighteenth Hell first.
He’d already mastered every game here before Tilda even started.
In terms of experience and raw talent, he definitely had her beat.
Yet Harry couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at him.
He had no idea where that feeling came from.
Tilda clapped twice.
“I gotta admit you’ve got guts. Fine, I’ll waste a little of my precious time and play with you, mutt.”

Santiago gritted his teeth. “Can you watch your damn mouth?”

“Sorry, that’s just how I talk. Want me to be nicer? Beat me first.
“In the game or in a fight, if you win, I’ll even get down on my knees and beg for mercy.
“But… do you truly have what it takes?”
Tilda shot him a look full of contempt, dripping with arrogance.
Everyone around swallowed hard.
“Oh, you look so confident. Fine. Let’s play a live–action fighting game.

He’d already given up too much ground. Even if he was confident, losing now would be humiliating and
awkward.
When Santiago and Tilda sat down at the arcade machine, the crowd quickly formed a circle around them.
They kept a respectful distance, not wanting to distract the players.
After all, a tense match like that needed full focus to be exciting.
Before the game started, Santiago said coldly, “You’ve told me what you want if you win. Now it’s time to discuss what happens if you lose.”
“Go ahead,” Tilda replied, short and casual.
She looked completely at ease, like the outcome didn’t matter at all.
Seeing her so calm, Santiago felt a sharp sting in his chest, like a thorn had been driven right in.
