Bargaining chips

=====

While Tyler was dealing with the aftermath of the mess Kris made... Kris was dealing with the unexpected half of the item he had been searching for.

Kris glared at the half... as everyone else in the room just stood silent. They felt like a single movement will be the death of them.

After a long time, Kris burst into a loud laugh.

Tye widened his eyes and nudged Collin. "Are we going to die...?" He whispered.

Collin rolled his eyes.

"Do you want to die..." Kris stood up and walked over to Tye. "If everyone were to die... you would be the first one. You're the most useless one."

"...." Tye swallowed. What is he talking about... if it was not for his good matchmaking skills, would Kris still be a virgin boy?!

"Where is the other half?" Kris looked at Keso.

"I.. don't know. Tyler Huang must have moved it awhile back even without his father knowing. Not even Becca nor any of our spies knew of it."
