Chapter 357 Who’s the Winner?
That kind of easy confidence should have been his.
Tilda, enjoy it while you can. Soon, I’ll use my skills to tear your smug mask apart!
“If you lose, you have to listen to your brothers! No disobedience!”
Santiago didn’t demand Tilda return to the Jensons or forgive them.
He thought she didn’t deserve it.
Even now, he couldn’t understand why the Jensons cared so much about a traitor like Tilda.
Sure, they’d made mistakes. But he thought Tilda was being petty, always scheming for revenge.
Without the Jensons, she wouldn’t even exist!
Since he ran into her, he just wanted to go head-to-head and see who came out on top.

Listening to the brothers? That was just for Kayden and Wade. They cared about Tilda. As their brother, he’d help them out.
“Fine.”
Tilda was speechless.
The Jensons were ridiculous.
Listening to her brothers? No disobedience?
It was disgusting.
When she listened to them, they all looked down on her.
Now that she fought back, they suddenly acted like good siblings.
“We’ll use the same rules as when I played with your apprentice. First to five wins takes the championship. Got it?”
“Sure. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Five wins? You’ll probably lose before you even get close!”
Tilda didn’t bother answering and hit the start button.
The character selection screen appeared.
She chose a female character built for speed and agility.
Meanwhile, Santiago picked a male character focused on power and critical hits.
Those were two totally different styles.
Harry stared nervously at the screen. He didn’t dare blink, not even once.

He held his breath during the intense moments.
For once, the usually noisy arcade was dead silent.
After the first round, the word “Victory” flashed across the screen.
Santiago won!
“Yes!” Harry clenched his fists, full of excitement.
The match had been intense.

Several times, Santiago’s health points dropped so low that a single combo from Tilda could have ended it.
But in the end, he pulled through.
It wasn’t like when Harry had been completely crushed by her.
Santiago raised an eyebrow and shot Tilda a proud glance.
Honestly, his palms were sweaty.
Very few people had ever pushed him that hard in a fighting game.
He’d almost forgotten what it felt like to be that focused and exhilarated.
Today, such a feeling was back.
And the one giving him that thrill? It was the little sister he’d always looked down on.
Tilda stayed calm.
Round two began, and she quickly won.
She barely edged Santiago out, lowering his health points first.
Everyone gasped.
It was one-to-one. That was way too exciting.
They finally knew what a pro-level face-off looked like.
Santiago’s expression fell.
He thought he was imagining things. The second round felt way tougher than the first.
The worst part? He lost.
Harry was on edge. He knew Tilda had started learning Santiago’s moves.
Little by little, she was making his strategies her own. She’d pick the smart moves and ignore the weak ones.
Back in “Rogue Fighters“, when Tilda had never played that game before, Harry lost the same way.

What happened next shocked everyone.
In the next four rounds, Santiago didn’t win a single match.
The gap kept growing.
By the fifth win, Tilda still had half her health bar left.
She completely defeated Santiago.
His face went pale, his hand on the joystick limp.
Tilda had noticed all his habits over the course of the games.

Those were moves that nobody else would catch, but she did.
Like a spider weaving a web, she lured Santiago into her trap step by step.
When Santiago thought he had the upper hand, he didn’t even realize he was walking straight into her plan.
There was no way out.
“I won. According to our bet, hand over the software and delete it yourself. It’s not yours anymore.
“I’ll file for a patent change. Since you always talk about the Jensons‘ honor, I trust you won’t go back on your word.”
Of course, Tilda had already recorded their conversation just in case.
If Santiago tried anything shady, she’d make sure he got ruined. Then, the Jensons would pay for his mistakes.
