Chapter 182: He's Not Wearing A Mask!

Before Tyler could leave the restaurant, the male lead stopped him and said, "I'll get you out of here. I promise!"

Tyler didn't say anything and rushed away. Finally, that person at least did what the storyline said and not directly focused on going out of character!

It seemed that for once, this system managed to do something in his favor. At this speed, Tyler could tell that Lucas would end up following the story until the end.

Tyler couldn't help but be relaxed at this thought.

He didn't get to see his senior after that, and soon, two days passed. In the morning, Tyler sat in the room provided by the bar as his temporary stay. He pondered over one issue.

In the storyline mentioned by the system, he remembered reading that the villain's condition wasn't good, and a few people even attempted to rape him before the imperial guards came and saved him.

Now the problem was that Tyler had a very blissful and relaxed life here. The bar guards even cared about his security. That practically meant no one dared to approach him even in their dreams since the manager didn't want to let his money tree go away. This manager knew very well that Tyler could bring more money. So he even took care of the security.

So if Tyler had to carry out this arc, he would have to go to a dark alley and wait…

The system didn't tell him what the villain had done to look like that after two days of struggle. So he wouldn't bother living on the street and begging for food just to make it as he had suffered.

Instead, Tyler would just tear his clothes that he was wearing when he appeared in this world and make his appearance terrible enough to prove that he was suffering all this time.

So the only thing he needed to figure out was finding bad boys. It would be better to get his hands on the local gangsters hiding in the dark alley. Since the system didn't mention who these people were cornering the villain, he wouldn't care about their identity.

After all, such a thing wouldn't give him a headache anyway because of the error notification from the system.

So he removed his mask and kept it on the dressing table of his room before wearing a black hoodie and sneaking out of his room. What he didn't know was that as soon as he left the room, some people followed behind him in the shadows. 

They weren't rapists or something but were wearing military uniforms. And they were following him for a completely different purpose.

One of the officers saw the man without a mask, but he still couldn't see the man's face. He frowned and pressed the stud attached to his ear. "Prince, Mr. Tyler just left his house."

"Hm…" Lucas's voice came. "Continue to follow him."

"This time, he's not wearing a mask."

Lucas's heart jumped at that. He wished he could be in the place of those imperial guards! When his legal partner ran away, he had sent these guards after that person, wanting to take him back. But after meeting Tyler, he changed his attitude and ordered those guards to go after Tyler instead and keep an eye on him.

He wanted to follow that man's every step and see what he was doing. Until now, the guards weren't able to see Tyler's face. This thing made Lucas so curious that he made them spy on Tyler's everyday life. But for some reason, that guy never took off his mask and would even keep it on in his room.

The only time Tyler would be without the mask was when it was night and when he was bathing.

The second prince couldn't help but be irritated at this. Why was Tyler unwilling to show his face?!

But now, when Tyler finally removed his mask and went out, he couldn't stand still and ordered his guards. "Continue to send me updates about his situation. I'm coming!"

And thus, without even Tyler realizing it, the plot started to crumble once again. The higher-ups would surely puke blood after seeing how their choice continued to create problems for them.

***

Tyler didn't know what was going on behind his back. He just kept walking on the street in the crowd. Suddenly, he felt someone's shadow following behind him. He squinted but didn't look back.

Who was it?

The imperial guards shouldn't have come at this time! Did the plot already start to divert from its original path? But he had to follow the arc until 50% of the original storyline was reached!

What should he do about that?! He couldn't even think of acting out of character until then if he didn't want to get a headache!

What else could he do?

He frowned and continued plotting.

Since the restrictions were low, he knew that he didn't have to follow everything strictly. He would just have to make sure that the plot could at least be 40% similar to the real storyline.

To reach that stage, he would at least have to complete the plotline and the arcs from his side, even if the male lead was stubbornly diverting from the original path.

If things would worsen and his identity as Tyler would be revealed, he would just pretend until the male lead didn't say anything.

After that, he would wait and push another omega acting as Victor to the crown prince's embrace.

After scheming everything, Tyler's shoulders relaxed. He would just continue to follow the arc strictly. Even the male lead didn't remember him anymore. So no one could stop him!

Thinking like that, he blended in the crowd and swiftly took out the hoodie he was wearing, throwing it on a bench nearby when those shadows weren't looking at him. After that, he made his appearance messy and entered a dark alley.

Let's see how those shadows could find him now!

When he was going inside, the imperial guards panicked. They couldn't locate Tyler at all! This was the first time a commoner was able to sneak away in front of their eyes!

How could Tyler just hide like that?! They had been watching him all the time!

"Boss, we can't find him anymore!"

Lucas suddenly chuckled. "If you can't find him, then go die!"
