The devil's den, most feared hacker and his best friend have one plan. Build an empire in the gaming industry, after winning the Game development world championships.

"They went to buy celebratory things. You know.. Because Francy and Remi got accepted into the competition with their idea." I leaned on the couch.
Kai was instantly on defense. "Oh so she left you to try to talk me out of it."

"I can't tell you what to do with your relationship." I started off. "You have your own thing and pace with Remi and I have my own with Francy. If I can help it I wouldn't have this conversation."

That stung. "Francy and I have an arrangement." I moved my pawn.
"I have one with Remi." His next move took my pawn.
"But yours is interfering with mine."
"Then you have a problem. Not me."
That didn't even... Ah he was getting on my nerves.
"I can see why they hate arguing with you." I looked down at the board and moved my next pawn.
"Then why bother?" He smirked and moved another pawn..
