In my last life, I was too scared during the war to even remember I had the device. I only found it after escaping. Now, even though help might not come right away, I decided to use it just in case. Perhaps my father could still do something.
Right after I sent the signal, Otto came over and patted me on the shoulder.
"James, take off your watch for me. I'll exchange it for a roasted whole lamb. Every day, I’ve been eating instant noodles that make me sick."
My heart shook. This bastard really had his eyes on my watch.
"Don't you have one yourself? Why are you using mine?"
Otto was clearly furious at my words. He then stepped forward and grabbed my collar.
"This watch is my lucky charm. Since I wore it, I’ve always been blessed by good fortune. How can it compare with your lousy watch?"
I couldn’t help but slap his hand away.
"Just because it's your lucky charm, so what does that have to do with me? If you want the roasted lamb, exchange it for your own watch!"
As both Otto and I argued, Yvette and her men came over. She reached out her hand to me, her voice cold.
"Just give your watch!"
