938 Words
As soon as the words were spoken, the suited men charged towards Vincent and the others. Galahad effortlessly subdued them, leaving them groaning on the ground. The woman who had just sought Vincent's help looked on in shock. In her memory, no one dared to publicly confront Tim in Nacehope City; Vincent and his group might be the first. Vincent paid no mind to these thugs, motioning for Emma to get into the car so they could leave. Suddenly, the woman called out, "Wait!" Vincent furrowed his brow and asked, "What else do you need?" The woman pleaded pitifully, "Please, take me with you! Otherwise, they'll definitely send someone to capture me!" Vincent initially wanted to refuse, but Emma's pleading eyes softened his heart a bit. He reluctantly agreed, "Get in the car." The woman's expression turned joyful. She nodded gratefully, saying, "Thank you so much, you're really kind-hearted!" Once inside the car, the woman took off her sunglasses and baseball cap, revealing her hidden face. Although Emma was already a stunning beauty herself, she couldn't help but be surprised by the woman's allure. Vincent, however, remained calm. In his eyes, there was only Emma. No other woman could compare to her. Unable to contain herself, Emma exclaimed, "You're so beautiful!" The woman smiled and replied, "You too! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Crystal Zangwill. Thank you for saving me!" Emma nodded and introduced herself, "I'm Emma Joseph." Crystal expected to see some surprise on their faces upon revealing her name. However, to her disappointment, they remained expressionless. Vincent, in particular, looked out the window with no reaction whatsoever, which left Crystal feeling slightly dismayed. Crystal was a global celebrity at the height of her fame. Wherever she went, crowds followed. How could these few people act as if they didn't recognize her? Crystal was unaware that Emma was usually busy with work and paid little attention to celebrities. And Vincent? He had no interest in the entertainment industry. Crystal couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. Seeing this, Emma curiously asked, "Why were those people chasing you?" Crystal replied with a dejected expression, "They're Tim's thugs. This morning, his son, Tyler, invited me to a dinner party. I was not allowed to refuse it due to my agency's arrangements. But when I arrived, Tyler tried to harass me. I was furious, so I splashed wine on his face and escaped!" Tyler was quite notorious in Nacehope City. He often abused his father's influence, especially when it came to mistreating female celebrities. Crystal had now offended Tyler, and this matter was far from over. Emma's face filled with anger, "What a shameless person!" Crystal sighed lightly and continued, "Tim holds considerable power in Nacehope City. I'm afraid this time, I'm in deep trouble." Thinking of herself becoming Tyler's plaything, despair filled her heart. Emma comforted her, "Don't worry, my husband is very capable. He will definitely help you." Upon hearing this, Vincent, sitting in the passenger seat, involuntarily twitched his mouth. Here he was, the Round Table's King, now reduced to running errands for Emma. But Vincent understood Emma couldn't stand seeing men mistreat women, and hearing Crystal's plight filled her with a sense of righteous indignation. Afraid Vincent might refuse, Emma pressed, "Honey, you will help Crystal, won't you?" Vincent sighed helplessly, "Alright, I promise to help." Emma smiled secretly. Seeing this, Crystal, on the side, was taken aback. She shook her head and said, "Forget it! You've already helped me today, and I'm immensely grateful. Tyler is cruel and ruthless. Anyone who offends him in Nacehope City meets a terrible fate. I don't wanna drag you down!" 'Vincent looks like an outsider. He probably doesn't know how dangerous Tyler is. I can't let Vincent and the others be implicated because of me!' Vincent chuckled, "Don't worry. Since my wife asked me to help you, I will definitely help you." Vincent also had other plans in mind; this was an opportunity to investigate the underworld forces in Nacehope City. Before Crystal could say anything else, Emma interrupted with a smile, "Just stay with us. My husband is very capable. He will protect you..." Hearing this, Crystal couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity towards Vincent. During the journey, Emma and Crystal chatted happily. Seeing this, Vincent was speechless. Women's friendships sometimes developed inexplicably. Upon arriving at the hotel, Emma and Crystal had already bonded like sisters, with endless topics to discuss. Once in the room, Vincent's expression turned serious as he ordered, "Galahad, immediately investigate Crystal's background." Galahad nodded respectfully, "Yes, my lord." Crystal's sudden appearance and her current relationship with Emma raised suspicions. Vincent absolutely refused to allow someone of unknown origin to be around Emma. At the slightest hint of danger, Vincent would not hesitate to eliminate it. He would not allow any harm to come to Emma! Soon, Galahad returned and reported respectfully, "My lord, according to my investigation, Crystal is a contracted singer with Starlight Entertainment. She is currently one of the hottest global entertainment stars. She refused Tyler, and now he is sending people everywhere to capture her..." Vincent nodded. Galahad's intelligence didn't reveal anything new; it seemed Crystal was just a celebrity. He then asked, "What background does that Tyler have?" Galahad answered, "Tyler is the only son of Nacehope City's underworld kingpin, Tim. He is ruthless and brutal, enjoys exploiting women, and has sexually assaulted numerous female celebrities and models." Upon hearing this, Vincent's face darkened, and he muttered under his breath, "Another scum. Looks like there's something to attend to in Nacehope City this time!"
