Chapter 82

"Yes, sir!" A thug pulled out a sharp knife, ready to cut.
Seeing this, Sean screamed in terror, "No! Help me!"
At that moment, with a loud bang, the office door was kicked open.
Crystal and the others walked in.
"Boss!" Crystal saw Sean being held and immediately ran over.
Sean looked at Crystal, crying out, "Crystal, you finally came! If you had been any later, I'd be dead!"
Crystal looked up at Tyler and yelled, "Tyler, I'm the one you want. Let my boss go!"
Tyler sneered, "Ha! Crystal, you finally showed up! You had the guts to throw a drink at me, and today I'll make sure you pay with your body!"
Hearing this, the thugs around them burst into laughter. They knew exactly what Tyler meant.
Once Tyler was done, they'd get their turn with this famous star. Many actresses had met similar fates, dying after being sexually abused by these men. Their families and entertainment companies were too scared of the Azure's power to speak out.
Crystal's face turned pale. She had heard stories about Tyler's cruelty. One of her friends had resisted Tyler, but ended up being r***d and found dead in a hotel room the next day. Her naked body showed signs of severe abuse. The case had been covered up because it involved Tyler.
Realizing she might face the same fate, Crystal clutched the small pair of scissors hidden in her sleeve. She would rather die than be r***d by Tyler.
Tyler's eyes glowed with lust as he said impatiently, "Grab her. I wanna enjoy this star right now."
"Yes, sir!"
Several Azure thugs, grinning lewdly, moved toward Crystal.
"Stay back!" Crystal shouted. She was terrified.
"Come on, sweetheart, be good, and we'll be gentle, hahaha!"
The thought of having their way with the world-famous star had them laughing in glee.
"Get lost!"
Just as they reached out to grab Crystal, a loud shout echoed through the room.
There were several loud bangs as the Azure thugs were sent flying back.
"Do you think I'm dead just because I haven't said any word?" Vincent said. He shook his hand and stepped forward with a look of annoyance. 'I have been standing here the whole time, and Tyler's men really completely ignored me?'
Tyler narrowed his eyes at Vincent and asked, "Who the hell are you? I advise you to stay out of this."
Vincent pulled up a chair and sat down casually. "None of your business."
"You..." Tyler was furious, not expecting Vincent to be so brazen.
"You little punk, do you know who I am? I'm the Azure's young master! If you dare to cross me, you're dead!" Tyler threatened.
Vincent, uninterested in Tyler's bluster, kicked one of the Azure thugs holding Sean and sent him flying.
Freed, Sean quickly hid behind Vincent.
Crystal rushed over with concern. "Boss, are you okay?"
Sean patted his chest, still trembling. "It freaked me out. Oh! I'm fine! Crystal, where did you find such a tough guy?" Taking on Tyler was something few in Nacehope City would dare.
Vincent had easily taken down several of Tyler's men with one move.
"Boss, let's see how things will go first," Crystal said, unsure how to explain. After all, she barely knew Vincent; they had only met today.
Tyler gritted his teeth. "Asshole, you're pretty cocky, daring to beat up my men. Who are you, and which gang do you belong to?"
Nacehope City was a chaotic place, teeming with all sorts of people and complex alliances.
The Nacehope City's underworld especially valued hierarchy and respect. If someone accidentally provoked a big shot, that would be a tragedy.
Tyler, aware of the potential consequences, wasn't quick to act in anger. He knew better than to provoke someone who might be a big deal.
Vincent remained impassive. "None of your business."
"You bastard, you're dead!" Tyler exploded with rage.
This guy had disrespected him repeatedly. Enough was enough.
"You, get him! I want his mouth ripped apart!" Tyler ordered, and his hatred for Vincent's insolence was palpable.
"Yes, sir!"
At Tyler's command, all the Azure thugs in the office rushed at Vincent. However, Vincent sat still, yet Galahad moved in a blur. With a few loud crashes, Tyler's men were on the ground and incapacitated.
Galahad looked disdainful. These weaklings were no match for him.
"You...," Tyler stammered, panicking as his men lay defeated.
Vincent stood up and walked toward Tyler.
"Stay back! What the hell are you doing?" Tyler shouted in terror as Vincent approached.
Before Tyler could react, Vincent slapped him hard, knocking out a few of his teeth.
Clutching his face in disbelief, Tyler said, "You dare hit me?"
Without giving Tyler time to recover, Vincent landed two more powerful slaps, sending Tyler flying across the room.
Tyler landed heavily on the floor. His face was swollen like a pig's, looking utterly pitiful. He was too scared to say another word, completely intimidated by Vincent. In his eyes, Vincent was a madman.
'Despite knowing my identity, this Vincent still dared to hit me and offend the Azure. Does he really not care about his life?'
Vincent stared coldly at Tyler. "This is just a little lesson. If you dare bother Crystal again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing Vincent slap Tyler, Crystal and Sean were utterly shocked.
'Who is this guy, daring to hit Tyler in Nacehope City? Does he have a death wish?'
"You bastard, just you wait. I won't let you get away with this!" Tyler spat out before being helped out by a few thugs and leaving in disgrace.
