It was not unusual for such incidents to occur in a bar, so the

surrounding patrons did not react much. Even if some noticed, they were intimidated by Tyler and his men and dared not intervene. After all, playing the hero required some backing.

Nyla’s mind raced as she sought a way out. She did not want to be taken away like this.

Suddenly, several uniformed men stepped in front of Tyler and his crew. “Ty, you can’t take this woman.

Tyler looked at the manager, Kash Daly, who was leading the group. He removed the cloth from his bloody forehead and sneered. “Kash, see this wound on my head? This woman did it. And if you stop me, you’ll have to answer to Big Jin.”

Tyler’s influence in the area made him brazen.

Normally, Kash might have given him some leeway. However, in the presence of those higher up, Tyler was insignificant.

Kash advised, “Ty, she’s someone you can’t afford to mess with. I suggest you let her go, or else-”

Tyler interrupted with a cold laugh, “Or else what? There’s no one

around here I can’t handle!”

Kash’s expression darkened. “You have leeway out of respect for Big Jin. Tyler Krout, if you try to take her, you won’t leave this bar!”

“Fine, let’s see what you can do!” Tyler snarled.

He called Big Jin and handed the phone to Kash.

Kash whispered something into the phone and handed it back.

The moment Tyler put the phone to his ear, Big Jin’s furious voice

blared through. “Tyler Krout, if you want to die, just say so. Let her go immediately, or I’ll kill you!”

Big Jin hung up, and Tyler felt a surge of panic.

Even Big Jin had spoken–what was this woman’s background?

He turned to his men and ordered, “Let her go!”

Upon seeing his anxious face and the sweat on his forehead, his men dared not question him and immediately released Nyla.

Kash approached Nyla with a smile and apologized, “Miss, I’m terribly sorry for this incident. It was a lapse in our bar’s management. Please accept this lifetime membership card. All drinks will be half–price whenever you visit our bar. How does that sound?”

Nyla wasn’t naive. During the harassment by Tyler and his men, no bouncer had appeared for a long time. Their sudden intervention now must have been orchestrated by someone.

“Who helped me?” she asked.

Kash hesitated, unsure whether to introduce her to Damon. After all, Damon had instructed him to handle the situation but hadn’t mentioned meeting Nyla.

Nevertheless, Kash suspected there might be a deeper connection, given that Damon had intervened.

“Please follow me. I’ll take you to him,” Kash replied.

Leading Nyla to the second floor, Kash showed her to a booth where Damon was seated.

Nyla instinctively bit her lip upon seeing a scantily clad woman sitting

next to him.

“Mr. Sumner, this lady wanted to see you, so I brought her over,” Kash

announced.

Damon showed no expression and remained silent.

Taking the initiative, Nyla said, “Uncle Damon, thank you for tonight.”

Damon sipped from a glass of wine poured by the woman next to him, still not responding.

The atmosphere grew tense.

Nathaniel, sitting nearby, quickly tried to ease the tension with a smile.

Ms. Jayston, please don’t mind. Damon has always been a man of few words.”
