Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 98: For Those Eyes of Yours, I Would Die Without Hesitation

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: For Those Eyes of Yours, I Would Die Without Hesitation

Iris Crawford was shocked when Lachlan Wyatt said those words.

She had always thought Lachlan Wyatt was someone who didn’t care about others, as if he was observing everyone from a god-like perspective, watching people suffer below him, detached and indifferent.

But it turns out, in front of matters of right and wrong, he always knew the difference.

It turns out he understood everything.

But he pretended not to understand anything.

Without speaking, Iris Crawford fell silent. She released her clenched fingers; her hands still bore some wounds, and this time, due to excessive force, the wounds seemed to crack again, oozing a little blood.

Perhaps it was the scent of blood in the air, Lachlan Wyatt’s actions grew more fierce. Under his pressure, those people confessed everything one by one. In that country where even the ICPO Interpol couldn’t issue a Red Notice to pursue, someone maliciously targeted vulnerable women.

Moreover, they specifically aimed at girls from wealthy families.

These girls, pampered since birth, hadn’t seen the world’s dangers, easy to deceive, effortlessly targeted, and even fetched higher prices at auctions.

They coveted these fortunes and the girls’ youthful beauty, profiting through this illicit trade. Some wealthy families had their daughters kidnapped and were willing to pay, so even if they didn’t physically capture the women, they got the money, achieving their goals.

They hated the rich, and they hated women, yearning to see wealthy people kneel and beg for mercy. It was as if, at that moment, they became the rulers of the world.

Those who committed such acts were usually desperadoes, with few family members left at home, hence their audacity.

Iris Crawford never imagined in this world that someone could harbor such immense malice toward their kind...

After hearing these confessions, Iris Crawford gasped, "Do you know what you’re doing is illegal?"

"Is that why you ran so far?" Lachlan Wyatt wished he could personally snap their necks immediately, "How long have you been doing this?"

"That organization has existed for a long time."

A few men in black huddled together, "Even if you go now, you won’t be able to destroy them. It’s a place where a mysterious and terrifying group gathers. Once you enter, you’ll be strictly controlled unless you kill them all! Otherwise, they will definitely seek revenge on you! Lachlan Wyatt, don’t you care about any women? The people in the organization will surely retaliate knowing you’ve captured us, just wait! Everyone around you will be dragged down because of you!"

Lachlan Wyatt kicked the man in the mouth, breaking two of his front teeth!

A scream, the pain left the man unable to speak, only allowing him to howl in misery, followed by Elias Shaw’s call, "Sarah Shaw is awake, the police are heading your way now, I’m bringing people over."

"They’re all here, just had a little conflict with us, and got hurt," Lachlan Wyatt laughed with murderous intent in his eyes, "You wouldn’t hold it against us, right?"

The men in black thought, is this called mutual conflict? Isn’t this a one-sided beating?

Lachlan Wyatt, you’re speaking nonsense with a straight face!

But Lachlan Wyatt indeed spoke nonsense with a straight face. When the police arrived and arrested these despicable kidnappers, he stood by with a look of a "model citizen," rubbing his hands enthusiastically, moved to tears, and said, "You police officers worked so hard, thank you so much, you are truly the people’s heroes!"

He spoke with apparent sincerity. You couldn’t see how he had just looked like a murderer.

Iris Crawford: ...Lachlan Wyatt, have some shame.

Having successfully rescued Sarah Shaw from these criminals and wiped them out, the agency and others’ next step was to go to the hospital to check on Sarah Shaw. Because of Sarah Shaw’s special identity, she naturally couldn’t go to a regular hospital for an examination, so Elias Shaw, after much thought, had Sarah Shaw return to the Shaw Family to rest, letting doctors secretly visit for her check-up.

When the group reached the gate of the Shaw Family residence, they were stopped by security until they saw Elias Shaw’s permit, only then were they allowed entry.

Peach sighed, "No wonder Sarah Shaw wanted to escape. Living here feels suffocating..."

"The family rules are too strict, mainly because that position, that rank, is too high, can’t afford anything happening, or it will easily attract retaliation."

James Chesterton added on the side, "It’s still comfortable at our house, coming and going freely. Sarah Shaw never announced she’s from the Shaw Family when she left, because she ran away from her marriage, and the Shaw Family always held a grudge for it, almost expelled her from the family, why is someone suddenly trying to kidnap her now?"

Could it be that the organization really targets these kinds of women?

Back then, Iris Crawford, who was ignorant and brave, James Chesterton’s innocent sister, Sarah Shaw, all appeared to be unaware of the world’s dangers, and simplicity invited trouble, making them appear as prey in others’ eyes.

"I think we need to make a trip to The Federation of Zelaria."

Lachlan Wyatt pondered for a long time, saying to Shayna Shaw, "Action tomorrow night, can you make arrangements on your side?"

Elias Shaw said cryptically, "Isn’t it strange, you’re going, why contact me to make arrangements? What, are you planning to make a big mess and have me clean it up?"

Lachlan Wyatt’s smile was so bright it could blind someone, "You guessed it! Isn’t it because your status and power are more useful?"

Elias Shaw’s forehead veins throbbed, "Am I your tool? You make trouble and want me to clean it up? Since you’re so capable, why not ask that guy named Christopher at the top to clean it up for you?"

Lachlan Wyatt said indifferently, "Oh, William Thorne said he already talked to Christopher Vaughn, he’s coming with us."

"..." So, they really did find someone named Vaughn as support.

Grumbling all the way in his mind, Elias Shaw thought whoever fancies Lachlan Wyatt in the future must be blind. Lachlan is someone who devours people to the bones, who knows which unfortunate woman will spend the rest of her life with him!

Leading a group to the door, Elias Shaw knocked on the door, "Sarah Shaw, your friends are here."

"Let them in."

A sweet and clear voice came from inside, but the tone still seemed a bit unsteady, likely still shaken from a fright, as if her soul had yet to return. Iris Crawford entered first with concern, "Sarah, are you okay?"

"I’m much better now, thank you all." Sarah Shaw held Iris Crawford’s hand, "I knew you all would come to save me."

The moment Sarah Shaw held her hand, an electric current spread from Iris Crawford’s palm to every part of her body.

Sarah Shaw waved at Peach too, "Peach, I heard you were so cool, almost cut off that guy’s tongue, right?"

"If I hadn’t promised Lachlan I’d hold back, that tongue would’ve been cut off and stomped on by now!" Peach walked over to the bed and sat down, crossing her legs, "Don’t be afraid, Sarah, we’re here. It’s our fault, we should’ve noticed earlier, it’s all our fault!"

"It’s not your fault, none of us expected this." Sarah Shaw straightened her hair, "I originally planned to visit Patrick Pierce’s film crew. An old friend of Gia, contacted our agency, wanting to know how Gia is doing since there’s been no news. I happened to remember this, so I went to check it out..."

"Was that person also in the crew?"

"Yeah. She’s a minor internet celebrity." Sarah Shaw nodded and looked towards Iris Crawford, "She originally heard Gia was cast as the lead, so she joined the crew hoping to meet again. But Gia was suddenly banned and hidden, and she couldn’t find her, so she gathered some information and eventually found us to ask."

Iris Crawford sighed, "Gia and Peter Marshall have both been arrested. Now, with Gia’s confession and cooperation, she should be released before Peter."

"I passed that message to Gia, she was quite surprised. She initially thought there were no real friends in the entertainment industry, but unexpectedly, someone still cares about her when something happens."

Sarah Shaw’s eyes looked down, obedient and cute, Iris Crawford couldn’t imagine what she went through being forced into marriage, or what kind of mindset she harbored when escaping. It seemed like everyone was living in their own hells, thinking they had escaped, only to realize that from the moment of birth, misfortune was already destined.

"Pack your things, I plan to go to The Federation of Zelaria with Lachlan tomorrow." Iris Crawford said with a determined expression, gripping Sarah Shaw’s hand, "I can no longer let this kind of thing keep happening, I hope to destroy this entire den completely!"

"I support you." Sarah Shaw said with strength, "I heard about the specifics from my brother, I never imagined someone could be so hateful and cruel to women, but because of physical reasons, I can’t go with you. Tomorrow, I’ll be your support from here."

"Okay." Iris Crawford nodded, reaching out to touch Sarah Shaw’s hair. She didn’t know what point of resonance she had, but her nose felt a little sore. After chatting with Sarah for a while, she stood up with Lachlan following her. Lachlan spoke first, "Are you really going to the Federation of Zelaria?"

"Yes." Iris Crawford clenched her fingers, "There are still people suffering the same kind of pain."

"Do you know what kind of danger you’ll face, is it worth risking everything for unrelated others?"

Lachlan Wyatt’s voice was cold, each word hammering home on Iris Crawford’s heart.

Indeed, Iris Crawford’s creed has always been "take care of myself," regarding others’ fates, Iris Crawford used to be indifferent.

But why, this time, was Iris Crawford ready to take the risk?

At that moment, what flashed across Iris Crawford’s mind was Sarah Shaw’s expression of surviving the disaster when the door was first opened. This time, it was Sarah who was saved, but in the past? In the future? How many more would suffer?

"For the pure, innocent deep brown eyes of girls, I am willing to die."

Appearing on Iris Crawford’s face was an expression as firm and unmoved by others as a Valkyrie, cold, beautiful, and powerful.

She spoke these words without hesitation, effortlessly and openly laying her life bare for misfortune to take.

Lachlan Wyatt thought Iris Crawford was really too unrivaled. After being abandoned by her ex-husband, others would certainly get entangled with the ex in misery, yet she took her revenge and never looked back, as if her soul had long awaken, now it’s even more transcended.

She’s saving more than just herself, but also those of the same gender as her.
