Vincent really was famous in his profession.
If one asked, he was a household name.
But Robert had never asked about who the best hypnotist was, so it was only recently that he’d caught wind of Vincent’s status, and how regular people couldn’t buy his services.
Because he’d helped a lot of people, not many had the guts to provoke Vincent and kidnap him or force him to do something.
With status and connections, when Robert found out about Vincent and how he never helped others easily, he’d been a bit nervous.
But his father had said that Vincent was more reliable than others, so he decided to try.
When he sent his own people out, Robert had sternly told them to treat Vincent with respect.
If Vincent was willing to come over, that was all well and good.
If he wasn’t, then Robert had to find some way to persuade him in person.
As for forcing Vincent or trying to buy him out, he’d never even thought about it.
But when Vincent saw his people, he actually agreed to go back to D City without hesitation.
Vincent’s reply had been so quick that Robert couldn’t understand why.
Only now, hearing Vincent say this in opening, he understood that it was because of his father.
“My father saved your life thrice? I though, with your status, nobody would dare move against you.”
Vincent seemed to recall something. His smile was faraway, and his tones waxing.
“I’ve known your father for almost forty years. I’m a lot older than him, but even when your father was young, he was a bigshot. At that time, I hadn’t gotten famous yet, and I didn’t have the reputation and status I do know. Back then, I was someone everyone could bully and step on. But also back then, I got to know your father. When I was in danger several times, he spent a lot of effort to save me.
“I’m over a decade older than him. I should have been the one to go in the dirt before him. Fate really is unpredictable.”
Vincent thought of the past for a while.
He looked at Robert, nostalgia in his gaze.
“You look like your father. I can see his silhouette on your face. But you weren’t close, and I thought I’d never see you again. Then you came to me of your own volition. Why all of a sudden? I feel like it’s got something to do with your father, even though he’s been gone for a long time.”
“My father left me a letter that I only read recently. He mentioned you in his letter. I have something I need your help with.”
“What, do both of you like doing this sort of thing? Your father was extreme, arrogant, and selfish. Back then, when I did what he wanted, I didn’t agree. I have status and ability, but I’m not willing to casually destroy someone’s memories and help them with immoral things. But then your father had a great life with Miss Allen, and I found that Miss Allen had had a painful life before. I still don’t know if I did the right thing or the wrong thing.”
“Mr. Poole, has my father ever mentioned my mother to you? You knew him earlier, before he was with that Miss Allen. I think you knew my father by then.”
