The crew was stunned, with all eyes fixed on Tyler.

But to their surprise, Tyler simply stood up and stretched out his palm in front of them. There was nothing there, and Cole's claims about Tyler wielding a weapon were completely unfounded.

As the realization set in, people's opinions about the supposed leading man began to shift subtly. The fear that had gripped them just moments ago was replaced by a sense of disgust and disdain toward Cole, who had clearly been lying and trying to stir up trouble.

Cole's face was a mix of embarrassment and fury as he noticed the looks of disapproval from those around him. He pointed his trembling finger toward Tyler, his voice shaking with anger.

"That's impossible. I felt a sharp metal against my neck. You even asked me if I had a death wish and threatened to take away my life."

Tyler's face contorted into a wicked smile. With his new makeup and hairstyle, he looked even more intimidating. He raised his hand and waved it in front of Cole.

"Oh, I see. The metal weapon you felt must be my ring. The cross on it made you misunderstand."

‘The ring was eye-catching, with a skull design and a small cross on the index finger.

Tyler's long, slender fingers made it look all the more menacing.

Cole was left humiliated and unable to retaliate. He could only glare at Tyler with venomous eyes, his heart seething with resentment.

Francis interrupted, his displeasure evident in his tone, "You can't just scare the actors in your group like this and even threaten them, regardless of whether you have a knife or not. Do you want to interrupt the shooting of the crew?"

At first, Francis thought Tyler was meek and unassertive. However, as Tyler revealed his audacious side, Francis found himself intrigued by this young man.

But he was also wary of Tyler's potential to cause trouble. In Francis' opinion, people who stirred up chaos were the most detestable.

Tyler met Francis’ gaze with an innocent look.

"I didn't threaten him. That's just a line in the script."

Francis was taken aback, wondering if what Tyler said was true.

The memory of the script was still fresh in Francis' mind. He knew there were no lines about death threats in the first play.

Yet, Tyler's confident response surprised him.

"Of course. On the 120th page, the scene of the first head-on confrontation between my role and the lead role," Tyler said calmly.

The stage supervisor was quick to confirm it, handing the script to Francis.
