As Vincent finally revealed himself, a surge of intense emotions overwhelmed Jane. The deep-seated resentment she harbored against this man, the source of her past suffering, ignited within her. Almost instinctively, Jane's hand reached for the knife on the table.

The room fell into an alarmed hush as Jane rose from her seat, approaching Vincent with determination. She gripped his collar tightly and held the knife against his neck.

"Stay away from my King!" Speed moved to intervene, but Hanabi swiftly stepped in, capturing Speed from behind. 

Meanwhile, Jack, sensing the rising tension, pulled Alexander to a corner, shielding him with his body. Tatsumi positioned himself beside Jane, keeping a watchful eye on Jack. The room crackled with an escalating sense of danger.

"Should I protect and save him? Just give me the word," Jack whispered to Alexander.
