LOGINAs Charlie was instructed, he dropped his sword and held Quinn's face with both hands.She was still singing as the Maiden, reluctant to see the Assassin leave and intent on living out their days in secluded peace.Charlie pointed at the screen of the citizens suffering and gently pushed her away, picking up his sword and leaving without looking back.Quinn gave chase, hugging his waist and still singing—begging for him to stay, but he pried her hands away and continued forward in great strides.As instructed, he walked toward the screen and 'arrived' at the battlefield, where the Tyrant himself led the massacre of his own people.Another group of dancers took the stage, led by an enemy general, while the Tyrant stood behind his soldiers with a smug smile.As instructed, Charlie charged into the ranks of the enemy general's forces, cutting down everyone in his way and eventually claiming the head of the enemy general.There was a sharp pause, and suddenly, it was Tanya singing.
Charlie thought he should put up a good show since he was here, anyway.He just had to do what Quinn asked, and the rest didn't matter.The crew was ready on the stage, and many of them were distracted when Charlie appeared in his costume.However they imagined it, Charlie really had the appearance of an ancient warrior, and it looked to the crew like one had truly manifested.Naturally, it was not just his costume, but it was everything from his gait to his mannerisms. As a powerful cultivator, he was naturally very different from actors whose martial arts were at best performative, and that was what the crew immediately noticed.To avoid leaks, Quinn, Tanya, and Charlie were all given wireless mics. The choreographer then came and instructed them, "Once Ms. Golding's second song ends, we will be playing a behind-the-scenes video for a few minutes. Please quickly proceed backstage for the change of clothes. Tanya and Dancer One will be waiting in turn at the elevator."Charlie
The ladies were still talking as they emerged from the dressing room.Charlie had been waiting outside for a while and was caught off guard when both Tanya and Quinn glided outside in their traditional Oskian dresses.It went without saying for Quinn, who was an heiress born in Eastcliff and educated in arts and culture since a child. Her mannerisms were virtually the image of a noble maiden from olden times.As she strode toward the door, her gown seemed to flutter like a field of reeds against the wind. There was a soft chime as sculpted water droplets collided against each other on her hairpin, and she looked like she had walked straight out of an old painting, leaving Charlie stunned.With Tanya's blonde hair and blue eyes, Charlie had thought it would look strange for her to dress in a traditional Oskian dress. However, with her natural curls permed straight by her stylist, coupled with her Oskian headdress, most of the strangeness was gone, and there was even a fusion of bo
As Assassin was Quinn's last song, Charlie didn't enter the dressing room right away.Staying below the stage, he watched as the two ladies planned their exchange as they took the stage. Then, when the song was over, Quinn asked him, "Should we get changed together, Charlie? It's a costume check, and they've already planned a costume for you as well."Charlie nodded and followed them backstage, while Tanya's stage manager came up to them and said, "While Ms. Golding and Mr. Wade are going to change, there won't be anyone on stage. Just leaving the stage empty is naturally going to kill the hype, so the plan is to edit a behind-the-scenes video for five minutes to show how this performance was prepared."Tanya nodded. "Since the whole rehearsal was being filmed the whole time, right?""Yes," the stage manager nodded. "There are about six cameras that are kept on the whole time, so we just need to edit a portion."Tanya then turned to Quinn, "You should send a couple of photographer
Seeing that Tanya was absolutely flustered, Quinn giggled, "Oh, don't worry about it. There are plenty of other girls who like Charlie. It would be weird if the girls who have met him didn't like him, considering how perfect he is."Seeing that no one else was there, especially Charlie, Tanya mustered her courage and said, "I like him, but I think it's not exactly as you imagine. Other girls might be hoping to get together with him, but I wouldn't dare…""Why?" Quinn asked, curious.It was the first time Tanya had had a heart-to-heart with anyone, and so, she decided not to hide anything. "I've been involved in some complicated relationships over the years, and there has been plenty of coverage on that… Moreover, there was some dirty laundry that I had, which was soon exposed after I met Mr. Wade. Even though I didn't know better back then, I'm sure that someone like me isn't exactly that desirable in a relationship, so I wouldn't dare yearn for Mr. Wade to be interested."Quinn
The next day was the last of Tanya's Eastcliff concerts.The crew worked at full speed the whole day for final preparations, and as the protagonist, Tanya had the most responsibilities.She would be working with her crew to run through the full course of the schedule until it was muscle memory, making sure everything went on with precision and zero mistakes.Quinn had her work cut out for her, too—she was brought in at the last minute and had to liaise with Tanya's crew.She brought her own crew, too, as they had been with her when she performed Assassin before and had a plan for the backdrop and lighting tailored to the song, so they would be borrowing Tanya's equipment to replicate it.Moreover, the exchanges as they took the stage, including greetings, introductions, and call-outs to the fans, were also planned.They had just met, but the performance today and the other three after meant they had to look friendly, if not close, which would improve the vibe while on stage.In

At this time, there was a knock on the door accompanied by a young woman’s voice, “Chairman Cameron, Chairman Quinton from the Quinton family as well as Chairman White from the White family wants to see you.”Isaac was a little surprised as he said, “Why are Graham and Zeke here to look for me at thi

When Charlie saw that Jiro’s face was filled with tears, he patted his shoulder gently and said in a serious and earnest tone, “Jiro, if you work hard here, neither Albert nor I will treat you badly, then.”Jiro bowed repeatedly with immense gratitude, and he choked up as he said, “Thank you, Mr. Wad
