Chapter 140: Soul Singer (Three Watches)
The concert was held in the Grand Theater on the second floor of the hotel, and when you came out of the elevator, you could see a huge poster hanging on the wall. In the poster, there is a handsome young man, the sea-blue broken hair is reminiscent of the blue sky and blue sea, and the young man faces the viewer with gentle eyes. From those eyes, it was as if his gaze could reach the depths of his soul. Allen's heart was shocked, and Adele next to him said, "You're also shocked, aren't you?" Who can have a pair of eyes like Edward, as if he could see through anything on your mind? β
Alan was shocked, but it wasn't what Adele said. He was shocked because this so-called soul singer was the same Maritan he bumped into before the attack on the Black Street a few months ago. At that time, Alan also built yì He went to the Old Oak Bar for refuge, and he didn't think that he would not see him for months, but he turned into a superstar?
Is there anything more bizarre in the world?
Before he finally came back to his senses, thunderous applause was already ringing in the grand theater. Adele's face changed, and she pulled Alan and said, "Let's go, Edward is going to play." β
Before entering the Grand Theater, the doors of the theater were closed. The lights on the dome and sides of the theater are extinguished one by one, leaving the entire space in darkness. When all the lights went out, a row of colored lights suddenly turned on, and beams of different colors hit the stage. As the lights moved, the band at the back of the stage played a cheerful tune, and a well-dressed presenter rushed out. After winning the audience with very fancy movements, he took off his top hat and put it on his chest, bowed to the audience, and said, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" β
"Tonight at the Venus Hotel we are honored to have Mr. Edward, the recently popular superstar and known as the soul singer, to sing for everyone. In just a few months, Mr. Edward swept Babylon with his unique voice and became a well-deserved idol among the younger generation. Many young ladies were also curious about the origin of Mr. Edward, who suddenly crossed the Babylonian sky like a meteor and moistened our depleted hearts with his singing. For such a legendary figure, I think everyone is as curious as I am. The host shouted, "Then at this moment, Mr. Edward, please." Tonight, I will unravel the mystery of our soul singer's life for you! β
Cheers erupted.
In the warm applause, the band's recital also reached a climax. Several intense pillars of light moved and swirled around on the stage, and then suddenly froze above the stage. On the stage, pieces of silver snowflakes suddenly fell, and a handful of clear sounds sounded like a natural sound that could hit the depths of people's souls. A young man in a silver suit slowly descended the stage in the snowflakes like a noble young master.
The appearance of the stage rendering power, coupled with his peculiar voice, made the people in the theater fascinated. Alan felt it more deeply, and the entire theater space, the source force resonated slightly. Circles of invisible ripples spread, as if dancing with the boy's singing. Alan was relieved that the Maritan himself had a magical power to affect living beings, and now fused this magical power into the song, it resonated with the souls of all listeners like hypnosis.
Of course, this kind of hypnosis is not strong, otherwise it is very easy to attract people's instinctive resistance. But because of this, people resonated with his singing voice, so much so that they gave this alien boy the nickname of a soul singer. The Malitan, who had already been good at singing, combined with his own powers, captured the minds and bodies of the Babylonian people with ease.
Even Adele next to her could hear her body swaying slightly, and she couldn't help but sing and dance. Eren had been taught his hypnotic methods before, and then encountered the dangerous species of the Twilight King Snake, which was good at influencing the mind. Now I have a certain resistance to the strange forces of the mind, but I am not like the slightest gaffe like others.
This strange atmosphere was maintained until Edward sang the song.
When his singing disappeared, everyone was still immersed in their hearts and minds, and it took a long time to come back to their senses. The theater was silent for almost a minute before the audience applauded.
On stage, the host asked Edward to step forward and say, "Mr. Edward, your singing voice is really touching. Can you tell us a little bit about how you got to sing? β
In the spotlight, Edward smiled shyly and said in the same clear voice, "I used to feel lost in my life, like walking in a labyrinthine neighborhood. There were roads on the left and right, but I didn't know which way to go. And where will this road lead? β
Alan couldn't help but sigh that this Malitan man was really talented in language. Within a few months, the language of the Earth had become very fluent. Listening to his description, Alan thought it was a little weird, it was almost like describing how he escaped from the Benjamin Chamber of Commerce that night, and then got lost in the complicated neighborhood of the Black Street like himself.
Edward continued: "Just when I was not sure what to do, I met a man. A man who completely changed my life, to this day, I don't know what his name is. I just know that he is about the same age as me. With short silver hair and bright red pupils, he was the one who guided me on the right path. It is no exaggeration to say that I can stand here tonight and sing for everyone, and he is the biggest hero! β
The host humorously said, "It seems that we have to thank this nameless boy, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to hear Mr. Edward's natural voice." β
In the theater, Adele tilted her head to look at Alan and said, "How do I hear people say like you, silver hair, red eyes, ......"
"Coincidence, coincidence." Alan coughed dryly, turned his face away, but said "huh", all because he saw an old acquaintance.
Daddy Ward at the Old Oak Bar was standing in the crowd in a suit and looking at the stage. He did change his outfit, the only thing he didn't change was the pipe on his mouth.
"I'll go away." Alan pointed in the direction of Old Ward and said, "That's an old friend, I'll go over and say hello." β
Adele's attention attracted Edward again, and he said without thinking, "Go, go, go." β
Walking up to Old Ward, Alan coughed dryly and said, "Dad, have you changed careers?" Don't open a bar and become the agent of a superstar? β
Old Ward reacted, and when he saw that it was Allen, he was also surprised: "This is not Bethcord's little master, we meet again." Hey, how do you know I'm Edward's agent? β
Because I called them. Alan said in his heart, but he said: "Intuition, pure intuition. β
"Your instincts are sharp." Old Ward patted his head and said, "Coincidentally, the night I met you, I went back to the bar." It didn't take long for this little guy to be chased by the Jemmin Chamber of Commerce and fled to my bar. I was about to kick him out, but he said a word. God knows how I could have believed it at the time, but in short, a series of dramatic changes followed. β
"Oh, what did he say?"
Old Ward blinked and said, "He said, as long as you let me stay." I can make you money, make a lot of money! Hell, looking at his eyes at the time, I actually believed it. But I bet on the right treasure, this little guy sang so well, and it was not in vain that I offended the Jieming Chamber of Commerce at that time. But now, the Jieming Chamber of Commerce is the majority shareholder behind us, and you say that sometimes the world is really incomprehensible. β
Alan was amused, it turned out that old Ward was looking into other people's eyes at that time. It's no wonder, then, that Edward must have used his psychic power again. Speaking of which, I also warned him not to use it on Old Ward, but I didn't think that this kid would not listen to persuasion. Fortunately, Old Ward was probably careless in the doorway, so he didn't throw Edward out on the spot.
In that case, the boy would probably only be able to sing in some noblewoman's bed now.
Things happen unexpectedly.
On stage, the host retreated, and Edward began to sing again. It's rare that Adele was not affected this time, she walked over, pulled Allen's hand and said, "We should go, the secret gladiatorial match is about to start." β
So they said goodbye to Old Ward, and Alan and Adele left the theater through another passage.
The two walked into the elevator and watched Adele press the light button to the top floor, and Alan was surprised: "I thought the secret gladiatorial competition would be held underground." β
"That's the Black Street, right? But this is Venus, and they usually hold some shady gambling tournaments on the top floor. Adele smiled, "On the top floor, they also have two small magic energy spaceships. The hotel has a pilot's license, and federal air traffic control does not control their heads. So guests can be evacuated quickly when needed. β
"That's privilege, privilege always serves a small number of people, doesn't it?"
As he spoke, the top floor arrived. Adele took Allen's arm and walked out of the elevator, and at the entrance to the gladiatorial arena, two rows of hotel security guards in black suits strictly guarded it. As you can see, not many people entered the venue. There are so many people in Lala, but everyone is well-dressed and personable, which shows that they are all people who are either rich or expensive.
Alan and the two came to the door, and Adele pulled out two invitations from her handbag. The person in charge of the gatekeeping was a man who looked like a supervisor, and he nodded at Adele and said, "Good evening, Miss Adele." You can go in. β
Adele happily pulled Alan up and was about to drill inside, but the director suddenly stopped Alan. The man frowned, looked at the name on the invitation and said, "This Young Master Allen, it seems that this is the first time to come to our hotel, I don't know which family you belong to?" β
Alan replied, and Adele said unhappily: "This is Young Master Allen of Bethcord, is there any problem?" β
The director said unhurriedly: "Miss, I'm just doing a routine. This young master is very naΓ―ve, and for the first time to participate in a secret gambling tournament like ours, for everyone's convenience, we usually ask some related questions. β
"For example, Master Alan can easily reveal your bank account. After all, in a game like ours, the minimum bet is one million. I'm sorry if you can't pay the minimum bet......" The supervisor spread his hands and made a helpless expression. R1058
