There was a saying that went, "The reason you can't see the darkness is because someone is standing in front of the darkness and blocking it behind them."
Wu Tong led more than 30% of Beijing's elite police officers and more than a quarter of the top secret agents. Coupled with Chen Guang's godly performance, they managed to kill the threat of The World Breaker in the cradle.
That was why this seemingly peaceful piano performance could continue. Everything seemed to be playing down, but in fact, if there was even the slightest mistake, all danger could not be strangled in the cradle before the performance officially began. If the eight bombs continued to be hidden like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After the incident, Wu Tong broke out in cold sweat. She had underestimated The World Breaker's madness.
According to past experience, although The World Breaker was trying to cause a ruckus in Beijing, they wouldn't simply kidnap civilians to create a terrorist attack.
In China, there was a saying that went, "Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far they are."
The World Breaker should know that if they really dared to blow up the building today, they would face the craziest revenge from the entire country.
But this time, they seemed to be really anxious.
Even so, they were still somewhat fearful.
Just like how they took the initiative to communicate with Chen Guang previously, it showed that they were still focused on negotiation, and their arrangements could be considered flawless. However, they never expected that Chen Guang would actually know the Tuburamuru language, which caused them to fail miserably. Fortunately, they managed to escape unscathed today.
Chen Guang sat at the back of the stage with his fists clenched tightly. He was thinking the same thing as Wu Tong.
Because of Wu Tong's optimistic estimation, he had let his guard down. He didn't expect the other party to make such a big deal out of it.
According to the report from the Security Bureau, if the eight bombs were to explode at the same time, the National Art Gallery might not be razed to the ground, but it would definitely collapse. At that time, the number of casualties would definitely be in the thousands.
He didn't dare to imagine that scene.
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
Mount Baral, right? I'll remember it.
This time, he really suffered an unexpected disaster. This matter clearly had nothing to do with him. Moreover, it was the World Breaker who had been looking for trouble and he didn't even take revenge.
But these bastards actually dared to put bombs in the crowd!
He could still remain calm in front of Wu Tong, but when he requested for the eight members of The World Breaker to be killed, he had already lost control of his emotions.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have interfered with Wu Tong's decision under normal circumstances. After all, it was Wu Tong's duty as the commander.
However, Wu Tong didn't know that he was still joking around and thought that he was really as calm as he pretended to be.
He had thought of telling Xue Lin about Mount Balar, since there must be a way to contact that fellow. But in the end, Chen Guang decided to hide this matter in his heart. Furthermore, he even informed Wu Tong before he left.
Unless the higher-ups decided to send a large force, he shouldn't send Xue Lin there to die.
No one knew what Chen Guang was thinking at this moment. However, it definitely wasn't a good thing for the Shattered World.
The five masters were still looking forward to getting 'Nightingale'. Nobody knew what Chen Guang was thinking.
Nobody thought that Chen Guang was bragging. Since he could organize this concert on such a large scale and put 1.2 million dollars in front of them without batting an eyelid, it meant that he could really buy 'Nightingale'.
Ravin Horde began to tap his fingers agilely on the table. Although he was already 60 years old, years of perseverance in playing and good self-care had allowed him to maintain abundant physical strength and excellent mental state.
He began to get serious. The other four were no longer his juniors. At this moment, in order to get 'Nightingale', he had already regarded the other four as his competitors.
In terms of fame, perhaps he would be more famous, but who could guarantee that Pires, Christina, and the other two wouldn't perform exceptionally well on the spot and play the most perfect music?
Fortunately, the songs I chose were all my specialties. Moreover, they all had a certain level of technical difficulty. If I perform normally, I have a good chance of winning today.
Compared to the other four, Ravin Horde had the most money. Although he also despised Chen Guang, US dollars were worthy of respect. Therefore, he chose 'Croatian Rhapsody' and 'Pathétique'. It was enough to show his respect and show off his skills.
Pires sat on the other side of the sofa. He was resting with his eyes closed. His face was expressionless. His slender fingers were slowly rubbing together.
He was trying hard to suppress his desire to laugh. He felt that he was very wise.
Recently, he had been practicing Maxim's adaptation of 'Flight of the Bumblebee', so he decided to choose this song.
As for the other song, he chose the relatively relaxing 'Nocturne in E flat major' by Chopin.
These two songs, one fast and one slow, were a perfect match. 'Flight of the Bumblebee' highlighted his skills, while 'Nocturne' could be used to enhance his artistic taste.
He was going to win.
Christina and the other two looked a little bitter. It was obvious that everyone wanted 'Nightingale'. However, the three of them had chosen their songs very casually. It was not a problem to use it as a commercial performance. However, now that the commercial performance had been upgraded to a competition for 'Nightingale', they had already lost half of their songs. It was a huge loss.
Be it Ravin Horde or Pires, they were not easy to deal with.
At this moment, Fang Tianyu, who had received Chen Guang's permission, knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
Christina glanced at the other four before replying.
Fang Tianyu pushed the door open and entered, only to find that the atmosphere between the five people in the room was not quite right. He himself was also at a loss. "Well, Masters, Mr. Chen asked me to inform you that although the tickets have already printed out the songs that you have chosen, you can change your songs at the last minute if you want to. You can try to choose the songs that you are best at. He will handle the audience's opinions."
"Ah? That works? "
Pires was the first to lose his cool.
Ravin Horde's expression also changed. He was a little unhappy. "What does Mr. Chen mean?"
"Uh, actually, I don't really understand. He just asked me to inform everyone. Uh, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. According to the order of the reservation, Ms. Christina will be the first to go on stage. Please be prepared. Oh, right, we have actually prepared a piano practice room in the room next door. Ms. Christina, if you want to change your song, you can practice there first. "
"Is there only one piano room?" The other two who had problems with the song selection hurriedly stood up.
Fang Tianyu's mouth twitched. "No, there are five piano rooms."
"Alright, let's go practice too."
"Hey! That's not very good! "Pires said with his mouth pursed.
"Hehe, Mr. Pires, it's rare for the five of us to gather together. It's good to have a fair competition. Even if I lose, I want to lose willingly. We are pursuing a higher art. The more we do this, the more perfect our performance will be! "
Christina was the first to run out as fast as she could because she was a woman.
She couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Everyone knew that she was the world's best performer of "Will-O '-the-wisp."
As long as she could perform "Will-O '-the-wisp" perfectly on stage, she would be unrivaled in terms of show-off skills. It didn't matter even if she made a slight mistake due to hasty preparation, because a complete performance of "Will-O' -the-wisp" was already a great achievement.
Although the video of Chen Guang playing the Top Ten Most Difficult Songs that he had posted on the Internet had caused quite a stir, and Christina herself had seen it before. She had even asked her students to analyze the audio track of Chen Guang's video, but she didn't take it seriously.
Judging from her professional perspective, Chen Guang's "performance" was too accurate. It didn't seem like it was played by a human at all. It was clearly a sound that was synthesized by the computer after the score was input into the computer.
This was because the Ten Most Difficult Songs performed by human fingers could not be as precise as what he had done in the video.
Therefore, Christina had reason to believe that the Huaxia Internet celebrity, Wright Chen, was "faking" the bullet!
Now that she had seen him in person, not only did her belief not waver, but it became even firmer.
He was so vain that he was willing to spend 1.2 million dollars just to get a chance to perform on the same stage as the five of them. It was all for the sake of fame.
How could it be impossible for such a person to fake the bullet?
The other four people's situation was similar to Christina's. No one really believed that Chen Guang had the ability he had shown in the video. It was too incredible and unreal.
It was fine to deceive beginners who had just learned piano to a certain level, or young people who were easily swayed, but to deceive us, sorry, you're not qualified.
After the three of them left, Pires and Lavin Holland couldn't sit still.
"Didn't anyone think that Wright Chen was actually humiliating us by bringing up this matter? Listening to what Manager Fang said, it seems like he has the confidence to beat us no matter what song we play? "
Pires' face was gloomy. He suddenly experienced a feeling of being looked down upon, which made him very angry.
Lavin Holland nodded. "How could we not understand? But it doesn't matter. He's just a young man who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He really thinks that being able to make a sound means that he has some achievements. He's not insulting us, but the piano! Okay, Pires, I've got to go practice my song. I really don't know what's going on, but I actually feel like I'm 30 years younger and my blood is boiling. "
Pires smiled. "Me too, Mr. Horde."
Lavin Holland grinned. "So, let's get serious and have a good competition."
At this time, in the art gallery outside, although the audience was slow to enter due to the cumbersome security procedures, as the time approached, the Huaxia National Art Gallery, which could accommodate 5,000 people, was gradually filled with people.
Everyone's seat was according to their number, and not many people cared about the eight empty seats.
In such a large gallery, the group of bald heads in the ordinary area was still so conspicuous.
Chen Guang's most loyal "die-hard fan," the bald president was still sitting in the middle of the crowd, gnashing his teeth fiercely. Grandpa, just lose for once!
The music guy that Chen Guang had met once on the plane had bought a VIP ticket in the innermost area. At this time, he was very conflicted.
Rationally, he hoped to see Chen Guang embarrass himself on stage. After all, Chen Guang had verbally "humiliated" his idol, Clayderman. He had also learned more about Chen Guang's "filth" from his teacher.
But emotionally, he had to tell himself that he could not think like that.
He's your savior, the unparalleled hero who saved 300 lives in a desperate situation. You have to maintain enough respect for him, or else you'll be ungrateful.
Teacher!
Mr. Clayderman!
I'm in a dilemma!
I'm in a dilemma!
