The archer felt that he had finally lived up to his expectations in the past few years.
It took him three years to transform from a feared mercenary group or … an executioner from an assassin's organization to a famous guitarist in a well-known band.
Too many things had happened in the Yafferk Snake over the past few years. Although it was filled with danger and he had lost many of his comrades, everything was progressing well.
The fugitives of the past were now living a decent life, a very decent life.
The archer really should have told his parents that he would soon be performing on the world's most famous stage.
Unfortunately, his parents had passed away a long time ago. His only family was his sister and everyone else in the mercenary group.
The archer was living a good life … except for the fact that he didn't have anyone he liked.
One had to know that the eight pillars of the Yafferk Snake already had a partner. His sister was already engaged to Leader Reyek, and Rona had long since gotten married to his lover. In a year's time, they would probably even have a child.
The Chaos Demon Swordsman, Morris, also had a lover.
Only the archer hadn't even touched a woman's hand, let alone a lover.
Apart from being beaten up by his sister!
Thus, the archer had another responsibility in this international singing competition, and that was to successfully break away from being single. To put it simply, he had to find someone he liked.
"I think you should focus on the competition."
Rona was speechless as he followed the archer into the public resting room of the contestants.
Today was the Shining Group's competition, so most of the people walking around the public resting room were servants and newcomers who had just signed contracts with the Magic Net Music.
"Only when you have a child will you say such things! And every time you recruit new people, they are all berserkers with muscles stronger than the leader. "
The archer grumbled about Rona's evil deeds, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.
"Keya? Where are you going? "
Rona had just taken a glass of wine from a servant's tray when he turned around and saw the archer walking quickly to a corner of the public resting room.
When he caught up with his teammate with a glass of wine in hand, he saw Keya stop in front of a girl with black hair and silver eyes.
"Hello!"
The archer tidied up his appearance and walked up to the girl.
He was not boasting. The Archer was very confident in his ability to strike up a conversation, and he was also very confident in his appearance.
It was a pity that his brilliance in the band was overshadowed by Morris' home court, but this time, the archer decided to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.
"H-hello."
Joshi was sitting outside the public lounge, waiting quietly. A makeup artist from the official World Singers received her warmly and said that she would get a suitable dress for her.
In the blink of an eye, her father also disappeared, so Joshi could only sit there quietly waiting for the makeup artist to come back.
In the end, the makeup artist didn't show up. Instead, a … strange man appeared.
"Miss, who are you waiting for?" Archers also had their ways of striking up a conversation. For example, they needed to be a little more 'wild' when striking up a conversation with a female mercenary in a mercenary guild. When participating in a noble gathering, they needed to be more courteous when striking up a conversation with a noble lady.
In the heart of the archer, the person in front of him was a little like a magic apprentice in the academy.
"I don't have the obligation to tell you. If you want to ask for directions, you can look for the attendant over there."
Although Joshi was a little flustered, she still maintained a relatively calm appearance. She pointed to the attendant behind the archer and said.
"Ask for directions? No … I'm just looking for … "Halfway through the archer's words, he saw … a figure that could only be described as terrifying appear in his sight.
"Unfortunately, sir, I'm afraid this lady already has a companion."
Josiah pushed open the door on the other side and came to Joshi's side.
Joshi seemed to have mistakenly thought that her father was trying to use an act to dissuade this unknown person. So, Joshi cooperated and ran to her father's side and gently held her father's arm.
"I … I didn't expect it to be …" The archer didn't know what to say at this moment. He looked at Rona in the distance with a pleading gaze.
Rona acted as if he didn't know the archer and was chatting with a female attendant with his back facing him. The female attendant was so amused by Rona that she covered her mouth and couldn't stop giggling.
The archer could also see the smile on Josiah's face. However, Josiah made a shushing gesture without leaving a trace. At the same time, he made a gesture of cutting across his neck with his index finger.
His meaning was clear enough. If he continued to speak, he might lose his life.
"Unfortunately, I still have something urgent to attend to."
The archer casually made up a nonsensical reason and hurriedly left.
"Father, he seems to be very afraid of you?"
Joshi looked at the archer's back as he left. She had a feeling that he was running all the way back.
"Did I?"
Josiah continued to play dumb. Joshi was still holding onto his arm. Unfortunately, Josiah didn't enjoy this feeling for long. The voice behind him caused Josiah's body to tremble.
"I think we should hand you over to the Noland Enforcement Team."
The moment she heard this voice, Joshi's reaction was even more intense than Josiah's. She turned around in surprise and saw her mother, Hiri, standing behind her.
"Mother!" Joshi immediately let go of her father's arm and walked up to hug Hiri.
"Alright … I feel like you've grown a little taller recently?"
Hiri rubbed her eldest daughter's forehead. Joshi's height was slightly shorter than Hiri's. She was already about 1.5 meters tall.
Josiah silently watched the touching scene of mother and daughter reuniting. Finally, Hiri let go of her eldest daughter and walked up to Josiah.
Hiri looked at Josiah in silence for a moment …
"The assessment for the Eighth-level Spell Caster certificate … I failed again."
Hiri said dejectedly … a topic that shouldn't be brought up at the first moment of a reunion between husband and wife.
"Uh, as expected. Did the purple-clothed man let you go after you failed?"
Josiah turned his head to look behind Hiri and saw the figure of Hiri's mentor, the purple-clothed man.
"I forcefully applied for a leave of absence today, mainly because the mentor was afraid that I would tear down the door of the Philosopher's Tower," Hiri said.
"The purple-clothed man, you … you … hello."
On the other side, Joshi became completely reserved when she saw the purple-clothed man. After all, the purple-clothed man was her mother's mentor and Noland's Sage. She could already be considered a grandmother, or should she be called a great-grandmother?
"It would be great if you had your daughter to worry about, Hiri." The purple-clothed man sighed slightly and walked up to Qiao Xi. He held Qiao Xi's hand with a benevolent expression. "This girl's magic talent has limitless possibilities in the future."
