Pascal looked at the smiling staff member, and his expression under the cloak changed instantly. His forehead was already covered with sweat.
The surrounding guests who were waiting for the performance to start also looked at him.
"I … I have photophobia, and I can't be exposed to light," Pascal said in a low voice, secretly praising himself for being so quick-witted.
"I see …" The staff member looked a little troubled after hearing that. He pondered for a moment, and said, "Please wait for a moment, I'll ask the leader how to deal with this."
With that, he turned around and left quickly.
"Hey, hey, hey …" Pascal panicked instantly. Looking at the staff member who left briskly, he almost jumped up.
I'm doomed!
The staff member was probably newly recruited, and didn't know him. However, if Vicky were to come, she would definitely see through his disguise.
The scabs on his face from her scratches had just healed in the past two days. He didn't want to provoke that woman again.
However, after looking around, he discovered that 80% of the seats in the theater had already been taken. All of them were the most powerful and wealthy people in Rodu, so even if Vicky didn't like him, she most likely wouldn't attack him in a situation like this.
Furthermore, he was here today to negotiate with Vicky, so it wouldn't hurt to meet her face to face first.
Meg looked at this scene with great interest. He was also a little curious about what this woman was doing at the Black Cat Opera House today.
After a while, Vicky, who had changed into a black Lolita dress, walked out from backstage, and walked to Pascal's seat under everyone's astonished gazes.
"Is this the leader of the Black Cat Song Troupe?"
"Mommy, is this Miss Black Cat? She's so beautiful! She looks exactly the same as in the picture books! "
"Her dress is so beautiful. Hubby, I want one too."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll custom-make one for you when we go back."
The audience discussed among themselves. They didn't expect to see the lead actress of this opera before the performance started.
Although she didn't appear on the stage, her aura was still quite stunning.
Vicky frowned as she looked at the audience who was curled up in the corner with a black cloak covering their heads. However, she still said gently, "Dear customer, if you have photophobia, can you change into this slightly shorter cloak? That way, you won't affect the audience behind you."
Pascal looked at the cloak in Vicky's hand. He thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "No, I can't be exposed. I can only wear my own cloak, not other people's cloaks."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, Vicky's eyebrows were already raised like swords, and her eyes became sharp. She said coldly, "Indeed, you can't see the light of day. It seems that you've forgotten the pain after your wounds healed, and are here to ask for a beating again."
As soon as Vicky said this, the surrounding guests revealed curious expressions. It seemed that the head of the Black Cat Song Troupe and this audience member knew each other?
However, the way she spoke was really 'Miss Black Cat'!
Pascal's face under the cloak was covered in cold sweat, but he still said in a shrill voice, "You … Is this how the Black Cat Song Troupe treats the audience? I bought a ticket to come in! You … You're bullying me! "
"Heh, if it's a proper audience, we'll naturally welcome them warmly. However, if it's those b * stards who come here to cause trouble and pester us, we'll naturally welcome them with a stick." Vicky coldly said to the staff at the side, "Throw him out! The Black Cat Song Troupe doesn't welcome him! "
As soon as she finished speaking, two staff members came forward, one on the left and one on the right, and carried Pascal out.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! " Pascal's two short and fat legs flailed in the air as he shouted, "Head Vicky, I'm not here to cause trouble! I'm really here to watch the performance! Not only do I want to watch the performance, but I also want to discuss a business deal with you! "
Vicky looked at him coldly with undisguised disgust in her eyes. "I'm not interested in discussing any business with you, and I don't want to say another word to you!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you miss it, you'll never see it again in your life! " Pascal grabbed onto the back of a chair, and his face was flushed red from exertion. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm willing to merge the Marca Opera Troupe and the Black Cat Song Troupe! You'll be the head, and I'll be the deputy head. We'll be called the Black Horse Opera Troupe in the future, and it'll definitely be a hit! We have the best opera singers in Rodu, and they'll be able to enrich your performances. You won't be able to find them anywhere else! "
"Marca Opera Troupe? Is there a second opera troupe in Chaos City? "
"I thought an opera troupe was something very trendy. Looks like I'm ignorant."
"I know about that Marca Opera Troupe. Their performances are too boring, but their hypnotic effects are pretty good. I'll go and watch them when I can't sleep, and I'll fall asleep in no time."
"In terms of functionality, they're pretty good."
The customers were all discussing among themselves, and were very interested in the argument between the two of them.
Meg wanted to laugh when he heard that. This Pascal was really daydreaming. He still had the cheek to come to the Black Cat Song Troupe at a time like this, and even shamelessly wanted to be the vice-leader.
There were no professional opera singers in the Marca Opera Troupe. They were just a bunch of hooligans. He didn't know where they learned to sing, but they sang like mosquitoes as soon as they went on stage. They could sing people to sleep in no time, and no one knew what they were watching.
However, their courage was very commendable. Vicky would probably throw them out right away.
Vicky looked at Pascal, who refused to let go of the chair, and was so angry that she couldn't help but laugh.
"You're saying that you want me to merge with the Marca Opera Troupe first? And you're going to be the vice-leader? "Vicky asked Pascal.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm making a huge concession. It's enough to see my sincerity." Pascal hurriedly nodded, and said with a smile, "Think about it. I've been in Rodu for more than 20 years, and I have connections from the nobles to the commoners. Do you think people really accept opera so easily? Actually, it's all thanks to the Marca Opera Troupe that the Black Cat Song Troupe is where it is today. Now that the Black Horse Song Troupe has just started, if I were to run it, it would definitely reach a higher level! "
This time, even the seated customers were a little impressed by his shamelessness.
They had clearly come because of the "Miss Black Cat" picture book. What did it have to do with the Marca Opera Troupe?
It seemed that this fatty hiding in the cloak was really here to cause trouble.
"Throw him out. If he still refuses to let go of the chair, break that finger of his," Vicky said coldly. Then, she turned around and walked backstage without looking back.
The two staff members who couldn't do anything to Pascal reached out to grab his hand.
