Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hailey performed ‘River Flows In You’ flawlessly. Even if an actual guitarist showed up, they may not be
confident enough to defeat her.
Connor, on the other hand, showed no signs of giving up.
To everyone else, he was just humiliating himself.
He disregarded the curious looks from the audience and strolled to the front of the instrument, where
he started his performance.
“Huff…”
Connor inhaled deeply and put his hands on the strings.
His mother once told him that once his fingers touched the strings, nothing else mattered because he
had to become one with the guitar.
“Why would he embarrass himself by going up there knowing he can’t win?” Maya couldn’t help but
grumble and pout.
Freya stood still, staring at him.
A sweet melody resonated at that time.
Everyone was perplexed after hearing Connor’s guitar piece.
“What kind of composition is this?”
“Yeah, why does it feel a little strange? Have any of you ever heard this piece before?”
“What is he playing? There are just a few dozen classic guitar compositions. How come I’ve never
heard of this?”
A middle-aged man dressed in a suit couldn’t help but make a remark, his eyes full of discontent for
Connor.
As a musician, he could typically identify any well-known guitar tune just by hearing it.
“He’s just a delivery guy, a poor loser. What good music could he possibly play?”
“I think he’s just playing at random! He wouldn’t really try to beat Hailey, would he?”
The people in the room started to whisper to one another.
Freya was perplexed since she, too, had not heard the tunes that Connor was playing. But she thought
it sounded lovely, like if it were telling a narrative.
Her face got solemn as she closed her eyes and absorbed herself in the music.
Connor’s fingers continued to pluck the strings, and his posture was firm at this point. He’d come a long
way from the timid version of himself he’d been. The guitar piece’s melody got more robust and
aggressive.
He wasn’t misleading anybody; he did, in fact, have little understanding of the guitar and wasn’t as
skilled as he was with the piano.
This was the only guitar piece he knew how to play!
And this was written for his father by his mother!
“What is it about this piece that makes me feel so good?”
“Yeah, it almost feels like it’s telling a story!”
“This piece may be a bit obscure, but it’s really enjoyable!”
“Could you please be quiet for a moment? I’m trying to pay attention!”
The crowd’s disapproval toward Connor had given way to bewilderment at this point. They got even
more surprised as his pace increased.
Freya was really taken aback. She had no idea that this tune would have such a powerful pull on her.
She felt she was already caught up in the music and couldn’t get out. Her emotions shifted in response
to the sound of the guitar.
Hailey remained still, staring blankly at Connor. She could see her performance was weaker to the
piece Connor was playing.
At this point, Connor’s performance was influencing not just the people on the third level, but also thosenovelbin
who were practicing on the first and second floors. They were all lured to Connor’s music and sat
quietly listening.
“What’s the deal with today’s Collective Strike?”
Suddenly, a man’s voice could be heard amid the crowd.
People were enraged when they heard this voice because they thought it was very disrespectful to talk
when someone else was playing the guitar. It would also have an impact on the performer’s state of
mind.
Some of the irritated audience members were going to scold the person who had just spoken, but when
they realized who had spoken, they all meekly stopped their tongues!
A young guy and lady emerged from the lower level at this time. The male was attractive, and the lady
was sexy and alluring.
They were holding hands and seemed to be quite close.
“Isn’t she the owner of Collective Stroke, Miss Kelly Turner?”
“Yes, who is that person standing next to Miss Kelly? Is he her boyfriend?”
“Impossible. Miss Kelly is regarded as Phillips Manor’s beauty. Numerous affluent young men have
gone after her, but she has turned them all down. How could she be with him?”
When the pair approached, the crowd, who had been listening to Connor play the guitar, began to
whisper.
“You better keep quiet. That guy is Adam Lawson, the eldest son of the Lawson family. If he hears you,
you’ll regret it!”
A girl cautiously reminded the others.
“Is he really Adam?”
“I thought he’d gone abroad. When did he return?”
The crowd got even more skeptical after learning the man’s identity.
Meanwhile, Zander approached Adam and said, “Adam, when did you come back?”
“Is that you, Zander?”
Adam offered a slight grin when he saw Zander and added, “I came back a few days ago!”
“Adam, why didn’t you tell us when you returned? I would have paid you a visit sooner!”
Zander spoke pleasantly, in contrast to his normal haughty approach.
“We’re friends, Zander. Why are you being so formal?” Adam softly waved his hand.

So, naturally, when Zander saw Adam, he wanted to be on Adam’s good side as well.
“Zander, what’s going on here?” Adam inquired, pointing to the people encircling Connor.
“This is my cousin Freya’s fiance, Connor. He is now competing in a guitar contest alongside Hailey
Jacob of the Jacob family,” Zander answered.
“Freya’s fiance?”
