As the music continued, the masked woman on stage perfectly merged her dance, vocals, and pandura playing with the Byzantine imagery illuminating the stage.
The woman on stage was like a goddess, absolutely breathtaking.
In an instant, everyone–both live audience and online viewers–was completely mesmerized.
Lester had been worried during the first part of the performance, but now he was totally blown away.
“Perfect transition! Two different languages, two different instruments, two different cultural styles, but using the concept of ‘journey‘ to connect them seamlessly! No wonder this song is called ‘Journey‘!”
Lester was already a huge fan of this singer, and now he was practically bouncing with excitement.
Even Charlotte forgot about smacking her annoying brother.
Hidden in the shadows, Arthur’s lips curved into a meaningful smile.
The live audience was in awe, and online, the people who’d been arguing before didn’t know what to say anymore, just typing in unison across the screen-
“Incredible!”
“So fucking incredible!”
“Besides incredible, I don’t know what words to express how I feel right now!”
“Playing it backward, absolutely stunning!”
For a moment, everyone forgot about the arguments.
But this wasn’t even the end.
Not even close.
As the stage lights dimmed, the masked woman flew into the clouds, and projections showed landscapes from another country.
Scene after scene of opera, images that had once captivated the world, appeared before the audience.

Then a woman in an opera gown appeared once again.
Her mask matched her outfit perfectly–this opera–style ensemble with her mask was an absolute perfect match.
She held a violin in her hands.
British style, English language.
The violin shrieked in the masked woman’s hands, delivering an unparalleled visual and auditory feast.
As the song progressed, Vivian went from relaxed to visibly distorted.
They’d all had rehearsals before.
But each contestant had their own secret weapons, as long as they could confirm compatibility with the
crew.
Plus, this was already the semifinals, so there were no more team divisions.
Everyone was fighting for themselves.
Vivian gritted her teeth, pulled out her phone, and secretly sent a message to Sebastian under the table.
Vivi: Last time you said you’d clear things up with the old man and that you could control Louie, so how’s that going? Why haven’t there been any problems with the live broadcast?
SesCavi: I’m not sure either. I told grandpa that Louie was messing around with that Elena woman and got someone pregnant, and the old man was furious. But when this whole thing with Amelia came out, I went to tell grandpa, and you know what he said to me?
Vivi: What?
SesCavi: The old man didn’t give a damn about it! He told me to focus on business instead of constantly tattling about my brother’s gossip! I’m so pissed!
Sebastian was also furious.
He’d thought these things were a sure bet, but somehow the old man, who’d always cared about this stuff before, was acting completely different.
What the hell had gone wrong?

Sebastian thought for a long time and finally remembered–it seemed like ever since that auction where Elena had talked to the old man, things had changed.
Elena!
Sebastian looked at the masked woman on stage, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Soon, another message from Vivian came through.
Vivi: I don’t care, figure it out, Sebastian. We’re in this together. If Elena succeeds, we’re both screwed!
Sebastian had wanted to get angry and argue back–he was still pissed about Vivian making him take the
fall last time.
But in the end, he just replied: Got it.
After replying, he headed straight for the equipment room with his people.
Nothing was faster than cutting the power.
This was already the fourth live broadcast. If Elena really made it to the finals…
And he felt like he had a mole among his people!
Otherwise, why would Louie always anticipate and block his moves?
With that thought, he snuck over to the circuit breaker himself.
Just as he was about to flip the switch, suddenly a fist the size of a sandbag came flying at his face.
“Ow!”
Sebastian got knocked flat on his ass.
Louie emerged from the shadows with a sinister grin, owing on his knuckles.
“I knew you’d try this move, Sebastian. This is all you’ve got,” Louie said with a cold laugh.
Sebastian immediately got up to fight back, but countless burly bodyguards emerged from the shadows. Outnumbered, Sebastian was stuck
“Hahaha!”

Seeing Sebastian’s twisted expression made Louie absolutely ecstatic.
“Brains, you know?” Louie taunted. “Stop thinking about cutting power and other bullshit, Sebastian. Use your brain.”
Sebastian rolled his eyes.
It was rich hearing Louie, with his explosive temper, tell him to use his brain.
“You just got lucky signing Elena. Without her, let’s see what you’d do!” Sebastian still wouldn’t back down, taking a shot at Louie.
“Then go sign someone yourself. Am I stopping you?” Louie said, rolling his eyes too, then had his trusted people keep watch.
“I’ve got charisma. You wouldn’t understand.”
Louie dropped that line and walked away.
Louie went to the edge of the stage, watching the masked woman perform.
He knew he was being stubborn, but Sebastian didn’t know that. Might as well mess with him–seeing Sebastian’s twisted face made him feel great!
Right now, the masked woman on stage had switched to the fourth country, Spain.
Accordion accompanying fiery tango steps, the masked woman in a red dress on stage managed to perfectly embody that romantic style even dancing alone.
Louie watched Amelia on stage.
This really was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity for hin
Previously, all of Amelia’s focus had been on Harrison Corp and the Visconti legacy. Only this collaboration, where she needed him, had given him this lucky break.
Louie checked his phone–the Cavendish Entertainme marketing team and Se7ven’s crew with Harper were going absolutely wild.
They’d thought this would be a tough battle, but under Amelia’s crushing talent, controlling the narrative was now effortless!
Louie put down his phone.

Thinking about online comments calling Amelia a dependent wife who couldn’t walk independently, someone who’d endure anything to keep her wealthy festyle, made him want to laugh.
The real situation was that whoever Amelia chose could rise to the top.
He, Louie Cavendish, was living proof.
He’d gone from barely scraping by in the shadow of his two older brothers to finally getting real recognition from grandpa. The only change was this collaboration with Amelia on Voice of Heaven.
