Rather than making an instant decision, Ronin settled his gaze on Catherine, waiting for her to decide. Catherine knew what
Ronin meant. She turned on the clip mic and said coldly, No need. Let’s get started!”
Everyone was shocked. Previously, the audio equipment was broken, and they had no other choice but to use the clip mics.
However, it had been repaired. Why did Catherine still insist on using the clip mics?
How could she win then? Not only the audience but also the judges looked at Catherine in astonishment..
Faced with others’ confusion, Nash picked up the microphone and said to Catherine, “The equipment has been fixed. If you insist
on using the self- prepared audio equipment, we’ll still judge you with the fairest standard. Are you sure you still wanna
continue?”
It was quite savvy of him to say so. Clearly, what he meant was that even if Catherine and her team used the clip mic, their
performance would be judged with the standard of professional audio equipment.
While Nash was speaking, Catherine didn’t even take a look at him. With her head lowered, she just focused on fiddling with her
loudspeaker as well as Bryan’s and Ronin’s.
Nash was infuriated by her attitude. Originally, he didn’t want to target her team, but he felt that they were so arrogant that he
couldn’t help doing something against them.
“Catherine is fine with this. What about the other two? If you have any problems, you may just say it!”
Ronin arched his brows and looked at the one sitting in the middle with glasses, his face full of disgruntlement and disdain.
“Hey! What’s wrong with you? You just want trouble, right?” Nash looked at Ronin in confusion, not understanding why Ronin
lashed out at him. Before he could speak, what Ronin was gonna say next was like a slap in his face.
Ronin snapped, “You know we’re a team. Do you know what team spirit means?”
He pointed at Catherine in an imposing manner. “This is our leader. She just represents the three of us. We’ll stick with the clip
mics. Just cut it out and let’s get it over with!”
Bryan said nothing, but his facial expression showed his attitude clearly. That was, he was absolutely obedient to Catherine.
Sitting next to Nash, Elena felt overjoyed.
She had felt how displeased Nash was. She knew that the more arrogant Ronin was, the more people would dislike him.
Elena leaned on Nash and whispered, ” Nash, we all know you have a good heart, but these people are not worth it. They’re too
arrogant! This is so outrageous.”
Nash agreed with Elena tacitly, put away the microphone, and asked Catherine’s team to start performing. Catherine turned
around, approached Bryan, and said to him in a low voice,” Tune it down by one step. Can you do it?
Normally, people couldn’t accept adjusting the tone of the song at the last minute. However, Bryan was not an ordinary person.
He was a super-intelligent genius.
It was difficult to some degree, but he believed that he could make it for sure.
“No worries, Boss!”
The corners of Catherine’s mouth turned up. She gave him an approving look. She was never wrong about people.
The music came!
Ronin beat a key, followed by Bryan’s guitar sound. Although it sounded a bit weird with a key lowered, it was still fine on the
whole. A highchair was placed on the stage. Catherine was sitting on it leisurely.
Now, she didn’t look like a performer on the stage. Instead, she was more like a lady sitting in the bar, swirling the wine in her
glass and swinging her body to the music.
At times, Catherine was indifferent, cold, and bossy with a distant air. Meanwhile, she was also as noble and inviolably beautiful
as a goddess.
Nevertheless, at that moment, Catherine was looking down at the audience loftily with her eyes slightly narrowed. Her eyes were
unfocused, which were not fixed on anyone. She just glanced across the audience without hesitation.
An arrogant and headstrong temperament was discernible throughout her body. Besides, her drop-dead gorgeous face was
really heart-stopping.
Before Catherine even started singing, the audience’s questioning and disdainful voices gradually faded away as she was
brewing her emotions. Catherine covered her ear with one hand so that the clip mic could capture her voice accurately.
Her beautiful voice was clear and ethereal like the drizzling spring in the mountain. It sounded so nice that everyone got carried
away. They were all astounded. Never did they expect Catherine’s voice to be so beautiful.
Those who meant to give a few negative comments were rendered speechless with reverence for Catherine as soon as she
began singing.
Silence reigned on the place at once. Liana, sitting in the judge’s seat, gasped hard at Catherine. She didn’t expect Catherine to
sing so well.
Catherine turned out to have such an amazing voice. She didn’t even have to use any techniques. The moment she started
singing, her victory was half secured. The music went on, and the soft part was gone.
As the guitar sound sped up, the tempo became brisk. Sitting behind Catherine, Ronin also beat faster. Meanwhile, Catherine’s
singing became cheerful as well. The hall was deadly quiet just now.
Now, it was like the torrential ocean. The audience’s passion was ignited at the moment. Everyone subconsciously waved the
bars in their hands to beat the rhythm for Catherine’s team.
Catherine’s voice was quite brisk, which was totally different from how she seemed at times. Now, she was like a witch who
enchanted everyone present with extremely infectious magic.
The song didn’t last long, but when Catherine stopped, the audience was still immersed in her beautiful singing. They were still
subconsciously twisting their bodies. The audience didn’t come around until quite a while later.
Those who laughed at Catherine’s team and thought that they would definitely fail were all quiet now. Even some judges didn’t
come to their senses until they heard Catherine’s reminder.
“Can you announce the result now?”
Her cold voice jolted Nash back to reality. He stared at Catherine in astonishment and never expected that she could sing so
well.
Was this the so-called intellectual snobbery? Just because she was too talented, she stood above all? He disliked Catherine’s
character, but anyway, Nash had to admit that she sang exceptionally well. He looked to both sides and then said, ” Guys, do
you want to say anything?”
Elena seized the microphone at once. Amazed as she was, she just disliked Catherine and didn’t want to let the latter advance to
the next round.
