The two were just talking when a young man with golden hair plopped down next to Wang Hao and burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Brother, brother! Today was just too funny, hahaha!" Bill Bragg sat down and immediately wrapped his arm around Wang Hao’s shoulder: "Great news, it’s just fantastic news!"
"What’s so exciting?" Wang Hao asked, half paying attention to the stage: "Did you strike it lucky or something?"
"You knew, boss?" Bill Bragg’s eyes widened: "Exactly! I found a pretty big gemstone mine over in Africa! They say the reserves are about 600 million US dollars! My judgment was spot on, wasn’t it? Ever since I teamed up with you, my luck has really turned around!"
This guy’s luck isn’t half bad, finding a gemstone mine just like that?
"Not bad, not bad," Wang Hao looked at Bill Bragg and smiled: "So you won’t be short of diamonds now?"
"Not at all, not at all," Bill Bragg was incredibly pleased: "Boss, if you ever need diamonds, just come to me. As many as you want, treat them like mere glass shards!"
Gosh, why does that sound so comforting? Wahahaha!
"Not bad, not bad," Wang Hao nodded with a grin: "Then I really should take a look at that diamond mine if I get the chance, haha."
"No problem at all," Bill Bragg then noticed the rose next to Wang Hao and curiously said: "Boss, is this flower for Miss Ice Princess? It’s pretty nice."
"Nah," Wang Hao said with a cheeky smile: "Someone else asked me to deliver it, and they paid me quite a bit of money for it, too. Don’t mind if I do, hehe..."
Bill Bragg gave a big thumbs-up: "Easy money, boss, haha!"
Two bodyguards, sitting about three rows behind Wang Hao and his group, were closely watching him. They were incessantly sending WeChat messages—
Bodyguard: "Young Master, found that kid. He’s at the front row of the VIP section just below the stage. What’s the move?"
Wu Shiyuan: "Are you sure it’s the front row? Which area?"
Bodyguard: "Positive. He’s in VIP Section Three. Generally, those who can sit here are rich second-generations with considerable family assets. I saw Bill Bragg sit down next to the kid just now, they obviously know each other."
Wu Shiyuan: "Bill Bragg?! He’s actually sitting with that kid?! Could it be..."
Bodyguard: "Should we make a move, Young Master? After all, this area is a bit of a mixed bag... and this Bill Bragg is not someone simple..."
Wu Shiyuan: "Don’t rush it. Keep a close eye on them for now! It’s said that Bill Bragg is after Miss Ice Princess, he’s up to no good!"
Bodyguard: "Understood, Young Master... Young Master, Bill Bragg picked up a big bunch of roses, looks like he’s planning to present them to Miss Ice Princess! Not sure what that kid is saying beside him, but they seem pretty close."
Wu Shiyuan: "Planning to present flowers? He’s definitely come prepared! Here’s what you’ll do: find a way to sit behind them later, then look for a chance to push that kid onto the stage. Let’s deal with them one by one! It’s too difficult to mess with Bill Bragg since he has a big backing—focus on the kid first!"
The message made the bodyguard break out in a cold sweat—Good lord, this is like asking for a death wish...
Sabotage Miss Ice Princess’s concert, and once the fans identify them...
"How terrifying!" The bodyguard shuddered. The Young Master’s plan was brutal!
He was mulling this over when suddenly there was a muffled "bang!" and a spotlight went out.
Then, a series of "bang, bang, bang, bang" followed quickly, until all the lights around the stadium were extinguished. Seeing this, the previously thunderous cheering inside the stadium stopped on a dime, and an eerie silence fell all around.
The lights going out meant... the concert was about to start!
Immediately, someone led a loud shout, followed by a burst of screams as countless frenzied fans started crying out the name of the Ice Princess.
"Ice Princess! Ice Princess!" "I love you!" "Aaaahhhhh!!!"
Their screams pierced the sky, and Wang Hao felt with such a vocal range, they could hold concerts here without microphones.
Music began to play, and countless spotlights converged at the center of the stage. Then, dressed in lavish clothes, Ice Princess Bai Yaning slowly rose from the center of the stage. As soon as she appeared, she brought with her the melodious sound of her singing.
"Under the sunshine, bubbles shimmer with color. Just like me, deceived, yet blissfully so. Chasing what’s right or wrong, your lies, based on your love for me..."
With her song, the entire stadium of over eighty thousand people went silent, as if the stars themselves dimmed in comparison, leaving only her voice to fill the world.
If one had to describe her voice in two words, it would be: divine-level.
Her voice was clear and cold, her diction remarkably clear, finding a flaw in her singing was next to impossible!
Even though Wang Hao was already very familiar with her, as her singing began, he quickly became immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
"Maybe this is her charm?" Watching the captivating beauty that held everyone’s attention on stage, Wang Hao’s lips curled slightly, and he muttered unconsciously: "Our Momo is truly... perfect."
The song quickly ended, and the fans’ excitement exploded to its peak, filling the venue with endless cheers and screams!
Wang Hao clutched his ears tightly, afraid that if he listened any longer, he would have nothing to do with music for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, everyone." The Ice Princess stood at the center of the stage, and at that moment, she was like a goddess, simply standing there, her voice cool and clear. Yet Wang Hao suddenly realized, with surprise, that it was just her alone, her invincible aura actually managing to quell the cheering of the entire audience!
At that moment, she had transcended the realm of mortals and became a deity, a deity of music!
Perhaps she was born to be worshipped by people!
"Brother Hao, I can’t take it anymore!" Ren Xing was almost in tears, "Did you see that?! That’s the Ice Princess! The Ice Princess! Your very own kissy kissy coochie coo, for crying out loud!"
His heart was pounding—WTF, such an amazing person, definitely a goddess-tier persona, and he actually was her boyfriend!
At that time, the entire stadium erupted in applause. If it were any other singer, this would be the moment to desperately curry favor with fans, spouting some witty remarks or making some pleasing gestures, but Bai Yaning simply stood there quietly, gently lifting the microphone.
The whole place immediately fell silent again.
Bai Yaning surveyed the crowd, her cool voice resonating once more: "The next song, ’Ice Princess,’ is dedicated to everyone."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another round of screaming from the crowd.
It was as if everything had been rehearsed, when the prelude to the music sounded, the stadium once again fell dead silent.
"Amazing!" Wang Hao couldn’t help but exclaim, "What’s called dominance, I wasn’t quite clear before, but now I truly understand."
Wang Hao was right to be impressed. Today what he saw was the Ice Princess’s terrifying dominance in the music world!
A symphony orchestra-sized band began to play, and the fans were mesmerized.
At that moment, a fan wanted to rush up to give Bai Yaning a rose, but before he could even reach the security perimeter, a group of hardcore fans who spotted his intention pinned him to the ground and carried him out of the stadium.
Wang Hao watched with cold sweat—The United States President’s security isn’t even this fierce, right?!
Thinking about it, if Brother Hao were to go up and present flowers later...
For the following segment of time, Bai Yaning’s songs flowed one after another, with barely any interruptions other than costume changes.
Soon, when it was time for a song named ’Chasing Wind Girl,’ everyone in the entire stadium went crazy!
"Brother Hao, what are you thinking about? Get up and hype up!" Ren Xing, frenetically waving his hands, one holding a glow stick, roared, "This is the only song that Miss Ice Princess sings along with her fans!"
Damn, I haven’t even heard this song, how am I supposed to hype up...
However, Wang Hao’s ignorance of the song made no difference whatsoever.
At this point, the saying was proven true: a drop of water is inconsequential in the presence of the sea.
The more than eighty thousand people inside the stadium, plus the other hundred thousand or so who couldn’t get in, showed seemingly endless passion, all of them screaming along with the music!
Wang Hao watched, sweating bullets!
If the Ice Princess had been born in ancient times, she could have commanded with just one phrase— "Those who offend Heavenly power, though they be far away, will be punished," and probably none of the neighboring countries would have matters to address...
The Beacon who played with nobles was probably , right?
Just listen to those cheers!
The buzzing in his ears was so loud, the only thing Wang Hao could think at that moment was that the call to arms of his kissy kissy coochie coo was simply too damn terrifying. If his identity were ever revealed, he’d be crushed to pieces by his fans within minutes!
The song soon ended, and when Ice Princess Bai Yaning finished singing ’Chasing Wind Girl,’ the entire crowd stood up, and fans, practically in tears, screamed crazily, "Ice Princess! I love you!" "You’re mine to marry!" "Ice Princess, I want to have your monkeys!"
Wang Hao also stood up to applaud, conceding to the overwhelming atmosphere, but as he was clapping, he suddenly felt several heavy pushes from behind and was propelled, as if by cloud, towards the stage!
WTF! What’s going on?!
"Who the hell pushed me!" Wang Hao, now detached from the crowd, immediately covered his face.
Damn, if his face were to be seen by Ice Princess’s fans, he’d be doxxed for sure, and then the situation could become seriously good or bad!
"Brother Hao, catch!" Ren Xing, having cooperated with Wang Hao for so many years and understanding him well, threw the flowers directly to him, "Quick, take them or there’s going to be casualties! Bro, this is all the help I can give!"
"Thanks!" Wang Hao caught the bouquet, and at that moment he saw at least fifty security guards charging towards him!
Gosh darn it, for the love of...
