[The smoke that rises up into the air reflects my lonely shadow.]

[I’m just too nice! In the end, I have to experience pain and love.]

[Everything is just an illusion. Hatred is too hard to let go.]

[I’m getting obsessed with it. I will not change!]

[Am I angry? Am I sad? Am I insane? Am I a human? Am I a ghost? Am I a monster?]

[Is there a demon living in my heart?]

[I call out to Buddha, but there’s no way for me to go back! I call someone my master but the person did not care about my life and death.]

[This world is full of illusions! I can’t break the ties that I have to this reality!]

[Too hard to break.]

[It’s useless for me to have this iron rod! What can I do with my transmogrifying skill?]

[I still feel insecure. I’m still worried.]

[I just want to drop everything and leave this place.]

Chen’s voice had some kind of magnetic element. It was so different from his speaking voice. The voice managed to impress every single guest in this ballroom. It was so full of emotion. The way that Chen sang it managed to present the story of a person with all kind of skills, but the person still loses its way. Almost everyone had experienced something like this before. Thus, it wasn’t hard for them to drown in Chen’s performance.

[I want to use this iron rod to dance all night long.]

[I want to use my transmogrifying skill to create chaos!]

[Step into the sky and do whatever I want!]

[No one can escape from the bad things that they have done!]

[This hit from my iron rod will destroy you!]

Towards the end, Chen’s voice transformed again. The magnetic voice turned into a passionate and aggressive voice. The lyrics talked about the Monkey King who is so insane that he dared to destroy the buildings in heaven. He even dared to defy the Buddha themselves. All these lyrics reflected the struggles of those who would never give up and continue to fight for their path of success in the society. These people will be successful, eventually. Again, most of the entrepreneurs could feel the lyrics were talking about them. Especially those that sat in the VIP seats.

Nobody left, even after the song was finished. The whole place was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping on the floor would be heard.

*Clap!*

*Clap!*

*Clap!*

Half a minute later, Elder Han started to clap his hands. If one is observant enough, one can see that Elder Han was greatly touched.

*BOM!*

Everyone started to cheer and clap their hands.

"Oh my God! Mr. Chen’s voice is so good! It’s so good that I cried in the end!"

"I have listened to a lot of different covers for this son! This is the best cover so far! It’s perfect!"

"This is not even a cover! Mr. Chen manage to bring out the feeling inside this song perfectly! Mr. Chen is the original singer of this song!"

"I want the recording for this song…I want it so badly!"

....

The people from the upper society started to lose their minds. They became idol-crazed teenagers.

"Thank you, everyone! Forgive me if my performance is not that great!" Chen said calmly with the microphone in his hand.

"What!!! This performance is beyond great!"

"Mr. Chen! You are being too damn humble!"

"Overly humble can result in pride!"

...

Everyone is really hype.

"This kid! He is too unpredictable!"

Lan Zhengguo, Murong Tian and Wu Zhebang looked and each other and smiled at the VIP table.

"That voice is just simply the best! Xiaobei, you looked too damn good when you performed on the stage just now."

Lan Mengchen and Xiaoyao were completely charmed by Chen. Both them had rested their chins on their hands. They just can’t stop staring at Chen.

"Xiaobei, you are the best! Xiaobei, you are awesome! I’m so proud of you! Everyone, please don’t be jealous of me for having a brother like that! Hahaha…" Wu did not get jealous over Chen. All he did was to keep on clapping for Chen.

"I thought a modern song like this will never spark my interest. Mr. Chen just light up my interest towards modern song! From today onwards, I will be Mr. Chen’s biggest fans!" Elder Han smiled. His face was full of excitement. A simple statement like that had shown the highest appreciation from the most influential politician in Green Vine City.

Chen was smiling on the stage. He was not surprised that this will happen. Everything was under his control. The mastery of sounds allows him to manipulate the voice and used the best tone for each line of lyrics. Also, the charm that increased tremendously recently had made people accept Chen easily. These two factors were the reason for this hyped situation.

Yap and Daiyu had their heads lowered down. Those compliments and clapping were like invisible slaps that kept landing on their faces. They would rather look for a tofu and kill themselves with it than face this embarrassing situation.

Chen did not plan to show them any mercy. He held the microphone in his hand and said happily, "Master Yap, I remembered you mentioning that you want Daiyu to come and perform right? This will allow me to spot my weakness. Please invite him onto the stage. I will definitely be a good learner!"

"I…"

In the end, he did not manage to squeeze any words from his mouth.

"Mr. Dai, please?" Chen asked mockingly.

"Mr. Chen…You must be joking with me…You control towards voice had reached the top of the mountain! I’m the one that needs your guidance…" Daiyu was smart enough to admit that Chen’s voice is better than him. Chen had received so many compliments from the guests. He will definitely embarrass himself if he goes onto the stage and sings the same song.

After that, Chen did not pester Daiyu anymore. He turned around and asked Yap, "Master Yap, what do you think about my voice?"

"Great…Your voice is really great…" Yap frowned and said.

"This *sshole is so mean! He just lied about stage fright, forgetting lyrics and other shit! In the end, he just wanted to embarrass me!" Yap grumbled inside his heart. He wished he can transform into lighting and kill Chen, the arrogant bastard!

"Haha! Thank you so much for your compliment! Please donate more later since you enjoy the show so much!" Chen said happily.

"Donate…I will definitely donate more…" Yap almost vomit blood. He still needs to donate money to him after being embarrassed horribly. What kind of logic is this?!

"Haha! Our Master Yap is so generous! You should be the first one to donate! Let everyone witness your immense wealth!" Chen grinned.

"Alright…"

Yap’s face was completely twisted. It was like Chen just destroyed his balls. The first one that donates will become the center of attention. He will embarrass himself again if he donates too little money. And, donating a huge sum of money means that he is gifting Chen money to spend around! At that moment, Yap could definitely feel the ballache spreading throughout his body.

"Alright! It’s time to let you taste the best meal that you have ever had!"

Chen clapped his hands and Jing Fei started to order the servers to send out the dishes.
