Chapter 154: Only Idiots Would Play Tricks

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

It would be Melody, Lance, and the other's turn after the last group's performance on the stage.

That was why she brought them to the backstage waiting area.

The backstage was full of nervous people with pale faces, praying before they even start their
performances.

Of course, some people were just naturally afraid of performing in front of an audience.

On the other hand, Melody, Luke, and Lance were calm, which surprised the other people backstage.

Melody was sitting by the side with her headphones on and a black cap that completely covered her
small face.

Luke, who was sitting next to her, looked the same as Melody.They both sat on the ground with their
earphones on.

However, the only difference between them was that Melody was resting while Luke was on his phone,
playing games with Lance.

The three of them did not look as if they were there to compete at all.

They looked more like extras on the set, who were just there to watch the show.

Finally, the last group of performances ended and it was Melody's turn.

However, before they could go on stage, an unexpected piece of news came from the stage backstage.

The stage supervisor looked at Melody with sweat all over his forehead.He said, "Sorry, student, but
the sound system is broken.I reckon that it won't be fixed soon.Can your group sing a capella?"



"A capella?"

Without waiting for Melody to respond, Luke immediately shouted, "You want us to sing without
background music? Are you kidding me?"

The stage supervisor trembled in fear.He looked at Luke uneasily and carefully explained the situation.

"Luke, this is not something I can control.I'm really sorry!"

Luke grabbed the supervisor by his collar and was about to punch him.

But Melody just happened to stop him in time.

Luke turned around and looked at Melody with a frown.

"Boss!" Melody glared at him.

Then she asked, "Will you still listen to my words?"

With Melody’s warning, Luke could not help but let go of the supervisor in his hand.

He was so angry that he almost forgot that Melody had told him not to mess with them no matter what.

The previous group was able to finish their performance without any problem but Melody's group was
told that there was a problem when it was their time to perform.

Luke could not believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.

In his opinion, it was most likely that someone was deliberately sabotaging them.

And if they did not teach them a lesson, those people would not know how to show respect to others.

After Melody spoke, Luke believed that she knew how to deal with the situation.



Thus, he waited for her order.

Melody took a closer look at the stage supervisor.

When she saw his forehead covered in sweat, and his eyes not daring to look at her, she could already
somehow guess what was going on.

The more they did not want her to go on stage, the more she wanted to.

Did they really think they could stop her with such a small trick? What a ridiculous notion! Melody
turned her head to look at Lance.

Lance was more familiar with this school than Luke.

And Lance’s status as a member of the Harrison family also made him a little more comfortable in
doing things.

"Lance, go ask the teacher if you can borrow the teacher's microphone," Melody ordered.

Lance looked at Melody in surprise.

"Boss, will their microphone even work?" he asked.

Melody spoke softly, but people could hear the confidence in her voice like she knew that she would
win for sure.

"Go,"she commanded.

"Okay. I'll go right now!" Lance obeyed.

Once Lance's words fell, he ran away as fast as he could.



After all, they did not have much time left before their performance.

Everyone thought that Melody was crazy.

With the sound system broken, they could not believe that she even thought of using a teacher's
microphone.

Microphones could indeed enhance the sound a bit.

However, it could never compare to professional audio equipment when it came to its sound quality.

They believed if Melody used a random microphone to perform, there would be no chance of her being
successful through the auditions.

Everyone was waiting for Melody to make a fool of herself.

They wore expressions as if they were trying to watch a good show.

Melody was usually so arrogant in school.

Everyone thought that she was relying on Lance's reputation to show off and that she had no ability at
all.

As long as Lance stepped up to ask for help, the teachers of the school would not refuse.

Not only because Lance was popular in the school, but also because he was from the Harrison family.

Although Lance was not the oldest member of the Harrison family, his reputation as a family member
was enough for him to do whatever he wanted in California.

Lance was able to quickly borrow three microphones used by the teachers.He threw one to Luke, took
out one for himself, and handed one to Melody.



"Boss, let me put it up for you!"

Melody did not object to Lance’s offer.

Lance stepped forward and respectfully wrapped the microphone around Melody's waist.

Everyone looked at Lance's attitude towards Melody and could not help but raise their eyebrows.

Lance could be considered an influential person in their school.

The other students had long heard, that ever since a girl named Melody came to Class 8, Lance, who
had always been insufferably arrogant and cold, had changed.

The current Lance could be said to have become Melody's puppet.

Constantly running around, Lance served only one person, and that was Melody.

Rumors could easily be dismissed as fake, but if it happened right in front of your eyes, then it was
most definitely true.

Lance's respectful attitude towards Melody had shocked everyone today.

It seemed that he really had changed.

After Melody arranged the microphone's placement on her body, she glanced at her left and right side.

"Are you both ready?" she asked.

"Yes, Boss!"

Luke and Lance responded to Melody in unison.



Melody nodded and walked forward while Luke and lance quickly caught up.

As the three of them stood on the stage, they instantly took on the aura and momentum of a
professional band.

Although Melody and Luke were not very famous in their school, Lance was quite different from them.

The audience also stood up and started cheering when they saw them.

Reagan looked confused when she saw Melody, Luke, and Lance, standing on the stage.

Reagan glanced towards Christine in confusion, who then gestured at the latter, wanting an
explanation.

Reagan saw the small microphone on Melody’s waists and instantly understood what Christine meant.

A smug smile appeared on Reagan's face.

Looking at the microphones around the waist of the three people on stage, she was certain that they
would make a fool of themselves today.

Reagan simply thought that it was ridiculous.

Without professional sound equipment, there was no way Melody and her group would be able to finish
their show well with just three small microphones.

On the judges’ table, Zeke held a microphone in his hand while looking at the three people standing on
the stage.

"Do you want to use the microphone you're wearing around your waist to perform? That's a really
quirky way to do it."



Luke opened the small microphone on his waist.Then he said to Zeke.

"What are you saying? Do you know what kind of lousy sound system this school provides? It's broken
after just a few sets of performances! Where did you get the confidence to advocate that the equipment
that the school provides is of the best quality?"

This was really a slap to the faces of the members of the student union.

Before this, the student council had especially praised the school’s sound equipment on the publicity
posters.

They said that their sound system was comparable to the largest concert equipment in California.

No one had expected Luke to be so direct that he actually spoke out about it in public.

This time, the expression on the students’ faces had changed.

Zeke also could not sit still and directly asked the department head of the Theater Department
responsible for the equipment on the stage regarding this.

The head of the organization could not help but look at Zeke awkwardly.

"I just confirmed with the backstage that the sound system had truly malfunctioned earlier.But it has
been repaired just now," he explained.

Zeke nodded.

Then he picked up the microphone and looked at Melody, Luke, and Lance, who were on the stage.

"Since the sound system has been repaired, why don't you just use it? We don’t mind wasting a few
more minutes!" Zeke said.



Zeke's comment was really infuriating.

It was clear that the school's side did not prepare the equipment properly.But he was implying that
Melody and the others did not prepare properly and wasted everyone's time.
