Chapter 162 She Will Completely Humiliate Him Then
As Luca’s long-time rival, Harry could easily discern his thoughts just by looking at his expression. “How ridiculous. A true music lover wouldn’t have so many hidden motives just. to win,” he thought to himself.
“Luca, why don’t you go ahead and choose? I will sing after you if you choose to go first, and 1 will sing first if you choose to go after,” he said respectfully.
Instead of voicing Luca’s thoughts and suggesting that he should sing first, Harry wanted Luca to say it himself. This way, Luca couldn’t use the singing order as an excuse if he lost later.
During his time with Simone, Harry had also learned many counterattack strategies. By expressing his respect towards Luca as a senior in the music industry and allowing him to choose first, Luca’s fans couldn’t curse even if they wanted to.
Luca originally wanted to wait for Harry to propose that he should sing first. To his surprise, Harry let him choose. Therefore, Luca accepted it bluntly.
With a smile, he said, “Since you have said so and even expressed your respect towards. my seniority in this industry, how about I sing first and show you an example?” Believing that he was stronger than Harry in all aspects, he carried himself with arrogance.
Such a demeanor further confirmed the concrete evidence posted online, stating that he was suppressing newcomers and acting stuck-up. Many commented that they never expected. Luca to be so arrogant.
Raising his hand, Harry gestured to Luca and said politely, “Luca, please take the stage!” With that, he completely pushed Luca to the highest position. “You’re a senior while I’m a junior. It will be quite a sight if I defeat you,” he thought to himself.
Luca was used to being arrogant, so he didn’t think much about these twists and turns. Instead, he believed that he had subdued Harry once again. He nodded at the show host, indicating that he was ready to start.
The young female show host first played the song for everyone to listen to once. After everyone had listened to the song, she explained the rules to them.
This time, everyone present didn’t need to press the red or green button first. Once Luca and Harry finished singing, they could press the green button to support Luca or the red button. to support Harry.
Then, she used the computer and played the song. She quickly removed the original vocals and only played the accompaniment. At the same time, the lyrics appeared on the large screen in front of the stage.

Without needing to memorize the lyrics and only learning to sing the song, it wasn’t difficult for Luca. He began singing along with the accompaniment while looking at the lyrics on the big screen.
The young female show host had chosen a sentimental ballad, which suited both of them. Luca sang well, indeed. One could tell that his level was that of a professional singer. After he finished singing, the bar erupted with applause and cheers, which boosted Luca’s confidence
even more.
He smiled at Harry and said, “It’s your turn!”
Smiling back at him, Harry replied, “Alright!” Instead of singing immediately, he took out his phone and opened a translation application. Then, he walked up to the young female show host and exchanged a few words with her. As she spoke, the young female show host nodded. along. Everyone was somewhat curious about what they were talking about.
Soon, the young female show host revealed the answer to everyone. “This guest has rearranged our song, and it is within the allowed range. In fact, he doesn’t need the original accompaniment and will play his guitar instead. Everyone, please look forward to his performance.”
Everyone was extremely surprised after hearing what she said. ‘Does Harry not think he’s getting too full of himself?’ ‘Not only did he memorize the song, but he also rearranged it in just half an hour?! Is he messing with us?’ ‘Harry is truly going all out to win, huh! But such behavior only makes him look incapable instead. Is he scared?’ ‘I had recorded a video when the young female show host played the original song. I will play it while listening to see if Harry really memorizes the song when he sings. I’m waiting to see Harry embarrass himself.
Luca’s fans kept mocking Harry in the live chat, saying they were waiting to see him get humiliated. Meanwhile, Harry and Simone’s fans were nervous and didn’t pay attention to them. After all, memorizing an unfamiliar song and rearranging it within half an hour was truly somewhat impossible.
After the young female show host finished announcing, Harry picked up the guitar he had played before and sat on the chair in the center of the stage. He strummed the guitar, and hist whole demeanor seemed to have changed. Then, he started singing.
Simone noticed that Harry was quick-witted. “Playing the guitar himself will highlight his ability to sing without accompaniment and his beautiful voice even more,” she thought.
As expected, his voice brought an ethereal feeling resembling the divine as soon as he started singing. He remembered most of the lyrics. Even if he forgot, he would glance at the big screen. He immersed himself in this song, pouring his emotions into his interpretation of it.
Even though the overall melody of the song remained the same, he added several brilliant. touches. For that reason, it suited his voice and style better, making it more emotional and vivid when he sang it. As a matter of fact, it gave a feeling of instant sublimation.

The whole venue fell silent, thoroughly engrossed in his singing. When the song ended, Simone applauded, causing many people to snap out of their trance. Immediately afterward, almost the entire audience joined in the applause. Many even cheered loudly.
Luca’s facial expression couldn’t help but darken when he saw such a sight. “I didn’t expect that Harry would not only learn the song within half an hour but also rearrange it! How is this possible?!” he thought to himself. The more he thought about it, the more he that Harry already knew this song and cheated in advance.
suspected
After Harry finished singing, the young female show host walked over and stood beside him. She even took the initiative to reach out and hug him, saying she enjoyed his adapted style. Then, she asked everyone to start voting by pressing the buttons.
The image on the big screen started to move. Everyone looked together and saw the red light column constantly rising while the green one received few votes. In the end, the red light column won with over 90% of the support votes. Judging from the voting results, not only did Harry win, but he also completely crushed Luca.
The young female show host congratulated Harry and announced that all the drinks at the table he sat at today would be free. This made Luca really unable to accept it, especially now when he was facing the viewers who were watching the live broadcast back in Corynthea. Losing like this was too embarrassing for him. Furthermore, it would affect his reputation. and status in the industry.
Therefore, he couldn’t help but glance at Harry and ask, “Have you really never heard this song before?” He believed himself to be a talented singer, but even he couldn’t learn and rearrange a song so quickly.
As a result, he doubted Harry’s ability to do so.
Furthermore, he also believed that Harry’s victory was simply a result of taking advantage of the adaptation.
Harry wasn’t surprised by Luca’s skepticism.
“Luca, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t. Whether you believe it or not, I genuinely haven’t heard this song before today.”
Luca clearly didn’t believe him. “Is that right?” With a slightly sarcastic expression, he continued, “In that case, it seems like you’re truly a genius among geniuses when it comes to songwriting!”
Harry graciously accepted the compliment. “Thank you for your praise, Luca!” Luca choked, his face filled with doubt and disbelief.
Simone was also unsurprised by Luca’s reaction as it was within her expectations.

3/4
After all, Luca had great confidence in himself.
He always believed that he was a talented singer-songwriter in the music industry and that only a few could compare to him.
Because of that, his emotional outburst intensified, especially when he faced Harry, whom he continuously suppressed and belittled.
On the contrary, Simone was somewhat taken aback by Harry’s performance and talent.
Indeed, Gray Entertainment has wasted his talent.
Since Sc”mbag No. 3 doesn’t believe Harry, I will completely humiliate him then.
That way, I can also let Harry thoroughly prove his strength and talent. After all, he is born to be in the music industry.
Simone stood up and made her way towards the stage.
