"I hope you enjoyed that last song!" Sutoria proclaims, waving.

"YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

"Thank you! Thank you! Now, before the concert officially begins, a word from the sponsor of this surprise event. Please welcome Mr. Kennedy Wave!"

Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi! Pachi!

(Finally!) I think.

I look at my communication crystal. Figures Oren would cause trouble again! But no matter...

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

The time has come.

I make a gesture at the side of the stage to those in the audience who nod and ready themselves. Ken walks on stage.

"Thank you, everyone, for attending this concert. Diva-de has kindly agreed to hold this event as a fundraiser for the patients at Wave Hospit...!"

The three men I placed in the audience get up...

GA! GA! GA!

And fire.

BAAN!!

At that instant, the main entrance to the hall is slammed open...

And a blur dashes down the theatre stairs, past the bullets...

And stops in front of Ken.

GA! GA! GA!

The sound of the bullets hitting metal rings through the air. When I recollect myself, I see him.

Oren, deflecting the bullets.

(No...NonononononoNO!!!!)

The audience, screaming, stampedes out of the theatre at full speed.

"GET HIM!!!" I yell, pointing to Oren.

My men in the audience prepare to fire, with some of my other minions coming into the room as the fans leave. But before they do anything...

The room is covered in a sphere of darkness rhime.

I hear the sound of footsteps running towards the theatre entrance. And when the rhime clears...

Oren, Sutoria, and Ken are gone.

"DAMN YOU!!!" I yell.

I bring my communication crystal to my lips.
