A pleasant sound quietly appeared in the hall at this moment. The tones started slowly, and they gradually picked up the pace.

All the people in the hall became stupefied as the melody blessed their ears. At this moment, Fein took the limelight. His fingers danced on the piano with inhuman dexterity.

With every tap of his fingers, the rhythmic sound layered with each other.

"This..." The audience was stupefied by the sudden change of the music. They looked at the man, who has his eyes closed while performing.

Everyone stopped and began to listen with bliss on their faces.

The tone of the music became higher and higher. Fein's hand at this moment turned into a phantom that regular humans won't be able to follow. His finger taps the piano keys with precision.

"This young man is good." An old man with red paint on his left eye has his eyes closed, as if enjoying the moment. He enjoyed the sound he felt that he became young again. While listening, he could imagine himself on the roof while stargazing.

The music at this moment gives the audience a different feeling.

Fein suddenly increased the speed and the momentum that he gathered exploded, which gave an intense sound.

The hearts of the audience pounded. The music gave them a vigorous kind of energy that made them inexplicably excited.

There's even a seventy-year-old A-rank old man that has his face flushed and clenched into fists.

"Did he compose this by himself? This is the first time that I've heard this... This man is a genius." The old man muttered. He could feel the brilliant arrangement of the tones.

The style of the sound transitioned from serene to heart-pounding sound in an instant.

The old man was a professional pianist and musician in his prime. He won several awards that made him known throughout the Southern region.

He only retired when he became older, as he could feel the fire in his heart that kept him passionate about music gradually extinguished.

Now, he could feel this long-lost passion start to flicker again.

Michael turned his head at Celine. "See... Do you think he was joking?"

"He was certainly good. How long has he been playing piano?" The always cold Celine had to admit that if she didn't suppress herself. She would have hummed loudly already.

"I didn't know when he started. Fein always gives us surprise with all the talent he possessed."

Hearing Michael's high praise, Celine was surprised. She knew that Michael rarely expressed his admiration.

"Well, let's just listen. His performance is worth a lot of gold coins."

Just like that, the music struck the hearts of the audience and strum their heartstrings.

The girls from earlier became even more fervent. Even some of the married women would constantly take a glance at Fein with their eyes shining.

"He really stole Michael's moment." Kiba felt envious when he saw how most beauties had hearts in their eyes. "Although I had to admit that he's really an excellent pianist."

"Shhhh..." Azazel stood on Kiba's side with his arm crossed in his chest.

Kate was also listening to the music calmly. The music soothes the previous negative feelings that lingered in her heart.

'I need to portray some calming yet heart-pounding melody for a good ending.' Fein was currently playing a piece of classical music from the Earth. And he instinctively knew that he was gonna like he had been doing it for a long time.

Fein envisioned a young man full of dreams in his mind. Then the scene changed. The young man was now kneeling with his mother in his arms, bleeding profusely.

He poured all the emotions he can by imagining the things he watched in movies from the past.

Thanks to his S-rank empathy, Fein could easily relate to or understand people's emotions and feelings. And he can portray them through his music, or any acts that he wants.

Fein's S-rank acting talent also synchronized. His facial expression became hopeful at first, to a face full of regrets. Yet, his voice wasn't shaky in the slightest. It even contains the emotions that he wants to give the audience.

In the corner, a family of three was listening with gusto. Suddenly, a little girl saw a tear escape from her mother's eyes.

"Dad, mom is crying. Why is she crying?" The little girl as a child was easily influenced, so she also felt like crying. Along with the theme of the music, the amplified emotions.

Just like that, the strong momentum of the music gradually faded. Fein took two deep breaths and ended the music.

When he opened his eyes. He saw people from different walks of life staring at him in a daze. Old, young, noble, and degu users alike had the same expressions that varied with intensity.

Fein was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his skills had reached such a level!

The hall was filled with pin-drop silence. Suddenly, a weak clapping sounded which woke up the people.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Like a domino effect, the people gave warm applause, one after another.

"Young man, thank you for your performance! You light this old man's passion!"

"Kyaahhh! I love you. Can you accept me as your wife?.."historical

Claps along with shouts of the people overwhelmed Fein, who wasn't in the slightest use to the attention.

Fein stood up in his seat and looked at Michael awkwardly to ask for help.

Michael shrugged as if saying, 'I can't help you this time.

Fein could only sigh and gave people the warmest smile he could muster. He was lying if he said that he wasn't happy. Although he was the type of person that usually doesn't care. He had to admit that receiving recognition gave him a feeling of floating in the ocean.

But he quickly shrugged off this thought. All this is just an illusion that would fade in time. He won't let anything distract him from his path to power. In this world, he doesn't want to live on people's expectations.

Fein won't adjust to the world, the world should adjust for him. It sounds really arrogant, but that is a life that isn't tiring. Can you eat people's recognition? Certainly not.
