Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a while, Connor, Freya, Maya, and others arrived on the third floor, while Zander, Qahira, and others followed to watch the show.

After going upstairs, Connor, being a gentleman, allowed Hailey to play first.

Hailey didn’t hesitate and sat directly in front of the guitar, placing her hands on the strings, ready to start playing.

In her eyes, he was just a poor delivery guy. Even though he had defeated Justin on the piano, he could never be her match on the guitar.

So Hailey had a relaxed expression on her face.

As her fingers plucked the strings, a melodious and pleasant sound echoed in the room.

When she started playing the first piece, it was initially gentle and calm.

But everyone in the room wore expressions of shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

As her fingers plucked the strings faster, the originally quiet and peaceful melody became deep and passionate.

“Hailey is playing ‘River Flows In You’?”

Freya was the first to react. She covered her mouth and muttered in surprise.

“That’s right. It’s ’River Flows In You.’ I heard this when I was in university. 1 didn’t expect that after so many years, Hailey’s guitar skills would reach such a high level that she could even play such a song!” Priscilla replied in a low voice.

“Looks like Hailey really wants to beat Connor! It’s so cruel of her to choose such a song to compete against someone who didn’t know how to play the guitar!” Freya’s tone was filled with unwillingness.

She knew very well that if Hailey had chosen another song, Connor might have a chance at winning.

Hailey had no intention of giving Connor any chance to win!

“Is this River Flow In You very powerful?”

Connor couldn’t help but frown when he heard the conversation between Freya and Priscilla.

“Connor, are you joking with me? You don’t even know this song?” Freya turned her head to look at Connor and asked in a puzzled tone.

“I told you, I don’t know much about guitar, and I don’t know many songs,” he replied calmly.

“Even if you don’t know anything about guitar, you should have heard of ‘River Flows In You’, right? This song was the first of the top ten songs in Oprana!” Freya shouted helplessly.

“I have never heard of it…”

He looked at her and shook his head.

Looking at Connor in front of her, she felt helpless. She had thought that Connor was being modest when he said he didn’t know much about the guitar, but now she realized that he genuinely didn’t know or understand it.

Otherwise, how could he have never heard of ‘River Flows In You?’

The song was considered the number-one guitar piece in Oprana because of its high level of difficulty.

Those who were able to play River Flows In You were mostly rather famous guitarists. That was why Freya and Priscilla and others were so shocked when they learned that Hailey was going to perform this piece.

“It’s over. Connor hasn’t even heard of this piece. He’s definitely going to lose today!”

Although Maya doesn’t know much about guitar either, she can tell from the conversation between Freya and others that Connor was probably clueless about the instrument.

However, his expression remained unusually calm because he didn’t feel anything remarkable about Hailey’s performance.

The guitar emitted melodious and pleasant sounds. Hailey’s rendition of this piece was highly captivating, and in that instant, everyone was immersed in the sound of her tune.

Even Freya and Priscilla stopped caring about whether Connor would win this competition or not. They quietly enjoyed Hailey’s performance.

As the melody gradually accelerated, she became more emotionally involved, and her finger-plucking speed increased.

The music became more fluctuating, finally returning to calmness.

Hailey leisurely concluded the piece, then took a deep breath. After all, performing this piece in its entirety was quite physically demanding, so she appeared somewhat exhausted.

However, when she saw the astonished looks from everyone present, a proud smile couldn’t help but appear on her face.

Indeed, this was the scene she wanted to see. She wanted to amaze everyone with her guitar skills.

Today, she had indeed achieved that. Her rendition of River Flows In You not only stunned everyone present but also left them in awe.

Even Freya couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Even if she had personally played today, it would have been impossible to defeat Hailey.

After Hailey slowly stood up, she turned directly to look at Connor.

She thought that after hearing her performance, he would be so shocked that he couldn’t say a word, and he might even concede defeat. But to her surprise, he still had a calm expression on his face.

After listening to this piece, Connor seemed as if he had heard a very ordinary guitar composition, without any trace of surprise.

“Could it be that Connor really knows nothing about the guitar? I played ‘River Flows In You’ so perfectly, how can he have no reaction at all?”

She couldn’t help muttering in her heart, then shouted directly at him, “Why are you still standing there? It’s your turn now…”

“Is there a need to continue? Miss Hailey’s performance just now was basically perfect!”

“Yeah, I think you should just concede. There’s no need to continue anymore!”

“Miss Hailey’s talent on the guitar is truly unmatched. I advise you not to embarrass yourself further and quickly concede!”

The people present, including Qahira, Zander, and others, began persuading Connor to admit defeat.

But Connor seemed as if he hadn’t heard their words. He walked directly towards Hailey calmly and said, “Don’t forget, if 1 win later, you’ll have to kneel down and apologize to my girlfriend!”

“You…”

Hailey was greatly angered by his words. At this moment, he not only showed no intention of conceding but also believed he could win. She couldn’t understand where his confidence was coming from.

Even Freya and the others couldn’t understand. Things had already reached this point, yet Connor still believed he could win.. Such wishful thinking!
