Chapter 220 So What Would You Do?
When seeing Karen pointing at her and saying those words, Hevinia's face was filled with shock.
It was even more of a reaction than when he saw Karen's appearance before.
And Phoenix's face quickly darkened, his eyes full of anger: "What are you talking about?!"
"What's wrong, Phoenix? Are your ears not working well?" Karen looked at Phoenix with a squint. "No wonder, I heard that the place where your sister died was only separated from you by a piece of cloth, but you didn't react at all, and you are still dreaming about the rise of the Lawrence family... Oh? Are you trying to kill me?"
Phoenix's staff was already pointed at Karen's nose.
"You can try to say it again." Phoenix said coldly, "Do you think that if I kill you now, the Chuke family will stand up to protect you?"
Facing Phoenix's threat, Karen just laughed: "Indeed, the Chuke family will not protect me, and they will probably be happy to see you kill me. But is this really a good idea? If you kill me, will the Lawrence family still want to participate in this ceremony? Have you forgotten what the school rules are?"
Phoenix's eyes narrowed little by little.
"So, don't use that trick in front of me. I won't be scared by you." Karen stretched out his greasy hand, pushed away Phoenix's staff, and said leisurely, "Don't get angry easily and say harsh words. If you say harsh words and can't do it, everyone will know how much you weigh, Phoenix."
Hevinia saw that facing Karen's ridicule, Phoenix's hand holding the staff was trembling slightly.
It was the first time she saw Phoenix lose his composure like this.
It's clear that Karen knows Phoenix very well, and it's very likely that this conversation isn't the first time it's happened.
"Your self-control is not as good as that lady, Phoenix." Karen turned to look at Hevinia again, "I asked you to give her to me, and she hasn't even turned hostile yet, but you got anxious first."
"Miss Hevinia is my guest." Phoenix said coldly, "I will naturally protect her."
Although he said this, in reality, Phoenix had already put down the staff.
"Yes, yes, protection." Karen said, "I just want to sleep with her, what's the point of talking about protection or not? Don't you think so, Miss Hevinia, are you willing to sleep with me, tonight?"
To be honest, this was the first time she had met someone like Karen since she had acquired Helvinia's identity.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cullen..." Hevinia answered politely while choosing her words, "I don't have such thoughts."
Although it was politeness, Helvinia deliberately added emphasis to her tone to express the anger she was suppressing.
After hearing what Hevinia said, Phoenix stood up again.
"In that case, there is nothing to talk about." Phoenix said coldly, "Karen, don't think that we have to have you. Even if the Lawrence family does not receive the Lord's grace in the end, we will never abandon my guests. Our previous agreement is over. Let's go, Miss Hevinia."
Having said that, Phoenix was about to leave.
Hevinia also felt that this meeting was quite different from what she had imagined, so she followed Phoenix.
However, before the two of them left, Karen started laughing behind them again.
"Haha, interesting, really interesting. Phoenix, I really like to see you pretending to be so. Do you think there are no smart people in this world except you?"
Phoenix stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Karen said with a smile, "When I invited Miss Helvinia to bed just now, you didn't stand up. Instead, you waited until Miss Helvinia rejected me and expressed her unhappiness before you spoke up. So you are also expecting it in your heart, expecting Miss Helvinia to agree to my request for the sake of the ceremony, so that she would be willing."
"Do you think Miss Hevinia will believe you?" Phoenix looked at Karen coldly, "You just think that everyone in this world is as disgusting as your face."
"Yes, my face is indeed disgusting, but so what?" Karen was not angry, and just laughed, "I have Jinyin, I am from the Chuke family, even if my Jinyin is painted on my abscess, even if the Chuke family does not want to recognize me, it cannot change the fact that I am born superior. From a certain perspective, we are the same, I have a dirty face, you have a heart... Haha, don't look at me like that, you know it doesn't work for me, I have been seeing this kind of look since I was a child."
As she spoke, Karen drank the entire cup of hot chocolate in front of her, then licked her lips and said with a smile.
"Okay, enough joking around, let's get down to business."
"…A joke?"
"Yes, it's just a joke, a small revenge for making you wait here for almost an hour." Karen said lightly, "And you know, Phoenix, who I hate more than a hypocritical guy like you. Do you think I can really be interested in the chips you offer me? No, no, no, there has always been only one reason why I am willing to join you."
He paused.
"Don't let the Chu Hakka family get the grace, that's all."
This sudden turn of events made Hevinia a little confused. She subconsciously looked at Phoenix, and then found that Phoenix was also looking at her.
On the surface, this was Phoenix asking for her opinion.
But the fact that they were already asking for her opinion was enough to show what Phoenix was thinking.
So, Helvinia tilted her head.
"Then... let's start?"
Thus, this unique self-introduction ended like this.
What happened next was not discussed in the restaurant. Phoenix took the two to an empty classroom, where there were four other performers, three men and one woman, all of them Yinyin.
Obviously, this is Phoenix's orchestra, and the timbres of the other four performers are among the best in Silver Sound.
However, after seeing the three people coming in, the four silver sound players still saluted them respectfully and nervously.
The little girl's reaction was the biggest, she stammered and couldn't even finish her sentences.
Hevinia also noticed her name - Molly.
There are less than two months left until the ceremony.
One month is used for preparation and one month is used for selection to choose the orchestras that are eligible to participate in the ceremony.
Of course, for an orchestra consisting of three golden medals, there is no selection process, so the time they have to prepare is only two months.
During these two months, all the band has to do is select the most suitable repertoire, and then continue to practice and trial and error.
The suitability of a piece of music is related to the golden tone, because each piece of music relies on different notes. Music with a gentle and melodious style relies on the front notes, while music with a fierce and uplifting style naturally requires the back notes to play.
The notes possessed by Phoenix, Karen and Hevinia correspond exactly to the three different types of music: low, medium and high.
So how to choose is the primary consideration.
Hevinia naturally had no idea about this, and she remembered that Phoenix had already chosen the music before, a bass song centered on him.
But when Phoenix took out several prepared scores and circulated them among everyone, Hevinia was surprised to find that they were not the ones he had chosen last time, but some pieces that were more inclined towards high pitch.
In other words, Phoenix took the initiative to hand over the core position of the orchestra to Hevinia.
Hevinia couldn't help but glance at Phoenix, and Phoenix gave her an encouraging look, as if to say "I believe you."
However, this level of psychological offensive obviously had no effect on Hevinia, and Hevinia quickly figured out the reason.
Tupac is dead, and Karen is obviously not as good as Tupac. In this way, the probability of the Lawrence family winning grace has been greatly reduced, so it is better to focus on Hevinia than to focus on himself.
Because high-pitched songs have always been the most difficult to play, but are also the most favored by the Lord of Holy Sound, historically, the probability of high-pitched songs receiving grace is significantly higher than that of low-pitched songs.
Therefore, the Lawrence family decided to hand the ball to Hevinia, the only high note in this ceremony.
It seems that the Lawrence family is really being pushed into a corner.
Hevinia thought to herself, but she naturally wouldn't say it out loud. Instead, she waved her fist at Phoenix and whispered, "I'll try my best!"
Karen just watched, and apart from making a few strange laughs from time to time, he didn't express any opinions. It was obvious that he didn't care at all whether the band was centered around him or not.
But if Jinyin doesn't care, it is impossible for Yinyin not to care.
Because no matter what song you choose, the three gold tones will not move, but the silver tones are different. Different songs require different silver tones to match, and the silver tones are not irreplaceable.
This was even more obvious during the first day of practice, when the four silver-tone players all had different performances due to the different pieces they were playing.
This naturally brought them great pressure, so when the rehearsal was over, the expressions of the three gold-tone players did not change much, while the four silver-tone players were already sweating profusely, and the girl named Molly could not even stand steadily.
But they couldn't rest yet, because the final decision had not been made yet. They looked at Phoenix nervously. Phoenix was holding the ten high-pitched music scores that he had just practiced in his hands, frowning as he thought about something.
After a while, he put down seven of them, held up three of them and said to Hevinia, "I think these three are the best. What do you think?"
Helvinia smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
"I see." Phoenix thought for a moment, and then made a choice that surprised Hevinia.
He smiled and handed three sheets of music to Helvinia.
"Then I'll let you choose."
Suddenly, four pairs of eyes fell on Helvinia, causing Helvinia to be stunned: "Me?"
"Yes." Phoenix said with a smile, "You are the center of our orchestra, so it is natural for you to choose the music score, and..."
"It's up to you to decide who stays."
…
When the practice was over, Hevinia walked out of the classroom holding three sheets of music.
Hevinia was indeed a little surprised that Phoenix chose to leave the decision to her, but not too surprised.
Because Hevinia realized that this was just another attempt by Phoenix to show his kindness to her.
Maybe it was to dispel what Karen had said before, or maybe it was for some other reason, anyway, Hevinia could feel that during today's practice, Phoenix conveyed the message "I value you" to Hevinia more than once.
Whether it was selecting the music scores or leaving Yinyin's stay in the orchestra to her, it was all for this purpose.
It's as if...
"He thinks you're the mistress of the Lawrence family." Bai Wei's voice suddenly rang out, "I wouldn't be surprised if he kneels down and proposes to you on the day the ceremony is over."
Bai Wei's sudden remarks made Hevinia's hands tremble involuntarily.
After all, Bai Wei hadn't said a word the entire day, and he hadn't even made any small gestures to hint at anything, as if he had completely disappeared.
"Can you speak now?" Hevinia asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, haven't you left the teaching building?"
"Teaching building?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said, "The power of the Lord of Holy Sound comes from the music and everything related to the music. So in the teaching building where everyone is preparing for the ceremony, the concentration of His power is too high. I don't even dare to breathe loudly inside."
"...Do you still need to breathe?"
"That's not necessary." Bai Wei suddenly sighed, "Ah, I will never cooperate with women again."
Hevinia was slightly stunned: "Why?"
She thought she had done something to upset Bai Wei and was about to ask and apologize.
But before she could ask, she heard Bai Wei say faintly, "Because there are always guys flirting with you, whether it's that Phoenix or that heavyweight named Karen. Damn it, when I was in your body, I felt like those guys were flirting with me, I thought I was back in the Rhine."
Bai Wei's words made Hevinia freeze in place.
She never expected that Bai Wei's reason would be this.
After a long while, she asked, "Then I should be more careful to avoid it next time?"
"Hmm..." Bai Wei nodded Hevinia's head in a thoughtful manner, and then said seriously, "I think it's okay. Next time someone looks at you like this, go up and poke his eyes out."
Hevinia: "..."
"It's just a joke." Bai Wei said with a smile, "By the way, don't you think it's interesting?"
"What?"
Bai Wei tapped the three pieces of music with his fingers.
"Now, you can also decide the fate of others." He asked with a smile, "So, what will you do?"
Before Helvinia could reply, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
It's Molly.
