Chapter 102 [Bonus ] 102 – Musical Battle
“So one of them is an arrogant veteran who cannot accept that the new generation is stronger than him, and on the other side is a youngster who takes no crap and does not care about offending a veteran?” The woman laughed as she sat down on the living room sofa and looked at us as if waiting to see what our reaction would be.
Although it seemed arrogant of her to act this way, I didn’t feel bad about it, because what I wanted to do was generate entertainment for my video, and if she found it interesting, wasn’t that just proof that I was on the right track?
Especially with her comments about Fedrick and me, it was even better news that I wasn’t on the wrong side of the argument.
“You’re early Lady Lila, I’m embarrassed to let you witness such a scene…” The bar manager who was arguing with Fedrick went to apologize to the woman who had just arrived.
But the woman didn’t seem to care. “Don’t worry, I’ve seen worse on my way to C rank, I’d only worry if I saw blood, haha.” The woman laughed, making me raise an eyebrow in surprise.
I had no idea that the world of show business was so crazy. Fights with blood were so common?
Even though my eyebrow raised just a little, the woman seemed to notice and laughed as she looked at me.
“Does that surprise you, boy? Are you thinking of giving up this career?” She asked with interest.
When I realized she was talking to me, I wasn’t intimidated and answered with a smile. “Afraid of fights? Pfft, if fights are the only obstacle on my way to S rank, I’ll even relax”.Reêad latest 𝒏ov𝒆ls at n𝒐v/e/l/bi𝒏(.)com
Hearing this, the woman stared at me for a few seconds in surprise at my answer before she started laughing again. “All right, dream big.”
Looking at her, Lila was a woman of about 30, with long brown hair and a body worthy of any woman in the entertainment industry, but the most striking thing about her was the cowgirl outfit she was wearing, which clearly indicated the style of music she sang.
Considering that this type of artist was more famous in the state of Texas, it was surprising to see a great artist like her with this style here.
“If you want to keep fighting, I won’t stop you…” She said smiling as she looked between me and Fedrick.
The two of us stared at each other, and while I maintained my confident stance as I stared at him, he became a little more intimidated as he stared back at me, having lost much of his confidence after Lila entered the room.
“But if you want to settle this as real artists, it’s easier to have a musical battle where the audience decides who’s better, isn’t it? Wasn’t this fight started because D Rank wouldn’t accept E Rank singing after him? So let the audience decide who’s the best.” She laughed as she looked between us.
A song battle wasn’t something completely new to me, but I was more used to it in rap, not in concerts of other music styles.
But I wasn’t afraid.
Hearing that this could be the method to decide who would be the best singer, Fedrick became more animated and confident as he stared at me with a smile starting to form on his face.
But Lila added. “I’m going to have two solo shows tomorrow for 1,000 people each and I don’t have anyone to open those shows yet, how about the winner in the public’s opinion could be the singer who opens my show tomorrow, of course, apart from the fee I can pay of $2,000 per show.”
When I heard that, both my eyes and Fedrick’s eyes lit up with anticipation.
For me, opening shows like this wasn’t that important as a form of promotion, since my songs on MeTube and Spokify already generated much more publicity than opening two shows for a thousand people each could.
But the idea that I could get $4,000 in one night was extremely tempting.
But for Fedrick, who didn’t have as popular a MeTube channel or Spokify account as I did, where he built his career by slowly singing in bars around the city, the opportunity to perform for 2,000 people was something that would advance his career by several months.
So in that moment you could see our eyes shining.
Jason took advantage of the moment to take even more detailed pictures of both of us, having decided that he didn’t need to hide the camera any longer, which caused Fedrick’s expression to become surprised and he looked at me with even more anger.
While my smile grew even wider, practically taunting him with my eyes and smile.
Even Lila had a big smile on her face, feeling that she had found the best entertainment for the evening.
Not only did she get something fun to watch, but she might also get a good singer to open her shows tomorrow.
“Are you two okay with this?” The manager asked as she looked at us worriedly.
“Yep.” I replied nonchalantly, looking at her.
While Fedrick just nodded without taking his eyes off me.
“So as soon as the current artist leaves the stage, I’ll go up and let you know what’s going to happen next. In the meantime, you two get ready for the show and come up together when I call. Since you’ll both be competing to see who’s better, we’ll alternate your time on stage and in the end the audience will decide who they prefer. She explained seriously, making me nod as I went to a corner of the room with my guitar and started talking to Selena to come up with a strategy.
Fedrick also went to another side of the room, and when his agent arrived, the look of shock on his face was priceless.
This made him look at us with as much hatred as Fedrick, especially Selena who only stared at him for half a second before looking away and ignoring him, which made the man even angrier.
