Chapter 212 The Final Battle

noon.

The game is temporarily suspended.

The Paris Opera House began to clear the venue, and the staff and audience began to prepare for lunch.

All of a sudden, the restaurants in the nearby streets were overcrowded.

Although the semi-finals and the finals are two events, the number of votes does not include, but few of the audience who can come to watch live are short of money, so most of them are combined tickets, 80.00% of the audience in the morning and afternoon are from same group of people.

Paris suddenly became lively.

With the Champs-Elysées as the center, [-] spectators were scattered everywhere. No matter where they went, they could hear people discussing today's Isabella semi-final.

"The second match is not interesting, but the most powerful one is the first duel between the red face and the unicorn."

"Yeah, both of these two scored 97 points. It's like a fight between the gods. It's worth our trip."

"The Internet has exploded! Twitter is full of videos of red faces completing that piano piece in 40 seconds!"

"His "Flight of the Bumble Bee" is indeed a rare masterpiece."

The masses are discussing hotly, whether it is in reality or on the Internet, this game has been mentioned a lot.

Recently, a "trash picking challenge" became popular on Twitter. It is known as the coolest challenge in the world because of its public welfare significance.

As soon as Isabella's semi-finals were broadcast, the popularity of the "Trash Picking Challenge" that had been popular for several months was directly overwhelmed.

In the past, when I refreshed the homepage of the social networking site, eight out of ten videos were all about the challenge, but now when I refreshed, all of them were recordings of the match between the red face and the unicorn.

And by virtue of this shareholder style, it also unexpectedly set off a wave of "learning piano" around the world. Many netizens said that they directly signed up for the local piano training class at noon today.

At the same time, there is another thing that has become popular by accident, that is Huaguo's facial mask.

Red face, blue face, black face... various styles of face make-up are in short supply.

Because foreign stores rarely have this type of thing, most netizens can only find ways to buy from the Internet. Foreign online shopping is not as developed as domestic ones. It is not easy to find a favorite mask through Amazon and other e-commerce platforms. It was sold out.

This has also led to Facebook becoming a hot commodity, with a five-yuan mask at a stall in Huaguo selling for ten dollars in the United States.

In short, after the entire Isabella Competition is held, countless industries are affected.

This is a carnival belonging to the whole people.

……

At this time, a Chinese restaurant in Paris.

Room on the second floor.

He Xiao and Xiao En sat facing each other, with a pot of steaming tea between them.

Sean is a respectable opponent. Although he regretted losing this round, it is still undeniable that he will have a bright future in the future, and he is likely to become a rising top star in the European music scene.

He Xiao is not a fool, he also knows that network is a very important thing in the circle, many friends have many ways out, so after the competition, he invited Sean to have lunch together.

Both of them are people with extremely high musical attainments, and they have many topics in common.

"Do you want to know my real face?" After the dishes were served, He Xiao, who had always covered his face, handed the chopsticks to the other party and asked with a sideways glance.

Sean quietly looked at the red-faced mask opposite.

Although the same masks were everywhere on the streets of Paris at this time, he knew that the one in front of him was definitely the real one.

There must be no one in the world who is not curious about Red Face's true identity.

The competition has reached the final critical moment, only two people are left unrevealed, and the answers to the other mysteries have already been revealed one by one.

Blowfish is not Donald, but a player who hides his strength, and only ranks in the Top [-].

Therefore, comparing the entire top [-] list, among the capable players, only Donald and Martin did not show up.

Because Martin and Sean tied for the first place, Donald was ranked third on the official website at the time, but there is nothing wrong with saying that he is second.

Such two extremely powerful players seem to fit the identities of the clown and the red face.

Therefore, the general thinking of most netizens at this time is that the final battle is between Donald and Martin.

It's just that who is Donald and who is Martin is still uncertain at this time.

Xiao En remained silent about this rumor, and never fully believed it. Now when he heard the red-faced deity speak, he nodded.

He Xiao put his palm on the mask, and slowly took off the whole mask under Xiao En's nervous gaze.

In fact, the competition has reached the final juncture, there is no need to cling to the mask anymore, after all, no matter what the final result is, he will reveal his face in three hours.

So there is nothing wrong with He Xiao revealing his face in front of Xiao En in advance.

In a small elegant room.

When the red mask that dominated the arena and frightened countless opponents was completely taken off, Xiao En's eyes suddenly widened. At first, he was extremely surprised, and then gradually realized, revealing a wry smile.

"Oh it's you!"

The identity of the red face was indeed something Sean had never thought of. He was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "You lied to all of us."

"I never said that I was eliminated." He Xiao put the mask on the table, shook his head and denied Xiao En's statement.

He really didn't admit anything, everything was made up by the media and netizens themselves.

Perhaps it is in response to the phrase "Don't be afraid of the opponent being too strong, but be afraid of your teammates' brains".

He Xiao's identity was originally the easiest to expose, but because of the excessive imagination of netizens, he was eliminated out of the competition inexplicably.

As a result, no one thought that the red face was actually the person they should have thought of.

"Okay... Well, the opponent in the finals should be Martin, that guy is hard to deal with, he tried to bribe me before." Sean shrugged and said with a smile on his young face.

"How do you know it's Martin, not Donald?" He Xiao asked pretending not to know.

"Donald has been out for a long time, and he didn't reveal his face." Sean poured himself a cup of black tea, and after drinking half a cup, his comfortable eyes narrowed, and he praised with a thumbs up: "Seriously, you Huaguo The tea ceremony is much more powerful than the coffee stuff."

Sean is from the UK, and there are more people who like to drink tea in the UK. Afternoon tea is made by them. It has always been his dream to drink authentic tea once.

He Xiao actually doesn't know much about tea. Southerners like to drink tea to talk about business, while northerners like to drink and brag, so he can't get on with the topic of tea ceremony, so he thinks it's Xiao En who is flattering.

He responded with a smile, and then went on to the previous topic and said, "You said Martin wanted to buy you, so how much did he pay in total?"

"800 euros."

Sean's upper and lower lips trembled, and he read an answer that made He Xiao almost vomit blood.

This little bastard is actually so much more expensive than him...

It seemed that Sean was the most threatening person in Martin's eyes.

It's a pity that the weather was unpredictable, he didn't expect Sean to reject the temptation of 800 million, and he wasn't the one who made it to the end of the stage.

"Martin is too extreme. It can be seen from the fact that he can spend so much money to buy people's hearts. If he is not the one who wins the championship in the end, I think he will go crazy." Sean clumsily forked a piece of beef with chopsticks, and said seriously He exhorted: "He, I advise you to be careful, Martin's family is very powerful."

"This recording is for you, maybe it can help you."

After finishing speaking, Sean handed out another recording pen and handed it to He Xiao.

"This can't be..." He Xiao was startled, and quickly grabbed the recording pen and pressed the switch, and then a rough man's voice came out. Not surprisingly, it was the day when he tried to bribe him with a check in the toilet. What a laughing man.

In an instant, He Xiao's expression changed.

Because this is not just a recording, but also evidence that Martin bought the players!
Once exposed, regardless of the success or failure of the next game, Martin will be disqualified.

Sean sent such a precious recording to He Xiao at this time, almost confirming the fact that He Xiao is about to become the champion of this Isabella Cup.

He Xiao looked at Xiao En, who lowered his head and kept "forking vegetables" in his bowl, and was extremely shocked in his heart for a moment.

Heroes cherish heroes.

Sean was a worthy opponent and a worthy friend.

He Xiao held the recorder in his hand, put it down after a long time and asked, "There is your voice in it. You know that Martin is a lunatic, but you still dare to hand over the recording to me. Are you not afraid that he will retaliate against you after his ruin?"

"He doesn't dare, my father is a major general of the British Army." Xiao En calmly said something that made He Xiao almost bleed again.

No wonder Xiao En is so calm in the face of the temptation of 800 million euros, the feeling is that his family has this condition.

Thinking about it, the piano is not something that ordinary people can learn, especially for a skilled pianist like Xiao En, he must have been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and his family background must be different.

But this background is indeed a bit too scary...

Major General of the British Army... With such a prominent family background, Xiao En did not join the army, but became a pianist instead.

Sure enough, everyone has their own way of life.

He Xiao put away the recording pen, he was no longer worried about Sean's safety.

The British army is notoriously fierce, and its strength can be ranked among the top five in the world. It is also the army with the longest winning rate. In its heyday, it once ruled a quarter of the world's land area with one-thousandth of the world's land area.

With the backing of a major general of such a powerful country, Martin, a scion of a plutocratic family, really didn't dare to move.

After all, the Kroll family is not decided by Martin, and he still has an older brother who holds power over him.

While eating, He Xiao sighed silently. He felt like the chosen one in a novel, the protagonist in a TV series, surrounded by all kinds of ghosts and ghosts.

A trip to England and an Isabella competition really gave him a lot of insight.

The perverted son of the French chaebol family, the young master of the British general's family... These resounding identities are too far away from ordinary people like him.

He has lived for more than 20 years, and he grew up in the fireworks of the market. It seems that only Yanjing's fried belly pork Huangcheng root, Northeast's stewed vermicelli with pickled cabbage and radish, and Bashu's hot pot rice noodle Dandan noodles are real.

But when these unreachable things appeared around him, he could only be forced to accept it.

After having lunch with Xiao En, the young master with a prominent background, He Xiao put on his mask and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Shi Dachui and Bao Yuanyuan didn't stay in the private room, they ate in the hall outside, and returned to the car early in the morning to wait for nothing.

After seeing him come out, a group of people drove to the Paris Opera House.

Sean didn't go with He Xiao. After the recording pen was handed over to He Xiao, there was no suspense in this competition, so he didn't stay in Paris anymore, and directly booked a ticket back to London on the same day.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

The finals of the Isabella International Piano Competition have officially begun amidst much-anticipated attention.

After a noon silence for this showdown between the red face and the clown, the anticipation has reached its peak, and the whole network is paying attention.

When He Xiao entered the arena, the audience was already seated, and the clown was already standing at the entrance.

He glanced at He Xiao with gloomy eyes, then walked over and whispered in He Xiao's ear: "I don't care who you are, I will give you one last chance, 1000 million euros, to buy a champion!"

"I said, if you give me [-] million, I'll let you." He Xiao stood upright, chuckled lightly, and replied almost without hesitation.

The clown's already weird face darkened immediately, he snorted heavily, passed He Xiao, and walked towards his seat.

He Xiao shrugged and found his own way.

At this time, the huge stage was empty, only three or two staff members were doing the final adjustments, no one noticed the scene off the stage, even if they saw it, they would just regard it as two contestants greeting each other.

No one would have thought that this championship battle would have changed a long time ago, with all kinds of bribes and threats in it.

10 minute later.

The lights were turned on one by one.

With an order from the chief director, the live broadcast signal was connected.

The world-famous finals has finally begun.

Kami appeared on the stage, still using the same lines. After passionately introducing a lot of information that everyone already knew, he invited the two contestants to the stage amidst impatient shouts.

This time the stage layout has changed from before. In addition to the original piano, there is a new piano.

He Xiao chose the old piano on the left, while the clown took a fancy to the new piano.

"Hehe, let me play first in this round."

The clown gave Cammy an evil look, and then volunteered to be the first to perform.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the judges looked at the stage curiously.

Undoubtedly, it takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to take the initiative to ask for the first performance.

The clown can still do this in the face of a strong enemy with a red face. Could it be that there is some hole card?
For a moment, all eyes were on him.

He Xiao also sat quietly in front of another piano, wanting to see what tricks the clown could play.

"Everyone, the piece I'm going to perform this round is "Doomsday Rhapsody"!"

After the clown sat on the piano, his expression was much more serious than before, and his hoarse voice spread throughout the scene through the microphone.

When all the judges and contestants heard the announcement, they all changed color.

It seems that this piano piece has some great background...
