Chapter 160 There Is No Foulest, but Only Beyond!
Luca was disappointed and dissatisfied as he didn’t expect that the votes he received for the song he had just sung weren’t as high as Harry’s. As a result, he entered the final contestant versus–contestant round with a strong fighting spirit, believing that he could outshine Harry.
With great confidence, Luca stood up first and made his way back to the stage. Similarly Harry confidently stood up and returned to the stage.
Both had their phones and Bluetooth carphones on. Since they couldn’t understand the language spoken in Slovance, they relied on Jodie and Simone to help translate from their phones.
The young female show host appeared on stage. Instead of allowing them to choose a song, she opened the computer and played a song in Corynthean language.
“To ensure fairness, you two will learn this song and perform it in half an hour. Accompaniment and the lyrics will be provided when you sing later.”
It was a song written by a resident singer in their bar, and it was exclusively for Corynthean customers participating in the singing battle.
If the contestants
were from other countries, songs in their familiar languages would be used, and songs in Interlingua would be used if they were from different countries.
Harry and Luca remained calm and nodded in agreement. “Okay
With that, the young female show host handed each of them a headset.
The two sat separately, attentively listening and learning the song.
Zac, who enjoyed the excitement, smiled and asked, “Who do you think will win this round? How about we make a bet? The loser will have to drink a glass of alcohol.”
“I bet on Harry,” Simone replied without hesitation. Unafraid of offending Gray Entertainment, she added, “If it weren’t for his previous company deliberately suppressing him and his manager intentionally giving him unsuitable songs, he would have achieved. success long ago. Today’s situation can prove his talent.”
“I also bet on Harry. Regardless of which aspects, his skills are better than Luca’s,” Zac echoed, agreeing with Simone’s statement.
Like Simone, he didn’t fear offending Gray Entertainment or Luca. Furthermore, he was stating facts.
Just then, Keira chimed in, “I have more confidence in Harry as well. He is highly skilled, and

Eric smiled. “I don’t know much about music, but since you all have faith in Harry, I shall bet on him too”
“Siner all of you are betting on Harry, I will follow suit, of course, Brandon said.
Deep down, he, too, had more faith in Harry.
However, unlike Simone and the rest, he was merely a newcomer and couldn’t express his opinion too frankly.
Seeing that everyone placed their bets on Harry, Zac couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re all betting on Harry. It seems like none of you want to drink.”
Sure enough, his remark sparked dissatisfaction among Luca’s fans.
At once, they scolded Zac for jumping to conclusions before the final battle even started. Simultaneously, they insulted Keira and others, calling them Simone’s followers and condemning them for joining in the discord between Simone and the Gray siblings and belittling Luca. They even declared that their baby Luca would certainly win the battle.
Fans of Simone and the others didn’t argue with them. They simply commented that they were waiting to see the results and who would be proven wrong.
In truth, anyone with a bit of musical appreciation could tell from the song they just sang that Harry was superior to Luca.
Can’t Zachy and his friends speak the truth? Many of Simone’s and Zac’s fans joined in, unafraid of intensifying the heated argument.
Zachy, no one at your table is going to drink, but the ones at the other table will!”
Zachy, rock the boat. Rock the boat!”
Zachy, hurry up and look to your side!”
Upon seeing the fans kicking up a stink, others also joined in.
They hoped Zac would stir up more trouble.
As for the man himself, he certainly didn’t disappoint. He turned to Aaron. “Hey, A–Bear, you probably will bet on Luca winning, right?”
Instead of swiftly responding to his question, Aaron cursed silently. To hell with A–Bear! Are we even that close c
this b’stard to call me like that? Judging from his smile, I can tell at a glance that he’s up to no good.

With a mirthless grin on his face, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Zac smiled and said, “We’re betting on the winner of this final battle, and the loser has to drink three glasses of alcohol.
“Everyone in both teams has placed their bets on Harry. So, who are you betting on?”
Aaron choked. I can’t just say it out loud, even if I secretly don’t believe Luca will win! “I have faith that Luca will win, but that doesn’t mean I have to bet with you guys.”
His remark made Aaron speechless. How dare he say I’m gutless! I am a tough guy! Annoyed, he glared at Zac. “F*ck off! You’re the one being gutless!”
“I dare you to place a bet then. If you don’t dare, it means you’re a coward and that you also. think Luca will lose.”
At this rate, Aaron wanted to punch him so badly. The way Zac put it, I will be seen as cowardly and thinking that Luca will lose if I don’t bet.
But then again, what choice do I have? Even though I know Zac is provoking me, I can only play along
Thus, he sneered, ‘Fine. I’ll bet. I bet Luca will win.”
In his heart, he prayed hard for Luca not to mess up. Come on, Luca! Try to win the battle! After tricking Aaron, Zac looked at Jodie and Leon, asking, “How about you two? Who are you betting on?”
Zac thought to himself, Great! I have successfully tricked another one.
Besides, I’m far from being a madam. Can’t he speak politely?
‘A real man. A true ma’am. Zachy, are you trying to crack me up to death so that you can take over my bank account?”
