That formidable piece... actually had a more complex and completed version?!

At this time, Felice's lecture was being broadcasted live on the Internet.

At the start, there were only about thirty thousand to forty thousand online viewers.

It was a bit understandable since the lecture would tackle the field of traditional art, and he featured a traditional musical instrument that was not well known to most people.

The audience mostly consisted of people in the professional music circle, such as music producers, music teachers, students in the school of music, and so on.

“Wow! If I remember correctly, Mr. Phillips hadn't given any lecture for about two years!"

"Yes, that's correct. The theme of his previous lecture revolves around another famous piece--Immortal Sound of the West Sea!”

“Thanks to his effort in reviving the Immortal Sound of the West Sea, Mr. Phillips was appointed as the candidate for the next president of the Musicians' Association."

“Despite his outstanding contribution, Mr. Phillips is very modest. He said that there was someone else who greatly contributed in the revival of the Immortal Sound of the West Sea, and that he was just helping bring the work to the public's eyes. In the end, he even declined the honor bestowed to him to become a candidate for the president of the Musicians’ Association.”

“What? This is the first time I'm hearing about that. Are you telling the truth? Who else in the country would rival Mr. Phillips’ skills in terms of music? The Internet is so advanced. Why haven't we heard the name of that person before?"

While the live broadcast was ongoing, the netizens discussed their own opinions with each other.

But of course, they had the same outlook towards Felice. They all respected him, and some of them wanted to become like him someday.

Right before Felice's live performance, the number of viewers watching the broadcast suddenly increased.

Out of nowhere, on several mainstream media and streaming platforms, the audience seemed to have started a heated discussion.

“Do you think Mr. Phillips has already heard Maria's version of Ambush on All Sides? It's really beautiful!"

“I don't know if he did, but Maria's version is indeed very great. I've been a fan of her ever since I first listened to it! Art should be flexible and free. Some certain celebrity's fans are just too mean to appreciate it. I hope Mr. Phillips can listen to Maria's version and give a fair evaluation."

"Are you kidding? Mr. Phillips is already an institution in this industry. You want him listen to Maria's performance? This is just ridiculous!"

"Don't be such a closed-minded person. Mr. Phillips seems to be fair towards everyone. If he made a bad comment after hearing it, then that's it. But you can't dismiss something before it is even assessed. Otherwise, Maria will call you out for being a hater."

Meanwhile, because of Sarah's presence, the flow of her personal stream made the number of online audience increase steadily.

At the same time, Maria's fans also found the live broadcast of the lecture and couldn't help but watch it online. As a result, they soon quarreled with Sarah’s fans on the comments section.

In the music hall, Sarah was present, sitting at a VIP seat. But when she heard that Felice was actually going to play Ambush on ALL Sides, a strange feeling of uneasiness instantly rose in her heart.

Why would he choose to play that piece? Well, it must have only been a coincidence.

She was probably just too nervous.

It should be impossible for Maria and Felice to know each other.
