Tokyo at this moment.

It was still very chaotic at this time.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was about to go insane.

Firstly, the pair of siblings from the Schulz family was kidnapped, and more than a dozen of their men were murdered. Secondly, the Takahashi family had found several human popsicles. And then, Machi’s son was actually burned alive inside the car!

Any one of these cases could easily be regarded as the criminal case of the year.

However, these cases were happening co

    Having no choice, Tanya could only fight back the blazing impulse in her heart, and soon redirected her focus on sharing the stage with Charlie.She suddenly had a bold thought—using her performance as an excuse, she could declare her love for Charlie in front of thousands of fans in this stadium, and even across the globe!Charlie was himself not worried about Tanya, his eyes glued to Quinn on the stage who was completely focused on singing.Even as he watched, he couldn't help but be impressed by Quinn's performance, as she always did, especially in front of Tanya's fans, an international superstar. The composure to neither overperform nor underperform definitely set her apart from the rest.At that moment, Charlie couldn't help seeing Quinn as more than his baby sister, but a strong, independent woman who was one in a million.Beside him, Tanya couldn't help being envious. She could see that while Charlie was good to his wife, he also spoiled Quinn rotten and she had an impor

    The atmosphere in the concert hall was charged—having two top artists from two different ends of the earth was as unprecedented as it was delightful.When they finished their duet, Tanya took Quinn's hand as they walked together center stage and bowed to the crowd.Smiling, she said, "Now, I'm leaving you with Quinn—do enjoy her charming songs."With that, she gave Quinn a quick hug, and walked to the elevator which brought her below stage, while the dozens of thousands of fans applauded.While Quinn started singing her first solo song that night, Tanya reached the bottom beneath the stage and her crew promptly flocked around her.They were all sweating buckets because of the opening blunder, especially the technical crew responsible, unsure of what Tanya would do to them.The stage director and the prop manager were the first there, watching her nervously and guiltily.The stage director then said, "Sorry, Ms. Sweet—it was my oversight and I didn't catch the issue before it hap

    Tanya and her crew were all sighing in relief, and even more surprised that such a huge mishap didn't affect the concert at all!Charlie was relieved too, as he couldn't help seeing Tanya in a new light now.Her personal life aside, her music was peerless and her songwriting memorable, which was why she always topped the Billboard charts around the globe.And over the hour-long performance, she never took breaks, each song followed by another with the dozens of thousands of fans singing along, livening up the atmosphere.Soon, it was time for Quinn's appearance, and she was already ready and waiting on the elevator.After her last song, Tanya started with her signature song Romeo, and the crowd cheered immediately from the prelude. They all fell for Tanya because of it, and it was definitely her breakout song.Still, as she finished her first verse, she spoke into the mic, "It's an honor to be here in Eastcliff and performing for everyone! And just for today, I've brought a spe

    The stage director thought Tanya was still love-struck over Trevor and cried out in panic, "The man is Stateside! His grace ain't reaching you!"Tanya still wasn't worried at all, instead calmly saying, "Just do as I say. I'll get through this!"The stage director was himself helpless, since the wire had already been cut—whether the screen tilted forward or backward, they couldn't be sure that Tanya was safe.It was indeed dangerous to continue as planned, but there was still a chance of perfectly executing their planned entrance.Hence, the stage director decided to bet on Tanya right then. "Just be safe. Hold on to the truss at all cost, and by the later half you'd be much safer…" he advised, and soon quickly added, "Also, remember not to stand up while the screen is coming down. Lean firming only the truss and you'll be the safest. Stand, and the risk will be high."Tanya completely ignored that.She knew that since Charlie wouldn't allow her performance to be affected at al

    Charlie couldn't care less and said, "Just do as I say. The wire is the issue—it's going to snap soon!"With just a thought, he projected a burst of Reiki and sliced off the wire behind Tanya.At the same time, he released more to catch Tanya and hold her steady like invisible hands.However, the crew thought Charlie was being ridiculous—they were using a steel wire that could hold over 800kg. So how was it going to snap?The stage director was naturally going to argue when they all saw the wire snap.His knees almost buckling from terror, the stage director cried out in despair, "Oh, it's over… It's all over! Mercy on Tanya's soul…"Tanya herself was still fighting against the wire when she felt the pull disappear, and screamed in shock as she fell forward at the truss.Fortunately, she hadn't started singing and the sound master had yet to turn on her mic volume, or the entire stadium would have heard her scream.Tanya then turned and felt her legs shake when she saw the wire

    Meanwhile, the backstage was pure chaos.They had meticulously prepared such a dramatic entrance, but if the wire didn't extend and pull her up, leaving her dangling mid-air, they'd be embarrassing themselves the world over.Heck, after they rescued Tanya, her performance would have yet to start when the incident made entertainment headlines around the globe.But given the present circumstances, it was almost impossible to save Tanya, too—her wire was attached to an electric winch.It was connected to a wired panel backstage, and the crew was scrambling to push the button to extend the wire.Usually, they would visually confirm the wire tightness and slowly extend the wire as Tanya descended, like how a rock climber would have a spotter adjusting their rappel.But now, for some reason, the winch was malfunctioning, and they couldn't tell if it was the panel, the machinery, or the power supply. After all, the design concept of winches was to stop dead when power is cut off to av

You don't have to keep saying the full name of the police department. You're just using up space and making it repetitive.
