Chapter 76: It’s Actually Sue Shiver
As the woman’s voice emerged from the video, everyone was stunned.
Sue Shiver’s fans, who were about to leave: ??!!
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
[HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, IT REALLY IS SUE SHIVER!!!]
[I’ve listened to Sue’s songs so many times, I could recognize her voice with my eyes closed. That’s definitely her!]
[My jaw dropped. I suspected it was her at first, but I never thought it would actually be true. Does anyone understand how shocked I am right now?!]
[No wonder Sue hasn’t been streaming lately. Turns out she was off doing something big with the military.]
[I originally thought Sue just had fans in the Seventh Legion, but I never expected her to have gotten on the inside, joined the Starbug war, and even cleansed the Starbug toxins!]
[Where are all those people who were barking nonsense earlier? Get out here and take a good listen! Who is this!]
In the video, a powerful, resonant song echoed through the stars, making one’s blood boil with excitement as one warship after another fired its Energy Cannons at the Starbugs.
The soldiers, no longer having to worry about the Starbug toxins, were all jacked up as if on steroids, launching an all-out assault amidst the woman’s magnificent, soaring song!
Under such a ferocious assault, the Starbugs were utterly routed.
This scene was just so damn satisfying!
The public hadn’t seen such a gratifying, cathartic, and thrilling video of a battle against the Starbugs in who knows how long. It was an absolutely exhilarating experience!
[Awesome, so awesome. Seeing the Starbugs get what they deserve is just incredibly satisfying.]
[I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so satisfying. However frustrated I felt watching the first half of the video, that’s how elated I feel now!]
[And especially this song! I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s just so powerful! It perfectly captured the soldiers’ indomitable, forward-charging spirit!]
[The quality of this song is on another level, completely unrivaled. This streamer is a total badass.]
[Quick, tell me her social media account! I’m gonna go follow her right now!]
[I apologize for my earlier negative comments. I shouldn’t have said the streamer wasn’t worthy. Streamer, you’re a god!]
[I hereby declare that from now on, this song is the official war anthem for the entire military! No one is allowed to object!]
[War anthem, war anthem, war anthem!]
[I demand this song be produced and released on StarNet immediately! I need to listen to it!]
A video released by an official source just blew up!
It was pinned high on StarNet, its view count soaring rapidly. Everyone who watched it came away feeling fired up.
The woman herself appeared on screen only briefly; the vast majority of the footage was of the battle. But her voice never stopped, running through the entire fight from beginning to end!
The official video ended, but the excitement it brought to the public lingered for a long time.
For a time, it seemed like everyone on StarNet was learning that song. Wherever you went, you could see related videos playing and hear the song in the background.
Many people even extracted the audio, added it as a soundtrack to various war-related videos, and it went completely viral across all of Karath’s StarNet!
Sophie Wexler finished watching the video and reading the comments below, then slowly blinked a couple of times.
She hadn’t expected her song to create such a huge stir on StarNet!
So that’s why those soldiers were frantically winking at her and telling her to watch when they left.
They wanted her to see just how many people now loved her and her song!
And the people from her platform had also started by frantically sending her messages, only to say later that it was fine. That must have been because they saw this video too.
Just then, several messages popped up on her communicator.
[Benjamin Wyatt: Sophie Wexler, tell Cillian Forrest to have the guards at the door let me in!]
[Benjamin Wyatt: Did you see my message?!]
Only then did Sophie Wexler realize that Benjamin Wyatt had sent her many messages.
Almost all of them were about work.
The last few were all telling her to get the door opened for him.
Sophie Wexler looked up at Cillian Forrest. "Did you lock Benjamin Wyatt out?"
"He’s too noisy," Cillian Forrest replied with utmost brevity.
Ever since they got back, the man had been berating them for taking Sophie Wexler into battle. What if something had happened? Who would take responsibility?
The artist he had just signed, such a promising talent, had been put in a dangerous situation just like that. How could he not be angry?
He was so angry he’d chewed out everyone he could grab. Ethan Cross, watching this, had broken into a cold sweat for his childhood friend, afraid the Marshal would lose his temper and beat the man up.
Fortunately, the Marshal didn’t hold it against him in the end. He just found the man too noisy, said he was disturbing Miss Wexler’s rest, and had him thrown out.
He then ordered that no one was to be let in without his permission.
Sophie Wexler, unaware of this, said to Cillian Forrest, "He’s here to see me about something. Let him in."
Upon hearing this, Cillian Forrest called out to the door, "Let him in."
His voice, imbued with spiritual power, carried clearly to the ears of those outside.
Hearing this, the guards outside retracted the Spirit Barrier and said to Benjamin Wyatt, "Please, come in."
Seeing this, Benjamin Wyatt snorted. "What was the point of keeping me out? He still has to listen to my artist in the end."
The guards at the door: "..."
Inside the room, Cillian Forrest’s Spiritual Power Level was high, so he had naturally heard the exchange outside with perfect clarity.
He gave Benjamin Wyatt a faint glance as he entered.
Benjamin Wyatt’s steps faltered slightly, his expression freezing for a moment, before he squared his shoulders and walked in.
’So what? He wasn’t wrong.’
’You’re the Marshal, but in the end, you still listened to my artist and let me in.’
Ignoring Cillian Forrest’s expression, Benjamin Wyatt walked up to Sophie Wexler and looked down at her. "How are you? Feeling better?"
Sophie Wexler hummed in affirmation. "I’m fine now."
"What did you need to see me about?"
Sophie Wexler knew he must be looking for her about work, so she skipped the small talk and cut straight to the point.
Benjamin Wyatt wasn’t the type to beat around the bush either. Once he confirmed that Sophie Wexler was truly all right, he began to succinctly lay out her upcoming work schedule.
"You’re still recovering for the next few days, so I haven’t scheduled much work for you. You just need to make up one livestream." It was for the one she had missed recently.
"Then, in a few days, once you’re fully rested, we need to go record those songs of yours on Monday. After that, we’ll start production and finally upload them to the StarNet music library."
"There are also a few film and TV production companies that want the rights to your songs to use as inserts. I’ve already vetted these, and they’re all suitable for collaboration."
Benjamin Wyatt held a stack of documents, continuing, "Also, the song you sang during the Starbug war has blown up!"
"Is that one of your originals, too? This song has huge momentum and will be very beneficial for your future development. We need to produce and release it as soon as possible! A lot of companies are scrambling to get their hands on it!"
Hearing this, Sophie Wexler lowered her gaze and slowly shook her head. "That one isn’t."
Benjamin Wyatt: "?? "
