Chapter 74: The Wire Rope
Although Lauren hated Quinn’s venomous tongue, she still clapped along with the fans.
In order to have a better effect, Quinn even changed into the ancient battle costume he wore during the advertisement. The fans cheered even louder.
“Humph, if you knew how venomous Quinn is, you definitely wouldn’t like him!” Lauren complained in a low voice.
The staff on the stage was helping Quinn put on his equipment.
Lauren saw a woman standing by the side of the round stage. She had her hands in her pockets and was dressed in an extremely smart work outfit. She was staring at Quinn on the stage.
The equipment had been put on and the protective equipment had been set up. The staff was checking the equipment one last time.
Suddenly, Lauren swayed. Fragments of images flashed through her mind. There was panic, noise and blood.
She felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. She held her breath and focused her mind, activating her ‘prophet’ function.
In the thirty-two seconds’ images shown in the ‘prophet’, Quinn was brandishing his sword in the air. Suddenly, the wire rope broke, and Quinn fell straight to the ground. His handsome face was covered in blood.
Lauren snapped back to reality, and her face was filled with anxiety. It was almost too late!
Quinn had already prepared himself, waiting for the wire rope to hoist him up.
Lauren wanted to shout to stop all of this, but the surrounding fans were shouting so loudly that her voice was completely drowned out.
In a moment of desperation, Lauren stretched out her index and middle fingers and pointed them at the sky, drawing two circles.
Quinn’s feet had already left the ground and were slowly rising. The fans excitedly shouted the slogan and constantly chanted Quinn’s name.
Lauren closed her eyes and quickly chanted an incantation.
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the distance. A few seconds later, there was a thunderous boom that shocked everyone present.
The sound system suddenly emitted a sharp sound. Then, all the lights in the venue dimmed and the sound system stopped.
Quinn had only risen by less than half a meter. The staff quickly went up to check and found that the power was out.
The host quickly used the backup loudspeaker to explain the situation to the people at the scene. The staff on the round platform had already helped Quinn to land.
“Dear fans and friends, I’m sorry. The power was suddenly cut off at the scene today, causing our activities to stop midway.”
The fans let out disappointed voices, but there was nothing they could do. Under the guidance of the staff, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Lauren did not leave. She waited until most of the people had left before she went to look for Quinn with Ben.
What happened today was definitely not a coincidence, according to Lauren’s prediction, Quinn fell when he reached the highest point. If he fell at this time, he would definitely die.
Moreover, the wire rope used must have gone through repeated checks. It was impossible for it to break so easily. Someone must have deliberately turned a blind eye to it.
Lauren had predicted it this time. But next time, Lauren might not be able to appear in time.
Moreover, with so many people around, there was nothing Lauren could do. It was better to alert Quinn.
Lauren told Ben about what had happened just now. Ben believed it without a doubt and brought Lauren to look for Quinn. Naturally, they were stopped by the security guard at the door.
The security guard was wearing a hat, but there were a few yellow hairs slipped out from the hat. It seemed that this security guard was someone with a story.
He reached out his hand to stop the two of them. “Where did you come from? Not everyone can enter the backstage. Do you have a work permit?”
Ben was so focused on looking for Master Quinn that he forgot about this.
“We’re looking for Quinn. I’m his younger sister!”
“Younger sister? I’ve never heard of him having a younger sister. You’re so young and you’re already chasing after celebrities. Are you here to ask for an autograph?”
“My name is Lauren. You can go in and ask him! Since you’re so handsome, you’ll definitely help me with this small favor, right?”
Lauren used the trick that she was best at, which was to act coquettish and praise others.
She spared no effort to praise him! Even if it was a little against her heart!
The security guard was very impressed by this trick. When he heard Lauren say that he was handsome, he smiled shyly and said, “Am I really handsome?”
Lauren nodded her head vigorously. Her big eyes were slowly filled with sincerity. Thus, the security guard went in to pass on the message.
Lauren sighed and thought to herself, ‘As expected, a woman who knew how to act coquettish has the best luck.’
Very soon, Quinn appeared after the yellow-haired security guard.
“It’s this cute little girl looking for you. Look, isn’t she very cute?”
Quinn saw Lauren standing at the door.
‘Excuse me, did you get drugged?’ Quinn thought to himself.
“Why are you here?”
Quinn wanted to call her ‘jinx’, but when the words were already on the tip of his tongue, he recalled Franklin’s warning and swallowed back his words.
