With that, he focused his mind, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, instantly severing the safety rope behind Tawana.
At the same time, more spiritual energy flowed from his body, forming an invisible pair of hands that gently supported Tawana’s body.
The staff thought Ye Chen was just exaggerating for effect, that safety rope could hold at least 800 kilograms, it was the kind used for rock climbing and mountaineering, how could it just snap like that?
But just as the stage director was about to argue, he saw the taut safety rope behind Tawana suddenly break and spring apart.
Seeing this, the stage director’s legs went weak with fright, and he cried out in despair, “It’s over, it’s over, I’m completely done for this time, God help Tawana, please don’t let anything happen to her…”
Tawana, who’d been struggling against the intense pull behind her, suddenly felt it vanish, her whole body lurched forward onto the metal frame in front of her, and she let out a terrified scream.
Fortunately, the performance hadn’t started yet, and the sound engineer hadn’t turned up her microphone, otherwise that scream would’ve been heard by the entire audience.
Turning to look at the broken rope behind her, Tawana’s legs trembled, the rope snapping meant she’d lost all protection, now she could only cling desperately to the metal frame in front of her.
But if she did that, wouldn’t it look utterly pathetic later? The effect presented to the audience wouldn’t be her stepping out triumphantly as the giant screen tilted down, but her awkwardly sprawled across the back of it.
Just as she was panicking, Ye Chen’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear, “Don’t be nervous, stand up confidently, I’ll protect you.”
“Mr. Ye?!”
Tawana was startled.
She initially thought Ye Chen was speaking to her through her in-ear monitor, but she quickly realised the sound from the earpiece wasn’t nearly this clear.
Ye Chen’s voice was as if he were speaking right beside her, without the slightest distortion.
As a highly skilled musician with a keen ear for tone, she knew no earpiece could achieve this.
Shocked, she looked down and saw Ye Chen standing below the stage, giving her a distant “OK” gesture.
A wave of warmth and reassurance instantly washed over her.
But to fully relax and be bold, she still felt a bit uneasy, after all, the safety rope was gone, one slip and she’d plummet straight to her death on the stage.
The stage director, speaking nervously through the walkie-talkie, asked, “Tawana, how are you holding up? Should we stop the screen’s tilt immediately and figure out how to get you down?”
Ye Chen quickly used his spiritual energy to transmit a message to Tawana’s mind, “Don’t be afraid, I’m the one who cut your safety rope, it was the only way to ensure your entrance goes off without a hitch, tell the stage director you can hold on, and under no circumstances let the screen stop, I’ll make sure you come through this safely.”
Tawana naturally trusted Ye Chen more, back in Tokyo, she’d already seen that his abilities were far beyond what any normal person could comprehend, silently severing her safety rope was probably child’s play for him.
More importantly, he was an extremely responsible man, if he’d done this, he must have a reason and a plan!
So, she immediately replied, “Don’t worry about me, just make sure the giant screen tilts normally and isn’t affected!”
The stage director blurted out, “But if something goes wrong, you’ll fall and it could be fatal!”
Tawana said firmly, “Relax, I’ve got someone I love watching over me, I’ll definitely turn danger into safety!”
