"Agatha?"

Seeing the bride brought out by the middle-aged lady, Elijah, who was standing on the ceremonial stage in a tuxedo, was immediately overjoyed!

Previously, he couldn't sleep at night and suddenly got up wanting to go to the beach to look at the stars, but unexpectedly saw Agatha being kidnapped. In order to save this girl he loved deeply but who did not love him, he had to rush home overnight and, as a condition for accepting the marriage arranged by his family, demanded that they help find Agatha's whereabouts.

But what he didn't expect was that the marriage candidate arranged by his family was actually Miss Agatha!

This... this must be the arrangement of fate!

"Miss Agatha!"

Amidst Agatha's equally surprised gaze, Elijah, also wearing a white tuxedo, couldn't help but rush two steps toward her. Then, amidst the surprised expressions of the guests, he couldn't help but speak out with irrepressible excitement:

"I didn't expect it to be... In any case, it was fate that made us meet in Ankara, then come to know each other, and travel together. Now it is also fate that allows us to finally meet here. I..."

"I'm late, sorry!"

Accompanied by an apology that was polite in content but truly not very polite in tone, the auditorium doors, which had closed after the guests arrived, were slowly pushed open. A man in a pure black suit, surrounded by a dozen guards, strode in from outside the door.

He seemed to have been in a bit of a rush on the way, and the man's breathing was slightly ragged, but his footsteps remained calm and powerful, and his attire was not the least bit disheveled. Except for a bright yellow tuft of hair on his head, his entire temperament was distinct and eye-catching, like a lion patrolling its territory.

And the moment this young lion strode into the auditorium, his eyes, which were like two pitch-black stars, cast themselves without blinking toward the ceremonial stage, landing on the beautiful bride in white gauze.

"Mr. Joseph?"

"Mr. Joseph!"

Accompanied by the equally high-pitched but emotionally contrasting screams of the groom and bride, the man, who was like the center of the entire world, ignored the surprised gazes of all the guests, strode onto the ceremonial stage, and walked steadily toward the bride.

He's here! Le... no, Mr. Joseph is here! He really came!

Looking at her lover striding firmly toward her, the Princess... no, Agatha's nose felt a wave of soreness, and the entire world before her eyes began to shimmer.

And in that shimmering light formed by tears of joy, the man who had only her in his eyes had already reached their side. He extended his palm toward the bewildered middle-aged lady, his voice steady, powerful, polite, yet refusing to be denied:

"Ma'am, you should hand Agatha over to me now."

"..."

Forcing his way into someone else's wedding with guards, then walking up to the bride's mother and demanding she hand over her daughter as if it were a matter of course... Faced with this request, which was less of an intrusion and more of a crazy provocation, the middle-aged lady's brain had completely crashed.

According to her inner thoughts at this moment, she should naturally be immediately furious, then erupt on the spot, scold him severely, and then call the guards over to drive this arrogant and crazy man out.

But looking at the man's eyes, which seemed to contain a galaxy, and listening to the tone that was as natural as saying the sun is destined to rise and the sea is destined to flow, the hand the middle-aged lady had on Agatha's arm trembled unnaturally, and then slowly, bit by bit, let go...

【Relying on your extremely outstanding acting skills and a novel persona that has not yet appeared in theatrical history, the fake character "Mr. Joseph, the Chaser of Love" you created has successfully gained the recognition of ninety percent of the audience and the enthusiastic pursuit of seventy percent of the audience across two acts and one small act, totaling eleven small scenes. Since the advancement conditions have been met, your silver-level badge "Elite Performer" has successfully advanced to the gold badge "Master Performer."】

【Master Performer: When you have solid accumulation, you can be called a performer. When you have superb skills, you can be considered an actor. And if, on top of this, you can possess persistence and love for the performing arts, then you are an elite among performers, and this is also the end point that ordinary people can reach.】

【If you want to become a master, having deep accumulation, excellent skills, and a heart full of love is far from enough. You must also, on the basis of these three points, possess a deep understanding of human nature, the ability to establish emotional resonance with the audience, and demonstrate personal unique style and artistic pursuit in the re-innovation of traditional works, only then can you be called a Master Performer.】

【Wearing effect: Your accumulation, your skills, your love, your understanding of human nature, your resonance with the audience, and your innovation and pursuit of artistic style have already placed you among the ranks of masters. Therefore, when you perform consciously, you will possess unparalleled and powerful infectious power.】

【And the more unfamiliar the audience is with your appearance, voice, and temperament, the easier it is for them to believe in your performance. If they are unfamiliar enough with you, they can even believe that you are the character you are playing without any obvious doubts.】

【Advancement route: After relying on superb acting skills to successfully deceive the cognition of one hundred thousand people, making them believe that you are the character you are playing, this badge will automatically advance to the heterochromatic badge "Man of a Thousand Faces." Current progress 0/100000】

【Hidden trait (no need to wear): As a Master Performer who started by playing the persona of a domineering CEO, your body retains the distinct and eye-catching unique temperament of "Mr. Joseph."】

【Possessing this special temperament, when you make requests to targets whose status and position are lower than yours, if their inner will is not firm enough, they will involuntarily make concessions and subconsciously follow your instructions.】

【This trait has an additional bonus for targets of the opposite sex.】

This effect...

Even characters who are completely fictional within the theatrical world can be affected? Good fellow! Truly worthy of being a gold-level badge!

Looking at the mother-in-law who was holding Agatha's hand and trembling slightly as she handed it to him, and then looking at the 【Master Performer】 flashing with golden light in the slot, Leon's face remained affectionate and focused, but his heart was already blooming with joy.

Coming to this theater was truly the right choice!

Originally, he had no idea how to continue advancing his 【Elite Performer】, but after accompanying the Princess to watch... and acting in a few scenes, 【Elite Performer】 had actually advanced to the gold level in one go, becoming the fourth gold-level badge he possessed, following 【Martyr of the Wine Kingdom】, 【I Am the Devil】, and 【Prince of the Traveling Thrush】!

And just as Leon was cheering in his heart for this rich harvest, seeing "Mr. Joseph" defy the world and openly force his way into the wedding to take her away, Agatha's eyes turned red. She broke free from the middle-aged lady's hand and threw herself into her lover's arms like a swallow returning to the woods, her voice choking:

"You actually love me this much... Leon... I will marry you tomorrow, and then we will never be apart, okay?"

"Okay!"

Leon nodded upon hearing this, gently stroking the swan-like elegant back of the beauty in his arms, and replied with tenderness:

"I will definitely... Hmm? What did you call me just now?"
