That fierce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But recalling Sasha’s expression earlier, she had nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even God had said, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” It was hence unrealistic to expect ordinary people to be magnanimous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody talked in low voices as they watched the show, and didn’t mention Sasha and her partner again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But half an hour later, after the stage turned dark for a moment, a spotlight turned on to reveal Sasha and her partner, Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the music rang out, Sasha picked up the microphone and started singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening for a while, Luke had to admit that this C-list singer was pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lyrics and Sasha’s movements made it easy for people to understand the story behind the song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably love at first sight, but both parties were in other relationships. However, they couldn’t resist true love (lust) and slept together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire didn’t forget to tell Luke in a low voice that this song was basically an embellished version of how Sasha and Reed had hooked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, no one mentioned how they had cheated on their exes, but everyone in the entertainment circle was well aware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t rare in the entertainment circle, but it was definitely rare to write a song about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage tonight, it was as if Sasha and her partner were performing a short musical as they came together and broke apart again and again, like a foolish man and a resentful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was time to perform an argument, Sasha raised her hand and gave Reed a slap as per the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed was instantly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slap was real, and his left cheek burned. Clearly, she had used a lot of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, Sasha’s other hand swung out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right cheek couldn’t escape the same fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed was genuinely stunned. Wait, that wasn’t in the script!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the first hit should’ve been fake, and didn’t need to touch his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha, however, was very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had smoked some weed backstage earlier, and felt good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her anger at Claire and the young man earlier was vented with these two slaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, she had been arguing with Reed recently about his ambiguous relationships with some little b*tches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them had a lot of fights, which occasionally turned physical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had to keep up their ‘true love’ image and use their story to promote themselves, so they didn’t dare be too ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sasha had once hidden at home for three days, afraid that someone would see the handprints on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reed had to claim that the scratches on his face were from a pet cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the performance started, Sasha somehow saw herself as the party who was being cheated on. Thinking about how Reed was fooling around outside, her mood suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few people in the audience could tell that something was wrong with the two people on stage. After all, not many people were focused on the performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ten seconds later, when Reed was supposed to reject Sasha when she clung to him, he suddenly pushed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha’s voice wobbled as she suddenly stumbled back five meters and fell on her butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she made a second sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sound was especially distinct, even without the microphone, and everyone in the hall turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two staff members ran over and helped Sasha up. She could only yell, “It hurts! It hurts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everybody took a closer look, they realized that there seemed to be a dark circle on her butt that was slowly expanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire covered her mouth in surprise, then craned her neck and whispered in Luke’s ear, “Is it her period?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shook his head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire’s mind whirled, and she then said in shock, “A miscarriage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke rolled his eyes and pushed her head away. “What are you thinking? It’s on her butt. She was just pricked by something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t crazy enough to use a miscarriage to deal with a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Luke had only induced Sasha and Reed a little into expressing their emotions more straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha had gotten high before she got on stage. She slapped Reed, who then pushed her as they expressed their true emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A more level-headed person would only feel on edge for ten minutes at most, and wouldn’t attack anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had just added the straw that broke the camel’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying went, you reap what you sow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes of clamor on the stage, Sasha, whose butt was bleeding, and a confused Reed got off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host walked up with a calm smile and said a few witty words before announcing that the show would go on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, this show wasn’t being streamed live, and only a recording of it would go on sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened earlier wasn’t anything out of the ordinary in the entertainment circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were partners who got drunk before going on stage, and sang blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were bands who only realized that their members were high just as they were about to go on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all common occurrences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Singers fell flat on their faces on stage after their shoelaces were tampered with, or microphones were snatched away to mock winners for not being worthy of their victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of these sorts of spectacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how the entertainment industry worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many people were blinded by fame and fortune, and lost themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the next performance started, Susan suddenly turned around and said to Luke, “You’re very talented. How about learning fortune-telling from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stumped for a moment, Luke shook his head with a smile, but still took out his card and handed it to her. “I have a job, but if I have the time, I’m happy to do consults.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan took the card and looked at it. “Er, alright, I think we can set up some sort of partnership.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “I don’t do things like look for lost pets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan shrugged. “Actually, most of my cases are about searching for people. You get it, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded. “Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fortune teller could be called a psycho or a psychic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most common commissions out there were for communicating with the dead or searching for missing people. Many fortune-tellers relied on these to make a living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a partnership or whatever was just a casual suggestion – if something like this really came knocking, Luke wouldn’t actually take it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Susan’s fortune-telling ability was interesting, and needed to be verified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the farce, Luke spoke with Claire, then he and Selina left first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else would hang around after the performance to network – this was one of the participants’ most important goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire, however, had no such need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both she and her family felt that P!nk was too popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fans were mostly young and enthusiastic, and often went overboard in chasing celebrities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire wasn’t afraid of stalkers, but she was afraid that these people would treat their own lives like nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Claire left, Susan left with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had joined the industry by a fluke, and didn’t necessarily want to make a career out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, after the botched performance and a pleasant chat with Luke tonight, she realized that she still preferred fortune-telling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Movie star? Whatever.\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-06-06T03:36:41.125Z",1,"novelbin.me","8dd386eaa1d45e17acc7b37c190c4390a63f1607e6887cd442cd51ac35079b4d","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1918","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1916",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
