Mike nodded in disappointment and gave up his persuasion, because he was able to see the strong will of Wang Tong. After all, not all men would easily give into the temptation of money and power. ”Go now, or else you’ll be surrounded by the press… Sigh… Remember not to forget about a friend called Mike when you’ve successfully joined the military someday.” Mike then waved and let them go. In order not to be noticed by the keen press, Mike told them to escape from the rear exit.

Soon, the post-concert meeting began. Originally, this meeting should only be attended by a couple hundreds of media press, but the appearance of the masked dancer had attracted the attention of more than two thousand media companies. Some other media companies were even trying to approach this matter with different methods.

The conference room instantly turned into a room full of chaos. Everyone’s mind was blown away by the superb dance moves of the mysterious dancer.

Meanwhile, at the concert hall, a small number of audiences left because the venue was too crowded, yet more than a hundred thousand spectators were unwilling to leave. Apparently, they were still waiting for the masked dancer to reveal his real identity.

Mike was flooded by a flood of questions, and all of those questions were about the masked dancer.

”Mr. Mike, how old’s the masked dancer and where’s he from?”

”Mr. Mike, do you know the name of his dance moves? Do you know its origins?”

”Mr. Mike, in your opinion, is the concert a huge success? Is the mysterious dancer from one of your next projects?”

…

Questions from the press kept piling up, but unlike his talkative personality, Mike chose to remain silent this time. He used to think that music was just his stepping stone towards fame. However, this mindset had changed after meeting Wang Tong. Originally, he was just an artist focused on making his own music, yet, he was later blinded by the allure of fame and lost himself. Nevertheless, Mike had finally realized his true self after meeting Wang Tong.

The host signaled everyone else to calm down as Mike slowly stood up and said, ”I’m aware of your concerns, so allow me to explain briefly. As a matter of fact, the masked dancer was a friend of mine who’s not in the entertainment business, and I asked for his help this time due to an unexpected happening. It was only a one-time favor, so it’s unlikely he’d make another public appearance in the future.”

There was a short pause in the room, and the press began to bombard Mike with more questions.

”Mr. Mike, so you were saying that he’s a male? How old is this person?”

”Mr. Mike, the mask and all the fuss, are these your gimmicks of trying to increase publicity?” One of the reporters asked.

Publicity gimmicks were common in the world of entertainment business. In fact, Mike had been known for doing things like this. Back in the days, the quick-witted Mike would’ve argued with the reporter to heat things up, yet this time, Mike faked a smile and replied, ”If what you said is true, I’d be very happy right now. Do you think all of this was just for show? In fact, this dance is a revolutionary set of movements. It’s art, it’s powerful! Do you think I really have to go through all of this just to increase some publicity?”

Mike was replying the questions from the press by questioning back the reporters, yet he was being cautious and tried not to overdo it. Or else, it would look fake, and the press would suspect that he was hiding something else.

”Mr. Mike, why didn’t you reveal that person’s true identity to everyone? In fact, many are still waiting for you to tell them who he is in the concert hall as we speak!”

Actually, the press was not interested in how the public reacted. All they cared was the real identity of that mysterious figure. If they were able to find out who he was, they would be able to dig up more stories about this person.

”I promised him that I would keep his identity a secret because he doesn't want his life to be affected. Are you guys good in keeping secrets?”

”Of course, I promise I won’t write anything about it!”

”Haha, well, so can I.” Mike said with a smile on his face.

The press immediately realized that they were tricked.
