Carrying the unconscious Councilor Huck, Loren swaggered through the bustling underground space.

Countless staff members and singers cast curious yet wary glances towards Loren.

Loren ignored them all, continuing to calmly carry the man on his shoulder as he walked towards the lift platform.

He knew it well—outstanding individuals always attract the attention of others.

Fortunately, he was long accustomed to it.

During this time, some people recognized the man on Loren’s shoulder as Councilor Huck.

Those who recognized Councilor Huck were about to charge forward to rescue him, but they were pulled back by the high-rank Superhumans beside them, who wore expressions of sheer terror…

“Don’t go to your death, stay quiet!!”

“Stop!”

“Calm down! That kidnapper is not someone we can handle!”

“Cease your actions! Don’t get us all killed!”

…

Several perceptive high-rank Superhumans made nearly the same choice in perfect unison!

They immediately stopped those who wanted to attack Loren! And issued the sternest warnings to those reckless low-rank and mid-rank Superhumans!!

Loren was not currently hiding his energy fluctuations, nor was he releasing them at full power.

He was merely maintaining a normal state, appearing like an utterly ordinary Superhuman.

Therefore, only high-rank Superhumans whose mental power had reached a certain level could perceive the terrifying oppressive pressure emanating from Loren.

That bone-chilling sense of threat was like a sharp ice blade carrying a frigid aura, pressed against their own fragile necks—one move and they would die…

Loren was quite satisfied with the reactions of these high-rank Superhumans; it saved him a lot of extra workload.

After all, Ms. Carnina was already dead. Even with more work, he couldn’t find anyone to ask for additional commission payment…

Unlike that Mr. Marcus who was still alive and well. Whenever Loren had time, he could go have a chat with him about the “little one’s payment”…

Soon.

Loren, carrying Councilor Huck on his shoulder, stepped onto the lift platform at the center of the underground space.

He wanted to go up.

Unfortunately, the staff near the lift platform didn’t immediately grasp Loren’s intention, still staring wide-eyed at Loren on the platform.

In response, Loren had no choice but to toss Councilor Huck onto the lift platform, while he himself flashed in front of a nearby staff member. He found the one with the highest Tier in his mental perception and began his “negotiation”…

Judging by energy fluctuations, this staff member was only at the 5th Tier.

As a staff member responsible for coordination, such a Tier was already sufficient.

Loren’s large hand quite “gently” gripped the other’s neck, allowing the staff member to breathe and speak.

“Who is in charge of managing the festival’s backstage?” Loren asked calmly.

Just as Loren’s question left his lips, a slightly plump man wearing a gray-green jacket rushed out from a room not far away and quickly approached Loren.

After arriving in front of Loren, the slightly plump man instantly stood at attention, his body ramrod straight!

This was a seventh-rank Superhuman.

“Big boss, you were looking for me?” His tone was exceedingly fawning.

Loren released the staff member in his hand, turned to look at this extremely perceptive slightly plump man, and asked with a strange look in his eyes:

“You’re the person in charge?”

“Yes! That’s me. What are your orders, big boss?” The slightly plump man swiftly answered Loren, his attitude impeccable.

Hearing the other’s reply, Loren smiled quite gently and slowly stated his demands.

“Don’t be nervous, sir. I came to find you for only two things.”

“The first thing: I will soon ascend to the stage to complete a special performance. I need to use your lift platform, just like a normal performing singer making an entrance.”

“The second thing: During the process of my performance, I want you to ensure the stable operation of the live broadcast equipment. Make sure everyone watching the Silver Radiance Festival can completely watch my performance.”

“Can you do it? Sir.”

After hearing Loren’s demands, the slightly plump man’s expression turned somewhat bitter. He remained silent for a moment before speaking in a strange tone:

“Big boss, the first thing is no problem. But the second thing… afterwards, the Security Bureau… their investigation will be hard for us to handle…”

The slightly plump man deliberately emphasized the words “us” and “Security Bureau,” putting a slight emphasis in his tone.

At the same time, he gave Loren a rather subtle wink.

Seeing this, Loren nodded in perfect understanding.

Then, he cooperatively said loudly:

“If you can’t fulfill the second requirement, everyone in this backstage will die! Even the audience on site might die!!”

Hearing Loren’s “threatening” words, the slightly plump man’s expression was no longer bitter, and his demeanor instantly relaxed considerably…

“Big boss! I understand what you mean! I will ensure the stable operation of the live broadcast equipment!! Please, I beg you, don’t harm innocent people!!”

The slightly plump man also loudly “pleaded” with Loren.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Loren calmly nodded and turned to leave without another word.

Conversations between smart people were just that simple…

Returning to the lift platform, Loren bent down and hoisted Councilor Huck onto his shoulder.

At the same time, the lift platform slowly activated, ascending towards the stage above.

Standing on the lift platform, Loren calmly swept his gaze over the staff members nearby.

And that slightly plump man in charge of managing the backstage also gave Loren a look of “gratitude.”

“Master, do you think he is one of Ms. Carnina’s people?” Raven asked somewhat puzzledly in Loren’s mind.

“No, he seems more like a smart person trying to survive…”

Recalling the other’s reaction just now, Loren gave his guess.

Of course, Loren wasn’t entirely certain his guess was correct.

After all, Ms. Carnina had managed to prepare that front-row center ticket for him, and even got the Councilor Huck now on his shoulder invited through the Organizers…

All of this indicated that Ms. Carnina’s relationship with the Organizers of the Silver Radiance Festival was excessively close…

Soon, neither Loren nor Raven dwelled on this issue any further.

There was no time left. The lift platform had already arrived at the center of the Silver Radiance Festival stage.

Countless dazzling lights shone down, illuminating Loren and the unconscious Councilor Huck.

Loren and Councilor Huck became the focus of the entire venue.

Their figures were also simultaneously displayed on the live broadcast feed of the Silver Radiance Festival.

Countless people watching the Silver Radiance Festival noticed this bizarre pair.

And Councilor Huck, unconscious and carried on Loren’s shoulder, was interpreted as a special performance.
