THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

(A/N: I'm not a songwriter, so take what's below and love it even if it's bad, I command you!!)

...

"Kiss me before you go, tell me you'll be back~

Don't let the dreamscape separate us, hug every second more~

I'll be wherever you go, please don't leave me behind ~

Tell me what you want to do, I'll go with you all the way~

If the world wants you gone for the greater good ~

I will let the world burn~"

A gentle voice drifted across the entire hall, filling people's hearts with touching emotions; a few young girls were even crying as they listened to the song.

"My goodness, Elisa is so good at singing. Her voice is so beautiful, I think I'm in love" Glen muttered softly from where he was seated.

The three of them were currently sitting together around a table, hundreds of similar sitting arrangements were placed all over the hall; there were over a thousand people who had come to watch the performance this evening.

"I admit she's good, but her talent is what's making people so emotional," Ralph said to Glen, who was looking at the huge projection of Elisa on stage.

Just like Mrs Florence had told them, Elisa refused to perform live on stage and sang from behind the big red curtain while a projection of hers would be displayed to the audience.

From the protection, they could see the girl wearing a red evening dress with gleaming stones on it. She wore two red hand gloves that covered up to her elbow and her blonde hair was styled in a traditional Chinese style and had a golden hairpin holding it.

She looked so beautiful even from afar, it was no surprise that she was able to gain many fans despite her eccentric character of always performing behind the curtains.

Everyone quietly listened to Elisa's beautiful voice as she sang a heart-touching song of two lovers who were to be separated because one had to be sacrificed to the dreamscape. This song moved many young ladies to tears.

The performance lasted for three hours straight as Elisa sang one heart-touching song after another; she was only able to last so long without taking a break thanks to her being a Nexulyte herself.

Finally, around 10 pm, the performance ended and Elisa's projection disappeared.

The entire hall was filled with thunderous applause as the people gave their appreciation to the singer.

Soon later, refreshments were being served. People with servant uniforms carried trays of drinks and moved around the place.

Of course, they were not real servants; this was a part-time job.

Glen found himself holding a glass of wine as the three of them moved upstairs, where there were fewer people.

"Wow, this thing is amazing!" Glen smacked his lips with a flushed face. He had never had wine before, the taste of it blew his mind away.

Reaching upstairs, they started to move around aimlessly.

A lot of ladies approached the three in an attempt to have a conversation but left due to the trio's unresponsive attitude, still, it didn't stop the ladies from following them around.

After roaming aimlessly for a while, they happened to bump into Mr Alonso, his wife, and son.

"Look, there they are!" Mrs Florence announced to her husband when she saw them approaching.

" My wife said you lads came to visit; I was so surprised and thought she was joking," Mr Alonso, the old driver, said with a laugh.

" Good lads, you all remembered me after finishing your training; this old man is really happy" Mr Alonso chuckled while patting Glen's shoulder.

They talked for a bit before Glen asked about Elisa, she was done with her performance and should be with her family.

"She should be at the back of the stage; let's go meet her; I'm sure she'll be happy to see you guys," Mrs Florence declared, and they all moved to the back of the stage.

The back of the stage was packed with people who were in charge of organizing the events and other performers, as well as people in charge of refreshments; racks of clothes were being pushed all around.

Making their way through the busy hallway, they asked some people about where the singer Elisa was staying.

They were pointed in a direction and immediately moved over.

After a while, they came to a less crowded hallway; people moving through were not up to ten.

They soon found the room that was Elisa's place for the duration of the event, performers like Elisa usually had their own private changing room where they could rest.

But strangely, they found two huge men standing in front of the door and blocking anyone from approaching.

This caused a frown on everyone's face, the Elisa that they all knew disliked the company of strangers; no way would she get bodyguards to accompany her.

"Maybe they were provided by her company?" Mrs Florence voiced out.

" But it's strange, I don't think Elisa would agree to it. Don't forget that she's a Nexulyte, even if she's a weak one; it will be difficult for anything to pose a threat to her inside the city" Ralph said with a serious look on his face.

They gave up on guessing and approached the door, they would ask Elisa when they saw her.

But just as expected, the two huge men stopped them from approaching when they got within a meter of the door.

" What are you doing?" Me Alonso asked.

" No one is allowed to come in for now, go back," One of the two men declared dismissively; he clearly didn't think much of this group.

"What do you mean? The person inside is my daughter; she'll surely not have any problem seeing us," Mr Alonso responded strongly, unwilling to leave.

"Leave, don't make me use force" The man scoffed while giving the old driver a menacing glare.

Mr Alonso flinched and took a step back, the man's eyes just now frightened him.

From the back, Ivan was analyzing the two men with narrowed eyes. They seemed to be Nexulytes, but he couldn't tell their ranks; he guessed that they should at least be at the True King rank since they were doing guarding duty.

"Sorry about my husband but could you at least let her know that her parents are here to see her?" Mrs Florence stepped forward and said to them with an apologetic smile on her face.

The two men stared down at her before looking away, ignoring her.

"Excuse me," Ralph's voice sounded from behind the couple as he walked in front of them and faced the two men; they were only a few inches taller than him, so Ralph didn't need to lift his gaze to look them in the eyes.

"They are the parents of the person that you're guarding, how can you be so rude to the parents of your employer?" Ralph stated coldly.

The expressions on the faces of the two men changed slightly as they gazed at Ralph, a fierce glint flashed past their eyes.

"Are you looking for a beating, boy? I said scram!" One of them barked at Ralph.

While Ralph exchanged words with the two, Ivan focused his hearing and tried to listen to what was going on behind the door; he immediately caught someone's voice, it was a man's voice!
