Chapter 219: Chapter 33 - Idol Debut (2)
Leon's POV
The venue was packed with people who had each paid one gold coin for entrance. With so many attendees, we had nearly amassed a total of 5,000 gold coins. It was a significant amount of money.
My Shadows were on high alert, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. There had been numerous reports of bastards planning to pull some stunts to get close to the girls. As expected, weirdos were starting to crawl out of the woodwork now that idols existed in this world. There was also a risk of kidnapping, which was why I had stationed them here.
I noticed some interesting people in attendance at the concert. Professor Irene was there with Professor Rose. I also spotted the actor who played Jeanne in the theater play I watched with my sister. Among the crowd were several other important figures. The fact that so many people, including some high-profile ones, came to see the Starry Knights' debut showed just how popular they had become.
While I was mulling over the crowd, Amon and Maya approached me. They were both set to be the masters of ceremonies for the night. Instead of their usual maid uniforms, they were dressed in elegant, formal attire that highlighted their stunning beauty.
Amon wore a sleek, black dress that hugged her curves, with a slit up the side that hinted at her shapely legs. Maya, on the other hand, wore a flowing, red gown that contrasted beautifully with her white hair and fair skin. Both of them exuded a graceful allure that drew the eyes of everyone around them.
As a side note, they were both filled to the brim with my cum, having fucked them earlier. They were about to step on stage with my cum nestled inside their wombs. The thought heightened my sense of domination.
"Master, everything is ready," Amon said.
"Excellent. Let's get started then," I replied. "Make this night unforgettable so our name spreads even further."
Both of them nodded and curtsied gracefully. "As you command, Master."
With that, the debut began.

Rose's POV
Two women stepped onto the stage, radiating an almost ethereal beauty and sexiness. Their presence was mesmerizing, even to someone like me, who usually doesn't care about appearances and focuses solely on getting stronger. But seeing them, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. So this is the power of a real woman, huh?
One of the women took the microphone and announced, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for attending tonight's debut of the Starry Knights! We're thrilled to introduce you to the five members of the Starry Knights, who will be performing their songs for you tonight. Additionally, I, Amon, will be singing some of my own songs!
We hope you enjoy the show and fall in love with the Starry Knights' music and mine even more in the future!"
So this was Amon. As expected of someone with the voice of an angel, she had the face of one too.
"That's right," added the other woman. "Not only will the Starry Knights be performing for you tonight, but Amon, who has revolutionized the new age of music and singing, will also grace us with her songs! Isn't this exciting?"
The crowd erupted in cheers at her words.
"That's right. I hope that with this, all of you will be able to support our company, Leonamon! Oh, speaking of which, our company is about to unveil another one of our products!"
"Are we announcing it right now?"
"When else could we do it if not at this moment? The timing couldn't be more perfect!"
"I suppose you're right. Yes, it does seem like the ideal time to reveal it."
"Alright, everyone! Before the Starry Knights kick off their first performance, we'd like to introduce you all to our latest product."
A rhythmic sound of drums echoed through the venue, adding a dramatic flair to the introduction. After a moment, the large curtain behind them parted, revealing their newest product.
The product looked like a small cabin on wheels, displayed in various colors. I had to admit, it looked pretty cool.
"This is our groundbreaking new product, a revolutionary mode of land transportation. It's akin to a horse-drawn carriage, but without the need for horses. Instead, it runs on a rare substance called gasoline. Picture a smoother, more comfortable ride without the horse's trot. For just 999 gold coins, you can own this incredible vehicle.
And fret not about refueling—it's easy to find gasoline at designated spots for just one silver coin per gallon. Safety's our top priority, so we provide hands-on driving lessons with every purchase. It's essential to learn how to handle this vehicle properly, as misuse can be risky, even deadly. We strongly advise caution. Despite the risks, the rewards are huge.
If you're ready to embrace the future of transportation, visit any of our branches nationwide to get your vehicle. Leonamon is dedicated to solving transportation issues and leading the way in modernization!"
Many people were captivated by this new product, myself included. If this vehicle became the norm, it wouldn't just boost modernization—it would be the biggest innovation of all. The thought of it alone sent a thrill through me. Leonamon was pulling off incredible feats of innovation in such a short amount of time, and it was almost unbelievable.
First, they introduced the smartphone, a device that changed communication forever. Then, they produced that godly wine, which quickly became the talk of the town. Next, they revolutionized the music industry, bringing a new era of sound and entertainment. And now, they were making waves in engineering and architecture with this groundbreaking vehicle.
The crowd's murmur grew louder, a mix of excitement and disbelief. The energy was palpable. As I stood there, I couldn't help but admire the sleek design of the vehicle, its modern lines and bold colors making it stand out.
Despite my awe, a nagging suspicion lingered in my mind. Where were all these ideas coming from? How did they manage to develop them so rapidly? It was as if they had access to knowledge and resources far beyond what was available.
How were they able to scratch the surface of these inventions and bring them to fruition seemingly overnight?
Hmm... Well, no matter. As long as the Administrators don't get suspicious of them, it wasn't going to be my problem. I didn't need any more work piled onto my already overloaded plate.
After the vehicle's grand introduction, the two women on stage started speaking again, but their words were lost on me as I suddenly felt something odd.
"Irene, can you hold the fort for now?" I asked.
"Hmm? Why? They look like they're about to start," she replied, her brow furrowing in confusion.
"Yeah," I replied. "But I have this nagging feeling that something's going to happen."
"Is that your intuition kicking in?" Irene asked.
"Yeah," I confirmed.
My skill was named Intuition. It allowed me to sense things that might lead to certain outcomes. It was a passive skill that made me aware of potential events before they happened. That's how my skill worked.
"If things are going south, that's worrying. Alright then, I'll keep an eye on the fort for you."
"Thanks," I replied before slipping through the crowd, making excuses as I went. There had to be a reason why my skill was acting up now. Unfortunately, I could only sense it but had no idea why. Honestly, it felt like a useless skill. But with my training, I was more adept than before, able to make educated guesses about what might happen. Right now, though, I was stumped.
I had no clue what was going to go down. Maybe someone was going to get assassinated. That seemed likely, but who?
Gotta think, Rose, gotta think. Why the hell is my skill kicking in right at this moment? Why now? Is there really going to be an assassination ploy here? Or maybe...
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted someone standing out like a sore thumb in the crowd. He was draped in a dark hood, his presence ominous. Then, catching a glint of light, my eyes locked onto his wrist. There it was—a tattoo of a half-moon. No, not a half-moon, but a symbol of something overlapping, like the moon eclipsing the sun or vice versa. Lunar or solar eclipse.
Eclipse. The name resonated in my mind like a chilling echo—a cult organization known as Eclipse.
I bolted towards the figure, closing the distance with lightning speed before hurling myself at him, sending both of us crashing to the ground. He struggled, but I had the advantage, my strength overpowering his feeble attempts to break free. All those hours in the training hall weren't wasted after all.
The surrounding crowd erupted into a chorus of gasps and murmurs as they witnessed the sudden takedown. Ignoring their startled reactions, I raised my voice, my tone commanding attention, "I'm an agent of the Administrators, and this guy looked suspicious as hell. No need to fret now that he's in my grasp. Just give me some space to handle this, folks."
A hush fell over the onlookers, their eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before them as they obediently parted to create a path. It was a stroke of luck that I managed to apprehend him. If I hadn't, who knows what chaos could've erupted at this concert. And I sure as hell wasn't about to let that happen.
