Chapter 253 Silent Protection
At the Graham family mansion, Arturo was also strategizing for this mission. It was a matter of life and death for their Long Island branch, so he had to be cautious.
"Sophia's security measures are strong. We still haven't found her residence, so her concert tonight is our only chance to capture her."
Arturo spoke seriously to his subordinates and the twenty martial arts students in front of him.
"I have prepared three plans for the successful completion of this mission. Plan A is the best one, but if that fails, we need to switch immediately to plan B, in which the martial arts experts will be needed."
"What about plan C?" Timothy asked. His life depended on the success of this mission, so he was very concerned.
"We'll send a few fake fans. She shouldn't suspect anything." Arturo stopped there, but most of the people present understood what he meant.
"We'll start our move after she finishes singing the last song."
Arturo chose the perfect moment because at that time, Sophia would be physically and mentally exhausted, likely to retreat backstage to rest. It was also the time when fans' attention would shift away from the stage, making it an opportune moment to strike.
So they had three plans. As long as one of them succeeded, they would be able to abduct Sophia successfully. Arturo devised these three strategies for extra security, showing his meticulous thinking and high intellect.
Rescuing Sophia from such opponents was already a great challenge for William, not to mention the assistance of the martial arts experts, especially Gregory, whose skills rivaled those of a grandmaster.
As the sky grew darker, the stadium with its eighty thousand seats was filled to capacity. Fans held glow sticks, star-shaped signs, and banners. Michelle and Julia sat in the front row, near the stage, holding glow sticks and brimming with excitement.
"It's almost seven o'clock. Sophia will come out soon." Julia was exhilarated. She would be seeing her idol up close for the first time. How could she not be excited?
"I wonder where William is. It's almost starting, and he still hasn't shown up." Michelle held a glow stick in her hand, her face filled with worry. She was tiptoeing and searching all around, but all she saw was the densely packed crowd. She couldn't find William's figure at all.
"Don't bother looking, he must have been delayed by something. He will come later," Julia comforted her.
As soon as she finished speaking, William emerged from the crowd and went directly to Michelle.
"Michelle, I'm here."
William had already arranged the tasks for each member and had placed personnel at various key positions. If anyone attempted to kidnap Sophia, he would be the first to rescue her.
"William, you're here! Here's a glow stick for you." Seeing William finally showed up, Michelle's face was filled with joy. While speaking, she handed him the extra glow stick she had in her hand.
William took the glow stick, posing as a fan, but then he remembered something important and turned to ask Michelle and Julia.
"By the way, what is the last song Sophia will sing in this concert?"
William recalled that Sophia had mentioned inviting him to sing the last song together as a way to thank him for taking care of Fiona.
"It's on the setlist, should be 'White Fox'!" Julia said without hesitation. It seemed she was truly a fan of Sophia. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known which song it was right off the bat.
"You know what? Sophia always invites a fan on stage to sing the last song together. I wonder if I'll be chosen this time." Julia's eyes were filled with anticipation.
William smiled but didn't say anything. He was afraid of disappointing Julia because Sophia had already decided to invite him to sing the last song.
Soon, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, and the lights on the vast stage began to change. This was William's second time attending Sophia's concert.
She was like a fairy in the sky, adored by the audience, sometimes making William feel that she was so close yet so far.
The music started slowly, and Sophia appeared on stage like a fairy. At the same time, countless white mists floated on the stage, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.
The entire stadium of 80,000 fans suddenly raised their glow sticks and screamed loudly, making William's ears numb.
Julia was even more excited, screaming and shouting while Michelle remained reserved.
Sophia slowly walked toward the front of the stage. As William was standing at the very front, he was clearly able to see her approach. She looked like a fairy, very beautiful. Such a goddess would probably be any man's dream lover, but all William could think about was how to break off the engagement.
While Sophia was singing on stage, William was scanning his surroundings, searching for potential dangers.
"I wonder where the members of the Graham family could be hiding. According to Riley's information, the karate experts have been coming in and out of the Graham family mansion recently. It seems those karate masters will be involved in this mission," William thought to himself.
He was very concerned because if martial arts experts were indeed participating in this mission, the difficulty level would rise significantly. However, William had made thorough preparations, even inviting Beauvoir to join him.
If the opponent had any formidable martial arts masters, William would have no choice but to ask Beauvoir for help. He was a master himself and could match the skills of a grandmaster.
After one song ended, another followed quickly. Sophia didn't even have time to change her outfit before starting the second song. Her professionalism was admirable.
William was in awe of Sophia's dedication. She sang the entire time without pauses, giving a truly authentic performance.
Julia, on the other hand, was screaming throughout the concert and occasionally singing along. She was undoubtedly a true fan.
After enduring for two or three hours, there was only one song left to perform in the concert.
Sophia looked somewhat exhausted. Singing continuously for a few hours had tired her, but she still pushed through.
"I want to thank all of you for your support. We have just one song left for tonight's concert, and I would like to invite a fan to sing with me," Sophia announced.
The crowd below the stage became excited, with everyone raising their hands, hoping to be chosen. Julia was particularly thrilled, while Michelle remained reserved. She didn't want to go up and sing in front of so many people as it made her uncomfortable and nervous.
After scanning the crowd, Sophia's gaze fell on William. She smirked, then walked straight to the edge of the stage, pretending not to recognize him when she extended the invitation.
"Sir, could I invite you to come up and sing with me?" she asked.
In an instant, William found himself being stared at by numerous envious eyes, especially Julia and Michelle. They couldn't believe that Sophia invited William to sing with her.
"William, what are you waiting for? Go up there!" Julia urged with envy. If it were her, she would have eagerly gone up without hesitation.
"Good luck, William!" Michelle encouraged him with a gesture. She was also excited to see William singing with a celebrity.
"Alright," William nodded calmly, his emotions remaining steady. He had known the outcome beforehand, and he could guess that once the final song was over, it would be the opportunity for the Graham family to make their move.
So, this time, it wasn't just about accompanying Sophia to sing a song; William also had the responsibility of protecting her.
