Chapter 625: Blackmail and Deceit
Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
Zhou Hao took great joy in seeing the people of the Glory Orchestra so incensed, knowing that there was nothing they could do to remedy their situation.
In the past, they had kicked them out without a second thought, and in turn, he had been ostracized by his peers and heavily scolded by his parents. He felt so much better now that he was a part of the Shanna Orchestra.
This second group had given him a chance to hold his head high again.
It was just a bonus that the Shanna Orchestraalso wanted to get rid of theGlory Orchestra.
Fortunately for them, Zhou Haoknew much about the members of theGlory Orchestra; indeed, he knew all about the family background and businesses of those four musicians.
He joined forces with Yao Ranand other influential heirs from their team, and they devised a plan to sabotage theGlory Orchestrathrough their family connections.
It was the perfect avenue to strike, since no one could turn their back on their family.
Those four unfortunate souls had no choice but to give up their own interests to secure the continued prosperity of their respective family businesses.
No matter how hard the Glory Orchestratried, they would never be able to persuade their teammates to come back.
Zhou Hao had made sure of that.
He felt no guilt for what he did. If anything, he was immensely satisfied with himself.
No one had even spoken up for him when Fang Huikicked him out of theGlory Orchestra. When his enemies had ganged up on him, none of his so-called friends had shown up.
Perhaps they had never been his friends, to begin with.
Well, this was their retribution for stabbing him in the back.
Zhou Hao swept his gaze over his former teammates and snickered at their indignant and furious expressions.
“Are you accusing me of something? What do their family affairs have to do with me? Am I so powerful that you would suspect me of manipulating their personal business?”
Then, as if to egg them on further, he flashed them a mocking smirk.

“Ah, but since we’re on the subject, their family should really thank me. They were in dire straits. Who knows what would have happened if I hadn’t extended a helping hand? But as for their quitting the orchestra, I assure you that I had no hand in that. Please refrain from slandering me.”
Fang Hui gritted his teeth. He fully understood what had happened.
His teammates hadn’t been bribed, they had been threatened with their families. In that case, he couldn’t exactly blame them for quitting the orchestra.
Fang Hui shotZhou Haoa sneer of disgust.
“I didn’t expect you to turn even more despicable than you already were when you left the Glory Orchestra.”
Before Zhou Hao could retort, the captain of the Shanna Orchestra, Wu Hai, spoke.
“Regardless of what you think, it doesn’t change the fact that you guys won’t be able to participate in the assessment!”
Wu Hai had been worried all along. TheGlory Orchestrawas looking to be a formidable opponent, and he didn’t have the confidence in his own team to win against them.
But just when he thought he would break from the pressure, Zhou Haohad come forward with a proposition they could not refuse. He had presented a plan to bring about theGlory Orchestra’s downfall.
They wasted no time conniving with Yao Ranand setting up traps to coerce the families of their intended victims.
As luck would have it, their schemes went smoothly.
It had only taken a few words for those foolish elders to force their kids to drop out of the competition and abandon their orchestra.
Only then was Wu Haifinally at ease. With such important members missing, how could the Glorious Orchestra hope to pass the assessment?
They would be lucky if they could even play their piece when their ensemble was incomplete.
So what if Yao TangwasPresident Tan’s apprentice?
Her title might be able to get her through the threshold, but it certainly wouldn’t do anything for the rest of the Glory Orchestra.
Besides, she had just recently taken on being their captain. She would be a fool to use President Tan’s influence to save everyone on her team.
After thinking things through carefully and repeatedly, Wu Haihad come to the conclusion that this matter of theGlory Orchestrawouldn’t be significant enough to offendYao Tang, and would therefore provoke no scruples fromPresident Tan.
“You’re the pitiful ones!” a girl from the Glory Orchestracried out.
“Your ancestors will definitely be ashamed of you for playing these dirty tricks. They must be rolling in their graves as we speak.”
The girl was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She didn’t expect the Shanna Orchestrato be so audacious that they would use blackmail and deceit in a reputable competition.
Zhou Hao was the worst of them all. He had sold out his former friends and teammates without a second thought.
