Chapter 475: That guy really knows how to tug at my heart.
The bodyguards and bouncers welcoming Slater were big, bulky guys. Even without doing anything, they were intimidating enough to discourage anyone from approaching him. However, looks could be deceiving, so Penny focused on how they handled her brother’s security.
All of them were in sync, suggesting they had managed Slater’s security many times before. In a way, it eased her mind.
"Give it up for... Slater!"
Screams and cheers erupted in the mall as soon as the event host mentioned Slater’s name. Even before he stepped out, some fans were already hyperventilating with excitement.
Standing in the corner of the stage, Penny glanced around before looking up. The mall was packed, and even on the second floor, there wasn’t room for anyone to squeeze in. With the overwhelming crowd, Penny began to sweat a little.
"There were many artists who performed before him," she whispered, noting that the show wasn’t centered on Slater—he was just a guest, helping out a friend in the industry. "But it seems like everyone came just for him."
The crowd carried banners with Slater’s face or name on them. The cheers when his name was announced were louder than the speakers. But when Slater came into view, Penny felt the floor shake.
"Oh, goodness!" She jolted slightly, holding onto the barricade near her. "This is insane."
Penny knew her third brother was popular. Considering his face was plastered all over the city, she shouldn’t have been surprised by the audience’s reaction. But despite knowing that, she couldn’t help but feel in awe.
"Well... he did say he’d be so famous his first name alone would be enough to renew his ID." The corner of her lips curled into a smile, pride swelling for her brother’s achievement.
Slater often bragged about his popularity and musical achievements to his siblings, but they were all too busy with their own careers to fully appreciate it. Not that they doubted him, but they hadn’t realized just how successful Slater had become in the entertainment industry.
’But what makes me proud the most is that, despite his popularity, he’s still the same,’she thought, eyes fixed on the stage where Slater stood. He had been there for over three minutes, yet the crowd’s screaming hadn’t died down. ’He really does have a lot to brag about.’
