Connor looked coldly at Justin in front of him. His thoughts had long drifted into the distance.
In fact, when Connor was very young, he had learned the piano from his mother.
However, after his mother passed away, Connor gave up learning the piano. Even so, Connor still had an old piano at home.
Connor would also play the piano from time to time to commemorate his mother, because this piano was a relic left to him by his
mother.
This was also the reason why Connor’s expression was solemn when he arrived at the Collective Stroke. It was because the
music here reminded Connor of his mother.
As for the fact that Connor knew how to play the piano, very few people knew about it. Only Mandy Hines knew about it.
However, Mandy looked down on Connor’s skill because she felt that it was useless to play the piano. It was better to have
Connor deliver food to support her.
Back when Connor was at his most destitute, he also thought of using his piano skills to find a part-time job. However, when
people were hiring, they needed a piano level 10 certificate. Connor had never taken the exam, let alone have a certificate, so in
the end, Connor gave up.
However, he never expected that he would be able to use this skill one day.
Justin stared at Connor with his eyes wide open. He was extremely shocked. How could he have expected Connor to choose
Symphony No.9?
Although Justin had learned Symphony N0.9 before and could play it, it was impossible even for his master to perfectly play the
artistic conception that the song was trying to express!
However, he felt that Connor might have chosen this song to scare him. Connor most probably did not know how to play it.
Moreover, with so many people watching, it would be embarrassing for Justin to say that he didn’t know how to play this song.

“Alright, since you want to compete with Symphony N0.9, then that’s what we’ll play!”
Justin gritted his teeth and replied in a low voice.
Connor turned around and walked toward Priscilla. He whispered to her, “Priscilla, can you lend me your piano?”
“Connor, Symphony No.9 is very difficult to play. Are you sure you can play it?”
Priscilla asked Connor worriedly.
“That’s right, Connor. Don’t show off. Even if you lose today, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. However, if you don’t
know how to play the song you have chosen, that will be too embarrassing...”
Freya also added.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already memorized this song. There won’t be a problem!”
Connor looked at Freya and smiled faintly.
“Alright, then!”
Freya agreed helplessly.
Connor walked to Priscilla’s piano and sat down slowly. He reached out and gently stroked the keys.
Everyone could feel that when Connor’s hands touched the keys, his entire temperament changed. It was as if he was a
completely different person from before!

Priscilla, on the other hand, stared at Connor with a pair of big, bright eyes. At this moment, she was very curious about
Connor’s piano skills.
“What are you pretending for? Isn’t he just a delivery man? I don’t believe he can really play the piano!”
Qahira looked at Connor’s seat and shouted in disdain.
“Hubby, you must help me teach Connor a lesson today. I want to see if he still dares to be arrogant after this!” Hailey turned and
shouted at Justin.
“Alright!”
Justin nodded gently, then walked to his piano and sat down slowly.
However, at this moment, Justin looked at Connor opposite him, and he suddenly became a little nervous.
Because Justin could feel that Connor seemed to be very confident at this moment. If Connor really knew how to play Symphony
N0.9, then Justin would lose to Connor to a large extent.
‘This kid is just a poor loser who delivers food. How can he play Symphony
No.9? I just need to calm down...’
Justin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“Mr. Ray, Mr. McDonald, are you two ready?”
Mrs. James from the Collective Stroke stood up and asked softly.

“We can start now!”
Connor replied indifferently.
“Alright, let’s begin!”
Mrs. James exclaimed.
Dum, dum, dum...
Connor’s performance speed was obviously faster than Justin’s because Justin was not in the right state at all.
However, when Justin heard Connor’s piano, he quickly put his hands on the keys.
At this time, Justin was completely at a disadvantage because the sudden start of the competition made him feel a little flustered.
From the moment Connor touched the piano keys, his entire person was integrated into the piano, as if everything outside had
nothing to do with him.
Memories of Connor’s childhood began to surface in his mind.
At that time, Connor was not an orphan, nor was he a poor loser who could be bullied. He also had his own family and parents.
However, everything changed because of an accident.
Connor’s piano playing drifted throughout the entire Collective Stroke. Everyone was staring at Connor with wide eyes. Even
Connor’s opponent, Justin, stopped playing after playing for less than a minute and looked at Connor with a dull gaze.
Who would have thought that a young man who looked like a loser would be able to play such a shocking song?
Freya realized that she knew too little about Connor. The longer she interacted with Connor, the more secrets she discovered.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that this ordinary young man in front of her was actually a
piano expert.
Maya and Priscilla didn’t know how to describe their feelings!

Especially Maya. She brought Connor to Collective Stroke today because she wanted to find someone who was clueless about
the piano.
However, she never expected that the person she got was a real piano expert.
Justin looked at Connor. Although there was unwillingness in his eyes, there was even more envy and jealousy.
He had heard many people talk about Symphony No.9, but no matter how good a pianist was, they could not perform it perfectly.
It was not difficult to perform it, but it was difficult to express the emotions that the song wanted to express!
It was impossible for someone who had not experienced the tragic fate of Beethoven to play the true charm of this song.
However, tragic experiences were really too common for Connor.
He had experienced the beauty of being rich and the bitterness of being poor.
Many people felt that Connor was a good-for-nothing and that he did not have any temper.
Actually, he just didn’t care about these people!
The richest man in the world would never care about the insults of beggars because the two of them were not from the same
world.
Hailey, Zander, Qahira, Ailee, and the others were all dumbfounded.
At this moment, Connor was like the reincarnation of Beethoven, perfectly combining his emotions with the piano.
All of this was thanks to Connor’s talented mother.
A large part of Connor’s talent in piano was inherited from his mother.
Freya’s eyes were closed. Although she didn’t know much about Symphony No.9, she could feel the emotions that Connor
wanted to express through the music.
Among these emotions, there was dissatisfaction with life, helplessness towards one’s own fate, and disdain toward all things in
the world.

Freya could not understand what Connor had been through all these years. How could a boy in his early twenties have such
deep emotions?
‘Perhaps, 1 don’t understand Connor at all!’
Freya couldn’t help but think to herself..
