Chapter 46 - Aiming Higher


    Arthur and udina departed the restaurant as night reached its peak. Taking a leisurely walk along


    the cobblestone streets of the beach, they observed the thinyer of ice slowly melting away. Winter


    wasing to a close, and barely any snow had fallen, revealing the true nature of the buildings and


    trees.


    The luminous moon illuminated the earth, lending a serene light that made udina''s features seem


    even softer in the moonlight and the luminescence of the nearby shops and structures.


    The two of them appeared to be walking alone together. However, in actuality, several bodyguards had


    been strategically ced at the front and back of their procession, ensuring that it seemed as though


    they were privately enjoying their evening.


    The onlookers, awestruck by udina''s beauty, could only gaze upon her from a distance. Her snow-


    whiteplexion and perfect features caused a shiver to run down the spines of all who beheld her.


    udina gazed to the left, her eyes settling on Arthur''s face, which looked tranquil and charismatic.


    She smiled softly and let out a gentle chuckle.


    "I feel tonight is the most treasured night of my life," she proimed.


    “Could it be because we are on the most beautiful ind in this city, situated in the middle of this


    magnificentke?”


    "That may be part of it," udina said slowly, pausing for a few moments. "But, what matters more to


    me is… I have dreamed of being able to share that song with someone special, and I never expected


    you to be able to sing and even y the piano so effortlessly."


    Arthur smiled warmly at udina''s words. He had indeed spent forty of his VIP points for the


    extravagant show earlier, a hefty price for such skills, but he had also earned a lot since he had first


    encountered her.


    Arthur had acquired one hundred VIP points from the orphanage children at her auction event, got


    another thirty more when he saved her, and an additional sixty at her solo concert. With a total of one


    hundred and ny VIP points, for some inexplicable reason, Arthur felt immensely gratified at the


    progress he had made since he had met udina.


    Arthur and udina slowly walked closer together. She was a bit more hesitant than Edna, who often


    took the initiative to sp Arthur''s arm. Walking alone with a man was a huge step for her, who had


    never done something like this before.


    "Have you ever performed in front of many people, Arthur?" she asked, her voice curious.


    "You mean concerts like the ones you do?" he said, his brow furrowing slightly.


    “Huhum.” She hummed in response, her tone soft.


    Arthur chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "I''ve never even thought of doing that."


    "Are you serious?" she said, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You have never performed in front of a


    crowd with talent as great as you? Your singing is absolutely incredible, and your piano ying is just


    so beautiful. Every time I hear you tap the keys, it sends goosebumps down my spine and it really fits


    my imagination of the song that I wrote." she exined, her voice alive with enthusiasm.


    "Would you like to do a concert with me?" udina asked, her tone hopeful.


    "A concert? With you?"


    Arthur paused and thoughtfully contemted udina''s proposal. He had never even imagined doing


    something as daring as performing in front of arge crowd. When he hade into his newfound


    System, his initial instinct was to indulge himself withvish meals and luxurious items that had


    previously been beyond his reach.


    As time passes, Arthur feels the need to share his joy with more people who he believes deserve it.


    Hence, he decides to construct a vast business empire to have control over various things in the world,


    including providing jobs to the less fortunate.


    When udina proposes to him that they perform a concert together, Arthur feels like he has been

    given a new reason to savor life. He thinks to himself, "Why shouldn''t I take advantage of the System I


    have to bring more delight to people?"


    He asked softly yet inquisitively, "If we have a music concert together, will the audience be able to feel


    joy through our performance?"


    udina replied quietly, "Hmmm..." Her voice increased in intensity, "You know what it feels like when


    people hear us singing and they are filled with happiness or even cry. I can''t deny that it is one of the


    most incredible feelings in life. I''m sure you can give that to many people."


    udina nodded, providing a silent confirmation of her words.


    "Someone," udina continued confidently, "someone as talented as you, Arthur, should be celebrated


    by many. With your beautiful singing and proficient piano ying, you will be a crowd favorite in


    no time. Furthermore, your skill in performing dangerous stunts will endear you to the masses. Not to


    mention, your respectful words and unbiased behavior towards everyone, regardless of their social


    ss or wealth, will easily earn you the respect of many."


    udina nodded rapidly and repeatedly. "I can''t wait for that time toe," she said, then paused for a


    moment. "And I''d be happy to do what I can to help you out and get you noticed, Arthur, if you don''t


    mind me using my reputation." She spoke with sincerity. Her eyes lit up with admiration for him.


    She was certain that he was destined for greatness, and that she could provide the best support for


    him in paving his way to sess.


    "My friends at the orphanage send their warmest greetings," she said softly, her voice tinged with joy


    and her face beaming a beautiful smile. "They can''t believe the things they have received; they are all


    so excited to meet you and thank you in person."


    Arthur inhaled deeply and then smiled at udina. "You know," he began, trying to sound casual, "I


    don''t think singing in front of an audience is such a bad idea. I could start out as a neer and


    perhaps I''ll give it a go on this ind once I manage to acquire it for myself." He said confidently, even


    though what he was suggesting was far from trivial.


    “And…” He continued, his voice full of excitement, "I will go to the orphanage where your friends are


    and meet them, perhaps wearing a mask to conceal my identity for the time being."


    "Really?" udina''s face beamed with joy as she stepped closer to Arthur, and before she could


    realize it, she had already wrapped her arms around him. "Thanks, Arthur!"


    Arthur tenderly patted udina''s shoulder, but she was too embarrassed to show any response, and


    her cheeks flushed. She quickly stepped back, avoiding eye contact. "Oh my god, what have I done,"


    she whispered to herself.
