The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 649 Deaf to Music



The three-minute performance ended as abruptly as it began. The music ceased, and everyone was a mess of tears except Daniel, who continued to stand relaxed, hands in his pockets, cheerfully looking at Declan.

"Declan, your piano playing was decent, but you couldn't move me. So, it's clear you've lost this round," Daniel said with a grin.

Declan was both angry and frustrated. How could he, with all his skills and his signature piece, fail to move this country bumpkin?

Then it dawned on him. He understood why Daniel wasn't touched by his music-it wasn't that his piano skills fell short, but that Daniel simply didn't understand music at all.

"Country bumpkin, now I get it. You didn't cry because you can't appreciate the music. It's not that my playing wasn't good enough; you're just tone- deaf. Playing the piano for you is a waste!" Declan scoffed, rolling his eyes. "You can't grasp the emotions in my piece!"

A sudden thought struck Declan, prompting him to add quickly, "Even though I didn't move you to tears, many others here cried, proving my performance was a success. That means you've lost!"

"All these people cried? How many exactly? Why don't you count them? I bet after I play, there will be even more tears."
