Murder is a Crime

Back at the gala, Iris did her iconic curtsy bow after her performance of "Monster of Insanity" with Pandemonium. The hall was filled with deafening applause, cheers and whistling. Even those who didn't particularly enjoy rock music couldn't help but feel absorbed by the performance.

There was just something about the way Iris Long performed that completely grabbed everyone's attention and focus. It was like being spellbound. Even when the song finally ended, they still felt it resonate within them like a buzz from a fine, exotic wine. 

While Iris and the Pandemonium band members were basking in the audience's adoration, Jin Chonglin felt a little threatened. Just a bit. 

"Damn, Sister Xiulan's voice levelled up again," he muttered while clapping. 

Lin Dong nodded. "Her voice sounds more mature."
