<h4>Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Arrogant Master and Servant_1</h4>


    The esteemed pianist, the highly acimed Yegor, was being coerced into ying apaniment for a striptease performance. Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t imagine it if he hadn’t heard it with his own ears!


    Moreover, how would that even work...


    Out of curiosity, Bai Xiaosheng had Red Lotus search for recent news about the pianist,piling it for him.


    In almost an instant, Bai Xiaosheng understood Yegor’s situation—


    Years ago, the UE Country was hit by an economic crisis.


    Yegor’s wife failed in her investments, amassing a huge debt, and ultimately suffered a mental breakdown.


    Yegor was praised by the media for his unwavering support, paying off his wife’s debts without leaving her side.


    However, because of this, he also signed a long contract with a major band.


    Not just him, a considerable number of his former band members were also affected by the economic crisis and were forced to sign the contract with him.


    The contract would be up by the end of this year, but if breached before its expiration, he and his team would face an incalcble amount ofpensation!


    After knowing all this, Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze grew much colder.


    If it were just a sh with normal work, he might not have said anything, but hearing about Yegor being harassed made him feel suddenly that he should step in to help.


    And he wanted that performance too!


    Bai Xiaosheng asked Yegor to hand the phone over to the person on the other end.


    At this moment, Yegor was on stage at a performance hall, and sitting below was a single tall, handsome young man with Caucasian features, an arrogant expression, and amorous eyes tightly focused on a group of seductively dressed dancers on stage. Standing beside him was a lean man with a blend of Eastern and Western features, who was loudly berating Yegor on stage.


    The insults wereing from his mouth.


    This young man was the Sharvey Band’s Young Regiment Leader Sedor, to whom they had "sold themselves" through the contract, and the screaming man was Yvonne, of Japanese mixed descent.


    Sedor nced at the old man on stage, still holding the phone, and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow.


    What a performing artist!


    In his view, the man was nothing more than a money-making machine, not much nobler than a piano or a trumpet!


    Since Yegor had signed with their band, he was their property.


    With the contract nearing its "expiration," he naturally felt nopunction about using him!


    If the old man could no longer keep face, let him break the contract then!


    Their band would be delighted!


    A hugepensation was such a wonderful thing, the scent of money, irresistibly tempting!


    "Yvonne, tell him to hang up!" Sedor urged in a low voice.


    Immediately getting the hint, Yvonne smirked obsequiously at his master and bellowed again, "Stop talking nonsense, do you understand! Don’t take Young Regiment Leader Sedor’s leniency as your capital for insolence! You..."


    On stage, Yegor turned his head to look this way, an angry expression on his face, and he marched straight toward them.


    The now fifty-something Yegor, of the so-called warrior nation, with his towering height of one meter ny, luxuriant hair and beard, and muscr build, looked ferocious with rage in his eyes as he approached Yvonne.


    Yvonne, of mixed descent, was short and thin. Seeing Yegor’s threatening approach, his face instantly changed color with fear.


    "You, what are you trying to do, don’t be reckless! Young Regiment Leader Sedor, look at him..." Yvonne was suddenly panicking.


    "Mr. Yegor, please, don’t be impulsive!" Sedor was taken aback as well, quickly getting to his feet, his eyes showing a hint of fear.


    In his heart, Sedor even secretly regretted that perhaps they had pushed Yegor too far, and in a fit of rage, Yegor might do something terrible, which would only spell trouble for himself!


    Just as the master and servant’s expressions turned to one of panic, Yegor’s gaze held a hint of contempt as he stiffly handed over the phone to Yvonne.


    His hands were meant to y the piano, not to get into scuffles.


    "Someone wants to talk to you!" Yegor said in a muffled voice.


    Bai Xiaosheng wanted to speak with Yvonne, but Yegor initially disagreed. In his view, this matter was unrted to Bai Xiaosheng and there was no need to involve him.


    However, Bai Xiaosheng very firmly told him that he had a way to solve it.


    Yegor still disagreed.


    Then Bai Xiaosheng gave him two options, either Yegor handed over the phone to the other party, or he would honor the original agreement to perform tomorrow as promised.


    Only then did Yegor agree.


    Yvonne looked at Young Regiment Leader Sedor, took the phone with a mix of surprise and suspicion, "Hello, I am the assistant to the Sharvey Band’s Young Regiment Leader Sedor, Yvonne, who are you? What do you want to talk to me about?"


    "I am a friend of Mr. Yegor, and ording to our agreement, he will perform for me tomorrow!"


    Bai Xiaosheng spoke in thenguage of UE Country through the phone, his voice detached, "I don’t know what your young regiment leader is nning, provoking Yegor to take drastic actions and then using a breach of contract to bind him again. I can tolerate these. However, you even made a pianist move aside for your striptease, which is a desecration!"


    "I demand that you stop such actions and allow him to fulfill his promise!"


    Bai Xiaosheng’s voice was stern.


    Such harsh words left Yvonne bewildered and he cautiously asked, "Are you a UE Country national?"


    Yvonne wanted to figure out the background of the person on the other end.


    "From Zhongjing." Bai Xiaosheng said coldly.


    "Zhongjing? Here?!" eximed Yvonne, and then let out a sigh, his face full of arrogance, his tone mocking, "Then I’m afraid I cannot agree! Just a Chinese person, hehe, you think you can intervene? Do you have the clout for that! Fool!"


    "Can you stand by your words?" Bai Xiaosheng’s voice was cool.


    "Haha, stand by my words! What can you do to me,e on then!" Saying this, Yvonne hung up the phone and thrust it back at Yegor.


    Yvonne had also realized that Yegor had no intention of getting physical, which emboldened him.


    "Mr. Yegor, this is who you are relying on, a prideful and foolish Easterner who doesn’t know his own strength?" Yvonneughed heartily, even describing the content of the call to Young Regiment Leader Sedor.


    "You cannot mock my friend!" Yegor shouted angrily.


    "Your friend, are you sure it’s the person on the phone, or those in your band?!" Sedor sneered, "It doesn’t matter to you, intent on breaking the contract, so are they the same? Can I understand it that way! Mr. Yegor!"


    Sedor’s voice grew louder with each word.


    He too had seen that Yegor wouldn’t get physical!


    "Don’t let a mere Easterner influence the rtionship between us, right, Yegor?" Sedor said with a smile.


    Yegor looked dejected, helplessly turning around and walking towards the piano.


    Behind him.


    Sedor and Yvonneughed unrestrainedly.


    "Haha, to think he’s relying on an Easterner to threaten us! I really don’t understand what he’s thinking. If that Easterner could actually make us taste defeat, I’d be willing to swallow this chair!"


    "Then you won’t need dinner tonight, Yvonne! You shouldn’t mock that Easterner, after all, he is Mr. Yegor’s friend, haha!"


    Listening to the mockery behind him, Yegor clenched his teeth and fists tightly, a profound sadness welling up in his heart.


    At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng looked at his phone, his expression harsh, "You invited me to just try? Well then!"
