With many people holding high-priced tickets, ticket and identity verification would be critical. Tight security and proper checks could eliminate opportunities for scalpers and resellers. charlie Wade wanted to personally observe how this process was handled.


    When he arrived at the Olympic Center, the area outside the venue was already teeming with people.


    He couldn’t understand why such a massive crowd had gathered so early, considering the show wouldn’t begin until the evening.


    After making his way through the staff entrance and entering the venue, Tawana’s agent greeted him and led him to the performance area.


    The stage was fully constructed by this time. It featured a T-shaped design, and the background extended nearly to the ceiling of the entire venue. The towering backdrop was actually an assembled front LCD screen.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Tawana stood at the front of the elevated tform. The on-site camera captured her full-body image, projecting it onto the massive LCD screen behind her. On the screen, she appeared like a towering mecha from a science fiction movie, dozens of meters tall.


    Arge group of staff membersmunicated with Tawana through intes. She didn’t use a microphone but relied on the inte clipped to her waist to confirm positions and other details with the crew.


    The agent turned to charlie Wade with a smile and said, “The fans outside are incredibly excited. Earlier, just testing the microphone by saying ‘check’ caused the fans to erupt in cheers. The noise was so loud that it made it difficult for us to hear each other. We don’t dare to transmit any sound through the venue’s system right now.”<fn6809> For original chapters go to </fn6809>


    charlie Wade smiled and replied, “That’s understandable. This is Tawana’s first concert in China, so it’s a significant moment for her fans. I was surprised, too, when I arrived earlier and saw so many people already gathered here. They must be exhausted, but they all seem so happy. That’s the power of an idol.”


    The agent nodded and asked, “Mr. Wade, would you like to stay here or head backstage to rest? Mr. Kennedy is back there.”


    The “Mr. Kennedy” the agent referred to was Trevor Kennedy, Tawana’s boyfriend.


    charlie Wade replied without hesitation, “You go ahead with your work; don’t worry about me. I’ll just stay here.”


    The agent handed him two badges and exined, “Mr. Wade, these badges are exclusive to special consultants. They contain anti-counterfeiting chips, allowing you and your wife to ess any area of the venue freely. They’re valid not only for today’s concert but for the next 19 concerts in this tour as well.”


    charlie Wade took the badges with a smile and said, “Thank you.”


    The agent added, “If you need more badges, let me know, and I’ll arrange them for you. If there are any issues with these, just inform me, and I’ll rece them while invalidating the old ones.”


    “Understood,” charlie Wade replied.
