At that moment, chaos erupted backstage.


    During such a grand entrance ceremony, if Tawanna’s safety rope couldn’t be loosened and she ended up dangling awkwardly in midair, it would be an embarrassment seen by the entire world.


    Even before the performance began, the crew would have scrambled to rescue her, and the incident would have dominated headlines across the global entertainment industry.


    However, rescuing Tawanna in this situation was extremely difficult.


    Her safety rope was controlled by an electric winch installed at the top of the stage.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The winch operated via a wire controller, which was being frantically pressed by a staff member backstage in a desperate attempt to release the rope.


    Under normal circumstances, they would visually monitor the rope’s tension and gradually loosen it in sync with Tawanna’s descent—simr to how someone controls the rope while bying a climber.<fndad8> Discover more novels at f?ndnovel</fndad8>


    But now, something had gone terribly wrong. The winch was stuck.


    It could be an issue with the wire controller, a mechanical failure, or even a power supply problem.


    Unfortunately, the winch was designed to lock its brakes when powered off to prevent idents. Because of this safety mechanism, even though the rope extended for dozens of meters, it couldn’t be released at this critical moment.


    The staff nearly broke the remote control switch in frustration, but nothing worked.


    Meanwhile, Tawanna was on the verge of breaking down.


    charlie, watching from the audience, had been eagerly anticipating this concert.


    If an ident happened right at the start—leaving him suspended in midair like a fool, dozens of meters above the stage—it wouldpletely shatter hisposure.


    Just then, a staff member suddenly shouted, “Stop lowering the big screen! Pull it back first and fix the issue before trying again. Inform the audience that the opening will be dyed by ten minutes!”


    Everyone agreed this was likely the best course of action at the moment.


    Although Tawanna felt disappointed, there was no better option. Retracting the big screen was certainly preferable to hanging in midair alone.


    It seemed like the most reasonable solution under the circumstances.


    However, charlie had a different perspective. The big screen had already begun its dramatic descent. If they suddenly retracted it now, it would look absurd—like watching a video y in reversepletely ruining the intended shock and excitement.


    Instead of rewinding the scene and bringing Tawanna back for another entrance, it would be better to discreetly rescue her after retracting the screen and then have her appear on stage using the stage elevator.


    While this wouldn’t be as breathtaking as descending from the top of the big screen, at least it wouldn’t be embarrassing.


    Besides, since the screen had only just started to fall, the audience hadn’t seen Tawanna yet.


    Still, as charlie considered it further, he realized this wasn’t the perfect solution either. The best approach would be to let the scene y out naturally.


    Since the audience had already seen the big screen slowly descending, they were likely expecting Tawanna to make her entrance from behind it. Now, they were simply waiting to confirm their guess and be amazed.


    Without hesitation, charlie shouted to the nearby staff, “Don’t retract the big screen—keep lowering it!”


    The stage director blurted out, “But Tawanna can’t hold on much longer! If we keep lowering it, the safety rope will leave her hanging in midair!”


    charlie wasn’t concerned. He ordered firmly, “Just do as I say. There’s a problem with the safety rope—it’s about to snap!”
