Chapter 664
They started to mock Gale coldly again.
Gale did not bother with them. Instead, she frowned as she looked over at Joshua.
He furrowed his little eyebrows a bit, but he still maintained his natural composure.
At that moment, the screen showed all the audience votes.
The votes were rapidly increasing.
Joshua was firmly in the first place.
Gale quickly calculated in her head. The judges’ score took up seventy percent of the points, so being 0.1 points
lower, how much would Joshua need in terms of votes to secure first place?
She was quite anxious, so her mind did not work as well as it usually did.
Before Gale could finish calculating, Nicole suddenly pointed at the screen and shouted, “Mommy, look!”
She saw the number of votes behind Joshua’s name rapidly increasing.
Before a minute passed, Joshua’s votes had already exceeded the votes the second place got by three times!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was firmly in the first place!
The voting period was already counting down.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
When time stopped, and the votes stopped coming in, Joshua’s name was firmly in the first place!
Gale did not even need to bother counting the numbers.
Compared to the 0.1 point difference from the judges, tens of thousands of votes were worth so much
more!
Joshua placing first had been firmly confirmed by the audience!
Gale never expected that the viewers in front of the TVs and various screens were all shouting out injustice during
the voting period. They did everything they could to protect Joshua.
“Isn’t this clearly something behind the scenes at play?! The one with 9.9 points is clearly doing something!”
“Let’s vote! We have to make sure Joshua gets first place!”
“Yes, vote for him! Everyone, vote for him!”
“I refuse to believe we can’t beat the 9.9 point!”
*Joshua is the first place in our hearts! No one else can even dream about it!”
There was no longer any need to count the score.
Joshua was in the first place!
He was definitely the champion!
However, Joshua’s expression was very calm the whole time.
He merely looked at the screen silently.
He knew very well how that 0.1 point difference came about.
He was a smart boy. He already knew how the points system in the tournament went.
Someone must have bought two of the judges, and they gave him low points to pull down his score, which was how
he got 9.8 points.
The participant with 9.9 points might not have scored full marks, but the judges gave him more or less the same
scores, so the participant was able to exceed Joshua.
The person who did all of that probably never expected that even if the judges could be bought, the ones watching
the tournament still had sharp eyes!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe audience at the venue was incredibly excited. They shouted out, “Joshua, champion! Joshua, Champion!
Someone led the way, and a lot of them started to cheer with him.
The tournament venue seemed to turn into Joshua’s personal concert.
In the end, Joshua was still the winner.
There were some who liked it, but some people were concerned about it.
The award ceremony started. Joshua stood in the middle of the stage, accepting the trophy and wearing the crown
before he took the certificate.
He was the champion!
He was a worthy champion!
The host said, “Congratulations! Congratulations to Joshua Warm for winning the tournament! With his Piano
Concerto No.3, he managed to win over the judges and win over the audiences in front of their
screens!”
“Let’s celebrate this piano genius! Tonight, the spotlight is firmly on him!”
Joshua was incredibly calm in front of such a large celebration and so many cheers. He did not reveal that much
emotion on his face.
