When Altes saw Forte and the others, he was extremely surprised. "Forte, why are you here on this ship too? Don't tell me you're also going to Lutom Island?"
Forte nodded. "Yeah, we're going to Lutom Island too. Isn't there going to be a major concert on the island? We want to take part."
Altes immediately showed an envious expression. "Ah, you can actually participate! I can only go and enjoy it. I don't have an invitation, so I can't take part. What should I do?"
Forte turned to McBain and asked, "Grandpa, Altes's violin skills are so good that participating in the music festival on Lutom Island shouldn't be a problem at all. Is there any way you can get him in too?"
But even McBain had no solution. "That wealthy merchant, Li Xu, doesn't invite just anyone. Or rather, he has no intention of inviting newcomers. All he wants is to bring together the world's most famous musicians to 'consecrate' the development of Lutom Island as a tourist attraction. Although Altes is very capable, he hasn't yet proven himself on a major stage like the Cavaro International Theater, so there's no way for him to get an invitation. It can't be helped."
Forte eyed him suspiciously. "Don't tell me you once proved yourself at Cavaro International Theater, Grandpa?"
McBain snorted and held his nose high. "Why can't I have performed there? Forte, you have far too little faith in your own grandfather!"
In fact, during his past travels, McBain really had left his mark on the Cavaro International Theater. One could even say that he had left behind a legend.
On that bleak, wind-swept night, McBain's accordion and the soaring song of Wendy, a diva who had only just debuted at the time, stunned Cavaro's entire music scene
