The moment Don refused Dr. Gadget's suggestion, it was as if a collective breath had been sucked out of the stadium.
The crowd, previously screaming with excitement for Starboy, suddenly fell silent, stunned that someone had dared to speak so directly to their golden hero.
Whispers quickly began spreading through the stands, but the shock and disbelief remained.
Up in the VIP viewing area, Don's reply caused a bunch of reactions as well.
The high-profile attendees in the room exchanged quick glances, their whispers low but unmistakably intrigued.
Most of them recovered quickly, fixing their expressions and pretending to be unbothered by the bold declaration Don made. Yet, despite their best efforts to hide their curiosity, there was no denying that Don's words had sparked something—if only for a moment.
