“Since you have no other opinions, the fundraising gala starts now,” Sean said firmly.
Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were furious. However, even if they were angry, they dared not show it, much less lose their temper on the spot.
After all, they had become the target of criticism. If they did anything irrational, Sean would go after them!
The fundraising gala began.
The first performance was a chorus by 20 city defense soldiers. Sean had ordered the selection of about 100 city defense soldiers who could sing or dance for the gala tonight. He turned their training time into rehearsing time.
It was time for them to show Sean and everyone else what they had been practicing.
Unfortunately, city defense soldiers were neither professional actors nor professional singers. The songs they sang were grand but not very neat. However, the audience watched attentively and enjoyed it.
After the first chorus performance, 30 city defense soldiers lined up on the stage to show military boxing.
Military boxing was a martial art that all city defense soldiers must practice. People always said military boxing was merely done for show and impractical, but it was only a common misconception.
Military boxing as a martial art could be said to be excellent.
However, no matter who learned military boxing, it was impossible for them to follow the military boxing routine when they were actually fighting someone. Instead, they had to break down the military boxing moves and use them as separate skills.
It was merely a stage show if they failed to break it down.
Most people had not studied military boxing thoroughly and only learned a bit about it. When they used military boxing in a fight and found that it did not work, they accused military boxing of being merely done for show and impractical. The statement was wrong, of course.
Thirty city defense soldiers lined up to perform military boxing one move at a time. It was quite a spectacle. It was a combat performance after military boxing.
A total of ten city defense soldiers were divided into five groups. The one-on-one combat performance could be said to be fascinating.
Many people in the audience were a little dismissive or confused at first, but they became obsessed and could not help clapping their hands and cheering for the city defense soldiers on stage after watching!
The atmosphere at the fundraising gala gradually rose.
Half an hour or so passed, and all the performances were over. Then it was the main goal of the charity fundraising gala, donations.
“For the sake of Dorodo’s development and so that Dorodo won’t have financial problems in the future, I hope everyone here can contribute generously and show our friends in the slum some kindness…”
“Of course, this is a donation. It‘s not compulsory. You can choose not to donate. I won’t stop or force you. In any case, you’re all residents of Dorodo, and we will treat everyone fairly,” Sean said with a smile before moving away from the donation collection box and standing to the side.
Quentin was the first to get up and said with a chuckle, “Commander Lennon’s right. We’re residents of Dorodo. For the sake of Dorodo and our lives in Dorodo, generously helping our poor friends isn’t unacceptable. So, I, Quentin Lewis, will take the lead in donating. I’m donating five million Dragon dollars!”
