My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! -
Chapter 465 Shocking The Entire Crowd!
The "Prelude and Fugue in G minor" was another prelude from Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier", which Henry had played earlier.
Jordan enjoyed a fair challenge. Since Henry had played a prelude from Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier", he would play a prelude from the same piece too. And Jordan's choice of this prelude would definitely move the guests more than Henry's earlier performance.
This prelude had tens of millions of views on music platforms. Even those who didn't play the piano or listen to classical music would usually recognize the familiar tune.
Henry had heard of this prelude before. He knew that the speed of this piece was around 100 beats per minute. To play the piano blind at such a fast speed was simply a fool's dream! He had expected Jordan to play something simple like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
But this piece! To play this piece blind at the proper speed, one had to be highly coordinated with his hands. Henry didn't believe that anyone in this world could do it!
Jordan snorted coldly at Henry's provocation. "You want to acknowledge me as your teacher? I'm sorry, but you are not worthy! I don't accept arrogant students!"
"You..."
Henry was furious, but he did not continue to argue with him. Anyway, Jordan was boasting in front of so many people. Henry wanted to see how he would live up to his claims! It would not be too late for Henry to reprimand Jordan after he had failed!
The arena fell silent. Jordan placed his hands on the piano keys. At that moment, Lauren was still holding Jordan's fingers as she guided him, "Hubby, this is middle C." "Okay."
Jordan pretended he could not see and that he only managed to replace the piano keys with his wife's guidance.
Then...
Once his fingers pressed down on the keys...
A soothing melody flowed out of the piano!
Jordan's hands danced over the piano keys. His speed was the same as the original. He did not slow down at all because of his blindness. Moreover, his accuracy was 100 percent! It was true that Henry had some talent. Not only was his jumping skills outstanding, but he also had a good ear. So he would be able to detect if Jordan played a single wrong note! However, after Jordan had been playing for nearly half a minute, Henry was surprised to replace that he did not play a single note wrong!
"How is this possible?!"
Henry looked at Jordan in shock.
"If one has a son, he should be like Jordan!"
Jordan's father-in-law, Stefan, smiled in relief when he saw his son-in-law's blind performance.
Martin was shocked. "What kind of training did the Steele family give him?! He can play blind! He's too outstanding!"
Even Marissa was bewildered. "Is Jordan... that formidable?"
She hoped that her son-in-law would be trash so that Lauren could divorce him without any qualms. However, even she had to admire his outstanding performance! Needless to say, the other guests were all stunned.
The only person who should not be surprised was Lauren. She knew that Jordan was pretending to be blind.
Even so, she was also covering her mouth in shock! She realized that Jordan was not looking at the piano keys at all. Instead, his face was pointed into the distance, his eyes closed. "He... is really playing blind!"
It was just a classic Bach piece. There was no need for Jordan to win against Henry with deception. Play the piano blind? So what? Jordan could do it with ease! "Hubby..."
Seeing how majestic Jordan was now, Lauren admired him even more.
It was a very lovely and touching tune. It could make people lose themselves in their imagination.
In the beginning, everyone was just shocked by how Jordan could play blind. But they soon forgot about that.
They were all immersed in the musical world that Jordan had created.
Of course, it was impossible for Jordan to really play the piano completely blind. He would still glance down occasionally at the keys.
No one noticed that at this moment, a female service staff in the courtyard was looking at Jordan in a daze. She was dressed in the staff uniform which was a cheongsam with tears flowing down her face.
This female service staff had astonishing looks. She had a voluptuous figure and was very curvy. Wearing that cheongsam, she looked like an upper-class lady.
"His eyes are fine... he's not blind..."
The woman smiled happily as tears flowed down her face.
The piano performance ended and deafening applause rang out! It was 10 times louder than the applause for Henry's earlier performance!
"Amazing! I've never seen a blind person play so well in my life!"
"His piano attainments are probably already at their peak!"
"Mr. Howard Sr., your grandson-in-law is a genius!"
Martin laughed. "You're too kind."
Henry felt very embarrassed. He couldn't even compare to a blind person?
Sauntering over to the piano, Henry questioned, "Jordan, are you pretending to be blind? Are you trying to fool everyone and make them think that you can play blind?"
Cayden looked carefully at Jordan when he heard that.
Jordan replied calmly, "You suspect that I'm faking it?
That's easy. I'll take off my sunglasses and cover my eyes with something else. I'll play the piece again. If I can still play it, you must bow to me 10 times and call me Grandpa. How about that?" Henry did not dare to take this gamble because he had seen that Jordan did not look at the piano keys most of the time while playing.
"Hahaha..." Henry gave a loud laugh." I will admit that you can play the piano better than me, but then again, I never considered myself to be exceptional at the piano. I'm an all-rounder, not a specialist!" Jordan said, "I will teach you a lesson today, you self-proclaimed all-rounder! You performed a slam dunk just now, right? I will perform a slam dunk also." Everyone was stunned.
"What? The son-in-law of the Howard family is going to do a slam dunk?"
"Did I hear wrongly? A blind person who can't even walk properly, yet he wants to jump up and do a slam dunk?"
Henry was also shocked. "Blind Slam Dunk!"
Actually, for people who knew basketball, such a slam dunk had been carried out before!
In the 1991 All-Star Game Slam Dunk Competition, Dee Brown performed a slam dunk while covering his eyes with one arm! With that, Dee Brown defeated Shawn Kemp and won the title of champion! "No... impossible... he's definitely no Dee Brown. Even Dee Brown only started to cover his eyes while in mid-air. He was able to see the hoop right up until then. Jordan can't see anything now. He doesn't ever know
where the hoop is. How can he slam dunk?!"
The crowd erupted. Martin stood up and said to the Howard family.
"If Jordan can complete the slam dunk while blind, I don't want to hear anyone calling him trash anymore!"
His words were clearly directed at Marissa. She had always believed that Jordan was blind and could not do anything. If Jordan could perform a slam dunk now, it would be akin to a tight slap across his mother-in-law's face!
