Supreme Casanova: Ultimate Harem System-Chapter 289: Dinner! (End)

Hugo stood in front of the grand piano, his fingers hovering just above the glossy black keys, feeling like he had just walked into the middle of a medieval battlefield with no sword.

The entire hall was silent, the tension so thick it could probably be cut with one of those stupidly expensive silver knives the rich people here used for their overpriced steak.

Ethan was sitting beside him on the other piano bench, smirking like he had already won, like this was just some formal execution of Hugo's dignity.

The bastard was confident—too confident. And Hugo knew why.

Because Ethan was most likely a trained pianist.

Like, the kind who had spent a few years playing in high-end conservatories, the kind who probably grew up with world-class piano instructors instead of video game tutorials.

The kind of rich kid who had been forced to take music lessons before he even learned how to tie his shoes.

This wasn't just a casual challenge. This was a high-stakes public humiliation attempt.

But Hugo had one thing Ethan didn't have.

A goddamn system.

And the moment Hugo saw the glowing blue notification in his vision, he knew exactly what he had to do.

Because he actually received a challenge from the system!

—————

[Ding! New Challenge Issued: Win the Piano Battle Against Ethan! ]

- Failure: Immediate loss of face and dignity. Also, Emily might think you're an idiot.

- Reward: 5000 Credits and Points.

[Current Piano Mastery: 0/100]

[Would you like to purchase "Basic Piano Mastery Slot" for 1000 credits?]

—————

Hugo's lips twitched. Hell yes, he would. Even the system wanted him to teach this son of dog a lesson!

He would do it gladly!

Ding!

[Basic Piano Mastery Acquired! (0/100)]

[You have 25 Mastery Points left. Would you like to invest them into Piano Mastery?]

Hugo answered yes without hesitation. Oh, he was about to ruin Ethan's entire night and he would enjoy every moment of it!

[Piano Mastery: 25/100]

The second the mastery points settled, the usual surge of pain hut Hugo. His brows furrowed and he clenched his fists to just barely control the insane pain he was currently under.

After 5 agonizing minutes in silence, something clicked in Hugo's brain.

He suddenly knew where to place his fingers, how to move his hands, how to flow across the keys without looking like a struggling toddler.

It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough to compete. And right now, that was all he needed.

Ethan sighed dramatically and cracked his knuckles like he was about to deliver the performance of a lifetime.

"I'll go first, of course," he said smugly. "I wouldn't want to put you under any unnecessary pressure."

Hugo resisted the urge to flip the entire piano on him.

Ethan set his fingers on the keys, took a deep breath—and then he played.

And Hugo had to admit… it was damn good.

Ethan's hands moved like he had been born on that piano bench, every note flowing smoothly into the next, his fingers dancing across the keys with absolute precision.

It was some dramatic, ultra-classical, "I've been rich since birth" kind of piece, the kind that made people in the crowd nod seriously and whisper things like, "Ah, yes. Exquisite technique."

The entire room was enraptured, the polished sound filling the massive hall like a perfectly tuned symphony.

And Hugo? Hugo was sweating.

Because that was a performance. A real, professional performance. If Hugo had tried to play before the system upgrade, he would've been laughed out of the mansion!

But now… now he had a fighting chance.

Still, he wasn't too confident. And so, gritting his teeth, he converted all his remaining 5000 points into 5 more Mastery Points and added it to his piano mastery.

Luckily, he had saved up enough points after his sex with Lisa, almost having sex with Celine and receiving head from Erica in the car.

It was just enough to make the purchase.

Ethan played his last note with a flourish, lifting his hands with a dramatic pause as if he had just delivered the greatest piano performance in modern history.

And the room burst into applause.

He turned to Hugo, smirk practically dripping with condescension. "Your turn," he said, his voice so smooth Hugo wanted to throw a drink at his face.

Hugo rolled his shoulders, flexed his fingers, and cracked his neck. Alright. Showtime.

He placed his hands on the keys, took a deep breath—and then he let the system take over.

At first, it was slow. Simple. He started with a melody that was light, almost playful, the kind of tune that made people lean in instead of tuning out. And then—he built on it!

His hands moved faster, smoother, weaving notes together like a carefully crafted spell, drawing the audience in with every shift in rhythm.

He wasn't just playing a song—he was telling a story. A story of rising action, dramatic tension, and a climax that made the entire hall hold their breath.

His fingers glided across the keys like he had been playing for years, the music swelling, twisting, and wrapping around the audience like a hypnotic trance.

And then... he ended it.

A perfect last note. A lingering silence. And then...

The room erupted.

The applause was instant and overwhelming, louder than the polite claps Ethan had gotten. Hugo stood up, taking a slow, casual bow, feeling like a goddamn legend.

Ethan looked like he had just been punched in the gut. His smirk? Gone. His confidence? Shattered. Hugo had played him at his own game and won!

Hugo turned to Emily, flashing his most charming smile. "Emily," he said smoothly, offering his hand. "Dance with me."

Because of course, Ethan had planned to ask her next.

Ethan stiffened, turning to Emily like he was expecting her to refuse. But instead, Emily's cheeks turned pink.

She glanced between them, hesitated for only a second—and then she took Hugo's hand.

And just like that, Ethan was officially defeated.

The entire hall watched as Hugo led Emily to the dance floor, the music shifting to something slower, something softer.

He pulled her close, one hand on her waist, the other holding hers, and as they swayed in the center of the room, Hugo couldn't help but grin.

Because not only had he destroyed Ethan in front of everyone, but now he was slow-dancing with the girl Ethan still wanted.

Perfect.

Hehe...
