A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 980

"S-Soul?"

The moment those words were spoken, Mateo's expression shifted slightly.

Not just him—even those who had been clamoring for Jack to leave froze, wondering if Luca was joking.

Could the handsome young man standing next to Luca really be… Soul? The one who sang "Time", "Heart's Desire", and the even more moving "Youth"?

No way… That was impossible, right? Everyone was skeptical.

Luca nodded, first giving Jack an apologetic glance before speaking slowly. "That's right. He's Soul."

He hadn't planned to reveal Jack's identity, but Mateo had gone too far. And if he stayed silent, there was a real chance Jack would be tossed out by security. He couldn't let that happen, so he spoke up and dropped the name.

But he hadn't expected such a strong reaction from everyone around them. Clearly, Soul's fame was still enormous. Even after stepping out of the spotlight, his influence hadn't faded one bit.

Sure enough, a female fan nearby stammered, "L-Luca… are you serious?"

"He's the real deal. There's no doubt about it."

Suddenly, the crowd, which had been still, erupted in excitement.

"Wait… Is he really Soul? With a face like that, no way he's a fake."

"I don't know… Soul did perform live before. I even traveled from the capital to Alnewgo to see him. But no one ever saw his real face."

"Wait a second. It all adds up! Remember? It was just revealed that Soul graduated from Alnewgo University. And Luca went there too!"

In an instant, what had been hushed whispers exploded into full-blown frenzy.

Soul's charisma in the music world was unmatched. His song downloads soared beyond measure—a record-breaking figure that set a new high.

Watching the fans' wild reaction, Mateo was completely baffled.

When NEOX made their entrance, their fans had never gone this crazy. Could this Soul person really be more popular than him?

NEOX's members were all megastars in the industry. What was Soul compared to them?

Next to a global icon like himself, Soul was nothing.

Fuming, Mateo sneered. "So what if he's Soul? Is he really that famous? I don't think he's ever been on any big variety shows. He hasn't won any major awards either. At best, he's just a self-taught amateur with a shady reputation. Luca, aren't you embarrassed to hype someone like that?"
