The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era Chapter 132 - SKEWED FOCUS

Chapter 132 - SKEWED FOCUS

THE teenager on the screen was wearing a white shirt with a loose neckline and a pair of black trousers that were folded just above his ankles. His clothes revealed a white expanse of chest, as well as his delicate ankles. Wulfric simply couldn't take his eyes off of him.
It's like a spell had been casted on him and he became captivated. That was until he realized he was not the only one seeing Aster like this. And the worse thing was, he was seeing all of this at a distance while those people on the shore were seeing it up close.
His gaze quickly shifted to the people on the shore and just as he expected, almost all of them were ogling the teenager.
An unknown anger quickly shot from inside him. He didn't like how those people were looking at Aster like that. It's like they were dirtying him. He just wanted to go there and gouge their eyes out.
"Why is he wearing something so revealing? Isn't he just here to help with that filming crew? Why did he have to wear so little?" he couldn't help but exclaimed in anger.
Edmund suddenly had a question mark on his head. Revealing clothes? He had to look at Astrid again to confirm that he was seeing the same thing as the general. But he only saw was a teenager wearing a shirt and pants.
Hildred, on the other hand, almost burst out laughing when he heard what Wulf's complains. Because he sounded like an overprotective, jealous boyfriend. But he knew that if he teased him about that, he would vehemently refuse. He might even receive a beating.
He looked at the virtual screen. Astrid was now talking to a woman who seemed to be the one in-charge. Frankly speaking, the kid was really the type that could attract anyone's attention. He just didn't expect that Wulf of all people would be attracted to this type.
Maybe something happened while he was interacting with the other at Delryria to become this attached. If you know Wulf at all, then that was almost like a miracle. With the Fenris Squad, it took them experiencing life and death situations together for Wulf to truly be attached to them. And yet, in just a few hours in Delryria, this teenager, no, this kid, managed to attract Wulf to this level.
Hildred actually thought that the meeting between the two didn't really affect Wulf that much. Because after watching that video of the kid crying and begging for his life and his family, Wulf had never mentioned him again.
But seeing his reaction now after meeting Astrid again, it seemed that he just put it the very back of his mind. And now that he saw the teenager again, it simply came back with a vengeance.
He smiled unknowingly. This would be definitely be interesting to watch.
Should he make it more interesting then?
"Astrid is probably the star of this music video," he said.
Wulf, who had been staring intensely at the virtual screen as if he wanted to kill every person in there except Astrid, turned sharply towards Hildred.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, for one, he's obviously dressed by a stylist. He wouldn't be if he's just an ordinary member of the film crew. And second, remember what I told you earlier about him trending on [Cyberspace] three weeks ago? Well, it's because he tried to talk it out with a hostage taker to make the other release the kid he took hostage. That scene was the one that got uploaded on [Cyberspace] and it just completely blew up."
Wulfric stood up from where he was sitting. "What? Why was he taking on some hostage taker? What was the military responsible for that area doing? They should all be fired! No, I need to know what happened to that hostage taker and make sure that he would be punished thoroughly," he said, his whole body suddenly emanating cold killing intent.
Hildred was speechless. That didn't happen often. But at these few seconds, Wulf managed to do that. Really, after all the things that he said, the other really just focused on that part about the hostage taker? He couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. It seemed like their prince had already gone the far end.
He sighed. "Wulf, I think your focus was on the wrong side. I think you should be asking why he was able to take on a hostage taker without any fear and yet showed such a cowardly attitude on that video that Ed took. And if he really is the star of this music video, that means that the major reason he came here at the capital was to join the entertainment industry as an actor. You understand, right? That he most likely only used a cowardly act so he could get you off his back."
Wulfric stopped. And it was his turn to be silent.

"Are the sound pods safely snuggled in your ears?" the director asked.
Astrid touched the thing that was similar to an airpod, albeit much smaller, that was attached to his ear. "Yes, Director."
"We will shoot some scenes here. Whatever part of the song started playing in the sound pods, I want you to show me the emotions it portrays. I will randomly play those parts of the song. You have to react quickly and give me the emotion that the song is asking. Think you can handle it?"
Harper knew that what she's asking was hard. It was even a bit unreasonable. Many would panic and just forget how they should act altogether. Most of the people that starred in the music videos she shot had that problem. Only a number managed to quickly adapt to her requirements.
But even so, she still wouldn't take it easy. Because she wanted that raw emotions. She wouldn't lower her standards for anyone, no matter who they might be. If they couldn't keep up with her standards no matter how much directions she gave, then they're simply talentless.
As expected, Astrid didn't complain and just smiled instead. "Don't worry, Director. I think I can handle it."
