The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era Chapter 245 - FIRST TO MAKE A MOVE

Chapter 245 - FIRST TO MAKE A MOVE

THE more Wulfric read, the angrier he got. His entire body was being filled with killing intent that he could probably cause a massacre right now if he was allowed to. His eyes narrowed at the obvious suspicious comments. The ones that were obviously trying to start a hate train on Aster.
Another point he was annoyed at was the fact that Polaris was still not issuing any statement right now. Shouldn't they protect their artist? Would they stay silent until these people say all the bad things they could say about Aster? Should he just contact Fleming and tell him to do something?
No, that could only backfire for Aster. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down the killing intent he's feeling. If that's the case, then, he should just do it himself. Of course, under his identity as Aster's number one fan.
He temporarily closed his [Cyberspace] account and contacted Hildred. The other's face soon appeared on the virtual screen.
"What's wrong?" the other asked.
"I'll send you some [Cyberspace] account handle. I want you to track down their IP and check if they had any suspicious transactions. Especially regarding anything related to posting incriminating things on [Cyberspace]," Wulfric said.
He didn't wait for the other to reply and just sent the handles of those suspicious people to Hildred.
The other was the only one he could ask this of. If he asked Leland, that guy would definitely look at him as if he's crazy. Slade, on the other hand, wasn't really that much of an expert when it came to anything 'cyber' related. Then, there's Edmund who's basically unreliable when it came to things like this. So, at the end, he could only ask Hildred.
Hil had various connections that could easily let him investigate such things. The most important thing was once Hildred took action, it could never be traced back to him. Not to mention to Wulfric.
That last part was the point. Wulfric couldn't let anyone ever associate that the one defending Aster was actually the prince of the Empire. Although it's highly unlikely that it would happen. It didn't hurt to be careful. This was for Aster's career after all.
Besides, once his brother found out that he was this interested in someone, Cynric might just arrange a wedding for him and Aster.
He wasn't in a state where he honestly and wholeheartedly could say that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with the other. So, Cynric intervening would not only be detrimental, it might even harm the fragile relationship that he and Aster currently had.
Hildred, who was just about to ask what Wulf meant, received those handles that the other just said. Instead of asking more, he simply opened his own [Cyberspace] account and searched those account handle names. It only took less than a minute for him to understand the whole situation.
He should have known this had something to do with Astrid Townsend.
Well, he didn't really mind getting involved in this. If it could help Wulf in getting his sweetheart, then, why not?
"I'll give you the result in 30 minutes," he said.
Wulfric nodded. "Thank you."
Hildred raised his brow, not expecting the other to thank him. It's probably because this request of his had nothing to do with their job as a soldier and was completely a personal matter.
"If you want to thank me, how about giving me and Ed vacation?" he asked as a joke.
"Go and ask Leland. If he agrees, then I have no opinion."
This one was a truly unexpected gain. "Hey, Wulf, no take-backs. If you go back on your words, I'll definitely let Cyn know about you and Astrid," Hildred said in a bit of excited voice.
Wulfric wasn't so annoyed hearing that. After all, Leland was a tougher nut to crack. This vacation would all depend on Hildred getting Leland to agree. But then again, this was Hil we're talking about. Maybe that guy would simply annoy Leland to death until the other agreed.
Anyway, Hildred was probably the only one in the Empire who would dare to call the Emperor by his nickname. Even Wulfric referred to his brother by the other's name which was Cynric.
He shrugged and just ended the call, waiting until Hildred sent him the result of his investigation.

Reading the comments under the trailer of [Blind Justice]'s 100th episode, Astrid didn't show any particular reaction. Because he had already suspected something like this to happen. What surprised him a bit was that someone would really stir up trouble. Setting him up to be hated by Yujin Wells' fans.
It seemed that he really did have some fate with this Yujin Wells.
Such fanfare to deal with a newcomer like him. They were even fast enough to do it. But who would actually waste their time to deal with him when he's basically just a no-name actor right now?
The first suspicious person was Yujin Wells' team. After today's audition, with the help of that representative of Kaleido, Yujin would definitely be told of what transpired inside the audition room. Maybe they thought that he stole the other's chance for such a good role and therefore thought of this trailer as a chance to retaliate against him.
But would Kaleido's employees really be so stupid as to waste their time on a virtual newcomer? Or did they simply have the mentality of nipping the bud before it sprouted?
This would be a rather good idea if not for the fact that Astrid had Polaris behind him. Although he was only a newcomer, with Ellis as his agent, there's no way that Polaris would remain silent.
Knowing Ellis, she's probably already working to get to the bottom of things. Whether it's Yujin Wells and his team or some other person, Astrid would know soon enough.
He just had to wait.
What he didn't expect was that before Ellis could make a move, somebody else made a move before her.
