The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

Chapter 414 MISSING YOU

414 MISSING YOU

WULFRIC was browsing [Cyberspace] for any articles and news related to Aster. Of course, the Terminal he’s using was not his real Terminal. He’s undercover right now, using his real Terminal was almost akin to revealing his identity.

Although it probably wouldn’t be discovered considering how advance the technology of their army was. But still, Leland being Leland, didn’t leave it to fate and made sure that there wouldn’t be anything that could question their identity.

It’s a hassle for Wulfric though. What if Aster tried to contact him and he couldn’t answer the other? What if Aster thought that he was ignoring him? He couldn’t let that happen!

That’s why he told Leland to ask someone to modify the Terminal he would use for this mission. To make it so that the messages and call he would receive from Astrid’s Terminal number would be connected to the Terminal he’s currently using.

But it’s been four days since their last message exchange and he still hadn’t receive any message or call from the other. It’s making Wulfric a bit depressed. He was hoping that Aster would at least contact him.

But then again, it was him who told the other that he might not be able to contact him for a while because of his mission. What if Aster was just worrying that he might disturb him and this was just him being considerate? Well, if that’s the case, then Wulfric hoped that the other could bother him more.

As he was browsing on [Cyberspace], which he had customized so it would only show topics related to Aster, he saw a post that caught his attention.

[Look, I just saw Astrid on Blitz Land! Is he filming a show there?]

Attached to the post was a photo of Aster walking around some kind of theme park with a kid beside him. The kid’s face wasn’t shown clearly, but Aster’s face was easily recognizable.

.....

He was smiling down at the kid. It’s not the kind of ‘actor’ smile that Wulfric would often see Aster show to people he’s not familiar with. It’s a smile that was only reserved to those he was closed to. Which meant that Aster must have really liked the kid he’s with.

He read the comments below the post.

[Wow, it’s really Astrid. Is he as pretty in real life?]

Of course, he is. – Wulfric answered inside. Aster even looked much better in person.

As if agreeing with him, the original poster replied under that comment.

[He’s much more beautiful! Once you see him, you’ll think ‘ah, is this what it feels to see a celebrity?’.]

Wulfric nodded at that comment in agreement.

[But what kind of show was he filming?]

[Is the kid with him a child actor?]

[I was also there that day and I saw them! I tried to approach and ask for autograph, but I was stopped by some people who looked like bodyguards.]

[A bodyguard? Wow. Is Astrid already on the level of having bodyguards?]

[It seemed that Polaris is really giving him a lot of importance.]

[But bodyguards for someone who isn’t even on the Star List? Isn’t that too exaggerated?]

[Right? Or maybe Astrid asked it himself.]

[LOL doesn’t that mean that he’s already thinking too highly of himself when he hasn’t proven anything yet?]

Wulfric frowned when he read those series of comments. Were these people not tired of saying shit about others without any evidence?

He didn’t have to comment and defend Aster because some people had already done it before him.

[Are you people being serious right now? In which part was it mention that they were Aster’s bodyguards? Please don’t make conclusions like that when you don’t even have evidence to back it up!]

[Right, right. Just admit that you don’t like Aster.]

[Stop monitoring topics about him when you’re just a hater. It’s obvious that you only want to sow discord among his fans.]

[I also saw them in a cat cafe. But those bodyguards seemed to belong to the kid and not Astrid. I heard one of them calling him ‘young master’. In fact, Astrid was also calling the kid ‘young master’.]

Attached to that comment was a picture of Astrid and the kid inside the cat cafe. The kid was facing back to the camera so his face was not seen.

[Wait- so, he’s a rich kid? He’s not one of those who force celebrities to spend time with them, right?]

[Upstairs, isn’t your imagination a bit extreme? He’s a kid. What would he know?]

[Evil kids exist, you know?]

Wulfric stopped reading the comments and just stared at the photo of Aster with the kid in that cat cafe. He felt envious. He hadn’t even gone with Aster to such a place. What was a cat cafe even? Was it a cafe for cats? Anyway, the important thing was Aster went there with someone else first. Not to mention that theme park.

He was reminded once again of that failed aquarium date. Wulfric scratched his hair in irritation. He wished he could finish this mission quickly. Then he could plan a whole day where he could invite Aster to those places.

As he was daydreaming of that, an annoying voice suddenly spoke beside him.

“Hey, new recruit, come and have a spar with me.”

Wulfric raised his head to look at the person who just spoke. It was a man who had an unusually big body. It was obvious just by looking at the other that he had been injecting hormonal agents to make his muscles this big. He wanted to laugh seeing that. It’s not like a big build could dramatically increased a person’s strength.

He planned to just ignore the other when his Terminal received a message. When he saw who it was from, his whole face brightened. He was about to open but the annoying guy was still yapping beside him.

Wulfric stood up and kicked the other away, not caring that the man flew outside of the bar because of the force of his kick.

And then, he happily opened the message and read it.
