BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189 - WHITE WOLF
If it was just Wulfric, yes, he would not hesitate to use his real name to give a tongue lashing to these people. But no, if he did that, the only one who would be affected was Aster.
For one, people might think that he had something to do with the popularity that Aster was receiving now. And whatever subsequent accomplishments he would make later on would always be connected to Wulfric. They would think that Aster accomplished all that because of him and not because of his talent. That\'s the last thing he wanted to happen..
He had seen, and even experienced himself, just how talented of an actor Aster was. If all that talent was not recognized by people just because of Wulfric\'s momentary hot-headedness, Aster would definitely dislike him even more. Maybe the other would even end up hating him. Wulfric would feel the same if he was in the same position.
He felt that instinctively. That\'s probably why, at the very last minute, he held on to his temper and used a different name.
For the name, he registered as \'White Wolf\'. It didn\'t really take that long for him to type that. It\'s something that wouldn\'t attract too much attention but still represented him in some way. Then, for a username, this was where he took a few minutes. After thinking about it, he finally settled on one -- @astridsnumber1fan.
It\'s better to own this username now when Aster still hadn\'t had a faithful group of fans following him. And why not, right? He could totally be Aster\'s number one fan.
And with that, he started replying to those comments and posts that pissed him off.
@astridsnumber1fan: [Asking to be his wife or his husband, aren\'t you too shameless? In the first place, do you honestly think you will look good together with him? Maybe if you stand beside him, instead of looking like his wife or husband, you will only look like his servant.]
@astridsnumber1fan: [You\'re calling him \'yummy\'? Just what kind of dirty eyes are you looking at him with? You should be embarrassed!]
@astridsnumber1fan: [Can we all just focus on his talent and not any other messy things? Just look at how he perfectly embodied two different characters in those photos? Do you think that\'s easy to do? I bet not many newcomers could do that.]
@astridsnumber1fan: [To those saying that Astrid is not talented, you\'re all delusional. Yes, that\'s the word.]
@astridsnumber1fan: [You think that his hair and eye color is fake? Are you just plain idiotic or what? And to those who actually believed it, you\'re an even bigger idiot. Something like that could be easily checked just clicking some buttons in your Terminal. The fact that you didn\'t speaks a lot about your IQ.]
Wulfric continued on with his barrage of replies. He didn\'t stop until he was satisfied. Then, after that, he followed Aster\'s [Cyberspace] account and tagged him on a personal post.
White Wolf: Hi @astridtownsend! I will always be here to support you in whatever endeavors you will do in the future. I can already tell that you\'ll go far in this industry. I\'m sure, one day, you will shine even brighter than you do now. All the best, from your number one fan.
He smiled after posting that. He hoped Aster could read this. Although that might be highly unlikely. He\'s probably not the only one who tagged him in their post. But even so, since he managed to vent out his irritation by replying to those posts and comments to his heart\'s content, he definitely felt better.
Wulfric closed his Terminal and walked out of the training room. Of course, not before saving all the photos of Aster he had seen in his Terminal. He made a private folder and, without even batting an eye, named it \'My Star\'.
----------
At this moment, Astrid was still browsing [Cyberspace] and reading the people\'s opinion about him. There were a lot of positive comments and posts, but there were also quite a number of negative ones.
He didn\'t mind those. It would be impossible after all to only receive positive ones. At least, most of people\'s opinions were on his favor.
And it was not just that. The number of followers on his [Cyberspace] account had been steadily increasing since he started trending. Right now, the number of his followers was about 200,000.
That was not really much, especially if one took into account the population of the whole Empire. He was sure that most of those numbers were most likely not even really fans of his. They probably only followed him because of his appearance. But that\'s fine as well. After all, getting real fans always starts with capturing the people\'s attention.
Before closing [Cyberspace], he planned to reply to at least 10 posts that were tagged to him. It\'s a way to show his appreciation without appearing too enthusiastic. Of course, he would only pick those that felt sincere enough.
As he was browsing, a particular post caught his eye. It was from someone with a username @astridsnumber1fan. Because the fact that this was their username meant that they had only probably created this account. And they probably only created it for the sole purpose of supporting him.
This would be understandable if he was some big star or something. But he was still an unknown newcomer for the most part. So, this was kind of weird.
When he saw that the username belonged to someone named \'White Wolf\', a tall man with white hair and golden eyes immediately appeared in his mind. But he quickly shook that off. Because there\'s no way it\'s that guy. Wulfric probably wasn\'t even the type to browse [Cyberspace].
Regardless of who this person was, he chose their post and replied;
Astrid Townsend v: @astridsnumber1fan, thank you so much for your support! ?
