THAT night, the official [Cyberspace] account of the web drama [Blind Justice] posted the trailer for their special 100th episode.
Blind Justice v: Thank you for being with us until now. See you on the 100th episode!
Then a video trailer was attached to it. Once one played it, the first thing that they would see was a man walking inside a high-end bar. The shot started at his shoes, then slowly upwards until the camera showed his face.
It was the face of the main protagonist of the show – Remi, played by the actor Jordan Preston. He was wearing a slick black suit, looking like some rich young master who was just out there to play and have fun.
He walked towards the bar and ordered whiskey on the rocks. Then, he heard a voice from the earpiece he was wearing. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to see the small device.
[Target on your three o'clock.]
Remi glanced at that direction in a swift manner, as if he just inadvertently turned his head that way. There, he saw a man who was about to climb the second floor. The man was definitely their target for this mission.
After confirming it, he then noticed that the other was not alone. His arm was around the shoulders of a young man. Remi could only see the slender back of the young man but a look of astonishment quickly appeared on his face. A myriad of different emotions appeared on his face – shock, disbelief, sadness, fear, and longing. All those emotions appeared at once, making his face contorted.
[Boss, what's wrong? Boss? Remi!]
Remi ignored the voice in his earpiece. At that moment, memories flooded into his mind.
At this point, a montage of different scenes appeared on the trailer. From two lively kids playing with each other to two teenagers wearing tattered clothes, they seemed to be having a hard time but there were still smile on their faces. Then after that, a voice was heard. It was a pleasant voice that was also filled with unbelievable sadness.
"Run, Remi. Never look back."
The scene then changed and a pool of blood was shown along with a delicate white hand. And then, the heartbreaking cry of a young man was heard.
From start to finish, the only face that was shown on that montage was Jordan Preston. The only thing shown of the one he's acting with was the other's black hair.
After the montage ended, the scene came back to the bar.
Remi, seemingly possessed by something, ignored the voices of his team mates and walked towards the young man in a daze. When he saw that the other was about to climb the stairs with the target, he quickened his pace.
He arrived behind the two in a blink of an eye and grabbed the young man's arm. The moment when the other was about to turn around, the screen suddenly turned dark. And then a line of text appeared.
[His past is finally catching up to him. Could the almost omnipotent leader of Themis finally face his most hidden fear? Or would the ghost of the past simply burn him?]
Then, the date and the time the episode would air was show. And that's the end of the trailer.
As expected, those long-time fans who just watched the trailer boiled with excitement and curiosity. Most of them couldn't help but expressed the opinion online, leaving a comment below the trailer.
[My husband is so handsome~ I will once again confess my feelings to Jordan. I love you, husband!!!]
[Wait- are we finally getting a backstory for Remi? Waaaaaa!!!!!!]
[I think so as well. I think this special episode will be all about Remi's past.]
[Finally! After 99 episodes, we will finally know something about Remi!]
[I think we will only scratch the surface of Remi's past with this episode. Still, making the 100th episode about his past is just brilliant.]
[I agree. This will definitely make our understanding of Remi's character much deeper.]
[Why isn't anyone talking about the black-haired little brother who's most likely Remi's childhood sweetheart?]
[Yeah! Based on that montage, they really seem to be childhood sweethearts. Maybe the black-haired little brother was the reason why Remi became a vigilante.]
[My only problem here is that why didn't they show his face???]
[Obviously to whet our appetite. They probably want us to guess who he is.]
[There aren't that many black-haired actors I know. Who's the most popular? Robin Dawson?]
[Nah, I don't think it's Robin. He's currently filming a movie for three months now. He didn't have time to guess for a web drama.]
[I have a feeling it's a newcomer. Doesn't Yujin Wells also have black hair?]
[Yujin Wells is a good guess. He's doing pretty good for a newcomer. Taking on this role wouldn't be bad for him at all.]
[He's also good at acting. I wouldn't mind if this little brother was actually him.]
[Me as well. I think he and Jordan match a lot.]
After that, a certain comment suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
[I also have a guess. But people might attack me after knowing who it was. So, just hear me out, okay? I think it's Astrid Townsend. The new artist that Polaris introduced a while ago. He was photographed almost a week ago on the spaceport going to FS08. We all know that [Blind Justice] is being filmed there. He also has black hair and the back shown in the trailer was very similar to his build. I'm probably being delusional here, but I really think it's him!]
This comment blew up the whole comment section of the post. Some were asking who this Astrid Townsend was and there were people more than willing to attach a picture of him to their reply.
At first, the replies were still a bit tame. Most were just purely curious about who this Astrid Townsend was. But soon, it was slowly filled with malicious comments.
