Chapter 79: Chapter 79 – Worry

Max's gaze froze at the unknown message for a second. But then, he took a screenshot of it and deleted it immediately, even the cache and every data related to it, in case it tried to hack his smartwatch system.

Not only that, he even restarted his smartwatch and its internet connection to make sure nothing was wrong. After it rebooted and he didn't see the message from before, he sighed in relief and cursed out loud.

"Damn, what was that? A terror message?"

Not only was it surprising, but Max didn't know how to react. It was the first time this happened to him.

"Shit, what should I do? I am a novice in this kind of thing. Can he track my address from my message account? If he can find my account, then normally, it's safe to think he has cracked my identity, too. But... who the heck is he? What did he mean by fake?"

Nothing made sense. What made whoever sent those messages? There was no way anyone knew that Max had transmigrated and had memories of his past. He was by no means fake. Max and Breeze were the same people.

Then, the fake that this unknown person meant probably was related to either streaming or the Knight's Journey program.

'Ignoring it is... bad idea, no? Let's see... I don't want to bother him, but I have no other choice at this time.'

Thinking so, Max immediately contacted Flexy once again. He was the only person he was close to who could help him. Maybe StoneSword and Lily could help him too, but Max didn't want to bother them more than necessary.

Besides, he trusted Flexy more than those two right now, as he was his new friend who had helped him get through his lack of money.

'If it's him, then he probably wouldn't think twice to help me. My debt to him just increased, huh?'

[Breeze: Buddy, can you help me?]

It was just a simple message, and he had just sent it. But a ringtone rang from the smartwatch's speaker just a second later, and a notification window popped up. Flexy called him without replying to his message.

Max accepted the call and was about to make a greeting first when Flexy's concerned face showed up in front of him while shouting.

[Video Call started]

"Damn, you look so bad! What happened?" He asked worriedly.

"Is it showing in my face?" Max asked, chuckling wryly. "My bad for calling you at this time, just before you are streaming. I just don't know who to talk to about this."

[Breeze: You're welcome, Mr. Taka. I hope it will be solved soon.]

[Mr. Taka: We have a partnership contract until your appearance in the Biozone monthly segment. If there is any drama or scandal relating to you, it will hurt our image too. That's why we will help you solve this problem. Please don't worry.]

While that sounded harsh, Max understood where Mr. Taka was coming from and was also worried. A smile appeared on his face as he typed his reply.

[Breeze: Thank you.]

No reply came from Mr. Taka after that. Max also laid down on his bed, but he felt really restless. His mind was still on the hacker from before.

"I should at least ask Nina to take care and not leave the restaurant for tonight." He muttered and sent a message.

A reply from Nina came almost immediately.

[Nina: Ok! You should be careful too! If you want to, feel free to stay in the restaurant with us. Dad will chop chop the hacker if he dares to find you!]

It invited a chuckle from him.

"Chop chop... Does she want her dad to be a murderer?"

He knew that Nina was joking, and that was why it was funny. Having someone like Chef Rush might also be good for his mental health.

'It's just a hacker. Mr. Taka and Flexy will probably find them and the reason soon.'

[Breeze: Thanks for worrying, Nina. But I will be fine. I will make sure to lock the door.]

[Nina: Of course, you will! Still, come to our restaurant tomorrow so I can see your face or I will be worried! Besides, dad wants to see you again. We have a new menu that got popular with our new customers, so test it, he said.]

That must be a sudden excuse to make him visit for breakfast. Max had no reason to refuse it.

'Truly, I am blessed in this life.' He thought, once again realizing what he had. 'I have people caring for me.'

[Breeze: Alright. See you tomorrow.]

[Nina: Sleep tight!]
