Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
At the same time, Romdemio just finished recording.
His agent looked at him hesitantly: "That omega searched hot again."
Romdemio was taking the cold and glamorous route, and his curly hair perfectly set off his charm. His habit of teasing his hair was very feminine at this moment: "It is just the last foray before death."
The agent smiled meaningfully and said: "You have Noel Ozanne behind your back and with him you don't need to worry about being in several hot searches."
Romdemio pursed his lips. In his opinion, Julien was just a clown who jumped on the beam. He wasn't worried, but he who hides his identity, didn't want another omega to be popular.
Romdemio's face was filled with viciousness: "You get paid, goddammit! Think! We have to stop him."
The agent made a dry cough: "Maybe we could spread gossip?'
Romdemio narrowed his eyes: "What gossip?"
The agent had a tangled feeling: "To discourage people. People believe in anything about others as long as it's bad. For example that this omega has a family in the West and he gets paid for being an escort for rich alphas."
Romdemio said with a cold tone: "Very good. Continue."
The agent nearly choked on his words: "And concerts were to only promote his person in the club."
Romdemio's lips slightly curved like a demon: "You are starting to be worth working with me."
Malice was a great motivator.
While Julius was sleeping snug as a bug, the Internet was boiling. A post had appeared on the country's largest forum, and after just a few minutes it had hit tens of thousands of clicks.
'Truth about Omega concert – warning, content not suitable for viewing by children, please be careful!' This title was extremely provocative, enough to arouse everyone's desire to read.
Because the text has been published, the users sitting in front of the computer rose in anger, then they pounded out messages. None of the content wasn't abusive:
[It's A Political Statement: He shows up on scene one more time and I will beat him to a pulp.]
[Saint Broseph: Filthy omega.]
[The Average Forum User: +108 I don't know how he can be so dirty and obscene. Disgusting!]
Next morning, when Ioan saw a new article accompanied by a picture of Julien which was followed by numerous likes, his white fingers were slightly twisted due to excessive force.
Julien quickly pulled out his phone before it was scrapped: "I just showed you what it means being part of the entertainment industry in general and how I felt about being famous. To be surrounded, rumor, interfere, worry."
Ioan pressed his eyebrows tightly, afterwards, he scoffed: "We will publicly announce that you are second young master of the Baume family and after that we will submit the article as evidence to the court."
Julien poured a cup of cool boiled water and placed it at the hand of Ioan: "Are you unable to play? The direction of where the internet goes can change rapidly and unpredictably. Let them scold me and fantasize I will fall down, the more the better."
Ioan was startled: "You don't care about your reputation?"
Julien took a sip of tea and said calmly: "My reputation is already at the bottom and can't get any worse."
Ioan tried to persuade his brother to take action right away, but to no avail. Seeing that Julien wasn't concerned about people's opinion at all, Ioan was frustrated, but he didn't want to argue too much.
A week seemed to pass in a flash. Right now, Southern Rock Lobsters were also in season.
These last few days had been like a vacation for Julien. He didn't look at the news or surfed the internet. He everyday put on a film for himself to watch and ate cakes, marshmallows in chocolate, cookies, candies and other goodies while washing it down with wine. Ioan aside from scowling and looking wronged at Julien didn't criticize him anymore.
But today intimate photos of Lucius and Julien were released. The photos had been taken when Julien was leaning on the man and getting into a luxury car with him.
The masses were interested in this kind of news and rumours. However, what was rarely seen were news and rumours like this focusing on one person. Furthermore, the rumour that had come out this time was in regards to the same barely recognizable omega.
Julien had received a call this afternoon. It was Etienne. He had called him out to eat lobsters and talk about this ugly situation.
The place where they were eating lobsters was located in the outskirts of town. It was inside a stilted building within an artificial lake. When Julien arrived, Etienne who had called him out was already sitting inside.
Etienne waved at him, so he could see where he was: "Julien!"
Julien walked over and sat down in front of him. With a smile, he said: "Didn't think you'd care about a vulgar person like me."
When Etienne heard this, he opened his eyes wide, clearly even more shocked: "You can still make that kind of joke…"
Julien couldn't stop himself from laughing: "Because being crazy doesn't need an excuse."
His cheerful expression caused the waiter, who was serving them their food, to blush.
Etienne grabbed a lobster that had already lost its legs and began to pry open its shell: "No good, ah. I still had doubted it a bit, but now, I really believe that you've gone crazy, this is the only explanation why you don't want to clarify the rumors."
Julien cocked a brow when he heard Etienne say this: "I can resist the pressure of public opinions. No hurry. I will easily take it over rationally and win in the end."
Ettiene was obviously interested but also worried: "Are you sure?"
Julien's expression turned serious: "Don't worry. I don't want to work too hard, but I insist that the simplest defence is the most strong one."
Etienne frowned. He said: "What about that alpha who was photographed with you? What's his name? I remember that he has the same last name as Valentinus. Lucio? Lucian? I heard he is a powerful person."
Julien didn't want to continue with this subject. He made a perfunctory sound of acknowledgement: "What's the use in talking about him?"
Etienne looked excited: "He can help!"
Julien refused him without any hesitation: "What a joke. I don't want his help."
Etienne couldn't help but frown again: "Why?"
Julien said in order to shut Etienne up: "He is a demon king. Very evil. Even the devil would point a finger at him and say 'that's too much'. Don't mention him anymore."
Etienne, thus, shut his mouth. He looked at Julien as if wanting to say something more but ended up not saying it. The two of them ate in peace.
Julien was about to continue speaking when he heard a laugh come from the other side of the bamboo curtain. The voice then said: "Lucius Valentinus, are you finally full?"
