Max's gaze froze at the unknown ssage for a second. But then, he took a screenshot of it and deleted it imdiately, 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 ssage from before, he sighed in relief and cursed out loud.
"Damn, what was that? A terror ssage?"
Not only was it surprising, but Max didn't know how to react. It was the first ti 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 ssage 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 an by fake?"
Nothing made sense. What made whoever sent those ssages? There was no way anyone knew that Max had transmigrated and had mories of his past. He was by no ans fake. Max and Breeze were the sa people.
Then, the fake that this unknown person ant 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 ti.'
Thinking so, Max imdiately 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 . My debt to him just increased, huh?'
[Breeze: Buddy, can you help ?]
It was just a simple ssage, 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 ssage.
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 ti, just before you are streaming. I just don't know who to talk to about this."
"What happened?" Flexy asked once more. This ti, his tone was lower than before. "You just replied 'roger' to , and then you said you need help just a few minutes later. You surprised and made jump from my chair, man…"
"Well, actually…"
Max recounted what happened after he ended his stream and sent the screenshot he took through the ssage.
He even told Flexy about his suspicion regarding haters, or soone tried to sabotage him because he appeared in the program even when he was a practically unknown strear with less than a week of experience.
"That's really bad! Good thing you contacted as soon as you found out. Damn bastard!!"
Flexy's reaction was a bit more intense than Max initially thought. It was clear that his always-smiling friend was now angry.
"Don't worry, buddy. I will help you to look into it. It's better to contact Mr. Taka if you think it's related to the program. We don't want any scandal or drama a day before the program. He will understand the situation."
"Alright." Max nodded, appreciating the advice given by his friend, "Thank you. I was really blanking at such a situation. It never happened to before."
'Not in my past life or this life.' He added in his mind.
Getting hacked was surprisingly a bit scary, even for Max. He wasn't scared for himself but for people close to him.
'It will be bad if the hacker tries to visit Nina or sothing… But well, after calming down, I don't think she will be in danger as long as she stays in her restaurant.'
"It's not even a problem." Flexy grinned, relaxing his sitting position. "I will tell you if I find sothing. Hehe, you don't need to worry. But if you're still worried about your address getting leaked, feel free to visit my place. We have good security here."
"Thanks for the offer, but I think I will stay here."
"Fine. Just be careful. I will catch up with you soon. Lisa will contact you if we find the hacker and manage to catch him."
"Thank you. I will send a ssage to Mr. Taka then."
Flexy ended the call after reminding Max to be careful once again.
Following that, Max contacted Mr. Taka and relayed this information. The marketing team leader asked if he had any proof or sothing that could be a lead, and he sent the screenshot that he took.
[Mr. Taka: Thank you. I am glad you reported this to us before sothing happened. I also think it might be other newbie strears we didn't invite. We will contact the others and ask them to be careful.]
[Breeze: You're welco, Mr. Taka. I hope it will be solved soon.]
[Mr. Taka: We have a partnership contract until your appearance in the Biozone monthly segnt. 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 ca 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 ssage.
A reply from Nina ca almost imdiately.
[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 soone like Chef Rush might also be good for his ntal 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, co 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 nu that got popular with our new custors, 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 .'
[Breeze: Alright. See you tomorrow.]
[Nina: Sleep tight!]
