“Fimilis, check all recent events on the Mu Continent, especially Eden’s personal schedule... Hmm, it would be best to try to gather any information related to Eden.”
"[Confused] Uh...?"
The blonde girl hesitated for a moment, then looked at Iserline, who was present. Only after receiving the latter's nod of approval did she feel at ease.
After all, although she is an extremely special AI, she is still subject to rules and regulations.
Clearly, not just anyone could command her without the Creator's order.
In a short instant, Femilis's tentacles spread across the entire network of the Mu Continent. Under that terrifying computing power, apart from the databases at the headquarters of the Fire Moth that were physically disconnected from the network, all other public and private public domain websites were breached and all data was seized.
The sensible Femilis didn't foolishly dump a bunch of data on it. After all, there was a lot of information and entries related to Eden under the influence of Eden, the superstar of the century. Even with selective filtering and elimination, the final result was still beyond what humans could process in a short time.
A moment later, Fimiris seemed to have discovered something, and with a wave of her hand, a series of images appeared.
"Eden's activity trajectory became abnormal before the official announcement was released by the system."
The map of Mu's continent shows Eden's route marked in yellow—it eventually stopped somewhere.
Then, one image after another appeared, finally settling on a blurry image captured by surveillance cameras.
The girl in pink looked at the photo, resting her chin on her hand as if deep in thought.
A gear-shaped pattern slowly emerged in her beautiful blue eyes, tinged with a touch of pink, and glowed with an unremarkable orange-red.
—Analysis.
—Reconstruction.
He eventually pieced together what he wanted—Eden's profile and a gun.
At this moment, the answer to why the performance was postponed is obvious.
Eden has been kidnapped.
of course.
—It's less of a kidnapping and more of a 'revenge'.
When discussing the entertainment industry, it's inevitable to talk about the sordid and dirty aspects of this field, and this doesn't change regardless of location or world.
After all, it's hard for most people to refuse the idea of owning those "goddesses" and "gods" who are active on screen, have great figures, and are in the hearts of countless people.
And artists find it hard to refuse—after all, refusing would undoubtedly mean a bleak future.
Even Eden, a pop star of the century, could not avoid encountering such things.
Or perhaps, coming from a musical family, she had anticipated this.
But Eden, who has a unique pursuit and support for art, did not choose to succumb to these injustices and darkness like her peers; instead, she chose to fight back.
Her family background in music gives her the right to say no to those with ill intentions.
However, the cost of doing so was extremely high.
Faced with an Eden that is out of touch with reality, those with ill intentions are clearly not interested in investing capital; in fact, out of malicious intent, they may even try to sabotage it.
This made Eden's path to success, despite his prestigious background, extremely difficult.
Her first performance wasn't on a grand stage in the public eye, but simply... on the street.
Yes, just like street performers and wandering singers, Eden's beginnings were performances on the street.
Each person carries a musical instrument, and sings their heart out.
The saying "even the best wine needs a good location" clearly doesn't apply to Eden.
Without a doubt, Eden's talent could not be concealed by the mundane world. Just as gold shines brightly among the sands of a riverbed, she was the most dazzling and radiant among them.
After overcoming the initial difficulties, Eden's career developed at an astonishing pace, far beyond the reach of those with malicious intent—during which she also had several falling out with her agency.
They said angrily:
Don't you really know what compromise means?
If Eden were to compromise, her career could achieve even more remarkable and phenomenal progress, and even royal politicians from all over the world would be completely captivated by her.
It only required a small compromise, and everyone else was doing it!
But Eden was so dazzling.
She smiled:
Art has no shortcuts.
The girl was so confident that she could reach the top without any help.
Eden is art.
Before this, no one had ever made her bow down—and no one ever will.
Eden was so humble, burying that pride deep in its bones, deep in its soul, deep in its 'civilization'.
She captivated everyone she knew, even those who envied her could not deny it—for Eden had long become something they could only look up to, something they dreamed of.
So...
They must bring him down from his pedestal!
In the abandoned factory, the superstar Eden, who was the center of attention, was tied to an old wooden chair.
That stunningly beautiful face remained unchanged, calmly scrutinizing those who had 'forcibly' brought them here.
Among them are younger generations who once admired them, friends and partners who helped them when they were in trouble but later betrayed them, and people with evil intentions and selfish desires.
Eden could even see his close associates within the company.
The smile of admiration that usually graced him now twisted into a mask of hatred and jealousy...
This was a premeditated and meticulously planned kidnapping.
Their goal was not to seek so-called wealth—after all, most of these people had nothing to do with 'lacking money,' and for some, money was just a string of numbers to them.
They gathered here for a common purpose.
—Revenge on Eden.
A ridiculous reason, even though for some of them Eden was a 'rebirth' or a 'guiding grace'.
And this is only because
Eden is too dazzling.
So dazzling...that they could not compare, and they felt inferior; so radiant...that just looking at this girl named Eden made them feel...and feel ashamed of themselves.
This emotion would not have been enough to drive them to such audacious acts in the past, but now, with the arrival of the Herrscher of Domination, it has given them the 'courage' to do evil.
"Why, why are you so dazzling, while I can only submit to reality!?"
A stunningly beautiful young girl was screaming hysterically, her beautiful face twisted and ugly with jealousy and resentment. Eden remembered that she had once been incredibly innocent, her eyes full of light, dreaming of herself and even saying that she wanted to be the next Eden. Eden had patted her on the shoulder to encourage her, and even later, because of her own experiences, she had deliberately taken care of her.
Thanks to Eden's resources, the other party's career went incredibly smoothly, in a way that left Eden feeling regretful and helpless.
Since then, she has never seen the light in this younger man's eyes again.
Just like the countless colleagues Eden had met throughout his career.
Until now—it has become so... pathetic.
And those who are not Eden's descendants are all Eden's old friends.
Among them were even Eden's relatives—she remembered how kindly they smiled when she was a child, encouraging her to follow the path she wanted to take.
Eden's ability to persevere in this filthy 'muddy pond' to this day is also due to the other party's assistance.
She lamented as she watched these old friends pour out their jealousy and resentment towards her, shamelessly displaying the 'baseness' hidden deep within their hearts.
What they were going to do was to bring this world-renowned superstar down from his pedestal, plunge him into the same quagmire as them, make him struggle bitterly, and then let out a desperate and painful cry!
Only in this way can their resentment find a moment's respite.
The noble should not exist in this world.
Beliefs, physical bodies—all of these should be destroyed by them next, and then... shown to the world through their mouthpiece.
Look, the gold you're so obsessed with is no different from us; it's just a hypocritical and pretentious thing!
Everything that █ has done in the past was nothing but a disgusting deception.
Then, the people, angered by the deception, will personally overthrow everything that Eden had established!
There was no way around it; Eden was just so dazzling and so resilient.
They—even Eden's original agent—could hardly find any flaws in Eden. They could only spread rumors that Eden frequented bars because of his love for alcohol.
All of this is utterly meaningless in the face of Eden's formidable strength and its dazzling and sincere spirit.
Eden supporters launched a direct and forceful counterattack, refuting the rumors with solid evidence and even using "box weapons" to retaliate—and then it was discovered that Eden hadn't done these things, but they had done a lot.
By now, almost no one believes Eden's scandalous rumors—such as the recent online rumor that this superstar of the century is actually a woman.
Eden slowly closed his eyes.
Despite her incredibly strong will, as a young girl, she was also afraid of the violence and torture that people told her about that was about to happen to her.
