Chapter 365 - Alarics Plan (1/2)

Alaric was very happy during his stay at the Lewis-Baden castle, because the host, his aunt Portia, was very kind to him. For the first time in his life, Alaric felt like he really had a family, even a mother who cared about him. He was given his own place at the right wing of the castle, facing the lake. He was also welcome to do whatever he pleased while staying there.

Sophia also stayed at Ned and Portia's castle for several days. Her reason was because she wanted to help Alaric in researching various historical sources and records of their ancestral heritage. History stored in the castle was abundant as it went all the way until the first century AD.

Alaric was very pleased and proud to know that since hundreds of years ago, his mother's family line was highly respected and influential. The only problem was that their lineage stopped when the last two children born in the Linden Family were women and both had died. The only son they had didn't live for long.

One daughter was Princess Elena, who married a prince from the Meier family. Sophia was now their only child left in the clan. The other daughter was Princess Luna, who gave birth to Alaric.

Alaric felt sad seeing how the number of Alchemists was declining, because they were very rarely married and rarely had children. Ordinary people, on the other hand, who were incompetent in taking proper care of the earth, breed like rabbits and depleted the earth's natural resources, caused global warming, and slaughtered so many animals causing them to become endangered and even extinct.

He was eager to accelerate the completion of his automation project, so that the world could immediately conduct natural selection on humans who were not worthy of living on this planet. Humans were the ones who needed nature, not the other way around.

This earth would be more advanced and prosperous if it were inhabited by a small number of high-quality residents. Everything else could be outsourced to machines to maintain the quality of human lives. That was where his project would play a role.

After dinner, he excused himself to rest. He immediately contacted Pavel to arrange various things for him. He was tempted to call Singapore, but given the 8 hour time difference, he realized that it was almost dawn in Singapore. He did not want to disturb Aleksis' sleep.

”Pavel, I have an assignment for you. Enter the darknet and look for Wolf. I need information about someone.”

”Wolf? The genius hacker? Who do you want to find that you can't find yourself?” Pavel asked in surprise. ”Sisqo is our best finder, isn't he? You know that Wolf is a very picky person, he will not necessarily accept assignments from us.”

”I'm not sure Sisqo can do this. This person is very mysterious, I need the best finder in the world,” Alaric answered.

”Hmm .. alright. Who is the person you want to find?”

”He is called Aldebar. I don't know any more information but his name.”

”Ok ...” Pavel noted something down and then confirmed. ”I'll take care of this soon. Sir, how long will you be in Scotland?”

”Three days, I want to rest here before we continue work.”

”All right. I'll arrange things with the others.”

After hanging up the phone, Alaric started counting in his head. He would first try to find Aldebar himself and force him to make the immortality potion for Aleksis. He intended to offer something that Aldebar wanted. He knew from experience that everyone in this world had a desire for something. He was certain that Aldebar wanted something too.

Alaric would grant whatever he wished. Even if Aldebar's wish was to have him kill someone, even though it's Sophia herself - Alaric would do it.

If his methods didn't work, he would use violence.

But first he had to find Aldebar's location.

It was 5 in the morning in Singapore when Nicolae woke up from his sleep. He was still staying in the guest room of Aleksis' penthouse, and because he drank too much wine with his new family, he felt his head hurt so badly that he woke up before sunrise.

With his eyes half closed, he walked into the kitchen and took a glass of warm water. When he was enjoying his drink, his phone beeped. He opened his phone and noticed a notification from a special platform he sometimes visited. While yawning wide, Nicolae opened the site and read messages from the platform.

There was a client who was looking for someone named Aldebar, and the name Wolf was clearly tagged to fulfill the task.

The name Aldebar felt very familiar ...

Nicolae frowned and tried hard to think. His head still hurt because he drank too much the night before. Hmm ... he couldn't remember where he heard that name before.

Finally, he returned to his room and tried to sleep again, hoping that his headache would slowly disappear.

Five minutes later he got up.

Aldebar!!

Wasn't that Aleksis' uncle who mastered the immortality potion!? Who was the person who wanted to find him?? How did they find out about Aldebar? Why did they specifically ask for Wolf to accept the assignment?

How mysterious!

Finally he did not go back to sleep. His headache slowly went away because his brain was occupied with guessing who the client was and what they wanted from Aldebar.
