Chapter 367 - Wolf (1/2)
”I will not take any risks at all, I will ask Carl and Sascha to accompany us to campus,” Aleksis finally said.
”What about Takeshi and Mischa?” Lauriel asked, ”Are they hurt? Have they received treatment?”
”They can take care of themselves, Uncle Rory. I don't want them to come here and find out our secret if you treat their wounds,” Aleksis replied.
Luckily she could quickly think of an excuse. She certainly could not bring Takeshi and Mischa to the penthouse, as they did not know that she was the daughter of building owner. She was also afraid they would slip and accidentally talk about Alaric in front of Lauriel.
Gosh ... it seemed like the more things Aleksis was hiding from Lauriel, the harder it was for her to keep up with everything. She did not want to lie to Lauriel, but she could not let Lauriel know Alaric's secrets.
”Oh, by the way... Father ... Someone is looking for Aldebar in Darknet. Has Aldebar's life ever been threatened before?” Nicolae asked. He just remembered about the contract offered early in the morning. ”I often receive research and hacking job offers, and coincidentally last night a client offered me that assignment.”
Lauriel frowned. ”Really? Can you find out who it is?”
”I'm working on it. But, please, tell Aldebar to be very careful, because there are people who are looking for him. Whether with good intentions or bad intentions ...”
”All right. I'll talk to Caspar.” Lauriel nodded. ”I will also talk to him about the alleged attempted kidnapping of Aleksis. I will try to find out if there are any members of the Wolf Pack currently around Singapore, so we can get some help ...”
”The Wolf Pack?” Nicolae asked. ”Who is that?”
”That is Uncle Rory's team and they had been together in adventures for hundreds of years. Some had even followed Uncle Rory since he was a pirate,” said Aleksis proudly, ”They are the coolest immortal adventurers! They helped my family a lot when I almost died, poisoned by an evil person 18 years ago.”
”Wolf Pack?” Instantly a smile appeared on Nicolae's lips.
He was indeed his father's son. The nickname he chose in Darknet was Wolf, because he liked that animal, and he always considered himself to be a 'lone wolf' since decades ago when his foster family died one by one.
It turned out that his father was also a wolf, but his father was not alone because he had a team he called 'The Wolf Pack'...
”Why are you smiling?” asked Aleksis.
Nicolae looked at his father in admiration, ”Because my nickname in Darknet is 'Wolf'. I really take after my father in many ways ...”
Lauriel smiled back and nodded slowly. He was proud of his son.
”Wolf!” Aleksis murmured, ”Gosh I have heard that name before … but where?”
She scratched her head which was not itchy, but because she could not remember where she had heard the name 'Wolf', she finally shrugged.
