Chapter 369 - Nicolaes Suspicion (2) (1/2)
Aleksis widened her eyes again at Nicolae's unexpected question. So what if her bodyguards were from the Rhionen Assassins? She would pretend not to understand.
”Yes … one of my boyfriends is so worried about my safety that he hired the best people to protect me ...” said Aleksis casually. ”You worried so much about me yesterday that you risked your life to face them. What's the difference between you and him? Let's just say I'm lucky to be surrounded by good guys like you all ... hahaha ...”
Sascha and Carl hiccuped when they heard their young miss' words. But inwardly they were now also curious, who was that boyfriend of hers actually, so that he could hire the world's best assassins to be her bodyguards. They only knew that Aleksis called him Prince Siegfried.
Nicolae seemed to study Aleksis' face carefully, trying to digest her words just now.
”Do you know who the Rhionen Assassins are?” He asked in a very serious tone.
Aleksis shook her head, ”I know a little from my father and Uncle Rory's conversation ... But I don't know much. I also can't find information about them anywhere.”
Nicolae shook his head. His expression which was usually relaxed and cheerful was now dark and tense. ”They are very dangerous ... unforgiving, and mysterious. If only you knew who their victims were ...”
Now it was Aleksis' turn to wonder, ”I just can't find any info about them, and I have very broad access ... how can you know so much about them?”
Nicolae did not answer. He thought about his encounter with Mischa and Takeshi yesterday. Actually he should consider himself lucky because Takeshi underestimated Nicolae's capabilities at the beginning of the fight, and so they let their guard down.
Otherwise he wouldn't stand a chance against them, especially if they had attacked him together. He was lucky that he could knock Takeshi out before Mischa started his attack.
He could not imagine if Takeshi had helped Misca yesterday. They could definitely kill him on the spot with one blow. If that had happened, he would never meet his father, and his death would be in vain, due to misunderstanding.
All his research and projects in Singapore so far would also end in vain. Ugh ... all that because of a mere misunderstanding.
”How do you know so much about Rhionen Assassins?” asked Aleksis once more. She had to extract information from Nicolae and find out how far he knew about Alaric.
”Hmm ... I've been investigating them for a long time,” Nicolae finally answered. ”Rhionen Assassins cannot be contracted to become mere bodyguards, unless ...”
”Unless what?” Aleksis asked, opening her eyes wide.
”Unless your boyfriend is the leader of Rhionen Assassins himself,” Nicolae answered firmly. He looked at Aleksis with a probing look, hoping to get an answer from the girl, ”Is that true?”
Carl and Sascha immediately held their breath when they heard Nicolae's words. The two looked at each other, then looked at Aleksis in the rearview mirror with shocked faces. They could not believe what they had just heard.
Was it true that their young miss had a relationship with the leader of Rhionen Assassins? This was really shocking!
