Chapter 392 - Blackmailed (1/2)

Instantly Nicolae clenched his fist. Terry, who sat across the room, saw this and immediately approached him.

”What's wrong? You look so angry ...”

Nicolae took a deep breath before showing the contents of the message he had just received to Terry. The young man was as shocked as Nicolae and came to the same conclusion.

”That means he's the one,” Terry said in a choked voice. He turned to Aleksis and his mind became frantic; he could not understand how Aleksis could be involved with such a sadistic and dangerous person - the leader of Rhionen Assassins ...

”I just checked the internet and found that all the news about what had happened to Aleksis today is gone, maybe that's why he was forced to ask for my help,” Nicolae said. ”You know what happened?”

Terry shrugged, ”Uncle Caspar is very private man, and he is very strict in keeping information about his children from surfacing. Surely he blocked all the news about Aleksis.”

”Oh ...” Nicolae became even more amazed of Caspar. Aleksis' father was far more powerful than he initially thought. He couldn't wait to meet Caspar who was now on his way to Singapore.

”What would you do?” Terry asked. ”Actually, this could be an opportunity to free Aleksis from his grip. I'm afraid that my sister has been brainwashed by him, and that's why Aleksis always defended him. You know yourself that until yesterday, Aleksis was still trying to protect him?”

”What do you have in mind?” Nicolae asked.

”You can send him the doctor's diagnosis and say that there is no chance that she could survive a brain stem injury this severe, and that you are very sorry,” Terry said firmly.

”You want me to tell him that Aleksis is dead ?!” Nicolae asked.

”No. I want you to send him Aleksis' diagnosis and say that you are sorry, and let him draw his own conclusions.” Terry shrugged, ”He will probably conclude that no ordinary human can survive a brain stem injury. He does not know that Aleksis is an Alchemist. So if one day Aleksis recovers and Alaric found out, he would not blame you, because he himself drew the wrong conclusion. You only gave him the information he asked for.”

Terry knew how dangerous Rhionen Assassins was, and he couldn't imagine what Alaric would do to them if he felt that they cheated him. This was a safe choice.

Nicolae finally nodded and replied to Alaric's message.

[I will provide the information you asked for if your assassin who committed the massacre last night turned himself in to the police. You are responsible for what happened at St. Mary's University today.]

Before he could press the SEND button, Terry hurriedly grabbed his cellphone.

”Don't say it like this, you will make him suspicious. Why would you, as Wolf, care so much about what happened at St. Mary's? We don't want him to know that there is a connection between you, Aleksis, and St. Mary,” he said quickly. ”I know you are upset, but you must not lose your composure when facing a dangerous person like Alaric Rhionen.”

”Then, what do you suggest?”

Terry then changed Nicolae's reply to Alaric and pressed the SEND button.
