Chapter 400 - Family Gathering (1/2)

The next day, the Schneider family was shocked by Jean's arrival at their mansion in Grindelwald. He hurried over after hearing what had happened to Aleksis. Billie was preparing for a concert around the world so she couldn't come with Jean.

Terry was very happy to see his father come. Everyone could see his beaming face. Terry idolized his father, a famous actor, and he aspired to become a filmmaker to make his father proud.

Aldebar, who was taking care of London and Rune at his research facilities, also came to visit Aleksis to figure out what he could do to help. With the arrival of Lauriel, Aldebar, and Jean, the atmosphere felt like Christmas, as every Christmas the large Schneider family usually gathered like this.

As usual, Aldebar, who came with London and Rune, became the center of attention because of his unique outfit choices. This time he chose to wear Edwardian clothes that were rather complicated and very intricate.

Finland felt relieved because her children did not follow Aldebar's taste for historical outfits after living with him for so long.

The atmosphere in the mansion felt very warm and festive. Lauriel was there with his son, Nicolae, and they were the Schneiders' best friends who came to accompany the family in the midst of this difficult situation. Then, there was Terry, Finland's biological child from her best friend, Jean, and of course, their two boys who had been with Aldebar for the past month.

When they were having dinner in the dining room at a very long table with a variety of sumptuous dishes, Nicolae carefully observed everyone who was present. He felt very impressed, because after living alone for decades, he could finally spend time with people who had become his family.

He was very happy to have met his father, and now his happiness increased because he knew he was part of the Alchemist clan. He felt like he just found a new family.

They chatted during dinner, mostly about the progress that had taken place. Caspar also conveyed his request to Lauriel and Aldebar to lend their men to him so he could get revenge on those who killed Kurt.

Terry and Nicolae looked at each other as they listened to the conversation of the older men at the dinner table. They just heard about what had happened to Caspar's confidant.

”Do you know who is responsible?” Lauriel asked. ”I will ask The Wolf Pack to come and help you.”

Caspar nodded, ”Based on my investigation, he was killed by the people from Rhionen Assasins.”

”In two days they will all arrive here. I can instruct them to help you,” Lauriel said.

”Thank you, Lauriel. I owe you one.” said Caspar. He then turned to his brother Aldebar. ”I also need your help.”

Aldebar nodded, ”Of course. We must properly punish this people. Do you know why they kidnapped Kurt?”

Caspar sighed, ”It looks like they were looking for Aleksis.”
