Chapter 451 - To Deceive Alaric Rhionen (1) (1/2)
”What do you think?” Endo asked Lauriel.
The man could only pinch his forehead. All this was giving him a headache. He was now convinced that Aleksis did have a special relationship with the leader of Rhionen Assassins.
Thinking about the fact made him very sad. Why did Aleksis, whom he helped raise and educate as a smart and independent girl, allow herself to be involved with that underworld organization?
Now, seeing the attitude of Takeshi, who easily gave in because Endo used Aleksis' name, he realized that Aleksis' relationship with Rhionen Assassins and their leader might be far deeper than what her family had expected.
What if Aleksis had fallen in love with him? Did the young girl know what love really was? She had only turned 20!
Lest Alaric Rhionen brainwash her ... so Aleksis became like that.
Lauriel sat in his chair and pondered, trying to recall the only time he had met Prince Siegfried. It was a long time ago, almost 18 years back. He did not remember the young man's face at all, because their meeting was very brief and filled with fights until Aleksis broke them up.
The night train was also very dim and lacked good lighting. However, Lauriel still remembered the impression the man made. He did not give out any evil vibe.
Everything seemed normal, he even had to admit that at that time he was a little impressed by the young man because he could keep up with Lauriel in close range physical altercations for several minutes, which was very rare for regular humans. At that moment Lauriel decided to like the young man and almost asked for his name.
Did he establish Rhionen Assassins after that incident or before that? If so, what made him change and fall into the underworld? If he was already the leader of Rhionen Assassins at that time ... it meant that his appearance and attitude were subtle and not as terrible as many people suspected of a leader from the assassin organization.
Could that be what made Aleksis interested and fall in love with him? Lauriel was aware that since 8 years ago, after meeting Prince Siegfried for the second time, Aleksis had been obsessed with that man. He and the girl's parents thought her obsession would subside over time.
But alas, it seemed like they were wrong. Eventually things turned out to become this compicated. Everything that had happened to Aleksis and Kurt's death was the fault of Rhionen Assassins.
If they did not massacre the Black River mafia group, Aleksis would not have befallen such a severe accident, and Kurt would not have lost his life to protect Aleksis' identity.
If that had not happened, maybe ... maybe Caspar and Lauriel would not be so eager in punishing Alaric Rhionen.
As a grown man, who must now be in his 40s, he shouldn't be in contact with an innocent young girl like Aleksis.
This should not be allowed to continue, especially after later Aleksis woke up and recovered.
Lauriel thought about his own son who was currently in Switzerland and was helping to care for Aleksis. Maybe if Alaric Rhionen didn't exist, Aleksis would be able to open her heart to Nicolae.
”What exactly are we going to do to Rhionen Assassins if we have captured the leader?” Endo asked Lauriel. He did not know exactly what had happened between Aleksis and Alaric, but he was aware of Lauriel's bad mood and he could guess that it had something to do with Aleksis.
What exactly would they do to Rhionen Assassins and Alaric Rhionen after they catch him? Lauriel took a deep breath.
Surely they would dissolve the organization and make agreements with all its members. Once their identities were known, it would be very easy to control them in the future.
