Chapter 459 - Dogs and Cats and Mouse (1/2)

Nicolae was very angry when he saw that a bounty announcement to catch him had spread all over Darknet. Some loyal friends immediately helped to erase his traces and covered his tracks. Still, he was so annoyed as he had to become extra careful.

In less than 30 hours someone had found his apartment on Robertson Road - Singapore, and that made him realize that the bounty was no joke. Fortunately, he left no traces or clues of his exact whereabouts there.

”Gosh ... This is all very annoying,” Nicolae repeatedly sighed in frustration. On one side, the Wolf Pack was hunting Rhionen Assassins, yet on the other side, the Rhionen Assassins were hunting him.

It was like a game of dogs chasing cats and cats chasing one mouse. Even though Nicolae was very reluctant to admit this, but right now he was really feeling like the latter.

He hoped his father and team could immediately take down Rhionen Assassins and free him from the bounty.

”Big Brother, let's eat.” London came in and invited Nicolae to dinner together, knocking the young man out of his dazed state.

For the past two months, Nicolae and Aleksis' two brothers had become very close as they had spent a lot of time together. Rune who loved technology especially stuck to Nicolae, frequently asking to be taught various tricks to be able to master information in the virtual world.

The warmth showed by Aleksis' brothers made Nicolae feel at home in their house in Switzerland. For the first time, he felt like he was back with his long-deceased family.

”All right, let's eat,” Nicolae walked into the dining room holding London by the shoulders. The teenager had grown very tall at the tender age of 17 years old. His face looked very similar to his father and so were his personality traits.

Once London turned an adult, people who see them in passing might even mistake him and his father as twins. The funny thing was the two of them were also born on the same date.

”How was your lesson?” Nic asked in the dining room while eating the food prepared for them by the staff. He knew that Uncle Aldebar had given London and the Rune many assignments while he was gone.

The faces of the two teenagers quickly turned gloomy. The homework left to them by Uncle Aldebar consumed a lot of their time. Both of them did not have time to play with their sheep.

”Big brother Nico, when will Aleksis wake up?” asked Rune to change the subject. He did not want to remember his homework.

Nicolae shook his head bitterly. ”I don't know, maybe in a few more months, maybe tomorrow ... anything can happen. But clearly, her brain activity has improved. She is physically strong. You can keep reading for her or talk to her.” He added, ”I'm sure part of her progress is due to your care too.”

”Hmmm ...” Rune looked sad, ”I really miss her a lot.”

”Me too,” London seconded.

Aleksis was the only daughter in the extended Schneider family. Of course, she was loved by everyone. Also, she was the light to her parents and brothers. Nicolae understood their sadness and really hoped that she would wake up soon.

***

Two days passed and no one had managed to find Wolf. This fact made Alaric very angry. Several times he received reports of Wolf's traces in Singapore, in Romania, and even in Switzerland, yet after the two days he allotted, no one managed to find the mysterious hacker.

Wolf truly deserved his reputation, Alaric resentfully thought. If only the damn hacker was not on the enemy's side, he would be very glad as a hacker of Wolf's caliber would be useful to him.
