Chapter 469 - Ned and Portias Adopted Son (1/2)

The usual serenity at Alaric Rhionen's residence was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Rosalien. Her brothers were surprised to see her because they all thought that she was dead.

She now stood in front of them with a cold and ruthless expression they had never seen before. She also refused to talk. It made them realize that something bad had happened to her.

[I managed to escape ... I think they have no interest in keeping me after Master's death.] Rosalien said in writing to her siblings. Her tongue had been connected but she still couldn't speak properly and she hated her own voice.

”What did they do to you?” Mischa asked in concern.

Rosalien's face hardened because the question brought her back to her detainment. Lauriel did not torture her nor did he hurt her. The man had only forced her to drink veritaserum so that she would betray Alaric and her friends, but Rosalien had bitten her tongue to prevent herself from talking.

[They are people from the same kind as Master. The leader is called Lauriel and he is 570 years old.]

The fact surprised Rosalien's foster brothers.

570 years?? What kind of person lived that long?

They did not even know how old Alaric really was, but it was unlikely that he had lived that long.

Who were these people? How mysterious ...

To their surprise, a staff member came to announce Pavel's arrival with some guests whom they had never heard of before.

Several helicopters landed gracefully in the castle's courtyard and Pavel came out of one of the helicopters, followed by three of the most impressive people the assassins had ever seen.

Ned, Portia, and Sophia's arrival at Alaric Rhionen's private residence truly thrilled anyone who witnessed their arrival. The three people were very good looking, very impressive, and their aura, especially Ned and Portia's, made people subconsciously bow their heads as they passed.

Mischa, who welcomed them with Takeshi and Kai, could only look at the three in admiration. Something in his mind said that they were not ordinary people.

”We would like to pick up Alaric,” Portia said in her melodious voice which hypnotized anyone who listened. She walked with the grace of a queen and no one could say no to her request. Subconsciously, Mischa invited them to follow him into the room where Alaric was being treated.

When Portia saw her beloved nephew's body lying stiff and lifeless, she screamed in sadness and immediately embraced Alaric. Her face was wet in tears because of deep sadness. This was Luna's child ... why was fate so cruel to him?

”What happened to him?” Ned asked, turning to Alaric's four foster children. Rosalien just arrived in the treatment room. On behalf of Rosalien and his other brothers, Mischa told them what happened.

Sophia, Ned, and Portia were very surprised to hear their story.

”Gosh ... so Alaric had a dispute with Lauriel, and Lauriel chased after him because Lauriel blamed him for what had happened to a girl named Aleksis and her possible father, Kurt Van Der Ven??” Ned took a deep breath. He exchanged glances with his wife who could only massage her temple.

He finally understood what had happened. Lauriel and Caspar were angry because they thought Alaric Rhionen and the Rhionen Assassins were responsible for the deaths of Kurt, Caspar's right-hand man, and his daughter.

”The woman you saved is definitely not Aleksis ...” Ned commented, ”Lauriel has a team member who is great in disguise, and I don't blame you for being fooled. The real Aleksis is dead, and they are angry, so they blamed you and hunted you down.”

Pavel nodded, ”I too suspect that's the case. I called the hospital myself and talked to the hospital director. He said that the girl had died and they had issued her death certificate.”

Rosalien clenched her fists in anger. So actually Aleksis was dead and they were cheated by another group. She really hated Lauriel and wanted to avenge her foster father ...
