Chapter 925 - An Intense Night (1/2)
Altair became worried and anxiety slowly crept upon his c.h.e.s.t when he saw dozens of police cars fill the area around the Eiffel Tower. He got out of the taxi and immediately called his sister's phone.
She didn't pick up!
He kept trying to call her many times, but there was no answer. He wanted to run toward the tower, but he was blocked by a police line, and several officers were chasing away the crowds.
”What is wrong?” he asked worriedly.
The people around him just shook their heads.
”I don't know. Some say there was a murder ... but we don't know for sure.”
News helicopters and media cars rushed to the scene. He saw reporters and their cameramen prepare to broadcast live reports from the scene.
Altair quickly opened the internet to find out what had happened, and his face immediately turned pale. His body staggered and he had to hold on to the person next to him so as not to fall.
TERROR IN THE EIFFEL TOWER
There was an attack by an unknown group of terrorists. Twelve people were killed, and dozens were injured. This was the worst terror attack in French history for the past ten years.
Gosh .. Vega, Altair instantly became panicked. He received a text from his sister telling him that she went to dinner with Mischa a few hours ago. He thought everything was going fine. But then at 10 pm, Vega asked him to come to pick her up at the Eiffel Tower, where the restaurant was located.
That means, something must happen between Vega and Mischa, that Vega decided to go home alone and asked Altair to pick her up. Altair initially thought Mischa would take Vega home because he had been watching and protecting Altair and his sister.
Cold sweat dripped on his temple. Oh, God ... don't let anything happen to my sister ...
”My sister is inside ...!! Let me in!!” He tried to break through the police line and shout out Vega's name. ”Vegaaa ...!! Vega .. where are you??”
”Sorry, no one can enter. Young man, please wait there.” A young officer tried to hold Altair and pulled him towards a police car. ”You must wait here. My partner will take your statement.”
Altair felt his body suddenly turned weak. Tears streamed down on his face as he took his cellphone and contacted his father in New York.
”Father... something happened with Vega. I can't contact her...” Altair stammered. ”There was a terrorist attack in the Eiffel Tower .. Vega was here earlier to have dinner with Mischa ..”
Alaric, who was sitting in his room while reading something, was shocked. He rose from his chair and clenched his hands tightly.
”What? Where are John, Leon, and the others?” His voice sounded calm, but Altair could feel that his father was also distraught.
”I don't know. I can't contact them either ...” Altair cried uncontrollably. ”It's so chaotic here. I can't go in, the police are blocking me. They said I had to wait here to make a statement. ”
”You calm down there,” Alaric said later. ”We will come soon.”
Aleksis, who heard Alaric's voice on the phone, looked anxious. She approached her husband and touched his arm. ”What's wrong? Is that Altair?”
His pair of purple eyes seemed filled with grief and anxiety, making Aleksis involuntarily take a step backward.
She had never seen this expression on her husband's face. Did something bad happen?
”Honey ... we must immediately go to France. I will get everything ready.” Alaric patted Aleksis's shoulder slowly and then contacted Terry.
”Hey ... what's up?” asked Terry, who was working out in his penthouse gym, facing a huge window that gave him beautiful views of Central Park
