Chapter 930 - Looking For Mischa (1/2)
Nicolae and Marion wasted no time, they immediately followed Mischa's tracks from their phones. They were surprised to learn that Mischa was apparently no longer in Paris. The man was in Provins, a small town two hours away from Paris city center.
”I've been there, the place is historical and beautiful ...” Marion commented. ”Why did he get there?”
Nicolae just shook his head. He got into the car the hotel concierge had prepared for them and immediately got behind the wheel. The trip should take two hours, but he would try to race to get there before sunrise.
Meanwhile, in the penthouse, everyone who was left behind tried to think of the best way to deal with Vega's disappearance.
”It must have been intentional ...” Caspar said with a sigh. ”There may be people who know who Vega really is and kidnap her to ask for a ransom.”
”If that's true, we would have heard from them. After all, why not kidnap Altair as well?” Lauriel asked. He looked at Altair, who was sitting beside his mother, mourning.
”Two people might be considered troublesome, so they chose Vega, who is easier to kidnap,” said Caspar again.
”But if this is indeed a kidnapping for money... we should have heard their ransom request,” Petra spoke up. ”Well.. there is another possibility.”
Everyone looked at the man, and for some reason, they understood what he meant. However, no one dared to speak openly. They were afraid of hurting Alaric's heart.
One possible reason why Vega was kidnapped was that the mastermind behind the abduction held a grudge against Alaric. In a way, the man was the only person who had a myriad of enemies, both from the time he was a professional assassin and also after he ruled the world with technology.
He had eliminated so many people and killed countless victims. If indeed tonight's terrorist attack was carried out by someone who had felt aggrieved by Alaric ... then they must begin to trace all his previous victims one by one and narrowed down the potential perpetrators.
”We cannot leave any rock unturned,” Alaric said firmly. He took his cellphone and called Pavel. He also knew what they were thinking, but he refused to grieve and yield.
Anyone who dared to touch his family will know how Alaric responded to their crimes.
Do you think I've done the worst thing in my life? You don't know what I'm capable of, thought the man. His c.h.e.s.t was filled with wrath.
He would make whoever kidnapped Vega regret ever being born into this world.
”Pavel. While waiting for everyone to gather in Paris, I want to mobilize our people all over the world to look for Vega's tracks. Spread her photos on Splitz and give a one billion dollar reward to anyone who provides information that could lead us to find her.
