Chapter 936 - Dead Ends (1/2)

Sharon signed with her right hand and Tatiana immediately began her narration.

”Hello, my name is Tatiana Petrova. As you all know, I am the owner of this channel, and for the last ten days, my friends and I have been on a study trip to Paris and Bordeaux. You have seen my best friend, Vega, appear in my videos. She is a friendly girl and she is very down to earth. So, we all did not expect, some bad people have the heart to kidnap her.

”All announcements that you read on the internet are true. Vega who sometimes hosted my videos is Vega Linden, Mr. Elios Linden's daughter. Earlier, I have met Vega's father and he asked for my help ... for all of you, to open your eyes and ears, wherever you are. We must let her family know immediately if we saw or know something.

”You can contact me directly by private message. You can also contact all RMI representative offices and all company offices under the Schneider Group. There will be a hotline number available that you can contact from all over the world. Toll-free.”

Her school friends listened to her sympathetically. However, once Tatiana confirmed that Vega was indeed the girl who caused a stir in the world this morning with her mysterious disappearance, they all became very shocked.

Immediately there were muffled exclamations. They exchanged glances and pressed their lips in surprise. Nobody expected this. Like Tatiana, they thought Altair and Vega, the twins, were ordinary people.

Now their view of the two had completely changed.

Never judge a book by its cover, they thought.

The atmosphere in the penthouse was really tense and the air felt heavy. It's been 20 hours after Vega disappeared and they still hadn't found a clue.

Lauriel had arrived in Switzerland and immediately headed for the hospital where Alexei's body was being examined by a coroner. He actually thought there was a possibility that the body was not really Alexei, but someone who was made to look like him and was killed to distract them.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. The corpse turned out to be Alexei. He confirmed this from the rapid DNA testing on the man's blood sample and they compared the results with Nicolae's DNA in Paris. Their mothers were sisters, so their DNAs could be matched to find their relations.

”This is really Alexei,” Lauriel said with a sigh. He was on the phone, talking to Alaric in Paris. ”I have coordinated with the police in Switzerland to block the roads all over Switzerland, including the border. If Vega is still here, we will find her...”

”What did Father say?” asked the girl anxiously. ”Is there bad news?”

”Hmmph ... Father just confirmed that Alexei is indeed dead. They actually held Vega with him in Switzerland before Alexei was killed.” Alaric could not feel the pain from his bleeding knuckle after he punched the wall. He clenched his fist even harder. ”I don't know what they want ... Why don't they just call me and tell me what they want? If this is kidnapping for money, they should have told me the ransom. If it's out of spite ... they should have contacted me to make fun of me .. asked me to do something bad to save Vega ... But this, there is absolutely no news.”

Aleksis hugged Alaric and buried her head in the man's c.h.e.s.t. ”We'll wait ... We have to be patient. This morning they already sent news via Darknet, right? Maybe now they are still on the move. Later, after they feel safe, they will definitely contact us.”
