Nicolae finally found a clue from some of Tatiana's videos he was checking. There were two pairs of mysterious men who always appeared wherever Vega and her friends were.
To avoid being suspected by Vega and Altair's bodyguards who were always watching them, these mysterious men followed Vega alternately. After Nicolae noticed these figures in different places several times, he realized that this was not a coincidence.
He immediately traced the identities of the four people and shared the information he obtained with everyone. But unfortunately, again, they were met with another dead end.
There was no data available for these people. As if they all never existed.
"How could this happen?" Caspar became very confused.
He knew Nicolae and Marie's specialties. They were Wolf and Goose, the legendary hackers, who had access to information at their fingertips. But even both of them combined could not obtain any useful information.
They were facing dead end after dead end.
Elios and Pavel had made a list of people who had the potential to be the masterminds. And that was quite a long list. They approached all potential suspects to find out their involvement.
But even the wealthiest and most powerful person in the world today must admit that his wealth and power were of no use to find his missing daughter. This was beyond anyone's expectations.
Seven days passed, and the atmosphere in the penthouse had become very tense. Elios and Aleksis seemed to lose their spirit to live. Their tears had dried up, and they couldn't be consoled anymore. They only survived for the sake of their other three children.
But really ... on the day they received the news of Vega's abduction, Elios and Aleksis felt that half their souls had died together.
"We can't stay here," Caspar finally said. As the family's patriarch, he knew that he must make decisions amidst the tragic situation that broke all their hearts. Nobel Hotel had become the center of attention and attracted the crowd of curious people.
The news about Vega Linden's abduction became the world's most shocking news after the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case more than a hundred years ago.
Many people were sympathetic but also curious to know about the details of what happened and how it affected the Linden and Schneider families. After all, humans were social creatures who were always curious about gossips and other people's news.
When Elios learned that the area around them was always swarmed with news seekers, his wrath rose. He almost ordered his people to forcibly kick everyone far away from the hotel.
This was why he hated humans! He really could not stand them!
Caspar took control and arranged for the police and their own security department to straighten the crowd so that they could get privacy. He then sat everyone in the living room and invited them to speak frankly.
"We have to go to Stuttgart or Targu Mures, or Grosseto to calm down. The city is too crowded, and it is difficult to maintain our privacy here under conditions like now."
He took a deep breath. His young and handsome face, for some reason today, looked very tired and he even seemed to have aged a few years. He had never felt this awful in his life.
"Lauriel and his men are still investigating. The same went for Nicolae and Marie, all investigation teams from Schneider Group and RMI, even the former members of Rhionen Assassins and also thousands of freelancers in Darknet are still working to find Vega. We will never stop, and we will never give up. We just need to find a more peaceful place to coordinate. "
Everyone looked attentively at the clan leader. They agreed with his opinion. They must leave Paris.
"I choose to return to Targu Mures," Elios finally said. "I can control all operations from there. I will ask Terry to bring my sons there."
It's been a week that he left Ireland and Scotland with Terry in New York. Although their security had all been tightened many times, he did not want to take any risks. He would always supervise his children with his own eyes. He would not let them far from his sights.
"Good. We will divide ourselves. Some can join Alaric to Targu Mures, while I will join Lauriel and continue the search. Finland will come with you to Targu Mures. I do not want to jeopardize her safety by taking her with me," Caspar said.
He had already discussed this with his wife. He was aware that it would be better if Finland accompanied his daughter and son-in-law at a critical time like this. They certainly would need emotional support to face this very heartbreaking situation.
