Since the yellow king decided to help Vasili, he immediately came to Prussia to track down the red king.
Unlike the other rulers that are hard to track down, the red kings are the easiest to find. It is common knowledge to know that the red king was only born and lived in the land of Prussia.
That's why the yellow king came to Prussia just to find out the identity of the current red king.
Apart from having super eyesight, the yellow king also has distinctive hearing. It wasn't really because of his hearing ability, but he could command the wind to carry the human voice speaking.
Therefore, the yellow king ordered the winds to blow over the four corners of Prussia and brought any information about the red king.
Among the four rulers of nature, only the yellow king had skill at tracking down a person. His skills even exceed that of a mysterious hacker named Hunter.
As long as he has met that person, he could find that person even though his prey hid in hell. He could still see his target even though the person was inside the underground where no one could see him.
The yellow king had never met the red king before, but he had met the red king from the previous generation. He only needed to keep track of the red king's energy.
In just a matter of minutes, the wind was back 'giving' a report to him. They couldn't find the red king's energy as if the red king didn't exist in this world.
However, they found some information regarding the current red king.
His name was Katalina van Oostven, grandkid of the chief Egon van Oostven tribe. Not only that, but Katalina was also reported to have disappeared, and until now, no one knows where the red king is.
Grasping this news made the yellow king frown. He felt astonished not that he could not find the position of the red king. He could guess that Katalina was currently in the astral world belonging to the red king. After all, winter will soon be coming, so it's no wonder that the red king, who doesn't have fire energy, decided to hide in his astral world during winter.
What made him wonder was the name of the red king.
Katalina? Why does it sound like a girl? Is the current red king... a woman? Interesting.
This would be the first time he met a female red king.
Knowing that Katalina must be in the astral world, the yellow king decided to relax and wait. Winter has arrived, and his strength will not be as mighty as it was during autumn. Because of that, he decided to return to his house to rest.
He believes his family is worried about him because he hasn't contacted his family in two weeks.
Meanwhile, Vasili, who is eager to go to America to see Chleo's childhood but can't because of the conditions set, could only wait patiently.
Vasili decided to spend the best possible time with the Peskhov family. He accompanied little Alexis and attended every event at the boy's school.
He even tried to get Alexsei to accompany Alexis, but the man was too stubborn and didn't want to come out of his room.
Vasili knew Alexsei deliberately doesn't revolt to wait for his off guard. Once he was caught off guard, Alexsei would surely find an opening to escape and return to Prussia.
That's why he shouldn't let his guard down or relax his surveillance around Alexsei's private room.
Unfortunately, Vasili was caught off guard once. Someone from Germany managed to infiltrate and meet Alexsei. Vasili received a report from his subordinates, who had overheard Alexsei's conversation with the intruder.
They mentioned a familiar name.
Dark Angel.
Vasili had heard of Dark Angel in the hackers' world. Dark Angel was the best hacker in the world, second to Hunter. But he doesn't understand how Alexsei could know the name?
Vasili remembered that the name Dark Angel never appeared in his investigations into Chleora's past. That means Dark Angel has nothing to do with Chleora's life. Thus, he decided to ignore it.
Who would have thought, because Vasili did not consider this Dark Angel, it would have made Chleora still kidnapped in the end. The mastermind behind his kidnapping was not Alexsei but the third party. It was Dark Angel who joined hands with Lemar to capture Chleo and Meisya.
Vasili didn't realize it initially and was still relaxing to accompany the aging older man and Alexis, who faithfully entertained his grandfather.
Every now and then, Vasili would bring Alexis to Alexsei's room, hoping that the boy would be a good influence for Alexsei.
One night Alexis visited his father without Vasili's company. Vasili knew the boy's intention and made his body invisible. Then Vasili slipped into Alexsei's room because he wanted to know their secret interaction.
After all, he didn't want pure-hearted Alexis to be corrupted by his father's blinded heart.
"Alexis, do you know why your uncle's temperature is cold?"
Vasili was a little surprised at the question that came out of Alexsei. Why did the man mention his body temperature?
"No. What's wrong with him? Is he sick?" it was clear the little boy was worried about his uncle's condition.
"Hahaha. Your uncle is not sick, on the contrary. He is very healthful!" replied Alexsei in a sarcastic tone.
Somehow Vasili felt uncomfortable hearing this topic of conversation.
"Then what's wrong with Uncle Vasili?"
"He is the blue king, rulers of the ocean, and his power presented the winter season," replied Alexsei with a sly grin. "He could create ice out of nowhere. He can control the weather all over the earth. You know, your uncle is disgustingly evil! That's why he locked me here!"
An eyebrow raised Vasili at this accusation. So Alexsei took this opportunity to make Alexis hate him?
Moreover, how did Alexsei know his identity as the blue king? The Russians who knew his power were Zygfried and the late Mrs. Peshkov. He was sure that the two of them would not betray him and told Alexsei the truth.
How did Alexsei find out?
"Father, uncle is not evil like you say. If you didn't make grandpa dizzy, you wouldn't be locked up here."
"YOU DARE TO DEFEND HIM?!"
Vasili's guard went up and realized that Alexsei's mood has turned ugly. He thought Alexis was going to get scared of his father's tantrum. But it turned out that the child was not afraid?
"I'm not defending anyone. I'm just speaking based on what's going on. I'm not your clueless little boy. I know who loves me genuinely and who doesn't."
"You mean I don't love you?" Alexsei hissed, almost couldn't hold back his emotions anymore.
Vasili was ready to protect Alexis in case Alexsei decided to act in violence.
"Do you love me?" demanded Alexis blatantly.
"Of course I love you. You are my son!"
Vasili just shook his head at this. He even snorted sarcastically. Since when has Alexsei been caring for his son? All he thought about was partying hard, playing with girls, and busy himself trying to get rid of Vasili.
"Then why not act like my father?" retorted Alexis in an icy tone, making Vasili dumbfounded. The kid didn't even show his usual cheerful smile.
It seemed like Alexis had been hiding his cold heart since his childhood.
