The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 284

Every time Charles looked at Ren, he was reminded of his late brother, Friedrich. Serious and quiet Ren had never liked women in his entire life. His handsome face, intelligence, and cold as well as mysterious appearance always attracted many women wherever he went.

They flocked around him just like flies swarmed on the delicious fruit or beetles that were so eager to suck the honey. However, Ren was never attracted to any of them. He was more interested in his studies and researches.

Even though he was cold and never tried to be nice to girls, they did not care at all. they came to him and threw themselves at him. They tried to make him fall in love with them with their beauty, wealth, class, intelligence … nothing worked.

Ren then realized that he did not have a romantic interest in anyone. He did not enjoy close relationships with women. He was never interested in doing romantic things with his partner like other men his age.

In this respect, Ren reminded Charles very much of his older brother. But Friedrich was like that because he was busy and had to take care of himself and Charles. Meanwhile, Ren did not need to take care of anyone.

After his mother died of illness, Ren was cared for by Sebastian and Aurora Genevieve’s family. They only had one daughter who was five years younger than him, named Amelia.

Ren’s life was quite good and he had everything he needed. He did not have to take care of anyone, he lived for himself. So he should be able to enjoy life and date around or do whatever young people usually want to do. He was a free man after all.

But Ren wasn’t like that. He dedicated himself to science. He made Charles so proud of him.

“Thank you, Uncle, for picking me up,” said Ren as he got into the car.

“Of course. I’m so glad you moved here,” Charles replied with a smile. He got into the driver’s seat and immediately drove the car to his apartment in the city center.

Ren would stay temporarily with him while he looked for a house he liked. SpaceLab will pay for the necessities and Ren was invited to choose his own place to live.

Charles had lived in Bern for several years and he was very familiar with the place. He also encouraged Ren to accept the job offer from SpaceLab.

For him, SpaceLab was his brother’s lifelong dream, which Alaric Rhionen snatched from him when the man bought Atlas X and changed its name into SpaceLab.

All the technology and principles used in SpaceLab today were the brainchild of his brother and Sam Atlas. Charles did not want Alaric to keep controlling it.

Fortunately, SpaceLab finally became independent ten years ago and it was no longer under Rhionen Industries one hundred percent. The reason was that SpaceLab opened itself to receive investments from various other major world corporations.

Now, Charles could only feel happy and amused at seeing Ren becoming the director at SpaceLab at a very young age. It felt as if they were slowly taking back what belonged to their family.

“Tonight, I have something important I want to discuss with you,” said Charles suddenly. Ren who was looking out the window while watching the various old buildings they passed, immediately turned his head and looked at his uncle with a frown. Charles’ voice just now sounded very serious.

“What do you want to discuss with me, Uncle?” asked Ren curiously.

“We’re going to get our revenge,” Charles replied in a cold voice.

***

Ren looked at his uncle attentively. He had been looking forward to what Charles wanted to convey to him since that trip. But Charles apparently was in no rush. He prepared dinner for them and poured wine.

They ate dinner in silence. Ren didn’t urge his uncle because he knew Charles would speak at the right time. He rarely met his uncle, but his mother had been telling him about Charles and his father since Ren was very young.

The man also came and stayed with them when Ren was younger and pretended to be his private teacher, but then he left to prepare other things. He guessed now it must be their plan for revenge.

It was only after his mother, Hannah died, that Ren began to have more frequent contact with Charles. When he was sent to school in England, it was Charles who looked after him and often met him, even though he did all this in secret.

At first, Ren didn’t understand why Charles was acting like that, but then he was told what had happened. Charles intended to destroy the Alchemists who had acted as gods on this earth and wanted to determine which humans had the right to live and which humans must die.

Unfortunately, their biggest enemy named Alaric Rhionen died at the hands of Caspar Schneider’s men after Hannah died ten years ago. Then, Charles could only take his revenge on him.

He never told Ren in detail what had happened and what his plans for revenge were because he thought that his nephew was still a kid. But Ren was 20 years old now and he was an adult. Not only that, he even became a highly respected figure in the world of science.

In Charles’ opinion, right now was the right time for him to involve Ren for revenge. He came up with the best plan to harm Alaric after he found out this shocking information. And for that, he needed Ren’s help.

“Apparently, your father’s killer is still alive,” said Charles, taking a sip of his wine. He had finished his dinner and then poured himself some red wine. The blood-red color on the glass and the cold expression on the man’s face gave Ren a terrifying vibe for a moment.

He knew about the revenge his uncle was referring to. But to his knowledge, that evil monster, who wanted to behave like Hitler and destroy the humans he considered unworthy of life, had been killed in Romania. How could he still be alive?

“Did he rise from hell?” asked Ren casually.

Since he was little, Ren didn’t talk much, he rarely spoke unless he had to say something. He was also inexpressive, it was only normal that he gave a flat or cold expression on his face after hearing his uncle’s statement. He was shocked to hear the news that his father’s killer was still alive, but he didn’t show it.

“Right. You could say that. Alaric Rhionen was already dead, but he’s back from the grave. He changed his name to Elios Linden and now controls Rhionen Meier Industries or RMI. He disappeared for four years and the whole world thought he was dead,” said Charles while snorted in disgust. “I was fooled too because he never showed himself for many years and he showed no activity as well. But apparently, he has returned.”

“So … that Elios Linden is Alaric Rhionen?” Ren frowned. “How come you find out about this?”

“He is very secretive and rarely shows himself. It was only last year that I managed to find out this information. I was very surprised when I found out that our enemy is not only still alive, but he has started to dominate the world with his initiatives in AI technology. He has succeeded in making so many people lost their jobs that now could be replaced by technology. It also triggered a second wave of psychological crises like the one that hit your father,” Charles looked deeply at his nephew. “I also just found out a few days ago that he actually has children.”

Ren didn’t understand what his uncle was talking about.

“What’s wrong with him having children now?” The young man asked.

Charles smiled faintly. His handsome face now looked scary because of his expression filled with revenge.

“Alaric loves his children so much. They are his most precious treasure. I will take them and do as I like, and make Alaric Rhionen understand what it felt like if other people acted as God over his life. Just like what he has been doing to others all this time.”

Charles took out his tablet and handed it to Ren. As soon as the young man received his tablet, Charles pressed the “PLAY” button on the tablet and a ten-minute video was played.

Ren paid close attention to the video. He saw Virconnect’s 4th-anniversary event which was celebrated on a large scale in New York and it was even broadcasted around the world.

Alaric Rhionen, or as he was now known as Elios Linden, walked down from the stage and approached a beautiful girl in a lovely blue dress at the table of honor. They then walked while holding hands intimately and got back onto the stage.

Alaric then introduced the woman as his wife, Aleksis Schneider. Ren frowned when he saw how different Alaric was from what he had imagined so far.

The man was very impressive. He had a handsome face and a unique appearance with platinum-colored hair and brilliant purple eyes. His wife was also very attractive. The two of them looked very perfect as a couple and they seemed to love each other.

This kind of person was the second Hitler? He wanted to end mankind? It felt unbelievable, Ren thought.

Alaric then smiled and said that he wanted to introduce his family to the audience, but that he would turn off the Virconnect access channel for viewers watching the program from home. He would only show his family to the audience in the ballroom.

“I managed to get this video from a hacker who hacked Splitz’s data. That’s why we can see what Alaric’s kids look like,” Charles explained.

Ren nodded. He was actually impressed that Alaric looked very fond of his children. He introduced a pair of twins aged nearly ten years old who looked so beautiful. The appearance of both of them looked very much like Alaric.

Alaric’s twin children were a boy and a girl. The two of them looked similar because they were both young. They had long platinum hair and blue eyes. Ren could predict that the boys would be very handsome, and the girl would be very beautiful when they grew up.

Alaric sat on the sofa and read a bedtime fairy tale to Altair and Vega, his firstborns, accompanied by muffled sighs of admiration in the ballroom.

“Uncle, do you want to kidnap these children?” asked Ren while raising his face, looking at Charles.

Charles shook his head. “I want you to marry his daughter.”

Ren was stunned. He looked back at the video and took a good look at the ten-year-old girl who looked like a doll. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. But she was just a child.

“I can’t possibly marry a child,” said Ren. “Uncle, please don’t talk nonsense like this.”

“We’ll wait for her to get older,” Charles said calmly. He looked at Ren intently. “You … can’t fall in love, can you? Then you can marry her to take revenge for us.”
