The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 286
It was so hard for Charles to believe that his nephew had defeated Wolf. Not only that, he even claimed he had found out Wolf’s identity? How did he do it?
“Are you serious?” asked Charles with a frown. “Don’t joke about these kinds of things with me, Renald.”
“Why would I be joking right at this moment?” asked Ren with a shrug. “It’s no use. Wolf’s real name is Nicolae Sorin. He is an alchemist. For decades, he uses a variety of different identities and he has been in cybersecurity only for the last fifteen years. Currently, it is difficult to find his whereabouts, but he still appears occasionally and I can see the pattern he left behind.”
Charles widened his eyes at Ren’s words.
“You are … so impressive. Then how come I never heard your name on the Darknet or anywhere else?” asked Charles, confused.
“That’s because I never brag about my skills and I never try to be famous there. I just watched silently and did everything without having to draw attention to myself,” Ren explained.
The words of the 20-year-old man really amazed Charles. He knew his nephew was a genius, but he did not expect that Ren would also be good at information technology and could hack so skillfully.
At first, he thought Ren was just like Friedrich who was a genius and mastered many languages as well as being an expert in science.
However, Ren had surpassed his expectation because it turned out that the young man possessed more skills that Friedrich did not have in the past. That young man was also a tough hacker.
Ahh… if he did defeat Wolf, then of course his ability was arguably better than the no. 1 hacker on Darknet. Charles felt very proud of his nephew.
“Okay then, I believe in you.” Charles patted his nephew’s shoulder and smiled proudly. “I won’t be able to do this alone.”
“Hmm…” Ren looked at the video again and took a deep breath. His gaze was fixed on the beautiful ten-year-old girl who was sitting sweetly listening to Alaric reading a fairy tale to her.
He actually did not have the heart to hurt the child. The child did not do anything wrong and she was as innocent as a lamb. Her father was the cruel one and he should be the one who had to go through all the suffering, not the child.
“You must not get carried away,” commented Charles, who realized his nephew was starting to hesitate. “You are also innocent, just like thousands of children of Alaric’s other victims. Your father was also innocent, but why must you suffer? If Alaric’s children and family are also victims because of our revenge, that is their father’s fault. Let them blame him.”
Ren did not say another word. He was forced to admit the truth of Charles’ words and shut his heart tightly for any forgiveness. He became an orphan and had to live through the suffering all because Alaric cruelly killed his father.
In fact … Alaric did not care at all and he knew Ren’s father. Friedrich Neumann died as a common victim, just like thousands of others, when Alaric tested the algorithm at Splitz to eliminate the mentally weak people.
In Alaric’s book, only the good, strong, and smart people were allowed to live. Friedrich became a victim simply because he was not strong. His terminal illness made him lose his grip and become depressed, so he became one of Alaric’s victims.
“You know, Alaric … my father was much more entitled to immortal life than you. What is your contribution to mankind? Nothing. You are only lucky to have been born by two immortals. Without the blood of your father and mother … you are absolutely not deserving of immortality,” Ren muttered grumpily as he wrote a threatening letter that he intended to send to Alaric after he kidnapped Vega.
There were so many insults and blasphemies that he wanted to shout or write down on the paper, but he had to hold back and say nothing because he did not want Alaric to figure out his identity.
Six years after Charles showed Vega’s video for the first time, Ren finally met the girl in person. He had stalked and watched Vega grow up for years, as he and Charles worked out their plans.
Charles gave money to Sophia and helped her to open a cafe in Rotterdam. Sophia became their bait and distracted Alaric and his family, while they came up with a meticulously detailed plan to kidnap Vega.
The opportunity suddenly arrived when Nicolae let his guard down, he left Altair and Vega to be with Marie. Mischa, who was heartbroken, could be lured away from Paris using Lisa as bait.
They almost killed him in Provins together with that woman, but Ren knew better to let him live so Mischa could suffer all his life.
Ren finally managed to get Vega. At that time, he was still working at SpaceLab to get rid of any suspicion. He absolutely could not be associated with Vega and Sophia in any way.
His chest was filled with immeasurable satisfaction when he saw Alaric, who was very closed off, finally begged the whole world for help to find his missing daughter. He could see how deep Alaric was suffering.
Ren was convinced that Alaric really loved his family and that Charles’ decision to kidnap Vega was a brilliant plan.
They would torture Alaric for ten years, without knowing what happened to his daughter. After that … they would pretend to return Vega to her family. They would brainwash Vega to forget all of them and became an obedient girl who fell in love with Ren.
They knew that it would be very difficult to hide Vega in this era of advanced technology. So they changed her hair and her eye colors.
By using the newest product, they made sure Vega’s beautiful platinum hair turned brown. They put the product in the shampoo she used in the village. They also did iris implant surgery to replace her beautiful blue irises with brown.
In the future, when it was time for them to ‘bring out’ Vega, they would slowly make her look like Vega again. That was going to be a perfect time to reunite her and her family. Vega would return to her family home with her beloved husband who had been helping her.
Ren would become a Trojan horse for his enemy by entering the Alchemist environment and destroyed the enemy from within.
Slowly, he would note down the members of the clan and then eradicated them one by one. He would also kill Alaric for revenge. And finally … of course he and Charles would take over the elixir of immortality.
The Alchemists would no longer be the ones to decide the fate of mankind. Charles and Ren would determine who had the right to live and who had the right to die. They would become the absolute rulers of mankind.
Not only Moravia, but the whole world would also fall under Ren’s control.
That was what Ren wanted as he and Charles made all the plans. He held a deep grudge against too many people which resulted in him living alone without parents with all his suffering.
Now, everything should have gone according to plan if only Vega had not gotten pregnant and then lost their babies.
Ren did not love Vega romantically, but he was a normal guy who could get jealous. He had seen various videos in the past when Vega was chasing Mischa when she was still a teenager.
Now, after the girl became his wife and looked so friendly with Mischa whom she met in the Almstad city park, for some reason, Ren’s entire chest was overpowered by a huge sense of jealousy.
Deep down, he was afraid that Vega would leave him and love Mischa again. Ren did not want the woman who had become his wife to like another man.
Because of that, in his intense jealousy, Ren engaged in sexual activity with Vega and impregnated her. At that time, he was not in his right mind. He just wanted to show his dominance as a man, as her rightful husband.
As a result of his one-time mistake, Vega became pregnant. The unexpected situation destroyed all of Ren’s plans and goals.
From the start, he agreed to do this plan and he confidently married Vega because he knew he was an aromantic. He could not possibly fall in love with her and be deterred from his original goal.
He never wanted to have children from his wife because he did not want to involve children in his war. He did not want innocent children to be victims.
However … he couldn’t change destiny either. The genie was out of the bottle. Vega was finally pregnant. When Vega walked away from him, Ren felt how empty his life was. And he felt even more devastated when Vega told him that she was pregnant with their children.
It took some time for him to think about everything thoroughly. He could not possibly hurt his children and the woman who became their mother if he continued this bloody revenge plan…
However…
However, before he could make a decision, Amelia had killed the children in Vega’s womb. Ren did not even know that his wife was carrying two fetuses. He thought she was having one child only, not twins.
The thought that his revenge had killed two innocent humans broke Ren’s heart. He realized that he had become as evil as Alaric Rhionen whom he hated so much.
He couldn’t love Vega … but he loved their children very much, and their deaths really broke his heart. He did not even want to live anymore.
However, Ren felt very guilty for Vega. He had involved the girl in very sadistic revenge and took a lot of victims.
If possible … he wanted to kneel and kiss her feet … On the one hand, he really wanted to apologize to her and made some amends.
However, on the other hand, he was terrified that Vega would find out that Ren was the mastermind behind all her sufferings. Ren was very worried to think that Vega would hate him and left him alone.
What was the point of him living in the first place?
