The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 302
Karl nodded showing his agreement with Sophia’s plan. He still kept his own gun. If he wanted to enter the terminal, he also had to get rid of it because airport security would not allow him to get into the plane by carrying the gun.
If he were to use his identity as the crown prince’s personal assistant, it would have been possible for Karl to have escaped with a gun. But in a situation like now, he couldn’t do that.
Soon, Karl Sotterham would be a fugitive for trying to take Prince Renald hostage. Although Ren had stepped down from his position as the crown prince, he remained a Hanenberg, a descendant of the ruling dynasty of Moravia.
Sophia kissed Karl again briefly then rose to her feet and carried her handbag. “I will be right back.”
Karl just stared at Sophia’s departure with dark eyes. Inwardly, he felt a little guilty towards the girl.
Sophia really thought they were going to Germany and starting a new life there. She even threw away the gun.
Karl took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His mind was once again imagining his nephew’s sad face who begged him to end it all.
He remembered the first time he carried the newborn baby in his strong hands. Ren just came out of the incubator after struggling to survive for months. The baby was very weak and sickly.
Karl remembered he shed tears while carrying his only nephew and promised himself that he would take care of the child for life and help him avenge his father’s death.
He saw Ren growing up from afar because he and Hannah had to separate for a while where he had to live a life with a new identity. Only when Ren was eight years old Karl was able to return to Moravia and became his personal tutor.
After Hannah died, Karl was forced to go be out of the way because Ren was being cared for by the Genevieve family. He was only able to return to look after Ren after the boy was sent to school in England.
After Ren received a job offer at SpaceLab, Karl came back and he could stay by his side constantly, and for nearly 12 years they were together.
Karl looked after and loved Ren as much as he would love his own son, even though he only worked as Ren’s assistant. He took Friedrich’s position in the young man’s life.
Ren became Karl’s only goal in life and his nephew also became the son he would never have because Karl never got married nor started his own family.
“Karl Sotterham.”
The cold voice stirred Karl from his reverie. Karl could guess the man who had just arrived and called his name. Karl still recognized his voice.
However, he did not rush to open his eyes. With an indifferent attitude, Karl exhaled and then opened his eyes. He did not turn to where the sound came from. Calmly, he lifted his cup and took a slow sip of the tea.
“There are so many things I want to ask you,” Elios said without blinking. He realized that the man in front of him seemed too indifferent for someone who would already know who Elios really was.
Mischa, who was standing next to Elios, folded his arms across his chest. His attitude looked threatening.
They had been watching Karl since he left Prince Renald Hannenberg’s office and they had almost caught him when he arrived at the airport. However, because Mischa heard from his men that Sophia was also coming here, they decided to wait to see the two meet.
The information given by Skia was right all along, Karl and Sophia were indeed involved in Vega’s kidnapping. Now, they only had to find out what the connection between these two people and Ren was.
Skia accused Ren of being involved but the prince denied everything and he said he didn’t know anything. The evidence also showed that Ren was actually not related by blood to Karl.
Then, who was lying? Elios and Mischa would not just believe in Skia even though he claimed to have repented and regretted his actions because now he was dying and wanted to atone for sins.
They also won’t just believe in Ren, because his actions of marrying Vega, a village girl he just met was also very suspicious.
Did Karl orchestrate Ren and Vega’s marriage without telling Ren who Vega really was?
Or did Ren do everything while fully aware of the actual situation? That he was actually one of the masterminds behind Vega’s kidnapping?
Now, they just need a confession from Karl and Sophia…
Karl lifted his head and looked at Mischa and Alaric, pretending he did not know who they were. “I’m sorry, … But it seems like you were talking to the wrong person.”
Alaric smiled faintly. He looked at Karl with his brilliant purple eyes. His voice sounded cold as he gave orders to Mischa.
“Take him and Sophia.”
Mischa immediately grabbed Karl by the shoulders and was about to pull him up, but unexpectedly, Karl suddenly grabbed the man’s arm and slammed him on the floor.
The calm he had been showing immediately changed into anger and he attacked Mischa with dangerous punches. Mischa swiftly got up and blocked Karl’s attack. A fight between the two men was inevitable.
For the first time in his life, Karl was able to directly touch the people responsible for his brother’s death, and his entire chest was immediately filled with the rage that had been stored up for decades.
In the past, he could only observe from afar and curse them while plotting revenge. Now, they were right before his eyes and even within reach of his arms.
This was his first and last chance to vent all his hatred and grudge.
Karl continued to kick, punch, and hit Mischa while the man blocked all of Karl’s attacks. He then retaliated against Karl’s attacks.
These two men of the same age both possessed high martial skills and strong bodies. The physical altercation between the two was fierce and immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of people in front of the airport terminal.
“Karl!!!” Sophia screamed hysterically after she got out of the toilet, but her voice did nothing to stop the ongoing fight between Karl and Mischa. However, her voice caught Elios’ attention, who immediately walked over to her with long strides.
“This time you’ve gone too far, Sophia,” hissed Alaric, which immediately grabbed his cousin’s neck and pulled her body closer.
“Aaaakkhh …” Sophia widened her eyes in shock when he suddenly choked her neck and stared at her face from a very close distance with eyes filled with flames of anger. “A .. Ala .. ric …”
The girl’s voice was barely audible because her throat was not getting any air. Her hands reached out and tried to get Elios’ hand off her neck, but it was a useless effort since Elios was so much stronger than her.
The visitors around them who saw the incident suddenly became boisterous and screamed in panic. On one side, they saw two men fighting violently, while on the other, they saw a woman suffocated almost out of breath.
In no time, many of them immediately took out their cell phones and broadcasted the event live to social media Splitz.
“Crazy! Today there was a commotion at the airport ..!”
“Why didn’t the police intervene??”
“Wait … What is actually happening?”
The people who broadcasted the commotion live immediately went into great shock when they realized they could not broadcast anything to Splitz.
