The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 303
People who witnessed the fighting at the airport terminal and the abuse on a beautiful woman were shocked that they could not broadcast the event live on Splitz’s social media. They couldn’t even post the pictures or videos.
“What happens? Is the internet down?” They asked each other.
“I won’t spare you anymore, Sophia,” said Elios in an icy voice. Sophia pounded Elios’ hand, choking her in the neck, but it didn’t affect the man one bit.
Airport security officers called by the crowd who witnessed the commotion immediately came and tried to intervene. However, when they were confronted by Elios, who was staring at them with a dangerous glint in his eyes, somehow, the four of them cowered in fear.
“Sophia!” Karl, who saw from the corner of his eye that Sophia was almost out of breath, immediately swung a punch at Mischa with all his might and then ran as hard as he could towards Sophia as his opponent dodged his punch.
Elios slammed Sophia’s body onto the floor and stood up to face Karl. For a moment, the two of them faced off.
“You have to pay for what you did,” Elios said without blinking. “I will make sure you get the most terrible punishment, one that will make you regret ever being born.”
Karl looked closely at the man responsible for his brother’s death, the only person he loved in this world. He really wanted to kill Elios and get his revenge. He wanted to end it all today.
“You know nothing about me,” replied Karl in an equally cold tone.
Elios’ threat, saying that he would make Karl regret being born, did not intimidate him at all. Karl had always regretted his birth.
He never asked to be born into this world. After he was born, his parents abandoned him in the hospital. If it weren’t for the Neumanns, he would never have survived. And, if it weren’t for Friedrich, he would never have grown up to be the strong man he was today.
After Friedrich died, Karl also never felt alive because, in his every waking moment, all he ever thought about was just revenge. His whole life was devoted to avenging Friedrich’s death.
After he achieved his goal.. then he would have no more purpose in life.
People who had never really lived would not fear death. Death was absolute to him. He was just waiting for his time to come.
“I have a bomb with me. If you don’t let us go, then we will all die,” said Karl with a mocking smile. “I don’t have anyone anymore. If Sophia and I die, no one will miss us. However, you, on the other hand …”
He looked at Elios defiantly. Although the man’s purple eyes glint dangerously, Karl was not at all scared. His hatred had taken root so deeply, blinded him from fear of this former professional assassin.
Elios glanced at Mischa, who was standing behind Karl. The man nodded and immediately spoke to his men to check the truth on Karl’s threat.
They immediately checked all the video footage from the past hour to find out if Karl had indeed planted the bomb and where it was located.
Karl shook his head and smiled faintly. “You won’t find it anywhere. The bomb is in my body.”
He unfastened his shirt’s top buttons and showed a leather strap hanging around his neck, with a round silver pendant. Karl raised his right hand and showed his watch.
He calmly pressed a button on the edge of his watch, and suddenly, the pendant on his neck lit up with a small, flashing red light.
“Once I activated this bomb, only my passcode can deactivate it. Even if you kill me now, you won’t be able to stop it. Once it doesn’t detect my heartbeat … the bomb will immediately explode.”
Elios was very impressed. Karl’s actions reminded him of professional assassins who would normally carry poison to kill themselves if they were caught to not be interrogated or tortured by the enemy.
Apparently, Karl always carried a bomb that he could activate at any time, if he was in a critical situation, like now. He would use it to threaten the enemy into letting him go, otherwise, he would kill himself and destroy everyone who was with him.
“What do you want?” asked Elios.
He didn’t care about the crowd of idiots in this terminal who instead of running for their lives, decided to flock around watching the commotion. However, he didn’t want to die here with them. Elios loved his wife and children so much, he didn’t want to die and leave them behind.
He wanted to return home to his family. He wanted to hug his wife and children again.
That was why Elios relented. He would let Karl go so as not to detonate the bomb here. Later, Elios would be able to find him again. Even to the end of the world, he would definitely be able to catch this person again.
“I want you to give me a plane and two pilots who will take us anywhere we want. And I want collateral too,” said Karl. “You must come with me.”
As soon as they took off, Karl would blow himself up and take Elios to die with him.
That way, he would be able to fulfill his nephew’s request to end things now. Today, it would all end here.
“No way!” exclaimed Mischa suddenly. “If you want to take Master, it makes no difference if you detonate the bomb here!”
Elios could guess what Karl wanted to do, and so can Mischa. That’s why Mischa quickly objected to his request.
“Fine, if that’s what you want. I’ll blow myself up here. Go ahead and say goodbye to your families now. I’ll give you two minutes,” said Karl coldly.
“Don’t …” Mischa walked forward. “You just take me. I will be your collateral.”
“Hmm … good. Apparently, we have some sensible people here,” said Karl with a faint smile. He then helped Sophia to her feet and stroked her hair gently. “Are you okay?”
Sophia shook her head. Tears streamed down from her eyes. She felt very grateful because Karl was so ready to face all possibilities. When she felt that their situation was so dire, it turned out that this man could free them from the enemy’s hands.
Elios looked at the two in disgust. Nevertheless, the expression on his face remained flat and cold.
Karl then pointed to an airport security officer. “You! Take out your handcuffs and cuff him!”
Karl tilted his chin at Mischa. The man nodded towards the security guard, who looked so confused.
“Do what he said,” says Mischa calmly. He stretched his hands forward.
He knew that Karl was making sure he couldn’t attack him and Sophia when they boarded the plane.
A guard came over to Mischa and then handcuffed him. Muffled shrieks were heard from among the female visitors who felt sorry when they saw the handsome young man being handcuffed.
Many feel impressed that Mischa sacrificed himself to the criminal who threatened to blow himself up and everyone around him.
“Now .. the plane?” Karl glared at Elios. “I know you have a private plane at this airport.”
Elios took out his cell phone and spoke to his pilot.
“You will be escorted by buggy to the plane now,” said the man coldly. “But before you leave, I want to know … why?”
When he heard Elios’ orders to get the plane ready for strangers, the pilot knew that something was not right and got ready to face the enemy. Later, as soon as the plane was at a safe altitude, he would jump from the plane with Mischa and leave these two villains to face their death.
Now, Elios needed to know, before Karl and Sophia died, why they did what they did.
“Hmm .. okay, because you’re very curious,” said Karl with a sarcastic smile. “I did it to make you suffer for everything you had done to the woman I love. You must know what it feels like to lose everything.”
Sophia, who was in Karl’s arms, was stunned by the man’s words.
The woman he loved? Did Karl mean her?
She didn’t know that Karl was doing this because of her. Didn’t Karl himself have a personal grudge against Elios?
Why didn’t he say anything?
Would he really not tell Elios the truth?
Why?
***
Meanwhile, at Prince Renald Hanenberg’s mansion, Vega was staring at her husband with teary eyes.
“What happened to you, Honey?” asked Ren in surprise. “What makes you so sad?”
He came to her and touched her hands gently. He could feel her shaking.
“Ren … do you love me?” asked the beautiful woman suddenly.
Ren nodded firmly. “I love you.”
He didn’t lie. That was the truth.
Vega bit her lip at her husband’s firm answer. She then took a deep breath and asked again.
“When did you know you were going to marry me?”
“When I first saw you,” Ren replied honestly.
“When was it?” Vega asked again. There was an urgency in her tone.
“Twelve years ago. You were ten years old then,” replied Ren without hesitation.
The prince’s face suddenly turned pale as soon as those words left his lips.
What did he say?
Why did he say those words?
Ren immediately felt his chest tighten. He didn’t understand what was going on…
“Oh, Ren …” Now, tears were streaming down hard from Vega’s eyes again. “So, it’s true…”
