The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 306
Ahhh .. now it all made more sense. Ren was Friedrich Neumann’s son who grew up with a grudge toward Elios for killing his father. While Karl was Charles, who had devoted his whole life to raising Ren to avenge Friedrich’s death.
They had planned and prepared everything meticulously, including making Sophia their scapegoat if their plan was exposed.
Then .. who was Skia really? Why did he give information against Ren, but all the evidence available actually cleared Ren of all charges?
And why did Karl admit all this revenge plan was done for Sophia?
Did Karl want to protect Ren? There were so many questions that filled Elios’s mind.
He had guessed the answer … but he still needed confirmation.
“Karl Sotterham and Sophia Meier, listen carefully. I’ll say this one last time. I will never forgive you for ruining my daughter’s life,” said Elios coldly. “Now, you are safe … but, when I see you again, and I WILL see you again, I will make sure you receive the punishment you deserve. Your death will be so painful and slow …”
After saying those words, Elios turned and just walked away. He did not care about Karl’s threat to blow himself up if his request was not fulfilled.
“You are a monster … you deserve all of this!” exclaimed Karl suddenly. “You are the one responsible for the suffering your daughter is going through! I will never let you rest easy if you keep killing innocent people. You keep that in mind!”
Just as Elios was not afraid that Karl will blow himself up on the spot, Karl was also not afraid of Elios’s threat.
“Don’t go, you bastard!”
Karl raised his watch and was about to press the button to detonate himself, followed by the panicked screams of the people around him.
However, suddenly, Elios turned around and brandished the gun he had taken out so quickly from under his suit.
BANG
BANG
Everyone froze in place as Elios quickly fired his gun at Karl’s body and shot at five points. Karl’s both wrists and knees and his neck.
THUD
With a loud sound, Karl’s body immediately fell to the floor and blood streamed out of his five wounds.
“Take off the handcuffs!” Elios ordered the officer who had handcuffed Mischa, and he immediately ordered the people to move away from the scene. “If you don’t want to die, get away from here, you idiot!”
Without being ordered twice, hundreds of people around him immediately ran frantically. They had heard Karl say that the bomb would explode immediately if it failed to detect his heartbeat. And this ruthless man just casually killed him?
Wasn’t he afraid that the bomb would explode soon? Crazy!
Sophia’s scream immediately pierced through the air. She dropped down on her knees and hugged Karl, who was lying on the floor covered in blood.
What happened just now was so sudden, and she didn’t expect Elios would just shoot Karl.
In fact … Sophia had thought that she and Karl would be able to leave this place alive.
She was already planning to confront Karl later after they were up in the air about why he lied to Elios and said he was doing all these for Sophia’s sake. The girl knew for a fact that Karl had not done all these acts of revenge for her.
She remembered that when she met Karl 12 years ago, the man said he had a personal grudge against Elios Linden. So clearly, he lied with what he said earlier.
Did Karl still want to protect his nephew so he could enter the Alchemist clan and continued their plan to destroy those people from within?
“We have 20 minutes,” Elios told Mischa. The younger man nodded and immediately pushed Sophia away. He knelt down and checked Karl’s condition.
Ah, his mentor and master, Elios, was truly one of a kind. He could shoot five points in Karl’s body with such precision that it would paralyze Karl but not kill him immediately.
They needed Karl alive and his heart beating to prevent the bomb from exploding.
“Does anyone have scissors or safety pins?” Mischa shouted to the people around him. The man had knowledge and experience in defusing bombs. The 20 minutes that Elios gave him should be sufficient if he had the simple tools to do the job.
“I … I have a safety pin,” said a woman who rushed over toward the man and handed him a safety pin. A security guard came giving him scissors. Sophia, who sat beside Karl’s body, which kept flowing fresh blood, was hysterical and she kept screaming.
“Aaaaaahh …. !!!” Her voice made the atmosphere become more intense and filled with fear. Elios frowned at Sophia’s hysterical screams. He walked over to the woman and pulled her away from there. Sophia struggled to escape and screamed again. “Let go of meeee!!”
Elios pulled Sophia closer to him and grabbed her shoulders. His pair of purple eyes were burning with rage. “If you don’t shut up, I’ll give you the same punishment as your boyfriend. Is that what you want?”
Sophia suddenly fell silent. She didn’t want to be paralyzed for life. She still had such a long life ahead of her. Finally, she shook her head in fear and immediately fell to the floor. She pressed her own mouth so that her voice would not escape her lips.
The situation was so intense and gut-wrenching. The police who had arrived managed to calm the crowd and control them all to follow orders.
Mass panic would only cause unnecessary casualties with young children, the elderly, and women trampled by those who want to save themselves.
The people who had managed to get away finally calmed down and opened their cell phones to check for updates on the situation inside the airport.
However, they immediately became shocked when they did not find any news about the commotion at Almstad airport.
“How strange .. How could a terror of this size not be covered by the press?” They wondered in puzzlement.
Earlier, when they were inside and tried to broadcast the terror live or upload pictures and videos to social media, for some reason, their posts were blocked. They initially thought it was caused by an error in their internet connection or something.
However, when they couldn’t find any single news on the whole internet about the terror at the airport, they all realized this was no coincidence.
How strange …
They could only look at each other and ask themselves what was really going on.
The truth was, Elios always blocked every news and video that showed him. That’s what enabled him to protect his privacy and family in today’s internet era, where privacy was a very expensive luxury.
As a very powerful man who owned Splitz, the world’s largest social media, and had the power to control the internet, he could determine what should be covered in breaking news and what was not.
What happened at Almstad airport today was one that he didn’t want to spread. Until he found out all the truth, he wouldn’t let the kidnappers hear any news.
“Bastard… kill me,” whispered Karl in a faltering voice, closing his eyes. He could feel excruciating pain from the five points on his body that had been pierced by the bullets.
He was furious that Elios did not kill him immediately, but only incapacitated him, enough to give them time to defuse the bomb he had activated in his neck.
However, in this condition, Karl was completely unable to do anything about it.
Mischa completely ignored Karl. He swiftly opened the pendant hanging from Karl’s neck with a safety pin. He examined the composition of the small bomb inside. The man was fully concentrated on his work and did not pay attention to his surroundings.
Many female visitors were watching him from afar with their chests pounding. This handsome man really attracted their attention. His handsome face, with golden curls and a serious expression, looked so beautiful to look at.
His all-black outfit and his calmness in handling the bomb made him seem mysterious, which fascinated the women. Everyone prayed silently that he could defuse the bomb and save himself.
Many of those bystanders took his photos secretly and tried to upload them to social media. However, just like the others, they had to experience the shock because they suddenly couldn’t access Splitz.
“Who are these people?” They asked themselves. “Why can’t we post anything about them?”
Nobody knew that Elios was the owner of Splitz and Mischa was his right hand. Of course, they easily blocked all news about themselves.
As soon as the situation calmed down a bit, except for Karl’s panting as he was fighting for his life, Sophia’s hysterical sobs, and the visitors’ muffled shrieks and whispers, Elios immediately contacted his wife to find out what really happened to their daughter.
“Did Vega call you?” Aleksis’s voice sounded panicked. “She is not home. This morning she said she was going out with your father, but they haven’t returned. I didn’t know they went to Almstad.”
“Hmm .. I think right now she’s with that boy,” Elios said in a voice full of regret. “If he dared touched my daughter again.. I will make him understand what it means by a living hell….”
