Marion quickly ordered Larkin to gather all the power he had to seek information throughout Paris and all over France about Vega and Mischa's whereabouts. Marion gave him their photos and told Larkin to mobilize all of his men without delay at all.

Marion knew that they were racing against time. The longer they let the criminals who kidnapped Vega escape, the more her safety would be threatened.

Larkin was very surprised when he saw Vega's face. He had never seen such a beautiful girl. He could only wonder who exactly this teenager Marion was looking for, and what she had to do with Mischa.

"I have ordered all my men to look for them," Larkin said after his men left the mansion one by one. "Now, give me the antidote."

"What? Do you think I'm stupid?" Marion snorted. "I give you three days. You will die miserably because your body will slowly go on decay mode if you don't get the antidote from me. I will only give it to you if you can give me good news."

"What????" Larkin could only contain his anger. He knew he could not do anything. "All right. How do I contact you when I get clues?"

Marion tossed a burner phone at Larkin. The man deftly caught it. "There is only one number there. You always have to put this one in your pocket. I will call whenever I need you. If you don't pick up... just say goodbye to the antidote."

After saying that, Marion and Petra walked out of the mansion with long steps.

It was already 1 am.?Soon Nicolae and Lauriel would arrive in Paris. Then followed by Caspar and Alaric. They must immediately return to the penthouse to discuss the situation.

***

Nicolae and Lauriel immediately left for the airport and went to Paris as soon as they heard what had happened in Paris. Marie wanted to come along, but Nicolae asked her to stay in Grosseto to look after their child, Summer. He did not want his daughter to know what was happening and became traumatized.

"We will keep in touch. I will need your help tracking," Nicolae said, squeezing Marie's hand gently before he took his coat and walked out of the castle. He couldn't even kiss Marie before leaving since he was too distraught.

His c.h.e.s.t felt very tight. His heart was filled with guilt. Had he not left Paris and gone to Grosseto, this would not have happened.

Vega was his responsibility, but this week he had acted selfishly by leaving the girl with someone else. Never in a million years, he thought Vega would be kidnapped by criminals when he left her.

And ... where was Mischa? Why did no one find him? What happened exactly?

Both of them did not make a sound and were busy with their own thoughts until they arrived at the airport. There were no chartered planes available in the last-minute, so they were forced to wait. Caspar, who flew in his private jet from Germany, took the time to stop by in Rome and pick up the two men.

The journey from Rome to Paris went very quietly. Nobody said anything. Caspar brought his wife, together with Rune and Aldebar who happened to be visiting their castle. Their faces all looked gloomy.

Finland shed tears incessantly. Nevertheless, she tried hard to cry without a sound. She did not want to make the people on the plane feel even more stressed.

At 4 am, they landed at Orly airport and immediately drove to the city center, heading to the Nobel Hotel.

***

Alaric and Aleksis arrived last because their location in New York was the farthest from Paris. Their plane landed at 4:30 am, and they immediately asked the driver who took them Paris city center to speed up.

Alaric wanted to arrive as soon as possible at the penthouse and embrace his son. He also wanted to immediately coordinate with everyone about what steps they should take to find Vega.

The Nobel Hotel staff in the lobby were constantly amazed at the arrival of such an impressive group of people. Marion and Petra returned to the hotel first. They immediately gave the staff instructions to prepare to welcome the arrival of the two groups before they went up to the penthouse.

The staff had no idea that the people they were waiting for would arrive before dawn and that everyone looked amazing. When Nicolae and Lauriel stepped into the lobby, two female staff members were in awe and almost forgot to greet them.

Who were these people? Were they all models?

The guests and staff could only look at one another and question among themselves. No one recognized who the people were as they walked calmly toward the elevator.

After the elevator went up and the screen showed that the elevator stopped on the 40th floor, they began to guess that those attractive people must be related to the hotel owner because they were definitely headed to the penthouse.

Wait ... were they really members of the famous Schneider family????They were all wondering.

Half an hour later, from the lobby entrance, entered a stunning couple. Alaric, with his distinctive appearance, took his beautiful but gloomy-looking wife by the hand. They were followed by several scary-looking men in black.

Although very few people had seen both of them, Alaric's unique appearance was quite recognizable to the public. Considering they had seen the Schneider family members passing by, hotel guests and staff immediately guessed that this newly arrived woman was the only daughter of the Schneider family.

And the man holding her hand ... he must be Elios Linden, her husband.

People could only hold their breath and watch the couple with a look of admiration. What happened exactly? Why were they all here?

What did those two powerful and reclusive families do in Paris at this early hour?

So many questions filled their minds.
