Chapter 572 - Punishment for Elien Mikhailova (1)

The public display of Alaric's affection to his wife following the moment Alaric shared the warmth of his family with the guests touched the many present, making them shed emotional tears. Really, the impact of Virconnect on human life since it was first launched four years ago was enormous.

The communication revolution created by Virconnect was often equated as when Alexander Graham Bell first invented the telephone in 1876, which became the forerunner to the connection of people throughout the world without having to be nearby.

The telephone revolutionized human life when its presence enabled people in different parts of the world to talk to each other over telephone lines.

Then, the internet made people more connected with more sophisticated levels and allowed long-distance video calls to give people the opportunity to get closer to each other through sound and images.

Finally, Virconnect 3D allowed humans to share three-dimensional videos with each other as if they were in the same place, and this product was later refined with Virconnect 4D, which cut the distance to zero.

With Virconnect 4D, whoever or wherever they were, as long as there were an internet connection and Virconnect device with them, they would be able to find and share life together in four dimensions, as if they were in the same place, felt the same temperature, the same gusts of wind, and the immensely realistic sound made it as if all their senses felt their presence in their destination.

After the discovery of a cancer cure, Virconnect became the most important product of the 21st century that changed human life, and this made Rhionen-Meier Industries and its owners the most influential corporation and people in the world today.

The closed and mysterious figure of Elios Linden was slightly opened to the public tonight, and they were very impressed to see that behind his indifferent and cold exterior, there was enormous love and warmth for his beloved family.

When Alaric took his wife back to their table, the Virconnect access connection to the public was reestablished, and viewers at home could see the figure of the two people leaving the stage. However, they couldn't see their faces, so it made hundreds of millions of people very curious.

Unfortunately, they also couldn't see photos of the two because the guests who were present were forbidden to take photos of Alaric and Aleksis and share them with any media. With its sophisticated blocking system, Splitz could also immediately erase Alaric or Aleksis' photos if they were circulated.

Alaric immediately inspired many who were present, and the impressive Linden family became trending on Splitz that night. There was news everywhere about the Linden family, Elios Linden and his beautiful wife who was the daughter of the Schneider family, and their twins, spread in various media with very romantic and impressive news content.

Terry, who was reading the news at his home in New York while relaxing, was stunned to see the running text on his computer being about the romantic and inspiring Linden family. Unconsciously, he smiled to himself and as he also felt happy for his sister.

Nicolae, who had been watching from the side of the living room in Medici Castle of how Alaric sat on the couch with Aleksis leaning on his c.h.e.s.t, then recited a chapter from a storybook to his children, could only stand transfixed in his place.

He knew that his brother loved Aleksis and their two children. He could only take a deep breath while pressing his c.h.e.s.t. It was suffocating, precisely because he knew exactly what Alaric was feeling at the time.

He too, loved Aleksis and the two children, just like his own biological children...

After the Virconnect connection was severed, he immediately entered the living room and warmly greeted his nephew and niece.

"Father has read you a story, so now it's time to go to sleep..." He carried Vega on his right arm and took Altair, who was already beginning to yawn. "Daddy Nic won't read you a story because your father already did it earlier."

"But Daddy Nic still has to accompany us until we sleep before Daddy Nic can go out." Vega sulked.

"Of course, Princess," Nicolae firmly answered as he ruffled the girl's hair and kissed her forehead.

That night, Virconnect's fourth birthday celebration was closed with great fanfare and the guests returned home with a deep impression. Alaric had received the report he had requested from Mischa and he had decided to settle it that night.

He wanted to show London and Rune, his two brothers-in-law, how to deal with a similar problem. After all, they were immensely wealthy and would be very influential in the future, so such tricks and traps were certainly be something they should be aware of.

"Pavel, can you send Sande home alone? I still need you to take care of something tonight," Alaric said after the program was over and the guests began to leave the ballroom.

He pointed at Elien, who was sitting huddled in fear at her table. The other artists had left the place, but the two scary men who had been guarding her didn't allow her to move an inch.

"I want to punish the person responsible for tonight's events," he said coldly.

Pavel looked surprised, but he didn't argue. He said something to Sande then kissed her cheek before letting his wife go. He then told the two directors who were sitting at their table to go home and not have to take care of what Alaric would do to Elien.

"Go to the penthouse first, Honey. I want to clean up something here for a minute." Alaric squeezed Aleksis' hand and helped her up. He didn't want Aleksis to see what he intended to do to fix the problem.

"Uhm... is..." Aleksis was speechless. She could guess that Elien Mikhailova must have been involved in the incident that made Alaric take an aphrodisiac this afternoon, and she knew that Alaric would make the girl pay for what she had done.

She glanced at the beautiful girl and took a deep breath. Aleksis didn't want to interfere in Alaric's business in front of other people because she was worried that people would consider her husband losing prestige in front of his wife, but she also hoped that Alaric wouldn't kill anyone anymore, as he had done when Aleksis was almost kidnapped by the Black River mafia group in Singapore.

At that time, he mercilessly ordered his assassins to slaughter the mob until no one was left and that event made Rosemary Lin hold a deep grudge against Aleksis and wanted to kill her on campus... which then resulted in Aleksis's accident, causing Alaric and Aleksis to be separated for ten years.

Violence will only beget violence and resulted in new grudges, she sadly thought. Aleksis didn't want Alaric to attract enemies who can threaten their lives in the future, especially now that they've already had two children who really needed his presence.
