The party was very beautiful and lively, and when it ended all guests returned home with very memorable memories in their hearts. The two most powerful Alchemist families were united tonight to become one very impressive force. Ned and Portia were like the king and queen of Rivendell in Tolkien's story.

Caspar and his small group managed to go home before the party ended with the excuse that Aleksis had to go to sleep. Before 10 pm, everyone arrived back at the hotel. Finland took Aleksis to rest but Caspar and Jadeith went to another room to meet Lauriel, who was treating Alexei's wound.

"What happened?" Caspar asked quickly. He was actually surprised to see Alexei still alive. To his knowledge, Lauriel would not forgive Alexei for what he had done to his goddaughter.

Lauriel briefly described what had happened and Caspar felt huge sympathy for him. If the same thing had happened to Finland, he would not hesitate to give up everything in order to save the woman he loved.

"If Luna were still alive, I'm sure I can find her..." Caspar said.

"We are 78 years late..." Lauriel replied sadly. "If I had known that the dead girl was not Luna, I would have searched for her everywhere in the world, and I would have found her. But now we will start decades late. All traces and information must have been long lost or buried..."

"I promise you... We will find her whereabouts... dead or alive." Caspar patted Lauriel's shoulder warmly. He then opened his medical bag and took some medical equipment. "I'll take care of Alexei. You must still be shaken."

Lauriel nodded slowly. He then stepped into the kitchen and took out a bottle of whiskey and a few glasses.

"Anyone wants to drink?" he asked in a hoarse voice. No one answered, so Lauriel just poured for himself and drank in the corner of the room with a dark face.

Caspar quickly carried out a small operation and pulled the bullet from Alexei's c.h.e.s.t which fortunately did not hit his heart. Although he was bleeding a lot, once the bullet was removed and the wound was stitched, his body began to stabilize. They placed him in a room guarded by Petra. After Caspar finished caring for Alexei, he joined Lauriel and drank with him.

"What are your plans now?" Caspar asked.

"I will take him to Yorkshire to check whether his story about Luna was true or not. At the same time, I will free Sophia," Lauriel answered. "Once Sophia is free, she will become the new leader of the Meier family and get rid of Alexei."

"How can you do that?" Caspar asked. "Do you know where Sophia is?"

"I will interrogate one of Alexei's staff. They will definitely choose to support Sophia and release her." Lauriel rolled his glass with a faint smile, "Alexei is no longer an Alchemist. He has no right to rule the Meier family."

Caspar looked at Lauriel in surprise. "You gave him Death?"

"Right. I saved his life, meaning now his life is mine, so I am free to take it at any time. I decided that someone like him does not deserve to be part of our people." Lauriel finished his glass in one gulp and refilled it. "He doesn't know I gave him Death."

Caspar could not think of a more appropriate sentence for Alexei than to revoke his privileges as an Alchemist, the perfect human. As a purist, he was very proud of his status. Taking that privilege from him would be a punishment worse than death for Alexei. He would probably hope that Marion's bullet had pierced his heart.

"I entrust all of this to you..." Caspar patted Lauriel's shoulder and nodded. "Let me know if you need anything."

"Of course." Lauriel smiled, "I will often stop by to see Aleksis..."

"The door to our house is always open."

Caspar then excused himself and went to Finland, who had fallen asleep with Aleksis. That night he finally managed to sleep peacefully, after almost 2 weeks of restlessness thinking about Aleksis.

Finally, all these problems ended. They could return home and live a happy life as a family.

The next day, Caspar, Finland and Aleksis, Jean, Jadeith, Kara, and some of Caspar's bodyguards returned to Germany. Lauriel and his team chose to go to England and made plans to save Sophia and search for information about Lady Luna.

Because Alexei had made this problem personal, Lauriel was no longer halfhearted in dealing with him. He took all responsibility from Caspar and, with his crew, they captured Alexei and penetrated his court in Yorkshire to free Sophia.

Upon arrival in Germany, one of the scientists employed by the Schneider Group who had found the vaccine to the virus given to Aleksis immediately gave Aleksis the antidote and ensure the little girl is cured one hundred percent, to the relief of her parents.

"If you go to America, stop by in LA," Jean said before leaving, "I don't have much work for the next 6 months. I just need to attend to the promotion for this new film. I haven't accepted a new project."

"I will. I have to go back to San Francisco anyway..." Finland said. "I've taken too much time off from work. Tony has been grumpy..."

Caspar turned to Finland. He just found out that his wife was planning to return to America immediately.

"Why... why didn't you tell me that you wanted to go back to San Francisco?" he asked rather sullenly, "Didn't you say that you want to stop working at LTX?"

"Yes, I will indeed quit... but Tony made me promise to train my successor first before I can resign." Finland tried to use her 'puppy eyes' weapon on Caspar. It worked a little, but Caspar still looked sullen. Thinking that her tactics were unsuccessful, Finland finally hugged Caspar's waist and kissed his cheek. "The sooner I train my successor, the sooner I can resign. Now the decision is yours, whether you want to help me resign or complicate me."

"I'll help you," Caspar answered quickly. "I will make sure that you are able to train your replacement within 24 hours."

"Ahahahaha... very ambitious. Alright, we'll see." Finland turned to Jean, "We will visit you in LA or you can visit us in San Francisco. Anytime you can."

Jean frowned as he recalled something, "Hmm... if I'm not mistaken, we have a promo schedule in San Francisco. Maybe I can come to see you guys. I'll let you know if the schedule matches."

"Alright. Just let me know..." Finland hugged Jean and kissed his cheeks. "Goodbye. See you in America."

Caspar shook Jean's hand and patted his shoulder. "Safe travels."

"Thank you."

After the car that drove Jean was out of sight, Caspar held Finland's hand and returned to the castle.

"Thank you... for accepting Jean into your clan. Now I am not afraid of losing my best friend anymore." Finland tiptoed and kissed Caspar on the lips. The man welcomed her warmly and did not let go. He started kissing Finland more intensely and squeezed her long, loose hair.

"If you're happy, I'm happy..." Caspar whispered in Finland's ear tenderly. "But I won't reject your gratitude..."

Finland chuckled and looked down, blushing. She was so adorable that Caspar went crazy and quickly carry her into his study. His mind, which was now no longer clouded due to Aleksis' condition, had become very light and happy, and now he just wanted to vent his love to his wife.

When Caspar carefully placed Finland's body on the sofa, the girl whispered softly in his ear, "Don't forget to lock the door."

A smile etched on Caspar's lips as he nodded and hurriedly locked the door to his study.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/the-alchemists_13038754206496605/the-dance-party-x_50791730080964777">/book/the-alchemists_13038754206496605/the-dance-party-x_50791730080964777</a> for visiting.
