" Are we following them?" One of them whispered.

" What choice do we have? Can't you see so many people surrounding us?"

" This really is a bad day. I don't know how we got lumped together with so many problems."

Others talked while the russian girls looked at Samuel with concerned eyes. They could tell the young man who was hiding his face wasn't a simple person. All these rich person were bowing down to him, it must mean that he had substantial background.

" H-he doesn't look like a bad guy." The quiet one whispered. She was youngest among them who had been hiding behind everyone. She spoke in russian so that only other one could understand her.

" Helga, you can't be like this. That man is dangerous, haven't you learn anything from your mistake?"

" But..."

" No, you can't trust strangers. I promised your mother that I will look after you. We will see what happen after which we can just return to our country."

" Y-you can't do that. If that happen what would happen to you? They are still searching everywhere for you."

" But I can't put you in danger. I thought we can do something if we escape but it seemed like people are same anywhere we go."

Their talk was interrupted by Elise who came to their side with a smile on her face. She had a proud look on her face like she was saying ' I told you so.'.

" You don't need to worry. Sami will take us to see the castle! No one will bother you there!" She grabbed the young russian girl's hand trying to comfort her.

She didn't understand but someone explain to her what Elise was saying. Seeing the cute girl's gesture did warm her heart a little, the turbulence that she was feeling calm down a little.

Everyone was led inside a private hall, it was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people but at the moment, it was empty. Samuel took his seat and wanted to call Elise but seeing her mingle with the young models, he didn't bother her.

He wanted to resolve the situation first seeing the nervous look on Alain's face he felt like his reputation of being cruel was getting out of hand. He was not a devil that drink the blood of his enemies, but in the eyes of these people he was akin to someone much more vicious.

He waited for a second staying silent only looking at Elise and the girls which made everyone a little uncomfortable. They couldn't see his eyes because he was wearing sunglasses but from the direction he was looking at everyone was sure that he was eyeing these young models.

In reality, he was only waiting for Raphael and others because he wanted to make a proposition. The girls sat in a corner with Lucie explaining few things to them, he left her to deal with the mess and since Lucie was a professional concierge, she could speak multiple languages which was enough for her to pacify the situation.

" Young master.... I didn't know what my son did but I will properly teach him in the future." Alain thought that his son Nathaniel struck a nerve by hitting on Samuel's entourage.

It was not unheard of young elites like Samuel to often indulge during these events. The girls needed connections and wealthy people like them could provide them with it for ample price. It was a hidden rule inside the industry that if one wanted to fly through the fashion industry they had to sacrifice some things first to get recognition and support from someone powerful.

Wertheimer family could be considered the top of the food chain in Paris but compared to Rothschild global dominance they were still a little fish in front of them. His son crossing the line even going so far as to show aggression against him could be considered 'mortal sin'.

It could give Samuel much needed ammunition to hurt the whole Wertheimer family if he felt like it which was why Alain wanted to avoid such a situation at any cost. He knew his son liked to make trouble but he was never overbearing like other rich brats.

Samuel also felt that Nathaniel didn't show any killing intent from start to finish which was why he didn't immediately beat him up and went for a different situation to gain something out of the whole ordeal.

" It's alright. I am not going to do anything rash because I didn't want to gather any attention to myself for this trip. So you don't need to feel so threatened by me, after all you are old man George's friend."

Hearing Samuel Alain finally breathed sigh of relief. He knew that they had special relationship but he never heard much about Samuel only time he had heard the rumours it would be about him destroying some Earl or even some gangs in LA. It was safe to assume he envisioned a strange outlook toward this young heir of Rothschild family but it appeared that he was still sane on the inside.

Samuel didn't say anything else, he waited and when Raphael came in with his team he explained everything to Alain. When he heard that his stupid son first surrounded these people then situation even escalated to them pulling guns on Samuel, his face turned ugly.

It was a rare situation to even meet someone like Samuel but his son was able to offend him to a level that he didn't thought was possible and what's it all for? Some young models! He had urge to beat him again but seeing Samuel's was still calm he knew that situation hadn't deteriorated to the degree of them having no way out.

" I surrendered my life that when this gentleman asked me to join him. I immediately refused since, I am still contracted to the Wertheimer family."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

" What? He wanted you to join him?" Alain whispered feeling odd about the whole thing.

Rothschild didn't have shortage of people trying to join them, retired mercenaries from all walks of life were eager to bath in the privilege of being connected to the most powerful family in the world. The job also came with best in the industry treatment, they were famous for taking care of their own so it's not a surprise that even guards would enjoy the same lavish treatment.

But why Raphael of all people? Alain had many people working under him. Raphael's team was good but they were not comparable to the exclusive guards of the family. They were more like contracted workers invited in to fill some holes.

Still if having let go of him was what's needed for him to weather this storm Alain would do it in a heartbeat! He made up his mind to settle the dispute once and for all!
