Adopted Soldier

Chapter 156

While Alex was explaining some things to Niel, another event was happening with another member of the Mercenary Club .

In a dimly lit room Sayaka was sitting in front of her father . Even now as he sat right in front of her, Sayaka still couldn’t sense her father’s presence . She sometimes even forgets what her father truly looks like .

As the father and daughter sit face to face, their was nothing but silence . Sayaka was still having trouble believing what her father just told her .

"Is this true father?" Sayaka was the first to break the silence . She looked at her father, with a look of anxiety and confusion .

"Unfortunately it is . " Hearing her father’s solemn response, Sayaka felt even more anxious than before .

"Why is she a target?" Sayaka once again looked at the picture that was placed in front of her . It was a picture of a young beautiful girl with long black tied in two messy low pigtails . This girl was none other than Sayaka’s best friend Rachel .

"The one who placed a hit on her didn’t explain why . "

"Obviously we aren’t taking this job, right?" Sayaka who was usually calm was panicking at this moment .

"Our family wont take this job . We may be assassins but we do have our own rules . Still, even if we don’t do this, many others in our profession will try . Since the pay for this job is very tempting . "

Hearing what her father said, made Sayaka resolve herself . "Father I need to go . " As Sayaka stood up ready to leave, her father was there blocking the door .

"Where are you going Sayaka?"

"I need to go to my best friend . I need to protect her . So please father move aside . " Even in this moment of anxiety and panic, Sayaka couldn’t raise her voice at her father .

"You an assassin, protect someone? Do you really think with your capabilities you’ll be able to stop those that come for Rachel’s life?"

Sayaka gritted her teeth as she knows what her father was saying is true . She was not exactly good enough to defend her best friend, hell she wasn’t sure that she could protect herself against those that will come for Rachel .

"Even so, I still need to go . I need to protect my best friend . She’s important to me father, you should know that . So please let me go . " Sayaka pleaded to her father, but he still wouldn’t move .

"Sayaka calm down and think . Your friend is a daughter of the Regius family, do you think those people will fall so easily? Also don’t you have a friend who is better suited to protect Rachel?" Sayaka’s father was calm as he gave advise to his daughter .

Sayaka who heard what her father said was still anxious, but she started to think about what was just said . There was only one friend that she knows of, that could possibly deal with a a bunch of assassin while protecting a girl and doing all that without breaking a sweat .

Sayaka took out her phone and made a call .

"Alex please help!"

. . .

In a room filled with paintings and sculptures an old man was looking at a picture of a young man holding a rifle while smiling at the camera .

"Son . . . I will avenge you . I will make Lyner, the b*stard that killed you, suffer . . . Oh how I will make him scream . . . I promise . " Tang Jing held back his tears from falling . He as one of the ten generals must never show weakness, but as a father was he not allowed to grieve? Tang Jing continued to sit on his chair lamenting the death of his son in silence .

Someone then knocked on his door . "Sir, they have arrived . " Tang Jing sighed as he answered, "bring them in . "

Hearing the approval of the master, five men entered the room . They entered in a marching formation . When they stood face to face with Tang Jing they saluted him .

"At ease soldiers . " Upon hearing Tang Jing’s command the five soldiers went into their at ease position, which was basically standing straight with their hands behind their back .

"You five are the best of the best among my men . You each have the abilities and the strength of a true soldier . I have called you five here today, to give you a mission . This mission will be the hardest, most dangerous mission that you will ever receive in this lifetime . "

Tang Jing walked back and forth while looking at the five soldiers faces, there was no fear, only eagerness to serve their general .

"Have you five heard of this verse before?

Run, run, run, cause here he comes .

Run, run, run, for the monster comes .

A Swish of his blade and your head begone

With the shot of his gun, you’re all but done .

So have any of you heard of this verse before? It’s alright you can answer me informally . " When they heard their general say so, one of the men stepped forward and answered .

"Sir that verse is was made to describe the monster of Berdonia . . . Lyner . All soldiers and mercenaries back in the battlefield tell this verse to the newbies . They used this verse to frighten the newcomers so that they’ll keep their awareness up . "

"Very good soldier that is indeed correct, but what do you five know about the man who the verse was talking about? What do you five know about Lyner?"

When the five heard the new question of their general, another one of them stepped forward to answer .

"Lyner last name unknown, even his age is unknown . The time he first started out as a mercenary is unknown . All data about him seem to be nonexistent . The people that supposedly know more about him are either dead, or are now insane . The only thing we do know about him at this point, is that he is Berdonian and that he is one of the three living SS rank mercenary . His nickname was ’the monster of the battlefield . ’ That’s all we the information we have on him . " After giving out his answer the soldier went back in line with the other five .

"Everything you say is correct, there is nothing much we know about him . Still there is one piece of information you must know, before I tell you what the mission is . Lyner killed my son . . . " When Tang Jing said those last words their was extreme hatred that you could feel surrounding him .

"So now that you know that, I will brief you on your mission . I want the five of you to go to Berdonia specifically the city were Lyner lives and-"

The five soldier continued listening to their general’s orders, mentally preparing themselves for what’s to come .

. . .

In a manmade underground cave, Michel and Carlo were sitting in front of a campfire . While Dan and Ryu were out scouting the area .

It has been two days since they got into enemy territory and what they saw was unexpected . The enemy base was located near the border limit of Berdonia . The base was a huge fortress with an army defending it . Making Infiltrating the place harder than expected .

So now Carlo, Michel, Dan, and Ryu needed to reformulate the plan . They needed to scout the area first, learn how many enemy forces there were, and other important information, and so for the past two days, all they’ve been doing was recon .

Which led them to make a hidden base within enemy territory . Using Dan’s brute strength and Ryu’s abilities the four of them made this manmade underground cave .

So now in the present time, Carlo was deeply thinking about something and out of nowhere spoke to Michel .

"Hey Mich, how about we get married?" Michel who heard Carlo’s sudden proposal had her eyes widened in shock .

"Huh? What? . . . What are you talking about? Are you kidding me? Why ask that now?" Michel in a state of confusion asked question after question .

"I’m not kidding . I really do want to marry you . " Seeing how serious Carlo was, Michel calmed down .

"Okay . . . I believe you, but why tell me that now?"

"Well I was thinking back to the time when we first met . I thought I would never get into a serious relationship . I also didn’t believe I would ever have kids, but look at me now . I have two kids and I don’t have a wife . I kinda did the order in reverse got kids first before getting a wife . Seeing as you are kinda my first love and all that, and I do still, kinda, you know, love you . I think it would be appropriate to ask you to be my wife . "

Hearing Carlo’s answer made Michel laugh . Carlo smiled awkwardly seeing Michel laugh so hard . When she was done laughing, Michel looked at Carlo stood up approached him and out of nowhere kissed him .

"Sure, Carlo Samarita . I will marry you, and be your wife . "

There in the most unromantic of places, using the most unromantic proposal, Carlo Samarita had gained a wife . Also unknown to Alex and Lilitth they had gained a mother .
