Adopted Soldier

Chapter 265

Alex and his group had easily reached safe house 11, seeing as the escape route Alex had made was actually directly heading there . It took the group three hours of continuous walking to reach the end of the tunnel .

The moment they surfaced from the tunnel . What greeted them was a warehouse filled to brim with weapons . It turned out that the exit of the tunnel led to the weapon storage area of the safe house . This was made so that Alex could quickly get a weapon if someone was chasing him through the tunnels .

. . .

Once everyone had surface Alex proceeded to show the people with him around the safe house . He showed them where the food storage was located, where the rooms were, where the bathrooms were, and all the other things . He showed them how to operate the numerous defensive systems in the safe house . Out of all of Alex’s safe houses this one was the most secure, and the biggest . With the supplies inside this safe house, it could feed all the civilians for the whole month .

The reason he was teaching this civilians the layout of his safe house was because Alex was planning to immediately head back and save the others in Lyner’s safe room . With that in mind Alex started to gear up, for the operation .

"Where do you think you’re going?" Dan suddenly entered the weapons storage room .

"I’m going back to save Rachel and the others . " Alex answered with his usual indifference as he continued gearing up .

"Without me? You do remember I’m the one who has the key? What’s happening to you Alex, you’re not one to make this kind of mistake . " Niel also appeared behind Dan . Alex hearing Niel’s question didn’t answer instead he showed the key he took .

"Huh, how? When did you get that?" Seeing the key in Alex’s possession, Niel checked if he still had the key, but it was nowhere to be found in his person .

"I took it from you, the moment we exited the tunnels . You might be growing stronger really fast, but you still aren’t in my level yet . "

"It doesn’t matter brat, this kid and I will be coming with you . " Dan told Alex while pointing at Niel .

"It would be better if only I try and save them . A bigger group will attract more attention, and Instructor Dan isn’t really the stealthy kind . As for you Niel, you aren’t good enough yet, to join me for this kind of mission . " Alex with his usual indifferent tone of voice explained his reasoning of not wanting to bring the two on this venture .

"The f*ck I don’t care about that! I can’t allow you to go alone as you save my family . If they aren’t save by this two hands of mine, then my anxiety won’t disappear . " Dan angrily replied while smashing his two fist together, which resulted in a booming sound .

"He is right Alex, please allow us to accompany you . I also want to be there, to comfort my family . " Alex who had finally unsealed most of his emotions, could now understand what the two were going through . If it was before Alex would always pick the most efficient route to achieve his goals, but now he couldn’t just do that .

’Still, it would be good to be bring Instructor Dan with me, just in case we need to mow down a large amount of enemy soldiers . As for Niel, he could serve as the scout . ’

Alex started to assess the situation and tried to convince himself that it would be alright to bring the two .

"What are you thinking about you brat! It doesn’t matter what you think, I’m going no matter what you say . How can I hand my daughter to a wishy-washy person such as you . . . What the hell am I thinking! I will never hand over my daughter to anyone! That reminds me you actually kissed my daughter you b*stard!"

Dan who was speaking about different things randomly, suddenly concluded in remembering that Alex and Rachel kissed . Upon remembering this, Dan attacked Alex who nimbly evaded .

"First off, Instructor Dan, It’s not your place to decide who your daughter dates . Second you talk as if she’s an object to keep, she’s a living breathing person, she can decided what to do by herself . Lastly I didn’t kiss her, it was the other way around . "

Alex started explaining his side while dodging Dan’s attacks . It was at that moment, Alex and the others suddenly felt their bodies shiver . Dan finally stopped attacking and looked at the other two with him . Both Alex and Niel were exhibiting the same reaction of trembling .

When the three of them felt this, Niel took some weapons before the three of them headed out . When they passed by the civilians, all of them were huddled into one corner hugging each other . They didn’t understand what was happening, but they felt true terror at this very moment .

They felt fear that surpassed the fear of death itself . It was a weird scene to see as they each tried comforted each other, but were unable to convince themselves that it would be alright .

. . .

Alex, Niel, and Dan got out of the safe house, and there on the street under a street light stood an old man with grey hair and a wrinkly face . He wore a uniform similar to the people from the Shadow Mercenaries, but his was more grand in overall look . He was also wearing a coat that seem to be hiding multiple weapons .

Alex and the others knew that this overwhelming pressure that creates fear came from the old man . This pressure was on a similar level as when Lyner gets serious . The old man looked at the three that came out of the safe house . His eyes then landed upon Alex who he thoroughly appraised .

Alex who felt something was wrong, calmed himself and tried to analyze every movement the old man made . Niel who wasn’t as trained as the two beside him, unconsciously pointed his gun at the old man .

Seeing Niel pull out his gun, the old man silently walked forward . Step by step the old man walked towards Niel . Alex and Dan who saw this wanted to move, they knew that they needed to move, but instead they just kept on looking at the old man silently coming near them .

Dan went into FULL RELEASE, the muscles in his body become leaner, and his overall look becomes younger, still even in this state he couldn’t recklessly move . He instinctively knew that the enemy before him was even more dangerous than a tank .

The old man finally arrived in front of Niel and took hold of Niel’s gun . After which he dismantled the gun, which he had done in a blink of an eye . Once he was done doing that he started to look at Niel from head to toe .

"Very nice, has a lot of potential . His physique and stance tells me he just recently found a good teacher, and has started training for combat just a few months ago . His overall potential is astonishing, a very good piece . The boy is currently not in a state that would be able to be of any use in an actual battle, but after a few more years, or maybe a few months he will be battle effective . Overall assessment twenty-nine out of a hundred, but if you included his future potential, I guess it would be a ninety-two out of a hundred . "

After saying his evaluation of Niel, the old man moved onto Dan . He checked Dan from head to toe as well . Dan who was now face to face with the old man wanted to punch him, but for some reason his body was unresponsive . He was like a mouse being stared down by a lion .

"Pretty old now, around his mid forties . . . This one’s overall strength has surpassed the meaning of what it means to be human . He is even using a strange technique that makes use of his muscles in a hundred percent efficiency . Based on the structure of his hands, this man hasn’t been able to hold a gun, or any sort of weapon, he treats his body as the weapon itself, which limits his overall fighting power . This man is more beast than human . Overall assessment sixty-eight out of a hundred, he would have been a ninety if he knew how to use weapons . "

Once he gave his assessment of Dan the old man moved onto the final person . Staring at Alex for a good long while, he thoroughly checked Alex’s body more so than the other two .

"A body forge like steel, your stance is the same as the mid forties man . Yet unlike the man before, you could use more than one weapon . . . Thousands of techniques and knowledge seem be crammed into your body . . . The cool look you are giving me as you assess the situation, waiting for your chance to bite my neck is very good indeed . You have grown very nicely my boy . You look exactly like me when I was younger . "

Alex was confused as to what the old man was saying, it was like he knew him from way before .

"Who are you?" Alex who was silent all this time, felt the pressure lighten so he was able to ask that question .

"Oh, have you forgotten who I am? Have you decided to wipe me out of your memory? Well I guess for a young one such as yourself I understand why you did so . Very well I will once again introduce myself to you . I am Richter Greyhound, the grandfather of Dalvir Greyhound who is now known as Alexander Samarita . In short I am your grandfather . "
