Adopted Soldier

Chapter 283

Once Alex was done with the other tests, he was once again put to sleep and placed inside this little room . Yet this time he was able to wake up earlier than usual . This meant that the sleeping gas that they were using on him was becoming less and less effective . Alex didn’t really bother being excited by this revelation since they might have already noticed this, and was probably going to use something stronger the next time .

Alex who was now fully awake felt a bit tired this time around . The tests seem never ending, as they kept on coming . Doing this for what seem to be nearing a year now was finally taking a toll on Alex . He doesn’t know how many months he has been inside this prison of a base, and it was actually making him frightened .

The psychological damage the previous tests have given him, was no slowly encroaching his mind and soul . Having no knowledge what date it was or how long he has been in captivity wasn’t helping either .

’Will I really be able to escape? . . . I’ve waited and waited but the chance has I needed never came . . . Is it really possible to outwit that monster of an old man?’

When Alex had these thoughts his body started to tremble a bit . A very new kind of emotion was assailing him . This was an emotion that he had never felt before, even before he sealed his memories .

’What is this? What is this feeling? My heart is beating rapidly, my chest is tightening . I’m even sweating a lot, breathing is getting difficult, I’m also feeling a bit cold, which could be the reason for my body’s trembling . What is this? Was I attacked by some biological weapon? Is this another test?’

"Hey you f*cking old man! What the hell have you done!" Alex couldn’t take it anymore and started shouting at the camera placed inside the room .

"Is this another test?! Answer me! I know you’re watching this! I know you can hear me! Answer me, you f*cking batsh*t crazy old man!"

Alex kept on screaming, but no one answered . Still after shouting those things he felt a bit better, but only a bit . This situation confused Alex, as he didn’t know what was happening . He stayed quiet and sat down, as he contemplated as to what was actually happening . He went deep into the knowledge he has, and tried to pinpoint the phenomena that was happening to his body .

. . .

Richter was as usual watching Alex, and knew what was happening to his talented grandson . He was actual gaining a sense of fear . Richter decided not to say anything believing that this dilemma would only serve to make Alex even stronger than before . Seeing as there was a difference between becoming unfeeling and overcoming that feeling with your own will .

. . .

Alex sat silently as he recounted the symptoms he was having . His current symptoms could be the result of a number of diseases, but none of those fit his current circumstances . It was then Alex figured out that he was looking at it in the wrong direction .

"Am I actually scared? . . . " When Alex got to this point in his though process, he figured that this was the right answer . He, Alexander Samarita, the silent flash was actually scared . Even back when he was a kid, he was never scared . Even when his parents were murdered before his very eyes he wasn’t scared, he was more angry than scared at that time . He had faced Death numerous times, and he was never scared . Yet what was different now than before .

Alex quickly got the answer he was looking for . He had more reasons to live now, and he had more promises to keep . When he got to this answer he was suddenly assaulted by even more fear . He started to fear the future where he could never fulfill his promises . He started to fear for the safety of his loved ones .

Alex with this newfound feeling sat there helplessly . Was there really a chance for survival? Will he really be able to escape? These questions circled around Alex’s mind as he grew even more scared .

. . .

Richter who was watching Alex through the monitor, had a sudden thought that his grandson was going to do something stupid, and that it will ultimately disappoint him .

’Can’t even overcome such a tiny fear . If he starts to beg and cry, then that would mean he hasn’t really improved much from the time he was a little boy . Such a grandson is unneeded, if he does do that, then I’ll just stop treating him as my grandson, and instead treat him like a stud to make me the new generation of Greyhounds . ’

As Richter was thinking about what to do next, he noticed Alex was looking directly at the camera . Seeing this made Richter sigh in disappointment .

’So he really gave up, after such minor trivialities . What did I expect from a failure . I had hope that he just wasn’t old enough that’s the reason for his weakness . Yet now he still remained a failure, how disheartening . ’

Richter didn’t really care about how Alex did great in all the tests he has given him . All Richter saw was that if Alex failed here then everything else he did was meaningless . One failure was enough for him to feel that his grandson that he kept on praising for the past few months was nothing more than a failure .

Alex started looking at the camera and with renewed determination he shouted at his grandfather who was listening in .

"You crazy sh*tty old man! Whatever tests you give me, I’ll finish it and I’ll show you how superior I am to you . I’ll prove to you that you’re the failure not me! And once I get the chance, if you show even a tiny opening, I’ll bite you to death . Remember that old man, you better be ready since the moment you make even the slightest mistake I’ll devour you!"

Alex started to threaten his grandfather, he did this to empower himself . He did this to make the fear he was feeling go away . Getting afraid won’t solve anything, being afraid of death and failure was normal, but giving up because of that fear was unacceptable .

. . .

Richter who heard his grandson scream at him, was showing a very creepy smile . "That fool, he doesn’t have any respect for his elders . What kind of grandson threatens his grandfather? How can he even think about threatening me, while I’m in the superior position? I better discipline the boy better . "

Even though Richter was saying all of these, he was really happy deep inside .

’This is how a true Greyhound should act! Arrogant beyond belief, with the power to back it up . Calmly waiting for the chance to bite his opponent to death even in the most direst of situations . He even threatened me in such a situation, where I basically control his very fate . Truly a a fine descendant of the Greyhounds, able to overcome his fear, and turned it into aggression how delightful . ’

If someone else could hear Richter’s inner thoughts, they might think he has bipolar disorder . Still at the moment he was truly proud of his grandson overcoming his fears and turning it into a strength . He was now anticipating what kind of growth Alex will have from this point onward .
