Adopted Soldier

Chapter 301

Alex who was chasing after his grandfather took out another pistol from his waist . Now he was holding two handguns on both hands . Alex continued shooting at his grandfather who evaded by running towards a corner of the hallway . Seeing that Alex replaced the bullets with his specialized rubber bullets, and started shooting at the walls . The bullets Alex shot ricochet off the walls and bounced towards the corner Richter ran towards .

Once Alex turned towards that corner, he couldn’t spot his grandfather . Alex then felt danger coming and leapt forward, seconds later he heard gunshots . Alex looked behind and saw his grandfather hiding above .

Richter who had failed his surprise attack jumped down from his hiding spot . The moment Richter landed Alex was already inches away from him . Alex’s gun that was on his left hand was now pointing at Richter’s face, while the gun on his right hand was pointing at Richter’s heart .

Richter swayed his head to evade the bullet aimed at it, while he didn’t evade the bullet that would pierce his heart . As Alex expected the bullet couldn’t penetrate the armor like clothes of his grandfather . Yet if one shot didn’t work then all he needed to do was hit it more times . Richter on the other hand was about to get one of the weapons hidden in his coat but Alex was able to anticipate this and shot Richter’s hand that was reaching for the gun .

Alex then started to shoot at Richter in close quarters . Richter countered by pushing one of Alex’s hands to the side, and using that opening tried to get a weapon within that interval . Yet Alex’s flow wasn’t disturbed by that move as he spun his body to use the force of the push to his advantage and delivered a kick to his grandfather . The incoming kick stopped Richter from reaching his gun and was forced to block using both his hands .

Richter who was able to catch Alex’s leg flung it upward, making Alex lose balance as he was now in a mid-air somersault . Now with this opening Richter was finally able to get a gun out . He then started to shoot at the defenseless Alex . Seeing that Richter was about to shoot, Alex knew he couldn’t evade mid-air, so instead Alex matched the timing of Richter’s shot and shot his own bullet . The two bullets collided mid-air and were forced to change trajectory .

Seeing that stunned Richter for a moment, and then he smiled . The better his grandson was, the better it was for the Greyhound legacy . Alex then landed on the ground, seeing that Ricther tried to distance himself from Alex, but Alex wouldn’t allow that as he continued to stick close to Richter .

The two began a melee with their guns . Most of the shots were evaded the other attacks were deflected by hitting bullets with their own bullets . Sometimes Richter would simply take a hit, since he was able to regenerate the damage using the nanomachines injected into him .

Alex knew that this was really not enough to kill the b*stard . He knew the only real way to finish the enemy off would be destroying Richter’s brain, but it might also be possible if he destroys Richter’s heart . Still that proved to be quite difficult since those were the only things that Richter was truly defending .

. . .

The attacks of the two were going so fast, that the human eye couldn’t keep up anymore . Even in that kind of speed, Richter suddenly shifted gears and gotten faster, Alex also followed suit . The warm-ups were finally over, now it was time for the real thing .

Alex and Richter’s killing intents were overflowing and made the whole atmosphere heavy . The two finally broke off from the melee and distanced themselves from each other . The gun on Alex’s right hand was busted so he threw it away, and got his sword out instead .

Richter on the other hand removed his coat, and all the weapons he was carrying made a loud thud sound when they hit the floor . Richter then picked up two combat knives and took a stance . Once the two were ready they once again began to attack each other .

. . . .

The clash of steel with steel was intense, while the sound of gunfire was now fewer than before . The two of them seem to be equal, but in truth Alex was in a huge disadvantage . The only targets he could try and hit were the head and the chest, but no matter what he just couldn’t hit those .

Also Alex had an irritating feeling that his grandfather was actually holding back on him . Even though currently it doesn’t look that way, but Alex couldn’t help but think otherwise . Still he had no choice but to attack .

After a few more rounds Alex was surprised to see that his sword actually pierced through Richter’s heart . Once he pulled out his sword, Alex was still stunned as he saw the blood gushing out of Richter .

’Did that do it? Have I won?’ When Alex thought of this, another unexpected thing happened . The wound that pierced right through Richter’s heart healed as if nothing happened . Alex was sure that even Lilitth who had exceptional regenerative abilities wouldn’t survive that . Yet here stood a person that could . Seeing Alex’s stunned expression Richter sighed a bit disappointed .

"Have you forgotten what I said before? The only way to kill me is if you’re able to make my brain stop functioning . Every other wound aside from an attack to my brain will not last . "

As Richter was explaining this, Alex found an opening . He knew that his sh*tty grandfather would show an opening when he starts explaining things . That’s why he showed a surprised expression to lure Richter into talking . Alex then charged forward with a speed that couldn’t be considered possible with the human body .

Caught off guard Richter was pinned onto the ground, as Alex pointed his gun at Richter’s head . The gun was now pointblank range from Richter’s head, but even in the face of eminent death Richter’s expression remained calm .

Alex who was about to pull the trigger actually hesitated for a moment . Even though this bast*rd was evil, in the end he was the only living biological relative Alex had left .

"What is this are you hesitating? A greyhound that hesitates shouldn’t exist . "

The moment Alex heard this he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger, but nothing happened . Alex who looked stoic on the outside was actually burning with rage in the inside, and due to his rage he wasn’t able to notice that he had no more bullets left in the chamber . Alex then heard a sigh before he lost consciousness .

Richter stood up before once again sighing as he picked up his grandson’s unconscious body .

’How disappointing, even though he looked calm, he let rage fill him . He wasn’t able to think properly and even made the foolish mistake of not counting his shots . Though his overall performance was indeed better than a year ago . The only things he lacks now, is a Greyhounds true killer instinct . He lacks the calm cruelty a Greyhound needs to finish its prey . Well I can easily fix that problem once his friends come here . . . It is also possible if I just use that prototype brainwashing machine Phil and Marge left behind . . . Hmmm . . . I guess I’ll reserve that move as a final option . ’

After concluding his own thoughts, Richter carried his grandson back to his isolated room .
