Adopted Soldier

Chapter 379

Alex who was mourning his father’s death couldn’t help but remember all they have been through together . Since the first time they met, Carlo had not only been a father to him, but he was also his mentor and savior . Everything he is, it was because of Carlo . Alex wanted to repay Carlo for everything he has done for him, yet now that was impossible .

He wanted Carlo to retire quietly and he would manage everything for him . Yet now the debt he had, would never be repaid . Alex felt frustrated, he felt anger, and most of all he felt pain . Unlike Lyner and Richter who wanted to die, who sought after death like madmen, Carlo didn’t want that since he had a lot to live for . Yet in the end, he still died happily in front of him . He even showed a face that seemed content .

Alex couldn’t move from his spot looking a bit lifeless as he watched the last place he saw Carlo . Even as he was dying he kept on praising Alex and he even smiled at him at the end . It was as if Carlo was telling Alex for one last time that everything was going to be okay .

’Why did you do that? Between you or me, you should be the one to live! Will my siblings now become fatherless? How about mom you just married her?! . . . Why did this have to happen?! Damn it, how many times do I have to go through this! How many times will I fail!’

While Alex was wallowing in sorrow, an alarm was sounding off inside the base . The shutter doors were closing, but this didn’t bother Alex much since with his current strength breaking the shutter doors was relatively easy for him .

Still, now that Alex kept on hearing the alarm bells ringing, he felt a bit better for some reason . ’I can no longer change the past, grieving for dad’s death will come later . For now, I need to get return home with everyone . ’ Alex looked at the place where he last saw his dad and smiled as he whispered, "Dad that final mission you gave me, I’ll be sure to accomplish it . "

When Alex was about ready to leave, he heard something weird . He then looked behind him and saw Richter’s lifeless body started twitching . Alex was surprised to see this as he was sure that he had crushed Richter’s heart, and based on what he saw and understood, he felt that the nanomachines shouldn’t be able to grow an organ .

’Was destroying his brain really the only option? Damn it! I made a mistake because of my emotional state . ’

"You sh*tty grandfather why won’t you stay dead?!" Alex stood there waiting for what’s to come next .

Richter who was dead moments ago stood up, but for some reason, his eyes remained shut, and the way he was moving was weird . Alex saw that the hole he made in his body was still there but was slowly closing . Still that was enough time for him to see Richter still had no heart, if so then why was he still alive? The moment Alex asked himself that question he immediately gave himself an answer .

’The nanomachines are still working, and they’re controlling his body!’ Alex gritted his teeth as he picked up the sword he dropped . Alex took a stance and shouted at the dead body of his grandfather . "This time I’ll make sure you stay dead!"

. . .

While Alex was about to start the final round with his grandfather, Oliver and the others were having a bit of difficulty escaping the base as the shutter doors keep on closing on them . As they continued running Oliver saw a familiar face in the corner of his eyes .

The moment he saw that face without even thinking Oliver sprinted towards the area he saw the person, he ran while carrying Rachel . Sayaka and the others who saw Oliver’s reaction were startled but then they followed him from behind .

Rachel tried talking to Oliver asking him what happened to him, but Oliver didn’t respond as his rage was slowly building up . All he could think off right now was him killing that b*stard that had killed his parents, and even his foster parents .

. . .

Matthew and the rest have already finished off the majority of the agents that were sent outside to deal with them . It was a long battle against powerful enemies, and of course, Matthew couldn’t get out of it unscathed . He found the fight especially difficult when the person called Hektor appeared .

He couldn’t understand it but even though Hektor was powerful, Matthew felt that throughout the fight Hektor was holding back . Even as Hektor was dying it felt like Hektor never went all out, and there were also those incomprehensible words he said in the end .

"It doesn’t matter if I die, I am after all nothing more than a fake . . . Heheheh, in the end, I will always win . My revenge will finally come true . . . Are you watching Patricia!" As he screamed those final words Hektor died . Matthew was confused and didn’t know what to make of that, but it didn’t really matter to him since they won .

Matthew and the others went back to the position where they set up camp . When they arrived they were surprised to see a bloody Kyle . Even without eyes, Kyle’s senses were amazing as he heard the people approaching him, he took out one of his rifles and pointed it at the direction he heard the sounds .

"Kyle!" When Kyle heard the familiar voice of Sora, he sighed in relief .

"What happened to you?" Viktor came closer and started to look at Kyle’s condition .

"You know this and that, nothing much . Just fought a crazy lady that wanted my eyes and killed her . Unfortunately, she took my eyes, well I guess she can consider those a farewell gift . " Kyle said jokingly as he chuckled .

Leo who looked to be guarding Kyle’s body jumped towards Matthew . "Thanks, Leo for keeping an eye on him . " Matthew patted Leo’s head as he whispered thanks to his cat .

"Sorry Kyle, I don’t think you’ll be able to see again . . . She wrecked it pretty good in there, she really did pluck out your eyes . "

When everyone heard what Sora said, there was a long silence .

"It’s alright as long as I’m alive everything can be fixed . If I lost my eyesight then so be it, I have already accumulated enough wealth to live a life of luxury . . . When I get back I even plan to ask a girl I’m in love with to marry me . " Kyle despite his wounds, happily smiled as he thought of Sarah .

Hearing what Kyle said everyone happily congratulated him . Though the situation looked bleak, the others still found hope in this situation . This was the life of a mercenary, it was pretty normal .

"It’s going to be a grand wedding right," Luke spoke in excitement .

"Of course . Even if I won’t be able to see it I want it to be the most spectacular wedding ever . I even plan to ask Michel to design and make the wedding dress as well as the dresses and suits for everyone else . " Kyle happily responded .

"Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about! I can finally get a suit made by Michel . Even though I ask a hundred times she would never agree to make me a personal suit . " Sora couldn’t help but smile at the news .

Matthew who was watching at the sidelines was a bit confused, these people were in the middle of enemy territory, but they were still acting like they were talking inside a bar . After a while, Matthew simply sighed, ’I guess this is how real mercs act . ’
