Adopted Soldier

Chapter 349

Alex looked at Rachel who was struggling to get free from Richter’s grip . It would seem that the old man had done something to her . Even though he was strong, Alex could see that Rachel was unable to exert much strength . He knew that this crazy grandfather of his was serious, if he doesn’t answer now he will really snap Rachel’s neck . If only Alex had a gun at hand, he would be able to shoot Richter’s hands, forcing him to let go of Rachel .

"So what are you going to do Alex? Will you kill your friends, with your own hands and spare this girl’s life, or will I just kill them all?" Richter asked while tightening his grip on Rachel . Alex seeing Rachel in pain felt that he was also in pain . It was as if Richter was tightening his grip on Alex’s heart . It was at that moment Alex decided something as he started to calm down, and his overall look when back to his stoic look . He stood up and looked at his grandfather, the atmosphere changed as Richter felt a weird coldness envelope his body .

"Oh, are you going to fight me here and now?" Richter couldn’t help but smile at what he was seeing . Alex was finally going back to the right path . The emotionless eyes that showed that he had given up, was now showing a different light . Alex overall countenance felt like a blade that could cut everything in its path .

Richter readied himself for what’s to come next, he was excited at what his grandson would do in this kind of situation . If Alex was able to kill him at this moment, then that would be great, his death would not hinder his plans . Since Richter already prepared a few plans that would initiate upon his death . These plans will force Alex to have no choice but to fulfill the wish of the Greyhounds to destroy the Granado Empire .

Richter didn’t care about if he dies since he too was a failure of a Greyhound . He just wanted to see Alex become the perfect Greyhound before death . As long as he was sure that Alex was going to destroy the Empire, dying was of no consequence .

. . .

Alex who was quiet all this time suddenly went into his full RELEASE state and bit his index finger at full force, he tore his index finger off his left hand . Blood started gushing out of the wound yet that didn’t faze Alex, but it did surprise both Rachel and Richter .

Using the strength of his full RELEASE state Alex threw the finger at Richter’s hand that was holding Rachel . The speed and strength of the throw cut through the air . Richter who wasn’t expecting Alex to do something like that was unable to dodge . The finger hit his forearm and actually penetrated deeply making him loosen his grip on Rachel, who was now able to free herself . Once Rachel was free she tried to run away from Richter but wasn’t able to go that far, Alex on the other hand, dashed forward taking this once in a lifetime opportunity to initiate a surprise attack on Richter .

Rachel wanted to help as well, but for some reason, she couldn’t gather strength in her body . She could only look on as Alex faced the monster known as Richter .

Alex with the speed that made him look like a bullet flying through the air, felt his muscles were screaming in pain . Yet even with that, he mustered up all the strength, all the anger he had, and placed it into this one attack .

The floor that was reinforced with different materials that could withstand a bombardment from tanks actually cracked into a something shaped like a spider web . Alex with all the power he had, punched . The speed of his fist actually made a sonic boom sound as the pressure tore his flesh . Even through the pain, Alex didn’t stop as his attack which was aimed at his grandfather’s head, that he wanted to smash into pieces . At that moment everything seemed to slow down as something deep within Alex got out, making his body felt lighter, it was as if he was chained down by something invisible but now it was no longer there .

It was an awe-inspiring sight as Alex finally broke through the shackles of human limitations . This was the birth of a new legend . Richter who received Alex’s full-on strike knew immediately that his grandson was able to go even further . Even though both his arms were broken, his ribs were also shattered by the simple wind pressure of that strike and were still being fixed by the nanomachines, Richter couldn’t help but smile delightedly at Alex .

’It’s so near, it’s finally within his grasp, just a bit more and he will be perfect . ’ While Richter was getting delighted at his grandson’s improvement, he saw the second attack coming which was once again aimed for his head . He could no longer block so he needed to evade no matter what . Richter at the last second was able to evade by a hairsbreadth but the wind pressure was still able to cut a bit of his skin .

Yet that didn’t matter since the nanomachines were finally able to fix his arms . He was now ready to play with his grandson, but as he waited for the third attack to come, nothing happened . He then saw his grandson on the floor sleeping . It would seem that going beyond his limits and finally casting off the shackles of human limitations, coupled with the stress he was having made him faint from fatigue .

Rachel who saw what happened tried her best to move towards Alex and covered him using her own body as a shield . Even though she couldn’t move her body properly she could still somehow block one attack from Richter .

The old man who was so excited moments ago, sighed as he saw the scene before him . A proud Greyhound being protected by a little girl . Richter shook his head and decided to forgive Alex for this since he was able to get so near to the perfect Greyhound Richter always wished to see .

He looked at Rachel who was hugging Alex and spoke with a kind smile on his face .

"Don’t worry I won’t hurt my grandson, you can stay here with him . Once he wakes up, tell him that he will need to decide . If he doesn’t make a decision, I will no longer indulge his selfishness and will use stricter methods . "

Richter then pulled out Alex’s index finger that was pierced into his forearm . He went closer to Alex, but then Rachel stood up with wobbly legs and blocked Richter’s path .

"Don’t worry little girl, like I said I won’t hurt my grandson . I’m just going to stop the bleeding and reattach the finger he lost . "

Rachel looked at Richter warily, she knew that Richter didn’t need to lie to her, since if he really wanted to, Alex would’ve already died right now . So with great reluctance, Rachel stepped aside and allowed Richter to pass .

Richter who was now in front of the sleeping Alex cleaned the bleeding hand and then placed the index finger to where it used to be . He then took out something from his pocket and sprayed it on Alex’s detached finger, after a few seconds the finger reattached itself . Rachel who was watching at the side was amazed to see that there were no signs that it was cut off .

Richter then stood up and once again looked at Rachel .

"Don’t forget to tell him what I said . " Once Richter was done talking he left the room leaving behind the confused Rachel .
