Adopted Soldier

Chapter 356

Alex who just had a fight with his other grandfather was once again put to sleep . When he woke up the first thing he noticed was that he was in one of the training rooms, and right in front of him where three people that he hasn’t seen in a while .

It was Oliver, Niel, and Kei, the three of them was looking at Alex with conflicted feelings . It was at that moment Alex knew that his sh*tty grandfather said something to them . When he saw that none of the girls were present he knew that Richter gave them the same conditions as him .

"It’s been some time guys . Even though we’re in such a situation I still think it’s nice to see you guys again . "

Alex looked at his friends with a refreshing smile on his face . The three guys who saw Alex was shocked to see him smile like that . It was an amazing sight to see, the ever stoic Alex was actually smiling so naturally, it was a smile that could even match Niel’s .

"Alex, are you smiling? You are, you’re actually smiling! Hey, guys, you see that Alex is actually smiling . " Oliver got a bit excited as he pointed at Alex . Niel was also surprised but he had a more calm expression . It was only Kei who had a grim expression on .

"Why are you guys acting this way! You do know what we are about to do, right?!" The other three looked at each other then smiled at Kei .

"It’s alright Kei, we’re all friends here no matter the circumstance," Niel spoke in a calming tone, coupled with his confident smile and the charisma he was known for, Kei was able to immediately calm down .

" . . . Sorry about that . . . I guess I really ain’t able to fully become part of your group . " Kei looked downward a bit disappointed by his outburst .

"What are you saying Kei, of course, you’re part of our group . As the president of the Mercenary Club, I assure you Kei, you are a part of our group . " Hearing what Oliver said, made Kei smile wryly .

While the group was talking in a very happy atmosphere, Alex who was smiling moments ago returned to his stoic look and spoke .

"So what did you guys decide to do?" When Niel heard Alex’s question he could not show the same sparkly smile he used to show as he answered in a solemn voice .

"The same answer you have . "

"I see . . . How about you Oliver, Kei, did you reach the same conclusion?" Alex saw Oliver clenched his fist, as the veins in his muscles look like they were going to pop .

"I’m sorry Alex . . . I need to do this . . . I just can’t let her die . " Oliver started to cry as he looked at his best friend .

"I understand Oliver . . . Kei?"

" . . . " Kei didn’t say anything but he started crying as well .

While Alex was speaking to them, he positioned himself so the cameras won’t be able to see his lips moving . In between his sentences he was speaking to the others using nothing but lip movement . Alex believed that with his friends’ capabilities they would be able to discern what he wanted to say .

’Oliver, Niel, Kei, if you are able to understand me, I want you to act natural . I have a plan and I want you guys to trust me . ’

Alex saw Oliver and Niel respond by blinking their eyes . This was a morse code that they invented when Oliver, suggested they needed a way to communicate if ever one of them was taken, hostage . Kei was in a position that the cameras would be able to get a good look of his face, making him unable to respond . Still, Alex knew that Kei was onboard . There wasn’t actual confirmation but he knew that his friends would be able to do pull this off .

Once they were done talking a screen came down from the ceiling . On the screen was the face of the group’s most hated enemy, Richter .

"It seems like everyone is ready, so how about we get this party started! Also just so you guys don’t forget what’s on the line, here’s a reminder . " The image shifted and showed Rachel, Emily, Sayaka, and Evangeline who were bound and gagged .

"If you guys don’t start killing each other, I might accidentally kill one of them . " Richter got close to Sayaka and pointed a gun to her head . When Oliver saw this he gritted his teeth in anger, it was then he saw the others blinking sending them a message . While Richter was distracted with Sayaka and looking at Alex and the others through the screen . Emily was blinking, using the mercenary club’s very own morse code .

’We know about the plan, Rachel already filled us in . I hope you guys don’t mess it up . ’ When Kei and the others saw Emily do this, they didn’t show it on their faces but they were smiling on the inside . Oliver started attacking Alex, with a look of anger and sadness . He needed to do this much acting, to be able to trick someone like Richter . Oliver and the others could probably win the award for best actor, with the act they were showing right now .

He and the others needed to make it look real . No the reason it looked real was because they were really trying to kill Alex at this very moment .

A while ago, while Alex was talking to them via lip reading, he told them that they can go all out . Also, they don’t need to fear accidentally killing them, cause no matter what they do they won’t be able to match up to him anyway .

Of course, this irritated both Oliver and Niel who a bit of difficulty holding it in .

. . .

Richter who was confused at the start, since the way the boys were acting at the middle of their conversation was a bit abnormal . Yet seeing how hard the boys were fighting, Richter’s suspicions have lessened, but they were still there . So this time Richter was watching the fight ever so closely .
