Chapter 265


    Alex and his group had easily reached safe house 11, seeing as the escape route Alex had made was actually directly heading there . It took the group three hours of continuous walking to reach the end of the tunnel .


    The moment they surfaced from the tunnel . What greeted them was a warehouse filled to brim with weapons . It turned out that the exit of the tunnel led to the weapon storage area of the safe house . This was made so that Alex could quickly get a weapon if someone was chasing him through the tunnels .


    . . .


    Once everyone had surface Alex proceeded to show the people with him around the safe house . He showed them where the food storage was located, where the rooms were, where the bathrooms were, and all the other things . He showed them how to operate the numerous defensive systems in the safe house . Out of all of Alex’s safe houses this one was the most secure, and the biggest . With the supplies inside this safe house, it could feed all the civilians for the whole month .


    The reason he was teaching this civilians theyout of his safe house was because Alex was nning to immediately head back and save the others in Lyner’s safe room . With that in mind Alex started to gear up, for the operation .


    "Where do you think you’re going?" Dan suddenly entered the weapons storage room .


    "I’m going back to save Rachel and the others . " Alex answered with his usual indifference as he continued gearing up .


    "Without me? You do remember I’m the one who has the key? What’s happening to you Alex, you’re not one to make this kind of mistake . " Niel also appeared behind Dan . Alex hearing Niel’s question didn’t answer instead he showed the key he took .


    "Huh, how? When did you get that?" Seeing the key in Alex’s possession, Niel checked if he still had the key, but it was nowhere to be found in his person .


    "I took it from you, the moment we exited the tunnels . You might be growing stronger really fast, but you still aren’t in my level yet . "


    "It doesn’t matter brat, this kid and I will being with you . " Dan told Alex while pointing at Niel .


    "It would be better if only I try and save them . A bigger group will attract more attention, and Instructor Dan isn’t really the stealthy kind . As for you Niel, you aren’t good enough yet, to join me for this kind of mission . " Alex with his usual indifferent tone of voice exined his reasoning of not wanting to bring the two on this venture .


    "The f*ck I don’t care about that! I can’t allow you to go alone as you save my family . If they aren’t save by this two hands of mine, then my anxiety won’t disappear . " Dan angrily replied while smashing his two fist together, which resulted in a booming sound .


    "He is right Alex, please allow us to apany you . I also want to be there, tofort my family . " Alex who had finally unsealed most of his emotions, could now understand what the two were going through . If it was before Alex would always pick the most efficient route to achieve his goals, but now he couldn’t just do that .


    ’Still, it would be good to be bring Instructor Dan with me, just in case we need to mow down arge amount of enemy soldiers . As for Niel, he could serve as the scout . ’


    Alex started to assess the situation and tried to convince himself that it would be alright to bring the two .


    "What are you thinking about you brat! It doesn’t matter what you think, I’m going no matter what you say . How can I hand my daughter to a wishy-washy person such as you . . . What the hell am I thinking! I will never hand over my daughter to anyone! That reminds me you actually kissed my daughter you b*stard!"


    Dan who was speaking about different things randomly, suddenly concluded in remembering that Alex and Rachel kissed . Upon remembering this, Dan attacked Alex who nimbly evaded .


    "First off, Instructor Dan, It’s not your ce to decide who your daughter dates . Second you talk as if she’s an object to keep, she’s a living breathing person, she can decided what to do by herself . Lastly I didn’t kiss her, it was the other way around . "


    Alex started exining his side while dodging Dan’s attacks . It was at that moment, Alex and the others suddenly felt their bodies shiver . Dan finally stopped attacking and looked at the other two with him . Both Alex and Niel were exhibiting the same reaction of trembling .


    When the three of them felt this, Niel took some weapons before the three of them headed out . When they passed by the civilians, all of them were huddled into one corner hugging each other . They didn’t understand what was happening, but they felt true terror at this very moment .


    They felt fear that surpassed the fear of death itself . It was a weird scene to see as they each triedforted each other, but were unable to convince themselves that it would be alright .


    . . .


    Alex, Niel, and Dan got out of the safe house, and there on the street under a street light stood an old man with grey hair and a wrinkly face . He wore a uniform simr to the people from the Shadow Mercenaries, but his was more grand in overall look . He was also wearing a coat that seem to be hiding multiple weapons .


    Alex and the others knew that this overwhelming pressure that creates fear came from the old man . This pressure was on a simr level as when Lyner gets serious . The old man looked at the three that came out of the safe house . His eyes thennded upon Alex who he thoroughly appraised .


    Alex who felt something was wrong, calmed himself and tried to analyze every movement the old man made . Niel who wasn’t as trained as the two beside him, unconsciously pointed his gun at the old man .


    Seeing Niel pull out his gun, the old man silently walked forward . Step by step the old man walked towards Niel . Alex and Dan who saw this wanted to move, they knew that they needed to move, but instead they just kept on looking at the old man silentlying near them .


    Dan went into FULL RELEASE, the muscles in his body be leaner, and his overall look bes younger, still even in this state he couldn’t recklessly move . He instinctively knew that the enemy before him was even more dangerous than a tank .


    The old man finally arrived in front of Niel and took hold of Niel’s gun . After which he dismantled the gun, which he had done in a blink of an eye . Once he was done doing that he started to look at Niel from head to toe .


    "Very nice, has a lot of potential . His physique and stance tells me he just recently found a good teacher, and has started training forbat just a few months ago . His overall potential is astonishing, a very good piece . The boy is currently not in a state that would be able to be of any use in an actual battle, but after a few more years, or maybe a few months he will be battle effective . Overall assessment twenty-nine out of a hundred, but if you included his future potential, I guess it would be a ny-two out of a hundred . "


    After saying his evaluation of Niel, the old man moved onto Dan . He checked Dan from head to toe as well . Dan who was now face to face with the old man wanted to punch him, but for some reason his body was unresponsive . He was like a mouse being stared down by a lion .


    "Pretty old now, around his mid forties . . . This one’s overall strength has surpassed the meaning of what it means to be human . He is even using a strange technique that makes use of his muscles in a hundred percent efficiency . Based on the structure of his hands, this man hasn’t been able to hold a gun, or any sort of weapon, he treats his body as the weapon itself, which limits his overall fighting power . This man is more beast than human . Overall assessment sixty-eight out of a hundred, he would have been a ny if he knew how to use weapons . "


    Once he gave his assessment of Dan the old man moved onto the final person . Staring at Alex for a good long while, he thoroughly checked Alex’s body more so than the other two .


    "A body forge like steel, your stance is the same as the mid forties man . Yet unlike the man before, you could use more than one weapon . . . Thousands of techniques and knowledge seem be crammed into your body . . . The cool look you are giving me as you assess the situation, waiting for your chance to bite my neck is very good indeed . You have grown very nicely my boy . You look exactly like me when I was younger . "


    Alex was confused as to what the old man was saying, it was like he knew him from way before .


    "Who are you?" Alex who was silent all this time, felt the pressure lighten so he was able to ask that question .


    "Oh, have you forgotten who I am? Have you decided to wipe me out of your memory? Well I guess for a young one such as yourself I understand why you did so . Very well I will once again introduce myself to you . I am Richter Greyhound, the grandfather of Dalvir Greyhound who is now known as Alexander Samarita . In short I am your grandfather . "
