Chapter 269


    Lyner was getting excited as he charged forward while weaving his hands . The wires scattered about surrounding Richter, cutting off all areas of escape . This was the move that had spell death for all of Lyner’s opponents . In the heat of the moment Lyner had even forgotten that Alex was being held by Richter . As he was about to tighten his grip making the wires close in on Richter, effectively squeezing him to death, Lyner heard Niel’s voice .


    "Sir Lyner!" Niel who was watching noticed that Lyner was about to make the killing move . It would seem that even Alex was going to get killed by this move . So Niel shouted at his overly excited teacher . Lyner who heard Niel shouting at him, was able to snap out of his battle trance and remembered that Richter was holding Alex . So in thest moments he shifted the positions of his wires . The wires that were suppose to squeeze Richter’s whole body was now simply going to wrap around Richter’s arms and legs .


    ’So it’s not only a handicap for Richter, Alex turned out to be a handicap for me as well . ’ Lyner licked his lips in delight, at the thought that he and Richter were actually having a somewhat fair fight .


    Seeing the wires enclosing in on him, Richter tried to cut them apart using hisbat knife, he even tried shooting at the wires, but those moves of his did nothing . Lyner’s wires were interlocked with one another making them thicker than normal . The wall of wires were imprable with the weapons Richter had in hand .


    Richter then sighed as he clicked on a switch for the mini explosives he threw at the beginning of the fight . When he threw Alex and his guns, Richter also threw some mini explosives as well . He used misdirection to fool the monster of Berdonia .


    Upon clicking the switch, the mini explosives started to light up, this alerted Lyner who then noticed that the mini explosives were near him and were about to explode .


    Lyner who was not expecting there to be explosives in that location had Lost concentration for a moment as he evaded the explosives, giving Richter a chance to escape from the wires that surrounded him .


    Lyner who had sessfully evaded the explosives, knew that Richter could have heavily wounded him if he waited for Lyner to move in closer . Yet he activated the explosives early most probably to escape from Lyner’s attack .


    That level of nning was beyond someone like Lyner who went about battle by instinct alone .


    This only made Lyner even more excited as he once again tried to surround Richter with his wires . Yet now that he was aware of that move, Richter started moving erratically and in a speed that was hard to follow with the naked eye .


    Richter then got near Lyner and was able to get behind him . He once again threw Alex’s body upwards so that he could attack properly . If it was anyone else that was being tossed around like this, they might have died but Alex’s body was stronger than most so his body could take the rough treatment .


    As Richter was about to attack Lyner in his blindspot, wires suddenly appeared before him . Richter could only back off as he saw this . He jumped backward and caught the thrown Alex .


    ’He uses his wires for both offense and defense . . . Wait a minute . . . Why am I trying to fight him anyway?’ Richter suddenly realized that he was drawn into Lyner’s pace . He wasn’t even suppose to be fighting the man, since he just needed to escape . He could deal with Lynerter, what’s more important now was to secure his grandson .


    Lyner who saw the old man stop moving, was confused as well . What was he nning? When Lyner thought of this question, Richter suddenly threw all his guns above Lyner’s head . Seeing this unexpected move, Lyner unconsciously reacted by surrounding the area within a meter of himself with wires .


    Richter knew that once he threw his guns, Lyner who fought by instinct would automatically react like that . Once Lyner was distracted Richter fled the scene with Alex in tow . As he was running Richter checked his watch and saw that there was only two minutes left before his subordinates arrive to pick him up .


    . . .


    Lyner who saw the fleeing Richter clicked his tongue and chased after the old man . The two superhumans started doing parkour as one fled and the other chased . While Lyner was chasing Richter, the old man ced explosives on key areas that helped to slow down Lyner .


    Seeing as the two of them had nearly the same speed, Richter who was carrying Alex couldn’t outran Lyner who was as fast as him . So slowly but surely Lyner was catching up, but at the moment Lyner was about to reach Richter, he heard a choppering near them .


    One person inside the chopper started shooting at Lyner . This gave Richter enough time to toss his grandson onto the chopper . Lyner who saw this was going to catch Alex using his wires, but the moment he did so he was blocked by the old man .


    After sessfully blocking Lyner’s wires, Richter threw all of his mini explosives at Lyner which he then made them explode at the same time . Lyner knew what was going to happen next, so instead of avoiding the explosives, he jumped forwards . Using his wires he was able to fling most of the explosives away from him, but the others still hit him hard .


    The explosion tore his shirt and bits of his skin, his forearms which he used to cover his face was burnt a bit . The overall damage Lyner received was enough to have killed a normal man . Yet Lyner simply gritted his teeth, and pushed onward .


    He then stretched out his hands and was about to grab onto the chopper, but then before his hand could reach, Richter got a hold of Lyner’s outstretched hand . Lyner was going to struggle, but because of the damage he has taken from the explosives, he couldn’t escape from Richter’s grip .


    Richter whose damage was already healed by the nanomachines held up Lyner and spoke to him .


    "You’ve surprised me monster of Berdonia . I didn’t expect you to be this strong, but your chase ends here . You get to live today since I have more important matters to attend to . Next time you meet me, you won’t be so lucky . "


    Richter then let go of Lyner’s hand making him free fall a few hundred feet above ground . Lyner who was falling from such a height was still calm as he smiled at the old man inside the chopper . While he was falling towards the ground, he used his wires to stop himself from going st onto the street .


    Lyner threw a knife with a wire attached to it onto one building and another onto the building next to it . This created a tform for which Lyner stood bncing himself .


    Lyner who was now standing in a thin wire that he attached to the nearby buildings looked at the fading helicopter . He could see Richter look at him onest time before turning his back on him, as if he didn’t care anymore .


    "Richter Greyhound . . . Who knew such a person existed . I guess today was your win, but the next time won’t be as easy . " Lyner who had lost, and was unable to rescue Alex, still smiled that fearless smile of his .
