Chapter 97 Ism her Onii-sama (2/2)
”So dad I assume, you gave your favorite speech, about how you control their fate in the palm of your hand.” Alex started a conversation, while thinking of a way to save the Amamami's.
”Of course I did, now Alex get out of the way so I can kill this fool. You give me your gun.” Carlo asked one of his men to hand him a gun. The merc that was position behind Carlo tossed his handgun to Carlo.
After catching the gun, Carlo was going to shoot, but something unexpected happened, Alex kicked the gun out of his dad's hands. The hand gun that flew upwards fell right into Alex's hands.
Alex then out of reflex pointed the gun he caught at the person he stole it from, which was his dad.
”Alex what do you think you're doing? Are you actually pointing a gun at me?” Carlo asked Alex, which Alex responded by lowering his gun.
”Why are you protecting this b*stards anyway? You do understand what they did to your little sister, and her friend, who is the little sister of one of your friends.”
”Even so, Lilitth will never approve of this outcome. Also as her brother I wont accept this outcome as well. If you kill these fools, it will not only be blood on your hands, there will be blood on Lilitth's hands as well.”
When Carlo heard Alex's reasoning he started to look even more serious. ”You do understand, if we let these guys go, they might become a problem later on... Also I do love my cute little daughter.” Carlo looked at Lilitth who was hugging his leg with a gentle smile, after which he returned to looking at Alex, with a solemn expression.
”But she is a Samarita. At some point blood will not only cover her hands, it will cover her very soul. That's what it means to be a Samarita. I thought that bringing you here, back into normal society, we might be able to avoid it, but still it was useless.”
Alex closed his eyes for awhile, as if contemplating something, and then after a few seconds opened them.
”You might be right, as a Samarita, she my little sister your daughter might not be able to avoid shedding blood. But as her big brother, who she calls wholeheartedly her onii-sama. I want to protect her from that fate until the very end.” Looking at Alex's ever stoic face, and hearing how seriously he delivered those lines, without being embarrassed, made Carlo a bit proud.
It also made Lilitth feel extremely touched. Yet Carlo couldn't change his mind.
”Even after saying all that, I still wont change my mind, Alex. Move aside and let me end this.” Seeing as his dad wasn't planning on backing down, Alex was left with no choice.
”Dad I declare the start of our annual bet.” Hearing what Alex said surprised Carlo, more than anything that was said this day. Alex was willing to use the annual bet, for the Amamami's.
