Chapter 155 Friends (1/2)

Alex was informed by the surveillance team that something was happening in Niel's house, so he headed there in a hurry. Once he got to the house he saw Niel, wounded all over, and the enemy wanting to flee.

So using his sword Alex had immobilize the enemy threat and was going to question him. When Alex was about to start questioning the enemy, the enemy suddenly collapsed. Alex with one look already figured out the the enemy was dead. He most probably has a poison pellet or something similar hidden in his molars, which he activated the moment he was sure that he couldn't escape.

Well though he couldn't talk, as long as the body is intact he could still gain some information regarding the enemy. Alex then proceeded to call the police chief telling him to come over with some of his men.

Once he was done with his call, Alex looked at the unconscious Niel. At first glance it looks like he was badly wounded but on closer inspection aside from the stab wound on his left hand, everything else were tiny nicks and scratches.

Alex after checking Niel's injuries administered first aid, and bandaged him up. He then waited for the police to arrive.

...

While Alex was waiting for the police, Niel woke up after a few minutes. Alex was quite impressed by this. Seeing that this was obviously his first time in battle, and he was pretty much exhausted, waking this quickly was really impressive.

Niel who saw his hand in bandages, recalled what happened and looked at Alex.

”Where is the man in the suit? What happened to him?” Niel was still on high alert as he asked this. Alex then pointed at the dead man. When Niel saw the dead body he was about ready to puke but because of his amazing self control, as well as the image he needed to maintain he stopped himself from doing something so unsightly.

”... Alex... Did you kill him?.” Niel spoke in an eeriely tranquil voice.

”No... He killed himself via poison.” Alex answer was as usual concise and direct to the point, without any emotion in them. Niel who heard Alex's answer felt relieved. Even though he was going to accept any answer from Alex, he was happy to hear that Alex didn't kill the man. He would still accept it if Alex killed, but hearing he didn't really felt different.

Niel already had some suspicions on what Alex's life was like before. But he would deal with that when the time comes, for now Niel didn't need to know that part of Alex's life.

”Thanks Alex, thank you for saving my life... Still how did you know I was in trouble?”

Alex hearing Niel's question was silent. He didn't know what he should say, so he said the first thing that popped up in his mind.

”I was having my usual night drive in my motorcycle, when I noticed something going on in your roof. That's when I came to save you. It was all a coincidence, it was a good thing I passed by. Seeing as you were almost killed.”

Niel who heard Alex's answer obviously knew that he was lying. Still it was true Alex did save his life, and he didn't like forcing out information from a friend, so Niel decided not to press the topic further.

”Is that so?... I truly am grateful that you happen to drive pass here.” Niel just smiled at his secretive friend.
