Chapter 267 Alexander and his grandfather (1/2)
Alex who finally remembered the truth of his past looked at his grandfather with hate filled eyes. It has been years since he last saw him, but the old man remained the same, yet he wasn't the same as before. Now he could finally fight his grandfather with a chance of actually winning.
Alex who truly hated his Grandfather could not attack him. Even though he only had vague memories, Alex knew that attacking his his grandfather at this moment was suicide. Alex calmed himself as he took some distance from his grandfather.
As Alex took some distance from Richter, Dan was finally able to move his body. In his FULL RELEASE state, Dan was able to move faster than the speed of sound. He could only remain in this state for about three minutes.
Dan who was now able to move, started attacking Richter by moving so fast that the human eye couldn't keep up. Yet Richter was able to accurately sway his body and evade Dan's onslaught of attacks. While the old man was dodging Dan's attacks Alex was waiting for the perfect moment to shoot as he had his gun out.
It was hard to get an accurate shot since Dan was moving too fast, and Alex didn'thave a clean shot of his grandfather. Richter who had finally got a feel of Dan's speed, placed his leg on the path of Dan's attack. Getting hit the unexpected obstacle in his path Dan stumbled about. Richter making this opening got a hold of Dan's head with his iron grip. Alex even in this situation didn't have a clear shot on Richter's vitals, since the old man was using Dan's body as a shield. Still it was possible to shoot Richter in non-vital areas, knowing that was better than nothing Alex started shooting at Richter.
Seeing Alex shoot at him, Richter simply smiled as he let Alex's shots hit him. While that was happening Richter kept on pounding Dan's face onto the ground until his head was practically buried under the asphalt. Dan whose body was stronger than metal, had his brain shaken numerous times as he was being banged onto the ground. He then slowly lost conscious.
”You better not get involved in my reunion with my beloved grandson.”
While Dan was getting pounded onto the asphalt, Alex kept on shooting Richter at the non-vital areas, but the results of this shots surprised Alex. The bullets that pierced into his flesh was spitted out of his body. Alex couldn't understand how to properly describe what he saw, except to say that Richter's body literally spitted out the bullets. Not only that the wound that was inflicted healed itself almost instantaneously.
Though Alex remained stoic in front of his grandfather, Richter noticed Alex twitch and he could guess why.
”Surprised? I had the scientists back in HQ inject nanomachines into my body. The result is as you can see. My body will self heal given enough time, the only way to kill me now is if you can somehow destroy my brain. So now that I got to explain that, let's have a little spar my grandson. Let grandpa see how strong you've gotten.”
...
Niel couldn't do anything but watch Alex fight off his grandfather. The level of their fight wasn't something he could join in. So instead Niel approached the now unconscious Dan. Upon picking him up Niel noticed that Dan's face which had been continuously smashed into the ground had no external wounds, there was only dust that he got from the asphalt.
Niel also noticed that Dan looked like he was simply sleeping soundly. Of course Niel didn't bother to wake him up, since based on the previous fight with Richter even if Dan was awake he wouldn't be able to help as well.
Niel could only watch Alex fight desperately against his own grandfather.
...
Alex could already guess from fighting head on against his grandfather that he and him were not at the same dimension, strength wise. Not only that any damage that Alex inflicted on him, be it by luck or skill was instantly healed by the nanomachines. Still Alex did not despair as he continued to observe Richter, same as his fight with Lyner. Even against that man who was the strongest Alex found the weakness of his overconfidence which made him make a mistake. Surely his same as Lyner his grandfather will make a mistake at some point, and when it happens Alex would use all his power and take victory for himself.
