Chapter 268 The monster and the hound (1/2)

The man that suddenly appeared was none other than Lyner, the strongest of Berdonia. Richter seeing the man was a bit offended by the gaze of a predator Lyner was showing him, but he understood for this man that was the norm. Richter didn't dare move without fully understanding the opponent in front of him. It would seem that this opponent was actually someone near his level. People near Richter's level could only be counted with one hand, so he could pretty much guess who the person in front of him was.

From a distance a huge explosion was heard. Yet Niel didn't really care about that since explosions were a normal sound in their current situation. So instead he excitedly headed towards Lyner while carrying the sleeping Dan.

”Sir Lyner how did you know we where here?”

”I saw you from the jet I borrowed. I had a feeling you guys were in some sort of trouble, so I ditched the unit I was commanding, and left them with Arthur. I saw you were about to be taken by that weird old man, so i ejected from the fighter jet I was using.”

Niel who heard what Lyner said remembered the explosion he just heard. With the current information he had he could already guess what had happened to the fighter jet Lyner was using. Lyner noticing Niel's strange gaze could understand what this apprentice of his was thinking.

”I properly crash landed the fighter jet towards the heavy artillery of the enemy. That's why the explosion was louder that it was suppose to be okay. So don't look at me like that.”

While Lyner and Niel were talking, Richter couldn't make a move. It was because, even though Lyner seem to be mucking about, but in truth he was entirely focused on Richter. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to fight properly while carrying his grandson, Richter signaled one of his subordinates to come. It would take them seven minutes to get to him. So he needed to fight Lyner with a handicap of holding his grandson for seven minutes.

Richter could feel his blood boil at the prospect of an actual challenge.

...

Lyner who was done talking to Niel spoke to Richter. ”Hey old man, how about handing my student back to me.” Lyner pointed at the unconscious Alex who was being carried by Richter like a sack of rice.

”Oh, you're his teacher?... Well it doesn't really matter, as his biological grandfather, I don't need to hand over my grandson to you.”

Hearing what Richter said made Lyner smile. He didn't really care that Richter was Alex's biological grandfather. That information didn't even faze him. What mattered was that it was plain to see that Alex was being forced by his grandfather to come with him.

Of course that isn't what Lyner really cared about, what he truly cared about was right now at this very moment a being that was as strong as him was now there standing in front of him.

'Things have been going my way recently. Just the other day I got to fight Arthur Glory, now I'm able to fight this person who seems to be stronger.'

Lyner took out a pair of black gloves, that had special kinds of wires hidden within it. This was Lyner's real main weapon. He hasn't used it in years, ever since he got too strong for his own good. Yet now he had finally found a person worthy enough to use them on.

Richter who was assessing the man in front of him had determined that this was a person who was nearing his own combat prowess.
