Chapter 302 I might spare her life (1/2)

When Alex woke up from the surprise attack Richter did, he saw that he was once again inside the isolated room. Yet this time he wasn't bound in chains and he still had his weapons. At first Alex was confused as to what was happening and wanted to figure out what plan the b*stard of a grandfather was concocting this time,

Alex then checked his gun and saw that it had no bullets. So the only thing Alex could use at the moment was his sword. While Alex was assessing the situation, Richter looked at him amused by his actions.

'Hmm, it would seem that he was finally able to calm down. I guess the sudden influx of different emotions had momentarily blinded my brilliant grandson. Just a little more, just a tiny push and he would finally become the perfect Greyhound.'

The two simply look at each other for some time. Both of them said nothing, as the other simply observed the person in front of him. Alex who was still a bit agitated was the first to speak.

”What do you want this time? Are you here to gloat of your victory? Heh, what a petty old man you are. If-” Alex was about to say, if you didn't have the those nanomachines, you would have already died a hundred times. Alex didn't continue to say those words, since he knew that the old man only took those hits because he knew they won't affect him. Blaming the other person because the tools he has were better than his, isn't really something Alex should say.

Seeing Alex suddenly stop talking made Richter chuckle a bit. After chuckling, Richter's face suddenly turned serious, with that the atmosphere became tense.

”Alex your strength is undeniably that of a Greyhound's. You have all the strength, and intelligence of a true Greyhound. Yet you lack the most important factor that could make you into the perfect Greyhound. What you lack is a Greyhound's calm cruelty, the calmness to logically and efficiently think of the best course of action. The cruelty to do anything to efficiently achieve your goal. Even if you lose the strength and intelligence of a Greyhound, as long as you had the calm cruelty, both of those things could be attained overtime. Unfortunately the ideals and thirst of the Greyhounds isn't with you. Unfortunately acquiring calm cruelty isn't gained by training, it needs to come from deep within you. Still as a Greyhound I'm sure that rage, that thirst, that insanity lies within you. Nay, I believe most humans have that characteristic and they simply mask it with their supposed rationality. So with that thought in mind I had an idea.”

Richter looked at Alex with a cruel smile on his face. Seeing him like that actually frightened Alex a bit.

”How about you kill your friends?” Alex was stunned the moment he heard the crazy sh*t his grandfather said.

”Huh? You really are an insane old man. What made you think I'll actually do that?”

”I think you will agree with me Alex, after you hear my offer.”

”No matter what you offer I would never kill my friends. Do you think that you can give something that could actually sway me? Even in the face of death or torture, I would never harm my friends!”
