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

”Really, are you sure about that? What if my offer is that I won't kill Rachel. If you kill your friends I will allow Rachel to live, I could even allow her to become your wife. If you don't take this offer, then I'll simply kill all your friends including Rachel. I would kill them in the most horrific way you can think off. I could even torture them until they themselves wish for death to embrace them.”

Alex's mind blanked out for a moment and he started shaking a bit, but after a few seconds he was able to think of something to say to counter his grandfather's plan.

”I know you won't do that.” Alex who was shaking in fear moments ago, looked at his grandfather with resolute eyes. Richter was stunned to see a reaction he wasn't expecting.

”Oh, what makes you think that I won't do what I say? If you haven't notice, not once did I do anything contrary to my words.”

”It's because you need me to become your successor or some sh*t like that. You need me to become a true Greyhound, right? It's like you said before, you and I are the only remaining Greyhounds. If you kill my friends, I would kill myself joining them.”

Richter looked at Alex with eyes of disappointment.

”I thought you came up with something more creative, how disappointing. Let me tell you Alex, I already guess that you would do that, actually I already thought of all the different ways you would react if I killed all of them. That's why as a final measure after showing you their gruesome deaths, and depending on what actions you take, I would most probably wipe you memory.”

Alex who heard that his grandfather planned to wipe his memory, made him start formulating different scenarios in his head. Was there another route he could take that would lead to a better ending? Killing his grandfather was impossible with his current abilities. Tricking his grandfather doesn't seem remotely feasible. Faking the deaths of his friends would be seen through quickly. Alex though as fast as possible as to what was the best course of action, to avoid the death of his friends, and he could only reach one answer. It doesn't matter if this would make him fail his mission, there was no other choice.

Alex quickly unsheathed his sword and was about to kill himself, but before he could do so, his grandfather was able to stop him.

”So the only conclusion was suicide. Well even that route will be blocked.” Richter then wore a gas mask as the room was once again being filled with an incapacitating agent. Breathing in the gas that was filling the room, Alex consciousness was slowly fading. He could no longer use much strength, as he heard his grandfather speak.

”Once you wake up, your friends will be here. By that time I hope you have made your decision.”
