Chapter 305 Time to get serious (1/2)

Hektor and Lisa were currently tracking down the second strongest friend of Alex, Niel Rayheart. This boy who registered a year ago quickly rose through the ranks, and was even granted a nickname by his fellow mercs, he was called the Angel of Death. The reason for that quick rise wasn't only due to his formidable skills, but because of his looks and his status as Lyner's one and only apprentice.

Due to him being so famous it wasn't that hard to track him. Hektor and Lisa took only a few days to figure out his current location. It would seem most of the members of the so called Mercenary club were trying to gather intel on Alex's whereabouts.

Currently Niel was in Cromer City, which was one of the first cites to fall in the initial attack of the Granado Empire. It was easy to move around this city seeing as most of the fallen cities had loose security, since most of the soldiers were needed on the front lines. With Niel's skills he was able to easily maneuver through the city without being spotted.

Hektor and Lisa have been following him for some time and found his abilities impressive. Niel whp was moving finally stopped. He was currently at the safe house where Alex was kidnapped. It was in this place Niel truly understood how weak he was.

...

Hektor and Lisa were confused as they watched Niel simply stand in front of the safe house with his looking downward.

”Hey should we engage?” Lisa spoke to Hektor who was simply looking at Niel. She was getting impatient since Niel was doing absolutely nothing.

”I wanted to see if he was going to do something else, but it doesn't seem like he would do anything at all. Fine then, let's just knock him out and head back to HQ.” The moment Hektor and Lisa were about to move, Niel looked at the direction of where the two were hiding.

”Are you guys finally going to do something. I've been waiting here for hours.” Niel showed his radiant smile when he said this. Hektor wasn't too surprised to know that Niel spotted them, it was only Lisa who was stunned. She was so sure that she and Hektor hid themselves properly. It was surprising to see the boy who was still in his teens be this skilled.

Knowing that they already been spotted, the two showed themselves in front of Niel.

”You're as good as the rumors made you out to be, no you're even better.” Hearing Hektor praise him, Niel smiled at made an elegant bow.

”Thank you for the praise. If it's alright with you, can you please tell me how I may address the sir and lady.” Niel said playfully as he winked at Lisa.

”I'm Hektor and she's Lisa. We're from the Shadow Mercenaries, and we need you to come with us.” When Niel heard Hektor's introduction, he was at first shocked, but then he was able to quickly calm himself down as he continued to smile confidently.

”Oh, the Shadow Mercenaries... I have heard of your legendary name from numerous rumors. So what does sir Hektor and lady Lisa want from me?”

”Like I said, we are here to invite you to our base. All your friends will be there, to celebrate Dalvir Greyhound's birthday.” Hektor decided to tell the truth and omit Alex's name and use his real name instead. Unfortunately for him Niel knew who Dalvir Greyhound was.

Even before hearing Alex's real name, Niel was already agitated since Hektor said all his friends were now in the Shadow Mercenaries HQ. So the moment Hektor said Alex's name, Niel couldn't stop himself from emitting killing intent. He then started speaking in a cold tone.
