Chapter 379 What is this? (1/2)

Alex who was mourning his father's death couldn't help but remember all they have been through together. Since the first time they met, Carlo had not only been a father to him, but he was also his mentor and savior. Everything he is, it was because of Carlo. Alex wanted to repay Carlo for everything he has done for him, yet now that was impossible.

He wanted Carlo to retire quietly and he would manage everything for him. Yet now the debt he had, would never be repaid. Alex felt frustrated, he felt anger, and most of all he felt pain. Unlike Lyner and Richter who wanted to die, who sought after death like madmen, Carlo didn't want that since he had a lot to live for. Yet in the end, he still died happily in front of him. He even showed a face that seemed content.

Alex couldn't move from his spot looking a bit lifeless as he watched the last place he saw Carlo. Even as he was dying he kept on praising Alex and he even smiled at him at the end. It was as if Carlo was telling Alex for one last time that everything was going to be okay.

'Why did you do that? Between you or me, you should be the one to live! Will my siblings now become fatherless? How about mom you just married her?!... Why did this have to happen?! Damn it, how many times do I have to go through this! How many times will I fail!'

While Alex was wallowing in sorrow, an alarm was sounding off inside the base. The shutter doors were closing, but this didn't bother Alex much since with his current strength breaking the shutter doors was relatively easy for him.

Still, now that Alex kept on hearing the alarm bells ringing, he felt a bit better for some reason. 'I can no longer change the past, grieving for dad's death will come later. For now, I need to get return home with everyone.' Alex looked at the place where he last saw his dad and smiled as he whispered, ”Dad that final mission you gave me, I'll be sure to accomplish it.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

When Alex was about ready to leave, he heard something weird. He then looked behind him and saw Richter's lifeless body started twitching. Alex was surprised to see this as he was sure that he had crushed Richter's heart, and based on what he saw and understood, he felt that the nanomachines shouldn't be able to grow an organ.

'Was destroying his brain really the only option? Damn it! I made a mistake because of my emotional state.'

”You sh*tty grandfather why won't you stay dead?!” Alex stood there waiting for what's to come next.

Richter who was dead moments ago stood up, but for some reason, his eyes remained shut, and the way he was moving was weird. Alex saw that the hole he made in his body was still there but was slowly closing. Still that was enough time for him to see Richter still had no heart, if so then why was he still alive? The moment Alex asked himself that question he immediately gave himself an answer.

'The nanomachines are still working, and they're controlling his body!' Alex gritted his teeth as he picked up the sword he dropped. Alex took a stance and shouted at the dead body of his grandfather. ”This time I'll make sure you stay dead!”

...

While Alex was about to start the final round with his grandfather, Oliver and the others were having a bit of difficulty escaping the base as the shutter doors keep on closing on them. As they continued running Oliver saw a familiar face in the corner of his eyes.

The moment he saw that face without even thinking Oliver sprinted towards the area he saw the person, he ran while carrying Rachel. Sayaka and the others who saw Oliver's reaction were startled but then they followed him from behind.

Rachel tried talking to Oliver asking him what happened to him, but Oliver didn't respond as his rage was slowly building up. All he could think off right now was him killing that b*stard that had killed his parents, and even his foster parents.
