Adopted Soldier Chapter 305

Chapter 305
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 .
"Do you know Richter Greyhound?" The two who felt the increasing hostility from Niel and decided not to answer . Instead the two were now getting ready to fight . Hektor took a fighting stance, while Lisa had her assault rifle ready .
"Oh, so the great and powerful Shadow Mercenaries are now kidnapping children . It seems like you guys been downgraded from legends into low class kidnappers . So tell me what have you done with my friends?"
The moment Niel asked this question it felt like the surrounding area was colder . Even Hektor felt a little bit of a chill . The two members of the Shadow Mercenaries remained silent as they waited to see what Niel would do .
If this was any other target, the two of them would have already pounced at him . Yet based on the information gathered about this boy, they couldn't just move willy-nilly . Niel Rayheart was extremely dangerous so they needed to be a bit more cautious .
Seeing that the two remaining silent Niel sighed as he got his gun out and pointed it at Hektor, who didn't seem to mind . In response to that move Lisa was now pointing her assault rifle at Niel .
"Are you going to tell me where my friends are or not? . . . I see talking won't work . " The moment Niel said this, he started shooting with his peacemaker, and Lisa fired back while Hektor remained standing in the same position and deflected the incoming bullet with his bare hands . He was able to redirect the bullet's trajectory with his bare hands .
Normally this would shock other people, but not Niel, seeing as he already witnessed his master do something similar before .
After Niel started shooting at the standing Hektor, he evaded the incoming bullets fired by Lisa and used the wires inside his gloves to trip Hektor by wrapping his right leg with wires and pulling .
Yet Hektor didn't even budge, he was steady as a mountain . Niel tried pulling on the wires with his full strength but this resulted with nothing happening . Hektor remained standing in the same stance he had since the beginning .
Niel seeing that his attacks weren't working on Hektor started to smile as he evaded Lisa's incoming attacks . The air surrounding Niel started to change, as the pressure he was emitting doubled . The killing intent started to fill the whole place, even making someone as battle hardened as Lisa a bit nervous, Hektor on the other hand simply concentrated even harder .
"This is the first time I'm going to use this on another person aside from my master . I hope you guys survive, so that I can interrogate you about my friends' whereabouts . If you don't survive then I'll just figure out a way to capture another person from your organization . "
Niel lowered his stance and was now using his two hands and his legs to lift his body up like an animal . He was now ready to finally get serious . On the other hand Hektor and Lisa were getting a bit irritated by how confident this boy was . He actually told them that he hoped they survive, as if they were at his mercy .
That statement really got to the two, if only they were allowed to kill Niel this would be easier . It would seem that this boy thinks that the two of them were easy, since they weren't able to go all out and kill the target .
"Richter didn't say that they must be delivered unharmed . He just said to bring them alive . " Hearing what Hektor said Lisa smiled and nodded her head .
"Roger that . "
"Are you guys done with your little talk? If so, then allow me to attack you seriously now . " When Niel said this he suddenly disappeared .
