Alex tried to quickly end the fight, by slashing at Richter’s head, but the moment he did so the Richter’s dead body evaded his attack . Richter then proceeded to attack Alex rather sloppily . The speed and strength were beyond what Richter showed Alex while fighting him, but there was no longer any trace of Richter’s exquisite technique or control . It seems like the nanomachines are truly controlling Richter’s body and can release its full potential, but all the techniques Richter polished to perfection were now gone .
It was like fighting a ten-year-old who was in a martial art master’s body . Still, Alex was already exhausted both physically, emotionally, and mentally from the last battle, which made this battle harder than it was supposed to be .
While dodging the attacks of dead Richter, Alex picked up his father’s favorite weapon . It was the whip sword his father loved to use so much . Using the sword Alex was able to capture Richter’s body with one swift flick of his wrist, and then when the sword had entangled Richter, Alex pulled the handle of the sword slicing Richter’s body into four parts . Alex was sure that would finish it, yet the moment he thought the body would break, it didn’t . The nanomachines kept the body intact, the moment the sword was no longer there they reattached the body before it could even notice it was sliced .
Alex then tried to pierce Richter’s head with his sword, but no matter what he did, the nanomachines protected the head tightly . It didn’t matter how many times Alex cut off the different body parts, as they were immediately reattached upon being sliced . It didn’t matter whatever he did, as the nanomachines seem to be getting faster in their repairs as the fight dragged on . It would seem that Alex had no other option than to destroy Richter’s brain . That was Alex’s only road to victory .
Alex who was now starting to feel a bit exhausted was breathing heavily as he looked at the irritating abomination that used to be his grandfather . Even in death, the crazy a*s grandfather of his was giving him a hard time . Alex then tried to stabilize his breathing as his sword and his father’s sword dangled in his arms .
"Fine then! If it’s going to be this way, then I’ll destroy you until there’s nothing left to fix!"
. . .
While Alex’s battle with the dead Richter was heating up, Oliver and the others were looking at a very worrying sight . Five large looking missiles were being checked upon by numerous people that look to be scientists and engineers . In the middle of the panicking scientists and engineers was a huge man screaming orders .
The man who was screaming orders felt something and turned around, he then saw Oliver’s group . When he saw Oliver he couldn’t help but smile a sinister-looking smile .
"Oh, its been ages my nephew! I’ve seen a lot of your pictures from the clone’s room, but seeing you in person is really different . You’ve really grown so big, hahaha!" Hektor suddenly laughed a very hearty laugh .
Oliver seeing his uncle laughing made him even angrier . This was the man who killed not only his real dad but also his foster parents . The anger that was going through Oliver’s head made him miss the crucial term which was a clone . Still, no matter what, Hektor was saying didn’t really affect what Oliver wanted to do right now . Oliver placed Rachel down and then without a moment’s hesitation, he attacked Hektor by punching .
Of course, it would’ve been more effective if he used his sword or gun, but Oliver didn’t want to hit Hektor using weapons, he wanted to feel Hektor’s pain in his hands . He wanted to repeatedly punish Hektor with his own flesh and blood .
The other mercenary club members were confused, they couldn’t understand much of what was happening . Sayaka, on the other hand, didn’t really care about what reason Oliver had to attack, all she needed to know was that Hektor was an enemy .
. . .
Hektor who blocked Oliver’s punch chuckled at his nephew . "It would seem that all those muscles are just for show . Also what kind of nephew greets his uncle like this? If you’re going to greet me, do it properly . LIKE THIS!" Hektor then kicked Oliver away, as Oliver was flying onto a nearby wall Sayaka moved . While watching Oliver fly across the room hitting the wall, Hektor noticed a dagger was nearing his neck . He was able to catch the dagger in his hand, but then he felt something stab his chest . Hektor looked down and saw a surprised Sayaka, who was unable to pierce through Hektor’s chest .
Hektor then grabbed Sayaka by the wrist and smiled at her . "You’re the little lass my nephew is infatuated with . You’re pretty good, actually, you’re better than he is . If only you knew that with your weapon and strength you won’t be able to get through my defensive wear . Still, you are too good for my nephew, I wonder what do you see in him?"
Sayaka didn’t bother to answer as she tried to stab Hektor using her free hand, but Hektor held that hand as well . When Hektor was about to discipline Sayaka he threw the girl forward . Several wires then tangled Sayaka, Niel’s surprise attack failed .
"All of you back off! He’s mine!" Oliver shouted as he once again lunged at Hektor this time he attacked with even more ferocity than before . "Anyone else who gets in my way will die as well!"
Hektor who was warding off all of Oliver’s attacks had still some leeway to speak . "Now is that any way to treat your friends? How bad mannered of you, didn’t Phil and Marge teach you anything?"
When Hektor spoke of Phil and Marge, Oliver got even angrier as he started screaming . "DON’T YOU DARE SPEAK THEIR NAMES WITH THAT FILTHY MOUTH OF YOURS! YOU F*CKING MURDERER!"
Oliver’s attacks were getting even more fierce and Hektor even though he looked calm on the outside was getting pressured . He then scowled at his nephew before he found an opportunity to counterattack . Once again Oliver was sent flying towards the wall . As Oliver was getting up he heard Hektor shouting at him .
"Murderer?! How funny of you call me that! Your father is the murderer! Because of him my beloved, my adorable little sister died . You are also at fault here, you are even worse than your father, you are the true murderer! If it not for you she would be standing here beside me, and none of the others would’ve needed to die . If not for you, then I would’ve spared the whole world . You, James, will become the greatest sinner of mankind for killing my sister! HAHAHAHA!"
Hektor suddenly started laughing in a crazed manner as Oliver watched him . Everything he said didn’t make any sense, Olive could not understand a lick of what he said .
. . .
While Oliver and Hektor were fighting, the other members simply watched as they honored what Oliver wanted to do . Still, if it gets dangerous for Oliver the others were ready to step in . Kei, on the other hand, was doing something else entirely . He took one of the scientists that looked to be of a high position and started to threaten him .
"What are you people doing for this mad man? What are those missiles for?" Kei who was able to snatch a gun from one of the engineers was pointing it at the scientist’s head . The scientist started to panic as he tried to escape from Kei’s grasp, unfortunately for him, Kei might not be as strong as his fellow mercenary club members, but he was still stronger than the average person . The scientist that didn’t seem like he trained his whole life didn’t stand a chance .
"Please don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! Okay, I’ll tell you everything! I didn’t want to do this, he threatened to kill me and my family! I had no choice I swear!" Kei then pressed the gun onto the scientist’s head and spoke in a more threatening tone .
"I don’t care what your reasons are, just tell me what those missiles are for . If you don’t start talking properly, I’ll just kill you and ask the next guy . I’m pretty sure he’ll give better answers . "
When he was threatened again, the scientist started to explain what Hektor forced them to create . When Kei heard what those missiles were for, his mind blanked out for a second .
