Adopted Soldier-Chapter 97

Chapter 97

After leaving the internet cafe, Alex was running towards Lilitth's school, but being really worried, he decided he had no choice . Alex saw a guy riding a motorcycle, he knocked the guy out, place him on the sidewalk, and wrote a cheque that was more than the amount used to buy the motorcycle .

When the people saw what Alex had done, they started panicking, some even tried to video the event, but were unable to do so, since Alex did everything smoothly and quickly . By the time they got their phones out, Alex was already gone .

. . .

Even in a motorcycle it took Alex a few minutes to get the school . When he finally reached Lilitth's school, he noticed the lack of people in the vicinity . He then saw a blockade, and some of his dad's men .

Alex could already pretty much guess, what had happened . His dad dotes on Lilitth to an extreme, and Lilitth messaged him that their dad was going out of control .

'The most probable cause was someone did something to Lilitth, and dad reacted in an excessive manner . ' While Alex was assessing the situation, he already bypassed the blockade .

Alex looked at the roof of the surrounding buildings, and saw snipers aiming at one specific spot . With all these clues, Alex easily guessed that his dad was most probably in the grass field of the school . Alex entered the school motor bike and all .

He finally spotted his dad, pointing a gun at a stranger, while Lilitth was clinging onto his leg, seemingly begging him to stop . Seeing the situation, Alex got the knife he hides on his left leg, and threw it at the muzzle of his dad's gun .

He finally reached his dad, and stood between him, and the unknown person he was trying to kill . Alex surveyed the situation . After a short look at the position of the people gathered, Alex had a rough picture in his head of what had happened .

There was an unconscious boy who seem to be a bit older than Lilitth, there was a man who had some facial features similar to the boy . His dad was trying to kill the man behind him, while Lilitth clung to his leg a bit teary eyed . As well as the message he received awhile ago .

Alex had concluded that the boy who was similar to Lilitth's age, must've done something to Lilitth, making their overprotective dad go berserk . Then the dad of the boy came to school, also based on the guards surrounding him, he must be wealthy . There was also a chance that the unknown man had arrogantly stated his terms to his dad and little sister, which made his dad who likes to crush his opponents until no hope is left, made a counter argument which he could not refuse .

"Dad I can pretty much guess what had happened here . Still do tell me with your own words, what happened, just to be sure . Also Lilitth tell me your side as well . " Alex asked his bewildered dad, and little sister to recount the events that had led to this .

. . .

After hearing his dad and Lilitth's explanation, Alex was pretty much correct on his assumptions . He just wasn't sure what the boy did, but now he knew . After knowing the truth of what the boy did, and how his father responded to the situation, he too wanted to kill them, but he couldn't do so, seeing Lilitth's expression .

If he killed them, the their deaths will haunt Lilitth forever, same as the deaths of his own biological parents .

"So dad I assume, you gave your favorite speech, about how you control their fate in the palm of your hand . " Alex started a conversation, while thinking of a way to save the Amamami's .

"Of course I did, now Alex get out of the way so I can kill this fool . You give me your gun . " Carlo asked one of his men to hand him a gun . The merc that was position behind Carlo tossed his handgun to Carlo .

After catching the gun, Carlo was going to shoot, but something unexpected happened, Alex kicked the gun out of his dad's hands . The hand gun that flew upwards fell right into Alex's hands .

Alex then out of reflex pointed the gun he caught at the person he stole it from, which was his dad .

"Alex what do you think you're doing? Are you actually pointing a gun at me?" Carlo asked Alex, which Alex responded by lowering his gun .

"Why are you protecting this b*stards anyway? You do understand what they did to your little sister, and her friend, who is the little sister of one of your friends . "

"Even so, Lilitth will never approve of this outcome . Also as her brother I wont accept this outcome as well . If you kill these fools, it will not only be blood on your hands, there will be blood on Lilitth's hands as well . "

When Carlo heard Alex's reasoning he started to look even more serious . "You do understand, if we let these guys go, they might become a problem later on . . . Also I do love my cute little daughter . " Carlo looked at Lilitth who was hugging his leg with a gentle smile, after which he returned to looking at Alex, with a solemn expression .

"But she is a Samarita . At some point blood will not only cover her hands, it will cover her very soul . That's what it means to be a Samarita . I thought that bringing you here, back into normal society, we might be able to avoid it, but still it was useless . "

Alex closed his eyes for awhile, as if contemplating something, and then after a few seconds opened them .

"You might be right, as a Samarita, she my little sister your daughter might not be able to avoid shedding blood . But as her big brother, who she calls wholeheartedly her onii-sama . I want to protect her from that fate until the very end . " Looking at Alex's ever stoic face, and hearing how seriously he delivered those lines, without being embarrassed, made Carlo a bit proud .

It also made Lilitth feel extremely touched . Yet Carlo couldn't change his mind .

"Even after saying all that, I still wont change my mind, Alex . Move aside and let me end this . " Seeing as his dad wasn't planning on backing down, Alex was left with no choice .

"Dad I declare the start of our annual bet . " Hearing what Alex said surprised Carlo, more than anything that was said this day . Alex was willing to use the annual bet, for the Amamami's .
