Adopted Soldier

Chapter 355

The Executioner who was now named Leon by Alex, looked at the boy confused . The name sounds very familiar which made Leon look at Alex with a bit of doubt .

’I guess I really might be Leon Greyhound . . . ’

Richter who was watching through the security cameras was also interested in what happens next .

. . .

It was true that the one greatest regret he ever had in his life was killing his brother . This was the reason he tried everything in his power to resurrect him, and in the end, he succeeded . Richter’s former subordinates Phil and Marge were able to make a specialized cryo coffin, that was able to somehow preserve Leon’s body at the time of his death . It was then Leon’s time stopped moving . The next step in the plan was to create a clone of Leon . This was not as easy to achieve even for Phil and Marge, but after a few years of research, they were able to make a perfect clone .

This clone was simply used to harvest organs and transplant it into the real Leon . The transplant was a success, Leon’s time was able to move again . Yet when he woke up he was no longer the brother Richter remembered, he had no recollection of his past . Still, Richter considered this a good thing, since he believed that his brother’s past was shameful .

Now that Alex brought it up, Richter was rather curious how his brother would react .

. . .

"Grandfather Leon . . . Please stop this, please help me end your brother’s insanity . " Leon looked at Alex and saw the sincerity of his request, yet he didn’t respond in the way Alex wished . Leon who was feeling a bit weird now shook his head .

"Though I cannot remember who I was before if it is as you say then that would mean the leader, Richter is my younger brother . If so that would make you my grandson as well, that would make you part of my family . Then why should I kill my own brother? Well, aside from that I’m no longer Leon anyway . . . It is as the leader said, Leon Greyhound the past me, has already died . I am no longer that person, now I’m only the Executioner . "

Leon then took his stance signaling Alex to keep on fighting . When Alex heard Leon’s answer he couldn’t comprehend it . Even though his memories of Leon were almost non-existant, Alex’s father has told him stories about Leon . This person was supposedly the only Greyhound that truly didn’t like the idea of revenge . He was the sanest of the Greyhounds, and also was one of the most powerful .

’Then why did he answer in such a way? Was it because of his lost memories? That must be it! I just need to remind him of who he was . ’

"Leon! Are you truly okay with the path your brother has taken? As the older brother will you not bring him back to the correct path?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Leon didn’t bother to answer Alex as he once again started attacking . Alex didn’t bother fighting back and was dodging while trying to convince Leon .

"I know you’re still in there somewhere! Please listen to me!" Alex who was a bit distracted wasn’t able to properly dodge the incoming kick as his mind was elsewhere . Leon’s kick to Alex’s gut blew the young man into the wall .

This was the first good hit Alex had after he gained his new strength . Yet it didn’t hinder him instead it woke him up .

"I guess you won’t talk to me if I use the normal methods . So let’s do this the Greyhound way!" Alex spat a mouthful of blood and then sped forward while shooting at Leon . It was easy for Leon to dodge gunfire, if he wanted to he could even catch a bullet using his teeth . In their current level, unless the other party could predict the next move of the opponent, there is no way a bullet could hit . Since Leon and Alex were almost equally skilled with Leon having an advantage, Alex didn’t have the capability to make the battle flow his way .

Alex then blocked the shat of the scythe using his sword, but then Leon pulled the scythe closer aiming to cut Alex in half . Alex followed the blade as he stepped forward towards Leon and punched him . Leon tried to sway his head to dodge but was unable to as Alex’s punch suddenly accelerated hitting him at the head .

"Did that wake you up?"

. . .

It was already an hour since the battle between Alex and Leon started, and it would seem that a winner couldn’t be decided . Based on their skill their battle could last for days before a victor would appear . So Richter decided to end the match prematurely .

. . .

Leon who just finished his bout with Alex was now talking to Richter .

"So what do you think?" Richter asked filled with curiosity .

"About what?"

"About you being my older brother, it’s the truth you know . Do you wish to once again become Leon Greyhound? If you so wish it, I could even hand you the position as head of the Greyhounds . So what do you say?" Richter looked calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was trying to hold in his excitement .

Leon looked at Richter for a few seconds before shaking his head .

"I don’t want to become the head of the Greyhounds . As for being your brother, does it matter? . . . It’s as you said before I already died as Leon Greyhound, and I am no longer him . My name alongside everything else from my past has been wiped clean from my memory . I can no longer be who I used to be . . . Now I can only be the Executioner, nothing more nothing less . . . "

Richter who was excited moments ago was now feeling a bit depressed . "I see . . . You may leave . " Leon bowed his head and left the room, leaving a disappointed Richter behind .

’In the end . . . I can only rely on myself . . . ’
