Adopted Soldier

Chapter 79

Alex finally got to make Lilitth faint, he then started to look for the chip on her body . This was the first time, he really got a good look at Lilitth . The little girl was actually quite cute, she was like a doll . She had purplish white hair, her eyes shone like amethyst, her skin was kinda pale, no matter how Alex looked, she looked like a doll .

Alex was amazed how such a tiny girl, could wield such power . As he searched her body, when Alex looked at Lilitth’s back, he noticed something inside of Lilitth’s skin . There was a big lump on her back, which made her delicate white skin, look frightening .

It was obvious to anyone that the chip was inside her back, Alex needed to cut open her skin to get it out, but he hadn’t the equipment to deal with such a thing . Lilitth’s skin was literally harder than steel . Alex noticed that Lilitth was starting to wake up . So he hadn’t much time, yet even in such a dire situation, Alex kept his cool . The clock was ticking and there was no solution . . . That is if you wanted to do it delicately .

Alex sighed, he really didn’t want to hurt his new little sister, but desperate times, call for desperate measures . The foreign object inside of her, was a huge lump that Alex could hold with his hands, so that’s what he did .

Alex gripped the foreign object on her back, and while in the state of RELEASE, Alex pulled the foreign object out of her .

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" A large amount of blood gushed out, and spluttered everywhere, as Lilitth’s scream echoed inside the room . The pain had overwhelmed the little girl, so at the moment she woke up, she immediately fainted again .

After a short while, as Alex expected the wound on her back healed . Alex sighed as he held the object on his hand . He will hand this over to his dad later . Alex then looked at Eva who had slept throughout all of these events .

He wasn’t sure if the incapacitating gas she inhaled was really potent, or if Eva herself was just weak to that kind of thing . Still now that everything is over, he decided they better leave now . Alex headed to the Iron door, and inspected it . The iron door had no handle, there was nothing to swipe the ID card as well . There was nothing that indicated that it could be opened, it seems like this door could only be opened from the other side .

While Alex was trying to figure out a way to get out, it suddenly happened . An intense pain attacked Alex . His muscles started to feel like they were being torn apart, his bones felt like they were being hit by sledgehammers . Alex gritted his teeth, and endured the pain . This was the backlash from using RELEASE, for such a long period of time, and he even used the power of RELEASE that was beyond his current capabilities .

While the pain was increasing, Alex heard a tapping sound from the iron door . This was Morse code, it was telling Alex to get away from the door . Alex quickly moved Lilitth’s and Eva’s bodies away from the door .

BOOM!

The iron door was forcefully opened by an explosion, and beyond the smoke was a familiar figure . "Alex are you alright? You’ve been in radio silence for half an hour . " It was Carlo Samarita, who had entered the room .

"You’re ten minutes late dad . " Alex smiled as he saw the man who entered the room which such swagger, was his dad .

"Well you know, I was a bit preoccupied at the time . Some third rate assassins bothered me a bit . But enough about that, what’s happening here?" Carlo looked around and immediately noticed the unconscious Eva, which of course he expected to be here, what surprised him was the little girl, that for a second he thought was a doll .

"Who is that? Don’t tell me you finally succumbed into some evil desire, and forcefully kidnapped a little girl . " Carlo smiled as he made a joke . He had guessed that the little girl was a captive same as Eva, and Alex rescued her as well .

Alex who was in a lot of pain because of the backlash of using RELEASE, was feeling comforted by simply hearing his dad’s stupid jokes .

"This little girl, happens to be my little sister, and your daughter . " Carlo who heard what Alex said, nearly stumbled and fell . His mind was rattled by what Alex said . He stood there in a daze and looked at the girl .

’Who is this girl? My daughter, but from whom? Was it Mary? Lisa? or was it Yuki? No based on her doll like look, it might have been Riza . . . No the age does not match, she looks to be around eight to nine years old . Who was I with at the time? . . . ’

While Carlo was thinking of who the girl’s mother was, Alex who could pretty much read his mind, gave him an answer .

"This is not your biological daughter, I just promised her that she could be my sister . You don’t have any objections do you dad?" Carlo who was thinking frantically, was relieved to hear that he didn’t make a mistake . He was then about to make a joke about Alex’s preference but then he saw his son’s serious look, and sighed .

"Fine I will adopt her, what’s her name?"

"Lilitth . "

"Lilitth Samarita . . . Well we got another addition to our family . Who knew I could get two kids without a wife . Hmm, I guess I should seriously think about getting you kids a mother . " Alex who was in pain, looked at his dad that was actually thinking seriously .

"Dad, here, I leave everything to you now . . . I’m just going to have a little nap . " Alex tossed the chip he held to Carlo, and before Carlo could respond, Alex’s body had gone soft, and he fell face first to the floor . Alex had fallen asleep, almost instantly .

Not really that surprising considering, that the whole day was extremely tiring for him . Alex hadn’t slept for 48 hours, coupled with his anxiety, the fight with Dan, having a heart to heart talk with Rachel, trying to save Eva, and battling Lilitth, even using RELEASE for such a long time, obviously he would sleep like he was dead .

Carlo who saw his son, sleeping so peacefully on the floor, inside an enemy base, sighed . He wasn’t sure if his son was just that confident, or he simply trust him that much, or it could be both .

"Sleep well Alex, I’ll handle things from here . "
