Chapter 335
Sayaka who just killed a person who looked like Oliver, felt a bit irritated . Even though she knew that this James Bourne was different from the Oliver that she loves, it still felt weird killing someone that looked like him .
"That"s pretty impressive killing the wolf of the battlefield, even though he was a weaker version of the original he was still pretty good . Yet as expected a failure can never amount to anything but become trash . "
When Sayaka heard what Richter said it made her a bit angry . She now kinda understood why the cloned James was acting like that in the end . This old man treated him like trash after creating him . It was obvious that he was always compared to the original and never treated as his own individual person . Even though she didn"t really like the clone, she somehow still felt a bit sorry for him .
Sayaka could now somehow see what kind of person Alex"s grandfather was . This was a person who saw everyone as tools, you could either be useful or useless to him .
"Hey, you old man, how can you say something like that?! Aren"t you the one who created him, then doesn"t that mean if he"s a failure your a failure too?"
After saying that, Sayaka was expecting a response from Richter, but he didn"t say anything at all . Sayaka waited a few more seconds but Richter remained mute .
"What"s this don"t have anything to say?"
"Oh, little girl I have a lot to say . " When Sayaka heard the reply her focus immediately s.h.i.+fted from the security cameras towards the area in front of her . There in the same entrance James entered stood an old man who was wearing a slightly different version of the uniform the other members the Shadow Mercenaries wore .
It was also worth noting that the old man in front of her had this overwhelming feeling that made it hard to approach him . It was extremely obvious to Sayaka as to who this man was .
"Then tell me Alex"s granddad what do you want to say?" Sayaka had both her hands inside the pockets of her pants, as she was fiddling with the hidden daggers placed in them .
"You called me a failure and I won"t deny that for I am a failure, but unlike that piece of trash I"m a failure of a different level . A failure of a Greyhound can never be matched by normal people . A true Greyhound even a failure is still better than most everyone . "
"This old man is really crazy . " Sayaka couldn"t help but have such thoughts . So she immediately voiced them out .
"You really are crazy, aren"t you old man?"
"Am I crazy for telling the truth? Well that doesn"t really matter . I wasn"t here to convince you about my sanity . I came here because I felt a bit itchy watching the fight between you and James . Among Alex"s friends it would seem that you have the most experience in killing . Of course that"s to be expected from someone of the Mutsu clan . Did you know your ancestors and mine used to be the greatest of enemies . The Greyhounds who were once called the strongest warriors of the past and the Mutsu"s the best a.s.sa.s.sin clan were-"
"Now he started to monologue, this guy really is an old man . Still Alex really was a Greyhound, that would explain some of his superhuman qualities . Dad once told me that the Greyhounds were a family of super prideful b*stards with extreme battle prowess and that they were in constant conflict with my ancestors . Everyone thought the Greyhounds all died out during the war a few hundred years ago . Wait why am I even thinking about this? d.a.m.n this old man he could even control the flow of my thoughts . "
While Sayaka was scolding herself, Richter was finally done with his talk about the past .
"Ok, now that we"re done with my history lesson-" Richter was now suddenly in front of Sayaka . She didn"t even notice all this happening, while he was talking Richter was actually slowly approaching her .
"d.a.m.n it, I was too distracted by that boring talk about our ancestors, I didn"t notice him get so close . " Sayaka once again scolded herself inside her head . Still she understood that it wasn"t just because she let her guard down that Richter was able to come this close, another reason was because Richter was just that good .
Sayaka who was holding her daggers and was about to attack stopped, when Richter suddenly started speaking again .
"At first I came here because I was itching to fight you, and see how good you truly are, but now I changed my mind, instead I want to give you an offer . " Richter showed Sayaka a kind old man"s smile . This was the kind of smile Grandfathers usually show their granddaughters as the watch them happily play .
"What offer?" Seeing that smile only made Sayaka feel that the old man was creepy, which only heightened her wariness .
"You see I plan on killing all your friends, well except Rachel and Evangeline . If you agree to becoming Alex"s woman and bearing his child then I will let your other friends go . So what do you think of my offer?"
Sayaka was already expecting to hear a very ridiculous offer, but this went beyond what she expected . She was momentarily stunned, "this old man really has a lot of screws loose in the head . "
"Why are you asking me? Don"t you know your grandson likes Rachel, shouldn"t you give this offer to her?"
"Oh, she"s already part of Alex"s women, I just wanted to add you in the mix . You see I and Alex are the only Greyhounds left, so we need to start from scratch . More women giving birth to Alex"s children is a good thing for the Greyhounds, so I want him to create a harem . Obviously the girls in his harem need to be exceptional, and I find you quite exceptional . So what say you, will you accept the offer or not?"
