Chapter 155
Alex was inford by the surveillance team that sothing was happening in Niel’s house, so he headed there in a hurry . Once he got to the house he saw Niel, wounded all over, and the enemy wanting to flee .
So using his sword Alex had immobilize the enemy threat and was going to question him . When Alex was about to start questioning the enemy, the enemy suddenly collapsed . Alex with one look already figured out the the enemy was dead . He most probably has a poison pellet or sothing similar hidden in his molars, which he activated the mont he was sure that he couldn’t escape .
Well though he couldn’t talk, as long as the body is intact he could still gain so information regarding the enemy . Alex then proceeded to call the police chief telling him to co over with so of his n .
Once he was done with his call, Alex looked at the unconscious Niel . At first glance it looks like he was badly wounded but on closer inspection aside from the stab wound on his left hand, everything else were tiny nicks and scratches .
Alex after checking Niel’s injuries administered first aid, and bandaged him up . He then waited for the police to arrive .
. . .
While Alex was waiting for the police, Niel woke up after a few minutes . Alex was quite impressed by this . Seeing that this was obviously his first ti in battle, and he was pretty much exhausted, waking this quickly was really impressive .
Niel who saw his hand in bandages, recalled what happened and looked at Alex .
"Where is the man in the suit? What happened to him?" Niel was still on high alert as he asked this . Alex then pointed at the dead man . When Niel saw the dead body he was about ready to puke but because of his amazing self control, as well as the image he needed to maintain he stopped himself from doing sothing so unsightly .
" . . . Alex . . . Did you kill him? . " Niel spoke in an eeriely tranquil voice .
"No . . . He killed himself via poison . " Alex answer was as usual concise and direct to the point, without any emotion in them . Niel who heard Alex’s answer felt relieved . Even though he was going to accept any answer from Alex, he was happy to hear that Alex didn’t kill the man . He would still accept it if Alex killed, but hearing he didn’t really felt different .
Niel already had so suspicions on what Alex’s life was like before . But he would deal with that when the ti cos, for now Niel didn’t need to know that part of Alex’s life .
"Thanks Alex, thank you for saving my life . . . Still how did you know I was in trouble?"
Alex hearing Niel’s question was silent . He didn’t know what he should say, so he said the first thing that popped up in his mind .
"I was having my usual night drive in my motorcycle, when I noticed sothing going on in your roof . That’s when I ca to save you . It was all a coincidence, it was a good thing I passed by . Seeing as you were almost killed . "
Niel who heard Alex’s answer obviously knew that he was lying . Still it was true Alex did save his life, and he didn’t like forcing out information from a friend, so Niel decided not to press the topic further .
"Is that so? . . . I truly am grateful that you happen to drive pass here . " Niel just smiled at his secretive friend .
"Why were you being attacked anyway?" Alex changed the topic while he could, both to evade even more questions, and to learn about the situation better .
"I don’t really know . That guy wasn’t really talkative, he just attacked in silence . " Niel who was sitting down on the roof shrugged his shoulders, unable to answer Alex’s question .
"I see . "
"So Alex what do we do now? Are we going to call the cops?"
"Don’t worry I already did that . "
"Seriously?" Niel was surprised on how Alex didn’t hesitate to call the cops, even in this kind of situation .
"So what are we going to say? Are we going to claim that we killed him out of self defense? Or do we tell the truth? I’m not sure the police will believe that the guy died by poisoning himself, seeing his body like that . "
"Don’t worry I will handle it . " Alex spoke in his usual indifferent tone of voice, which didn’t really inspire confidence . Still Niel already knew what kind of guy Alex was, if he says that he will handle it, he will .
. . .
The police finally arrived, and the police chief himself was there . Niki who had no idea what was going on, was scared . She even saw her brother covered in wounds which made her even more scared . The mont when she saw Niel wounded all over, Niki rushed to his side crying her little heart out . She was so scared and kept repeating the words, don’t die Nii-Nii don’t die . Even though it was obvious that Niel was doing pretty well now .
While Niel was trying to calm Niki down, Alex was talking to the police chief Renold . He explained to Renold what had happened . Hearing Alex’s explanation of the events made Renold worry a bit .
"Renold, I will be taking the body with . I and the butlers back ho will be conducting a thorough investigation regarding the origins of that man . I hope this is alright with you . "
"It’s no problem at all Alex . I am one of the few people that know who you truly are, so I know that you’ll be able to do a better job than the forensic team back in HQ . I just hope that you keep in the loop when you find sothing . " Renold who knew Alex as the ’silent flash’ was aware of his many capabilities .
"Roger that . Also can you file this case as attempted robbery . I want you to inform Niel’s parents that the man that died tried to rob them, and Niel was able to stop him until you arrived and killed the man . Can you do that?"
"Yes I can . . . But Alex how about your friend will he go with that story?"
"I’ll explain it to him . I’m sure he will understand, after all we are . . . friends . " Alex hesitated for a bit before saying the last word, but the mont he said it he felt a warm sensation in his chest . It was a different sensation from what he gets when he is around Rachel . The sensation he felt when he was around Rachel was much more than this, but still this sensation sohow feels similar yet at the sa ti different .
All he knows at this point was that everyone in the rcenary Club and even Evangeline were truly his friends .
