Chapter 141

Kyle Hunt continued to observe Alex's group from the farthest distance, he can go while still being able to observe them . Even though the surveillance team could do this, he was needed to respond if Alex's group does something that might bring them to the operation . He wanted to observe them in a closer proximity but Alex has a knack for sensing someone, and the girl called Sayaka looks to be especially trained to spot people .

So even though it might seem like an exaggeration to watch them from Kyle's current distance, it was a necessary precaution . Also there's his little sister that has no idea that this operation was happening . Commander Carlo chose to do this operation immediately, after learning that Emily will be going out of the mansion .

If she were in the mansion right now, she would be reporting everything she finds out to Alex . Obviously now that Carlo knows Emily is one of Alex's allies he needed to guard against her too . It wasn't because Carlo treated them as enemies, no it was because Carlo noticed that Alex was slowly becoming a normal teenager . If he told him about the mission, he might revert back to his old ways, and discard his progress .

It was a hard decision for Carlo, and he was tempted numerous times to have Alex join them in this operation . With Alex around the operation would run even more smoothly, but Carlo wanted Alex to become a normal teenager . He wanted Alex to have fun in his youth like Lilitth . Even when they returned to normal society leaving the battlefield, it seems like the battlefield chased them here .

They even met Lyner the strongest person in Berdonia, its final defense its guardian . Then they encountered that extreme patriot, well because of him they became Lilitth's family, so at least that's one thing the guy did right .

Seeing as Alex still needed to deal with such things, made it difficult for him to simply have fun . Even the mission to protect Rachel wasn't that urgent anymore since Dan returned to his family . Also unlike Evangeline Kain who gets kidnapped a lot, it will take more than a few men to deal with the daughter if Dan Regius, the blond devil .

So learning that Alex and Lilitth went to an amus.e.m.e.nt park with their friends, made Carlo almost burst into tears, okay it wasn't almost he literally burst into crying . The Carlo of before the one called the messenger of death wouldn't have done this . Yet the Carlo now was having fun, being with Alex and Lilitth .

He couldn't imagine himself as a father back in the day, but now he was one, and a very doting one at that .

. . .

Back in the mansion inside Carlo's study, Carlo was sitting in his chair looking at the three people standing in front of him . Ryu Yamato, and Dan Regius was in front of Carlo, and the third one was Michel Dodger .

Michel Dodger was the same age as Carlo Samarita and one of his very first team members . She was there when Carlo formed his legendary squad . She was also Alex's melee combat instructor . She stood a head shorter than Carlo, black hair with a boyish hair cut . She wasn't bad looking, but she wasn't beautiful or cute either, her beauty could only be expressed by the word cool .

Though she wasn't as good as Dan in hand to hand combat, or as good as Ryu in swordsmans.h.i.+p, she was good in every other melee weapon . She wasn't going beyond the extreme of a single art like the two, but she was one of the top pract.i.tioners of every melee combat style .

Her ever changing weapons and combat style made her a very difficult opponent to deal with . The fact of the matter was in terms of pure combat ability Carlo was the weakest one in the room, followed by Dan, then Michel, the strongest one basing purely on combat ability was Ryu .

"I'm sorry to call all of you here, even though I already retired and I'm no longer the leader of the squad . " Carlo stood up from his chair and bowed his head .

"No matter if you retired or not, to me you'll always be that idiotic leader I met all those years ago . " Michel smiled at the bowing Carlo .

"That young guy that replaced you, has yet to gain my acknowledgement . To me you have never retired . " Ryu gave his opinion on the matter .

"Huh? Are you talking about the young guy, who thinks he's the best since he was chosen as the new leader of the squad? I don't really care about him, also I'm currently having a very long break . So helping a friend in trouble is not a big deal . " Dan also gave his opinion on the matter .

Carlo raised his head, and sighed as he looked at his comrades .

"Thank you everyone . So I called you three here, since you guys are the best in fighting inside buildings and enclosed s.p.a.ces . Also you guys are my most trusted companions . This is a mission we are not allowed to fail . This mission determines if Alex will be able to live a normal life or not . So please once more lend me your strength . "

"No need to ask us like that . You know we treasure Alex as much as you . Also don't act like your some weak sh*t . When we had a real life and death battle before, didn't you overwhelm me with ease . " Michel started to remember that fateful day, when she met the idiotic commander of hers .

"That was a long time ago, and I still had both my legs . " Carlo answered while shrugging his shoulders .

"Alex is my disciple, and you are my friend of course I will help" Ryu answered .

"Well Alex is like a son to me, and Rachel does seem kinda sorta fond of him . As long as they don't go beyond what is allowed then it's alright . . . If they do cross that line, then I might need to do something a bit extreme . . . Oh right, of course I will help you Carlo . You have helped me tons of times, now its my turn to help you . "

"I couldn't ask for better comrades than you guys . Alright then let me explain the operation, let's call it Operation Providence . "
