Chapter 66


Alex couldn't hear what Dan was saying, all he heard was something buzzing in his ear . Not knowing what was said Alex couldn't answer . Alex was trying his best to understand what Dan was saying, but try as he might he was still unable to do so . Dan who saw Alex was not responding to his question, asked him once more, "do you like my daughter?"


Alex couldn't understand most of the words, and his vision was failing him, so he couldn't read Dan's lips . In truth Alex didn't sleep for two days now because the anxiety was eating at him, added with the loss of stamina, he was barely hanging on .


Still Alex was trained to the limit, so this much was still bearable for him . Dan kept on repeating the question, unaware of Alex's current hardships . Dan wanted to hear Alex's answer no matter what . Alex on the other hand could only hear bits of what Dan said .


In Alex's mind he thought he heard Dan say something like, 'Do you like me?' Why would Dan ask something like that? Alex couldn't comprehend why Dan would ask something like that now, at this moment before meeting his family . . . Still if Dan Regius one of his instructors ask him such a question, then there must be some meaning to it .


"Yup I do, we're like family . " Alex smiled at Dan .


Dan hearing Alex's answer and looking at his innocent like smile, was stunned . 'Alex thinks of her as family? Does that mean she's like a little sister to him? Nah based on their emotional maturity I guess, Alex will be the little brother . . . Well I did treat Alex like he was one of my sons . . . We all did . . . '


Dan sighed in relief, it seems like he didn't need to kill Alex after all . Alex didn't like his daughter as a woman . He simply treats his daughter as a sister of sorts . Dan looked at the smiling Alex, and finally noticed that his consciousness was coming and going .


"Hey Alex are you sure you're up for this? I can go by myself you know . " Dan who got the answer he wanted, was now starting to worry for Alex's health . Even though moments ago, Dan wanted nothing to do but destroy Alex's health and everything about him .


Alex couldn't hear much of what Dan was saying, as he was really trying to make himself stay awake . His consciousness was flickering between being asleep, and being awake . It was then that he finally noticed the time, it was 03:28 already, if they don't leave now, the might get there late . Alex had no more time to take a bath, so he just changed his uniform to a clean one . After getting changed Alex sprinted out of the room .


Dan didn't need to hear Alex's answer as he saw him running out . 'The kid will always stick to his orders, until told otherwise by that guy . ' Dan knowing Alex's particular quirks, gave up on letting him rest, and started running after him .


Alex's body was heavier than he thought , suddenly bursting out running, took more of his stamina than he anticipated . Normally even in such a situation, Alex would be thinking rationally, yet now because of his anxiety, Alex was not thinking straight . Alex couldn't understand why he was being anxious in the first place .


Alex was now slowing down as he tried to catch his breath, Dan was right beside him . The two had actually already arrive in front of Rachel's house . Alex was still trying to regain some of his stamina, as Dan looks at the house his family lives in .


Dan couldn't remember most of anything, but he was sure that this was his home . The plaque saying ultimate made him feel like he was meant to be here .


Dan couldn't contain his excitement anymore, and shouted at the top of his voice . "Hey you lot! Come on out! The master of the house has returned!"


Alex who was feeling floaty, covered his ears because of Dan's loud voice . It didn't really help Alex wake up, but it did surprise him .


The other neighbors were irritated, and tried to look for the person who shouted, but when they saw that the man was in front of the dojo, the people all hurried back inside their homes . Who among them didn't know about the ultimate dojo's infamy .


One time there was a biker gang that wanted to mess with them . The gang composed of hundreds of people flooded the streets, once they entered the dojo they all lost . The group of hundreds couldn't stand up to the three brothers, but what scared them the most was the witch inside the dojo .


The neighbors were sure something big was about to happen, but they couldn't rely on the police for this situation because they didn't want to get involved with the people of the dojo . So the neighbors decided to not bother with it anymore and went back to sleep .


Hearing the loud shout, Joseph, Roland, Gabby, Rachel and Kumiko immediately started running to the front door . When they saw the man in front of them, the Regius family members stood there completely stunned . The minds of the family blacked out for a moment .


Dan who saw them came running out of the dojo smiled . These people are his family . Even though he can't remember who they were, Dan felt a deep connection between them .


The Regius family finally got their bearings back, and was now sure that the man in front of them was the missing Dan Regius . The family wanted to rush at him and hug him tightly, except for Rachel who had a multitude of mixed emotions .


Dan seeing their stunned expressions smiled viciously and gestured them to come . When Kumiko saw this gesture of his, she remembered what kind of man her husband was . The three brothers understood this gesture as well, the only one who couldn't understand what was going on was Rachel . She was too young when her father disappeared, so she knows little to none about the man .
