The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!-Chapter 404: You said not to hold back, Gramps

"Gramps, before we start, I just wanted to know. How sturdy is this training ground?" Alice asked, glancing from left to right.

They were surrounded by what looked like ash colored alloy, and it looked like the same material that was used for the walls of the meeting room.

If it were so, then the walls would definitely fall when they began to fight.

"It’s similar," Adolf said, reading her thoughts. "But it’s not. The material used for this training ground is ten times stronger than the material used for the walls in the meeting hall. Even I have a hard time making a dent in the walls since it has also been reinforced by strength and repair runes. So rest assured, it won’t break easily." He said.

He said it wouldn’t break easily, but he didn’t say it was impossible to break it. In that case, they better get ready to make some repairs because by the time they were done, there would definitely be ’some’ damage.

Besides, having runes on a building or even a single space was a great reinforcement. If she broke the walls, then she didn’t need to worry because they would automatically fix themselves once everything was over.

"In that case, I don’t have to go easy on the walls either," She smiled in relief as she cracked her knuckles, and he nodded.

"Are you ready?" Adolf asked, standing tall with his arms behind his back.

"Yes," Alice responded.

"Then, I’ll be gracious to give you the first strike, my dear." He said and then brought one hand forward, beconing her. "Come on, show me what you can do. Don’t hold back."

"If you say so,"

Alice set one foot behind and then crouched down a bit before racing towards him at a speed that no one could see. It was as if she disappeared completely from where she was standing, only to reappear behind Adolf, slowly swinging her feet at his head to give him time to react, and fortunately, he took that grace, spotted her attack, and dodged it by crouching down.

The destructive force of her kick was so great that the shocked wave actually created a dent on the wall Adolf had said was ten times stronger than the wall in the meeting hall.

And it was just the shockwave. What would happen if Alice kicked it for real?

"You said not to hold back, Gramps," Alice said, snickering in delight as she felt she could use her full strength without worry. "So, I’m going to do just that."

Adolf was stunned, but it was at this moment that he realized... Alice was definitely stronger than him.

She had given him time to react. If she didn’t, he might’ve actually been hit by her kick since he didn’t see her, nor did he feel her presence.

It was as if she had completely disappeared from the room.

Alice was strong, yes, but as for her to hide her dominating presence so perfectly, she had her jacket to thank.

It was the best for stealth.

"Gramps, if your bones are giving out, make sure to give me a heads up." Alice said, tapping the tip of her left foot on the floor.

"You don’t have to worry about this old man too much," he said, and Alice laughed.

"Alright, but I’d hate to cause you harm, so I’ll keep giving you a heads-up when I feel you need it. That’s okay?" She asked, and he hated to admit it, but it was necessary.

"Very well then. Do this old man a favor."

"Great. I’m coming in again." She yelped in excitement and, just like before, disappeared without a trace.

Adolf used his eyes and senses to figure out where she would attack from, but he wasn’t getting anything.

It was as if he had been isolated completely.

’This is tough,’ He thought, and then he felt it. Alice was going to kick again, but she was slow after revealing her presence. ’Again?’

Could he not counterattack or dodge with his own abilities?

He put up his arms, planning to take her attack this time, but it was a rather wrong move as he forcefully pushed back, his feet dragging on the floor till his back touched the wall.

"Why did you do that, gramps? You could’ve dodged instead of taking it head-on. Luckily, I held back my kick in the last second, because I felt you couldn’t take it." Alice said, looking at the ground that had two long and deep lines following Adolf’s dragged feet. fгeewebnovёl.com

"I admit I was rather careless," He said and spat out blood from his mouth. He had acquired internal injuries from Alice’s casual and held-back kick.

Had he simply gone too weak, or was she just that strong?

The people in the meeting hall watched and began to murmur.

"What’s going on? Why is the Chairman going easy on Alice?"

"It seems he’s giving her the leverage of attacking him to test her strength."

"He must have a plan. He must be testing the waters to see how much destructive force the girl carries. It’s important, you know."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

"You guys are so blind," Justin spat out hatefully. "Open your eyes and see clearly. Does that look like he is just testing the waters? He got attacked before he could understand what was going on."

"What are you talking about? How is that possible?" Surely, they wouldn’t believe that.

Justin clicked his tongue in disdain. They had no idea how much of a monster Alice was. This was just her using her physical abilities, but she was still a formidable opponent. If she decided to use her skills, then the fight would be over in five seconds.

He acknowledged that the Chairman was the strongest, but that was before he met someone like Alice.

He, too, had underestimated her, and because of that, he had been severely humiliated.

Michael scoffed from where he was sitting, swinging his feet as he listened to them all undermine Alice’s potential because they felt it was impossible for someone her age to be stronger than Adolf.

But they were yet to see anything.

How shocked would they be if they saw Alice’s full potential?

He was looking forward to it.

"Are you alright, gramps?" Alice asked, walking towards him, but he nodded, waving her off.

"This old man is fine." He said. "I’m not that worn out yet."

"I can tell but... Let’s stop here." She suggested, dropping her hands on her waist. "You know it, right? You can’t take my full strength and I... I don’t want to hurt you."

Adolf listened to her and looked down. It wasn’t arrogance or pride that made her say that, it was her genuine care for him.

If she got serious, then he would definitely get killed.

"Alright," he said. "I’ve seen enough anyway. It seems we’ll have to adjust the world’s strongest chart," he said, but Alice waved it off.

"Nah, no way. Don’t include me in that. It’ll only make me a public figure." She said and laughed. "And when that happens, I can’t go out to eat fried chicken peacefully without worrying about my face being seen by others. It would be such a bother so I think I’ll pass."
