241. Endgame
“He’s got a gun! Security!” Phillip yelled while the whole room broke into panic with shrieks and screams.As people scampered to safety, Josiah Warrington vaulted over the table and pounced on Henry, knocking the gun out of his hand and pinning him to the ground.“You son of a bitch!” He rasped, punching Henry in the face until he groaned in pain with blood dripping from his broken nose.Meanwhile, Jakob rushed over to check on Alex.“Alex! We need to call an ambulance!” he cried, trying to get Alex back on his feet.But Alex got up without any help and stood up straight, shocking him completely.“I am perfectly fine. No need to call anyone.”As the guards came in, Josiah finally released a bleeding Henry from his clutches. But as they hoisted him back on his feet, Henry spat out the blood from his mouth and hissed like a maniac.“That’s what you get for playing with fire! You burn yourself, Alex Verlaine!” he yelled at the top of his lungs. “Now keep playing your little games in you
242. Stormclouds
News of the car crash traveled quickly, and by the next morning, Henry’s tragic death was all over the news.The cops involved in the incident showed up with scars and bruises, their uniforms frayed and soiled beyond recognition. It added to the authenticity of their tale, leading everyone to believe it was just a terrible accident.A few reporters and state officials connected to Henry raised questions about road safety and police protocol, accusing the department of being careless and negligent, while some even went as far as to question the integrity of the cops.However, the officers involved had already set the police van on fire, burning Henry’s body with it to prevent an autopsy.Alex used his connections to hush things up, and the case was closed after a brief surface-level investigation.However, Josiah quickly caught on, and so did Jakob.As Alex returned to Liechtenstein to survey the construction of his upcoming health resort, Josiah Warrington greeted him with a new sense
243. Consolidating Power
Finally free from all interference, Alex now had the chance to re-evaluate his businesses and get all his projects in order.With Henry Pietersen dead, his shares in the company were transferred to a trust, giving Alex complete control over the Pietersen Group of Industries.While there was some talk about this hostile takeover violating business ethics, Jakob used his media influence to paint Alex in a positive light and clear all blemishes from his name.Still, Alex knew there was going to be public backlash unless he found a way to assure both the investors as well as the old clientele about his business plans.After taking over the reins of the Pietersen Group, the first thing Alex did was shut down all oil wells in North Camerina, and as promised, he handed the land back to the native Americans without any negotiations.This gesture of goodwill not only earned him the trust of the indigenous population but also improved the public image of the company, bringing high praise from v
244. Kingmaker
Phillipe Du Monte arrived at the Golden Swing Golf Club, accompanied by just his secretary and a couple of guards, the following evening.The receptionist asked the Governor’s security team to wait outside, allowing only the man of the hour to walk inside."I have never visited this club before. My men are here to protect me from threats,” Du Monte protested, feeling unsure about going alone.But the receptionist smiled in response. “You don’t need to worry about your safety. This club is owned by Mr. Akaash Patel, and we have cameras in every corner. It’s also a stone’s throw away from the local police precinct. And Mr. Patel already has his guards posted at all key entrances and exits. You are completely safe here.”Seeing there was no point in arguing, Du Monte finally asked his guards to wait outside and walked in alone.“At least I can go with—”His secretary tried to butt in, but was stopped by the receptionist.“I am sorry, but you’ll have to wait as well.”One of Akaash’s most
245. A give-and-take policy
Alex’s demand surprised the Governor. He had expected Alex to ask for some favor which would help him expand his businesses, but the demand for a position on his cabinet came completely out of the blue.Du Monte furrowed his brow, and his expression turned serious.“I have already done a lot for you. Helped you acquire that plot in Washington Square, track down the men who tried to kill you, and even bring down Henry Pietersen. You were supposed to help me win the elections in return.”“And I have been doing just that. Glenmonte, Liechtenstein, New Nevada, and Nexus City are all yours. But if you want me to sway the people of Cobalt Cove in your favor, I am afraid I am going to need a little incentive.”“Not so little after all,” Du Monte muttered, wiping his forehead. “You must understand that I am answerable to the people. And I have obligations to other members of my party and their associates. I can’t just offer a cabinet position to anyone so readily.”“I understand perfectly. Bu
246. A breath of fresh air
Back in her cozy poolside villa, near her private research facility high up in the Northern Mountains, Dr. Lucy was staring at her reflection in the mirror and mentally rehearsing the lines that she had prepared for the dinner date.She had known Alex longer than anyone else around him. Yet, she had always seen him as a mentor and a guide.But what had started as admiration and adoration had gradually turned into something more. Something far deeper.Her heart was now restless, and she could no longer suppress her feelings. She had fallen for him harder than she had imagined possible.However, she still didn’t have the faintest idea whether Alex shared her feelings, or if he even knew they existed in her heart.Inhaling the cool air, she looked deep into her glassy countenance and tried hard not to tremble, but her heart fluttered at the mere thought of sitting across the table with Alex and discussing anything other than business or medicine.As she struggled with her feelings, she w
247. Rooftop Mayhem
Alex had come out on this dinner date to relax and enjoy a peaceful night with Dr. Lucy. But he realized that he had let his guard down at the worst possible time.Someone wanted him dead, and the bullet had barely missed its mark. And the worst part was that Dr. Lucy was still with him, putting her at even more risk.As Alex lay on the floor of the rooftop, hunched over Dr. Lucy, another shot rang out from afar, shattering one of the sky lanterns dangling above.Chaos ensued in an instant as panicked screams shattered the still silence, and hurried footsteps rushed across the open rooftop.“There’s a shooter out there!”“Get to safety!”“Argh!”“Damn it! Someone calls security!”The waiters and attendants dropped their trays and rushed to cover, ducking behind the sushi bar and hibachi counter while the manager hit the floor with his head tucked between his arms.Dr. Lucy’s heart thumped inside her chest as she lay on the ground, her eyes fixed on Alex as she threw her arms around hi
248. The Unknown Enemy
Alex realized whoever it was, they wanted to trap him from all sides and push him into a corner. Right now, he was fighting an unknown enemy, and that’s what made it even more dangerous.Without sparing it a second thought, he merged the calls and instructed both Jakob and Samantha to meet him directly at his penthouse.By the time Alex returned to his beachside penthouse, Captain Williams had already scoped the whole area around Miyazaki and carried out discreet enquiries at the restaurant premises.Meanwhile, he had instructed a squad of elite commandos to secure Alex’s penthouse and guard him at all times.The heightened security arrangements put everyone in the household on edge. They could already guess that something was wrong, and as Alex entered with Dr. Lucy, all eyes turned to them with a growing sense of unease.Marcella rushed out to greet him, her eyes reflecting the same fear that she’d beheld many years ago.“What’s going on, Master Alex? Have those soldiers come for yo
249. The Brotherhood
This was the first time Alex had heard about the Brotherhood. Having gotten used to his tame life as a quiet home husband, he hadn’t explored the depths of Glenmonte’s underworld for years. But now his sheltered existence had come back to bite him like a bitch.More than the Brotherhood, what interested Alex, rather viciously, was the sniper rifle placed on the table before him.It was a highly customized Ruger Precision Rifle coated in tactical gray paint with the letters KRW inscribed on its handguard in sleek green letters.Alex ran this thumb along the handguard and remarked with all the sincerity of a gun merchant, “Laser-engraved initials. Probably a mark left by the one who customized the rifle.”As he continued to analyze the sniper, Samantha and Jakob sat there, caught between feelings of curiosity and terror.“A titanium bolt with a customized titanium shroud, vertical grip, hybrid compensator for better recoil control and accuracy, complete with a double-set hair trigger,”
250. Darker Connections
The next day, Alex reached GE Energy’s headquarters in New Nevada right at the stroke of dawn. Only this time, he wasn’t accosted by the guards but was welcomed by Sven’s most trusted assistants.Sven was already waiting in a dimly illuminated conference room when Alex entered. Looking at his face, Sven quickly understood that he was dead serious and not in the mood to waste a single second.“Leave us. And make sure we aren’t disturbed,” Sven instructed his assistant before standing up to greet Alex. “Please have a seat, Commander. Would you like a drink, perhaps?”“Spare me the formalities. I am not here to discuss business, Sven,” Alex retorted as he approached the table and found his way to the chair facing right across the table. “I need information. What do you know about the Brotherhood? Spill everything.”Although Sven had ties to several sinister organizations and deep connections with the most reckless warlords, even he seemed a little reluctant to speak about the Brotherhood
