146. No half measures
Alex’s shrewd and bold plan of kidnapping Tyrell’s son was playing out perfectly. Even though Tyrell held power over the whole crypto market and effectively controlled the whole city, none of his connections could track down Jayden.Terence had used EMP jammers to block all security cameras around the nightclub and disposed of their getaway car in a junkyard to get rid of all the tracks.Meanwhile, Captain Williams had arranged the perfect hideout spot in a secret military bunker, keeping Jayden safe and secure.Tyrell’s men had scoured every pub, club, and local gang den, searching for Terence and his crew of thugs.But Alex had sent Terence’s whole family out of the city, flying them off to a private resort in the northern part of Alexandria, where they were accommodated as Governor Du Mont’s special guests.The Chief of Police had already taken the matter into his own hands since it was a high-profile case, but his initial investigation led to so many uncomfortable questions about
145. Three steps ahead
In all these years, no one had ever dared to even throw a pebble at Red Shroom, but now the company’s data centers were burning like bonfires, and its supplies were sleeping with the fish at the bottom of the ocean.Tyrell was out for blood, but he had no idea that the man who had gone after him was no small wolf, but a fearless lion who didn’t care about his status or influence.Alex had decided that he had stayed quiet long enough, but now it was time to take the bull by the horns instead of waiting in the shadows.Captain Williams had secured a secret military facility deep under the heart of Nexus. And it was here that Jayden Jameson was being held, under the watchful gaze of Terence Mancuso and his men.On Tyrell’s orders, the captain of the elite Black Viper unit combed the whole city with his soldiers, checking every hideout linked to the crypto mafia. But he found no sign of either Terence or his lackeys.At half past midnight, Captain Grayson returned empty-handed, wearing a
144. Blood for blood
Jayden Jameson gasped for breath as he opened his eyes to the bright glow of an incandescent bulb right over his head.A shadowy figure had just pulled off the sack covering his face, and another pair of arms had pushed him onto a chair, tying his hands tightly to the wooden frame.Still confused and utterly unaware of where he was, Jayden squinted his eyes and took deep breaths.“What’s going on? Who are you?” he asked in a quivering voice, quickly snapping out of his drunken stupor. “Where…am I?”“You ask too many questions,” a rugged voice replied from the other end of the room.Even though Jayden couldn’t see the face of his captor with the bright light stinging his eyes, he could faintly make out the blurry outline of a man dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a black hat.“You don’t even realize what kind of fatal mistake you’ve made by abducting me. Do you even know who I am?” Jayden’s voice rang out loud and sharp as he tried to wrest some control by intimidating his captors.Bu
143.The sins of the father
Jayden Jameson and his friends pulled up to the Glitz nightclub in their shiny new Lamborghinis just as the sun was about to set.He was escorted by two black sedans packed with bodyguards armed with submachine guns and equipped with the latest wireless ear pods and smart goggles.Elizabeth’s sudden disappearance after the last date had shattered Jayden’s heart and sent him spiraling into a deep pit of depression. He had tried everything from social media to calling and texting all her numbers without success.Heartbroken and distraught with himself, Jayden was ready to drown his sorrows in alcohol, and to keep things private, he had booked the whole nightclub.“Forget that girl, Jay. You can get a million like her lined up at your door,” Will said, putting an arm around Jayden.But Jayden hissed back like an annoyed viper. “She was one in a million! How many girls do you know who can spend a billion on a whim?” Rolling his eyes, he scoffed, “That’s more money than your dad owes the b
142. To trap a bear
Alex was now engaged on multiple fronts. The legal battle ensuing behind the closed doors of the courtroom had already started spilling out on the front pages of every newspaper and television screens.While most sympathized with Alex due to Jakob’s influence over the media agencies, some still found ways to defame him by constantly mentioning the hostile takeovers and his failed marriage.However, the biggest hurdle for Alex wasn’t fending off the media crews or the questions from the public prosecutor. It was trapping the big bear of the crypto market.The plan for abducting Tyrell’s only son, Jayden, was all set. But he knew one slip-up could cost him dearly and endanger the lives of all his companions and connections.Alex spent the next few days learning about Red Shroom Corporation and their biggest investors and partners.From the articles available online, it seemed like Tyrell Jameson preferred to work alone, and every new launch from his company was shrouded in mystery.Howe
141. Out for Blood
Terence was the last man Alex was expecting right now. Enrico had already advised him to cut all ties with the crypto mafia, but trouble had just come running to him.“I think I told you not to contact me again. Why the hell did you come here?” Alex asked, frowning in the doorway.“It’s all very easy for you to say. But I lost my cousin!” Terence grumbled, clenching his fist. He no longer bowed his head but looked straight at Alex. “First, you came along and got us involved with the wrong guy, and now my whole family is in danger. You can’t walk away from this one so easily, Alex Verlaine!”“What exactly do you want from me?” Alex asked, glaring right back.“Revenge!” Terence exclaimed, gnashing his teeth. “Those bastards who killed poor Bobby deserve the same fate. I am going to riddle them with bullets and bury you in a mass grave!”“Go ahead then. Do what you think will give you peace.” Alex was about to close the door in their faces when Terence stopped him.“I came here asking fo
