Alex remained calm. He had already endured enough humiliation for two years to be bothered by a few rude words from a stranger.

Dr. Lucy, however, became furious. She was not going to stand there and let a little fry like Blake insult her mentor.

“You are crossing your limits, Blake. Know your place!” she snapped back, snubbing him. “The man standing before you is the one they call the Miracle Maker. He can cure every known disease and even teach a cripple how to walk.”

Blake, however, refused to believe a single word. He kept staring at Alex with suspicious eyes.

Just then, a beautiful young lady entered the room. Her youthful eyes still had the spark of life in them, unlike the dreary eyes of the others in the room.

She was none other than Elizabeth Warrington, the oldest daughter of Josiah Warrington, and Blake was her estranged cousin.

Since Josiah Warrington was Edgar Warrington’s only surviving son, he was next in line to get all their estates and factories, but Blake and his f

    Alex’s eyes blazed as he heard that voice ringing in his ears. He realized he had made a terrible mistake by going easy on Logan and giving him a second chance.“Come on, Mr. Verlaine. Are you dead already?” Logan yelled from downstairs. “It’s not going to be fun if you go down so easily. I wanna see the same tough-talking bastard I met back home!”Three masked men wearing black shirts and armed with hunting rifles and shotguns moved in through the open rooftop balcony overlooking the shattered window and stepped into the bedroom like shadows.“The bed’s empty. Where is he?”“Check the closet and the bathroom. He was definitely here.”“Got it, boss!”The first man moved toward the closet and pulled its door open. But it was all empty inside, save for the neatly arranged suits and ties.“Closet’s empty. He is not here.”The second guy vaulted over the bed and beamed his flashlight across the room, scanning the whole area.“Nothing’s moving here as well.”The third guy shuffled around t

  • 275. Misplaced priorities

    The call from Godrick added another dangerous variable to the already complicated equation, escalating Alex’s problems.Although Alex had already visited Wickerville and done everything to sort the matter diplomatically with Michael Marston, he had his doubts about Logan bending to his father’s will. And now it became amply clear to him that the prodigal son was out for revenge.Captain Williams quickly noticed the change in Alex’s expression, and it darkened his own visage.“Is something wrong, Commander?”“Not yet. But I expect something to go wrong very soon,” Alex replied.“The Brotherhood?” Raziya piped.“The Brotherhood is already there on my mind, Raziya, but now we have something else to deal with,” Alex replied before turning to Captain Williams. “Captain, I need your best commandos posted around Kronos Tech and Femme Fatale. We need to beef up security arrangements. And when that’s done, I want you to take your Phantom Squad with you and travel to the Northern Mountains. Pro

    Unaware of Raziya’s little trick, the Manager led Alex straight to the Brotherhood’s secret hideout.Alex tapped on the holographic display and zoomed in on the street where the blinking beacon had finally stopped.A magnified street view helped him pinpoint the location with perfect accuracy.It was a narrow two-way street named Kerling Cross.Alex magnified the holographic display once more and tapped on the legends to get access to the names of the nearby places of interest.A single name popped up on his smart glasses: Reddington Towers.Alex took a screenshot and immediately emailed it to Godrick along with the numbers on the sedan’s plate.Ten minutes later, Godrick called back on his private number.“What do you have for me?” Alex asked.“Reddington Towers is the main office of a consultancy firm. They specialize in IT and Data Analytics. The office is registered under the company, ‘RCS’, owned jointly by Pierre Fromin and Bernetta Wayne.”“A consultancy firm,” Alex repeated. “

    Marcus reached Denny’s Diner right on the stroke of midnight, getting down from his cab a mile down the road and making the rest of the journey on foot to avoid raising alarms.The Diner had the closed signboard out front, but Marcus knew it was just another trick to keep the public at bay.Remembering his first briefings, he walked up to the front door and knocked thrice, each succeeding one at two-second intervals.After the third and final knock, the door parted slightly, and a gruff voice spoke from the other side.“The diner is closed. Read the sign.”“I am here for a quick smoke,” Marcus replied.Hearing the secret code, the muscular guy in the black tee unlatched the door and held it open before stepping to one side.“The Jackal has been expecting you. Please come in.”Marcus walked straight in and made his way through the maze of old wooden tables and stout steel chairs to reach a man dressed in a black suit and red tie, wearing a pair of dark blue shades.He was surrounded by

    Raziya emerged from the interrogation room with a blowtorch in hand and a victorious smile playing on her narrow auburn lips.“Careful with that thing,” Captain Williams cautioned, eyeing her still flaming blowtorch.“Oh, my apologies. It seems I got carried away.” Raziya turned the flame off and put the blowtorch down before reporting to Alex. “The scorpion has finally lost his venom. He cracked and spilled everything he knew.”As they listened closely, Raziya furnished all the details that Marcus had provided her. However, she insisted that they interrogate their captive again at a later time to see if they could wring out additional information.“Thank you, Raziya. You did well. But I don’t think our friend can handle another sit-down with you. Now it’s time to act upon the information and dig up their hideout.”Raziya crossed her heart with her left fist and bowed before stepping back. “Just give the order, and I will terminate the little scorpion right away.”“Taking out a few hi

    Inside a secure underground bunker at an unknown location, Raziya stood upright in her zipped-up black cardigan and saluted Alex as he entered with Captain Williams at his side.“It’s an honor to stand in your presence again, Supreme Commander! Raziya Durrani reporting for active duty!”Alex looked at her and nodded approvingly. “I am glad you could show up on such short notice. You have done me a great favor, and for that I shall always be grateful.”Raziya’s stone-faced military discipline and professionalism quickly gave way to enthusiastic adoration as her heart leaped just by hearing the high praise from Alex.“The honor is all mine, Commander!” She exclaimed, admiring Alex with her kohl-smitten hazel eyes.Alex turned to Captain Williams and proceeded promptly with the introductions.“Captain, I would like you to meet Raziya Durrani, the fabled Sand Viper from the East. She has been a valuable asset to me during my most critical anti-insurgency and assassination operations. And
