392. Antisocial
Captain Williams and the top members of his Phantom Squad reached Red View Avenue in the middle of the night and parked across the street, overlooking Future Tech’s main office.Kurtis Walker was on the night shift for the company, making it the perfect chance for them to pick him up.Captain Williams had a second squad posted near the emergency exit out back, consisting of two spotters on the roof and a biker.“Fields? Reynolds? Report.”“Everything seems quiet, Captain,” Fields replied from the rooftop.“No sign of movement on the street,” Reynolds replied. “Will keep you posted.”After an hour’s wait as the clock struck 2, the front gate finally opened, and a young man dressed in a black suit and a red tie stepped out of the premises.“That’s him. That’s our man!” Captain Williams alerted the rest of his team. “Disable the cameras!”His squad mates on the rooftop immediately detonated two EMP charges, taking out all unshielded electronic devices in the area.Kurtis was waiting for
391. Preventive Measures
Alex reviewed the security measures himself, ensuring there were no gaps anywhere and every person on the security detail had a clean background.“I need you to keep this to yourself, Samantha. No need to cause any unnecessary panic.”But Samantha was already panicking herself and could barely keep herself together.“How can I not?” she blurted. “I am not a military expert like you. I am just a simple businesswoman. I don’t know how to deal with such a situation.”“If things go as planned, then you might not have to deal with anything,” Alex replied. “But it’s always better to be safe than sorry,” he cautioned.“And who are these enemies?” She asked right as Alex was about to leave. “Are they your business rivals?”“Far worse,” Alex replied. “We are dealing with an organized group of militants backed by Valheim.”The color drained from Samantha’s face instantly.“Militants?” She gasped.“Lazarus to be exact,” Alex replied. “But I need you to keep your calm. As long as I am here, I won
390. Multiple Targets
In under ten minutes, the post exploded with comments and reactions, racking the engagement numbers beyond all plausible limits.As the notifications pinged Godrick’s computer like a hailstorm, Captain Williams and Raziya looked at it in awestruck wonder.“What on earth did you even post?” Captain Williams asked, eyeing the 200+ notifications stacked up on the on-screen bell.Godrick cracked his fingers and leaned back.“It’s just an engaging piece of content, or in other words, perfect rage-bait!”Raziya moved closer and watched as Godrick played the 30-second video he had posted, branding Lazarus as a cowardly group of losers who enjoyed butchering innocents and committing acts of terror purely for money.His post split the internet, breaking it into two groups: those calling for international action against Lazarus and others who were defending the organization, calling the members of the group freedom fighters who fought against oppression.“I can’t believe there are people who’d
389. The Cyber Bait
Alex had already suspected an internal racket helping the enemy nation, and Sven’s words confirmed what he thought.It wasn’t a war anymore, but a fight against the enemies of the state conspiring within its own borders.“Commander, these people are not playing around. They have ordered shipments of military-grade weapons, combat drones, and enough plastic explosive to blow up a hundred soccer fields. They are planning something huge. If we don’t act now, the effects will be catastrophic.”This was the same Sven Erickson, who just months ago had no qualms about smuggling weapons and carrying out insurrections across the world just for money.Yet things had changed completely after Alex attacked the GE Energy HQ and revealed his true identity.“Commander, are you there?” Sven repeated as Alex went silent.But Alex wasn’t afraid. He was calculating every possibility and planning his next move.“I am here, Sven. I am just surprised by your loyalty,” he replied. “One would think it would
388. Instruments of Terror
Sven realized that he had just stumbled into a terror plot.Major Monroe had no intention of mobilizing his military assets for a direct confrontation. Instead, he was planning to utilize Lazarus for a terror strike.This cunning strategy would help him bring Alexandria to its knees while keeping the international organizations off his back.Lazarus was going to do Valheim’s dirty work, leaving the peace treaty intact.Sven looked at the regions circled on the map again and asked, “These are three huge cities, especially Cobalt Cove and Glenmonte. Where exactly are you planning to strike?”“We have multiple targets in mind,” Father Frederick replied. “For now, you only need to focus on your tasks: get us the gear that we require, and help our men reach Alexandria unscathed.”Sven understood that Lazarus wasn’t too keen to share the details with an outsider.But he wasn’t ready to pull back so easily.“I need to know more. I run a company in New Nevada. It’s called GE Energies. Perhaps
387. Sinners at Service
The sun had just set over the skies of St. Gregory Island, and the street lamps had flickered into life to keep the darkness away.Inside the old St. Gregory Cathedral, located atop Nottingale Hill, the candles had been lit upon the window sills, and the grand chandelier was casting a dim white glow over the prayer hall.Seated silently in the straight wooden pews, the churchgoers were listening attentively to the bishop was preaching the word of the Lord, reminding them of the old sermons.Among them were Major Monroe and his two most trusted Colonels, Lieutenant Colonel Warwick and Colonel Tyson.As the service drew to a close, the congregation stood up and left in an organized manner.The Major and his men, however, remained seated, along with a guy sitting in a corner, wearing a broad-brimmed gray hat and an ashen overcoat.Once the others had left, the bishop instructed the priests to shut the doors and walked down from the pulpit.He approached the man in the corner, trying to s
