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
386. Lazarus Rising
Major Monroe and Lazarus teaming up together was the last thing Alex needed.Even though he didn’t know their real plans, he was certain that it involved an attack on Alexandria.All his business negotiations could wait, but he needed to deal with this threat before it spiraled out of control. Without wasting another precious second, Alex put an abrupt end to their meeting.“I need to leave. Something urgent has just come up. Let’s talk more when I’m free.”Alex left with Edgar Warrington in a hurry, leaving Adam Vanderbilt full of questions.On his way, he dropped Edgar at the Warrington Estate before heading back to Glenmonte.Alex had already notified Raziya and Captain Williams, calling an emergency meeting to discuss the sudden threat.As Alex arrived at this private villa in a secluded part of the city, men in pinstriped black suits saluted him and stood aside.Inside the secure conference room on the second floor, Raziya and Captain Williams were already waiting for him.“We ca
385. A Tale as Old as Time
Alex and Edgar arrived at the gates of the Vanderbilt Estate right as the sun was about to set.Under the mellow twilight haze, Edgar stared at the stone-walled mansion as if it were some monument of terror, with its Victorian archways, Dorian pilasters, and tinted glass windows.The guards at the gate blocked their path.“Outsiders aren’t allowed here. This is private property. Please state your business.”Edgar sniggered in their faces.“We are here to see the man of the house. And I suggest you move aside unless you want to end up six feet below the dirt.”Having spent a considerable time in the province, the guards knew who Edgar Warrington was and quickly realized he wasn’t buying their little act of toughness.“We are only doing our job,” one of them whimpered.“Yeah, Mr. Edgar. We can’t let you in without permission.”At this moment, Adam Vanderbilt walked onto his front porch, smoking his old clay pipe.“Ah, look who’s here. My old friend!” He exclaimed, puffing out a cloud of
