191. Hounded and Cornered
Alex’s promise of getting the Governor re-elected for the next term was enough to set the wheels rolling.On Governor Phillipe Du Monte’s orders, the National Guard was deployed all across the state, tasked with the job of securing all major airports and train stations.While it would cause a scandal to use the country’s military resources to launch a manhunt just on the whim of a businessman, the Governor knew how to work his way around it.Instead of revealing that Mikhail was the one responsible for the hit-and-run, he issued a notice that the guy was an international spy who was trying to flee Alexandria with sensitive information.This was the perfect ruse to tighten the border security and prevent Mikhail from crossing the state lines.However, Alex knew that if Mikhail couldn’t get out of Valestra, his next option would be to flee to another city and go into hiding.But what Alex didn’t know was that someone else was already on Mikhail’s tail, ready to take him out at the first
190. The Hunt
In a cheap motel just on the outskirts of Sheraton County, the trucker, Mikhail Lesinski, was shaving his rugged beard in front of a cracked mirror. His sunken cheeks and lightless eyes made him look more like a ghost than a living, breathing man.Henry Pietersen had just transferred half the promised amount to his account and sent a final text from an unknown number, instructing him not to leave the country, but stay off the streets.Mikhail knew that Alex was a huge name in the business world, and an attempt on his life was bound to create an uproar.To avoid getting himself caught up in this mess, Mikhail had planned to fly out of Alexandria the very same night. But Henry had stopped him, insisting that he needed to confirm the target was dead before getting his full payment.And so Mikhail had found safe shelter inside this dodgy motel, 300 miles from Liechtenstein.He had already dumped the trailer truck and changed into new clothes to avoid getting caught, and now he was plannin
189. The cloudy truth
Alex knew someone had ordered the hit on him. But his growing list of old enemies and new business rivals made it difficult to trace the man responsible without tracking the trucker down.Captain Williams didn’t need any secondary encouragement. Alex’s words were enough to spur him into action.“I’ll track him down to the ends of the earth if I have to. And when I find that bastard, I’m going to put a bullet in his head!”“No!” Alex cut in sharply. “I want him alive. I need to know who ordered the hit. Bring him to me and let me handle the rest.”“Acknowledged!”With that, Captain Williams stormed out of the room, already calling his elite commandos on his way out.“Alex, you really need to rest!” Dr. Lucy called out from behind, rushing to Alex’s side. “You just underwent multiple surgeries. It’s barely been five hours since the accident. The doctors still need to monitor you and make sure everything is okay.”“I am fine. I am not like the rest of—”Alex’s words were cut short by a s
188. Worth the risk?
Samantha sent her most trusted man to deliver the God Serum to the Warrington Memorial Hospital, with strict instructions to maintain complete secrecy and hand the ultra-light case only to Dr. Lucy.As the package arrived, escorted by armed security guards, it caused quite a stir in the modest hospital.Even Josiah Warrington felt intrigued by the Kronos Tech uniforms marching up the corridor.“What’s going on? Who are they?” he asked.“I can’t explain right now. But I need your help. We need a room and complete privacy!” Dr. Lucy blurted out before hurrying to prepare Jakob. “I need to warn you…there could be side effects. If things go south, we’ll airlift you to Kronos Tech for a critical evaluation.”Even though Jakob wanted to help Alex in every way possible, Dr. Lucy’s grim warning made him just uneasy enough to second-guess his decision.“Have you used this God Serum on anyone else before? I mean, anyone besides Alex?” he asked with a doubtful expression.“Alex wanted the serum
187. The God Serum Dilemma
“What on earth is a God Serum?” Jakob asked, staring cluelessly at Dr. Lucy.“It’s a serum that I created to fix Alex,” Dr. Lucy mumbled back, trying her best to be as discreet as possible.But the astounding lack of information made Jakob suspicious.“What do you mean by ‘fix Alex’?” he asked. “What exactly was wrong with him?”Although the question had a simple answer, Dr. Lucy knew that if she replied honestly, it would expose Alex’s true identity and reveal all his secrets.And that was a risk she wasn’t willing to take.“You don’t need to know all that. Let’s just say Alex was sick…very sick, and I treated him with the God Serum.”“You seriously expect me to believe that?” Jakob asked as he stared at her incredulously. “I don’t like being treated like an outsider. If you want my help, then you need to spill the beans.”“It’s not like that. You just don’t understand—”“You can’t be in here!”Even before Dr. Lucy could finish, a couple of surgeons walked into the room, accompanied
186. Bound by blood
As the minutes ticked by, Alex’s condition worsened inside the ICU.The senior visiting doctor and the chief surgeon consulted with a trauma care specialist, while a nurse carefully monitored Alex’s failing vitals.“The patient’s heart rate is rising, and his blood pressure is dropping!”The consulting specialist immediately turned to look at Alex, who was now gasping for breath even though the oxygen mask was firmly attached to his face.“We need to stabilize him. Start an LR solution and administer dopamine stat!”The visiting senior doctor looked on as the nurses rushed to change IV fluids and prepare a dopamine shot."The patient’s condition doesn’t look too good to me. And I fear Josiah Warrington is going to kill us if anything happens to him. We need to give him blood. Reach out to all hospitals, blood banks, and even those illegal clinics if you have to.”The surgeon realized the gravity of the situation and nodded.“It’s going to be difficult to get AB-negative blood on such
