221. Biotech Bane (2)
Haruto froze for a moment, his thoughts spiraling out of control as he stared at the guards ready to grab him.But he quickly snapped out of it, and flipped the script.“You spoke to Mr. Nakamura? Really?” Haruto scoffed. “Let me hear what he has to say. Ring him up again.”The guard had expected Haruto to panic and mumbled out an excuse, but his confidence made him question his own orders.“Go on, then. Don’t waste my time!” Haruto snapped with authority.The guard reluctantly called up Nakamura’s secretary and put him on the line.“There is a man right here, named Haruto Kobayashi. He says he was sent by Mr. Nakamura for an inspection.”The secretary quickly replied, “There was no such plan.”Haruto immediately hijacked the conversation.“And how would you even know about it?” he jumped straight into the act. “This is about the God Serum Crisis! Would you like me to spill the details to everyone out here? Will that make your job easier?”Realizing, Haruto knew about their recent pro
220. Biotech Bane
While Alex prepared to venture into the Faretta Valley for a once-in-a-lifetime hunting expedition, Haruto drove to Grevin Canyon, his mind focused on the singular task of entering Astro Nova’s biotech lab without raising any alarms.Since Haruto was close to the CEO himself, the guards at the main gate allowed him to pass without any questions.Once inside the compound, he became the center of attention for all the security cameras twitching on the walls and the reconnaissance drones flying overhead.However, Haruto maintained a stern calm and moved with purpose. Presenting his ID at the second door, he stepped inside without making any eye contact.The guards posted around the perimeter were a part of Astro Nova’s own security team, and were happy to while away their time smoking cigarettes and gossiping about trivial matters and workplace politics.However, the men standing guard inside the lab were trigger-happy mercenaries hired from a private security firm.They neither gossiped
219. The spillover
Alex’s problems had just compounded with the God Serum falling into the wrong hands. And now he was stuck dealing with two adversaries at once.Henry Pietersen had already sent assassins after him twice now, and it was only a matter of time before he learned the truth about his recovery and decided to pull another dirty trick.However, the bigger concern right now was Astro Nova’s involvement in the God Serum crisis.Not only had Nakamura’s men sabotaged the original God Serum, but also started their own project to develop a better version of it. But things had gone from bad to worse with the failed animal trials.The following morning, Alex called Dr. Lucy and Captain Williams to discuss the situation and plan ahead before making the next move.Hearing everything, Dr. Lucy couldn’t help but wonder if Alex had done the right thing by trusting the man who had sabotaged the God Serum in the first place.“This Haruto guy sounds like a slippery fish. Are you sure he isn’t just going to ra
218. Trial and Terror
Staring down the barrels of a dozen rifles pointed at his head, Haruto didn’t have the heart to resist. He crumbled like a loose brick under pressure and puked the truth, bringing down the whole tower of lies.As Alex pulled off the tape from Haruto’s mouth, he burst out, “I’ll tell you everything. Please just don’t kill me! They made me do it!”“Who?”“Hideo Nakamura,” Haruto blurted without hesitation. “He paid me to steal the serum from Kronos Tech’s laboratory.”“And who told them about this serum? It was supposed to be a highly secretive project. How did Nakamura know what was cooking in that underground lab?”“He suspected something the moment your company announced the new healing gels to the public. That gave Mr. Nakamura reason to believe that Kronos Tech was working on something even more revolutionary. A possible cure for cancer or a vaccine for AIDS!”Alex lowered his gun. “Go on.”“Mr. Nakamura’s secretary helped me forge a fake ID and prepare a highly polished CV with al
217. The Inside Man
Dr. Lucy had developed the God Serum solely to help Alex get rid of his lethal genetic mutations and regain his powers.But Alex knew it could unleash chaos if it fell into the wrong hands. And now, two vials of the original God Serum were missing, and the person responsible for the theft and sabotage was cozying up to Astro Nova, a medical equipment manufacturer who had only recently acquired a biotech firm.Without any solid proof, Alex couldn’t go after the CEO of Astro Nova, but the guy who had stolen from Kronos Tech was perfectly within his grasp.Alex immediately rang up Captain Williams and informed him about his new mission.“Godrick found the guy who tampered with the God Serum. He is roaming around Astro Nova’s main office on Cygnus Boulevard.”“Roget that! I’ll take him out. He’s not going anywhere!”“That’s a negative, Captain!” Alex shot back. “We need to nab him alive. He has the original virus that was used to contaminate the serum. And Lucy needs it to develop the ant
216. On the serum trail
That same night, Alex left the Apache village, but he didn’t drive back to the hospital. Instead, he made his way to the main office of Kronos Tech and went straight up to Samantha’s private cabin on the seventh floor.Seeing Alex flitting around at this late hour, when he should have been at the hospital, shocked her.“Mr. Verlaine…I didn’t know you were coming,” she stuttered, rising to her feet. “Did I do something wrong?”“Nothing to worry about. It’s just that I need a small favor from you.”Samantha looked at him, clueless and concerned. “What is it?”Alex tossed his blood-stained kerchief on the table. “I want you to run tests on this blood sample. Analyze the DNA in detail, and let me know what you find.”Samantha shuddered at the sight, the metallic tang almost making her puke. Still, she clenched her nails and shut her lips tight, nodding in agreement.Alex could tell Samantha was nervous. After all, it wasn’t every day someone delivered a blood sample on a kerchief.“This i
