395. Master of Manipulation
As Alex walked out of the jet ski shop, Captain Williams followed reluctantly like a fading shadow.“You have changed, Commander,” he finally spoke up. “I am sorry, Commander, but I never expected you to…just order the execution of an unarmed young girl.”Alex stopped in his tracks, but didn’t turn around.“You have a lot to learn, Captain. Perhaps, you need to pay more attention.”Years ago, Captain Williams had seen a hero in Xander, but now, after witnessing his cold-blooded brutality, he felt his illusions shattering around him.He couldn’t help but ask in a shaky voice.“Why did you have to kill that innocent girl? Is this what we are fighting for, Commander?”“He didn’t kill anyone, you slowpoke,” Raziya chuckled from behind as she came out of the jet ski store. “You really need to be paying more attention.”“What?” Captain Williams looked all confused. “I saw Terence shoot the girl in the head.”“You saw exactly what I wanted you to see.” Alex turned around and smirked. “All th
394. Cold-blooded Killer
The following night, as Saldano Chavez prepared to close up shop and return home, Raziya tipped Captain Williams off.The phantom squad moved in like shadows, neutralizing the guards around the shop with precise taser shots.Meanwhile, Raziya launched an EMP rocket at the nearest telecom tower, disrupting cellphone connectivity across the whole beach.The very next moment, all the lights turned off as Raziya cut the power.Saldano sensed something was off and tried to call for backup, but his calls refused to connect.“Remy? Willis?” he shouted. “What’s happening out there?”Frustrated and pissed, Saldano pulled out his gun.He was about to head out the front door when Raziya ambushed him from the side, kicking him in the shin and knocking the gun out of his hand.Captain Williams followed up right on cue, dragging Saldano back into the jet ski store.“You bastards have no idea who I am! Let go of me!”“I think we do,” Captain Williams replied cold and composed. “You are Saldano Chave
393. Beachside Stakeout
Raziya headed straight to Costa Verde Beach on her dirt bike. She parked it outside one of the several shake shacks, blending in with the rest of the young crowd.From out there, she had a clear line of sight, giving her a perfect view of the jet ski store with the surfboards hanging out front.“I am at the beach, Commander. No sign of Saldano yet,” she relayed into her wireless.“Stay posted and don’t create a ruckus. You need to nab him quietly without raising any alarms. If he alerts anyone else, the whole mission will be ruined.”“Roger that. Going silent.”***While Raziya was scoping out the jet ski store, waiting for the target to show up, Alex was checking the digital map, marking down all the piers, harbors, and ports.Since flying into Alexandria was going to require several documents and checks, he had a hunch that the militants were going to use the waterway instead.Taking out the Lazarus heads was the best way to deal with the problem once and for all, but in case Sven’s
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
