480. Breakthrough
Alex’s plan was immediately put into action.All the medical equipment and pharmaceutical supplies were shipped into the city on separate cargo planes and delivered to the cartel.Having smuggled psychoactive substances and illegal firearms all his life, Xavier had no trouble arranging for the dispersal of these non-contrabands.Soon, the cartel’s deep network kicked into overdrive, connecting to every hospital, clinic, and medical store in Nuevo Durango.But they didn’t stop there.Once Nuevo Durango had been stocked full of supplies from Kronos Tech and Salasar, the cartel stepped up its efforts and started ferrying the goods out to Hannington and even Clover Dale.Governor Morton was already too pleased to hear that Alex’s licenses and permits had been rejected. And he was relishing the victory too much to bother with anything else.However, Raymond Smith still called him up, asking him to keep an eye on Alex.Alex was happy with the progress the cartel had made so far.Even though
479. The Ivera Business Plan
Governor Morton’s face blanched as he read that threatening note.He didn’t even have to wonder who it was. He knew for a fact that it had to be Alex.“We’ll just run a trace on this. I’ll find whoever was behind,” the police sergeant said, taking a look at the note.But Governor Morton shook his head.“No need. I don’t think you’ll find any links.”Even though Governor Morton knew this had to be Alex’s handiwork, he couldn’t prove anything. And if he got the cops involved, his own mess would also have been blown open into the public eye.For now, he chose not to take the legal route, but this incident left him deeply disturbed.The message was clear.If Alex wanted, he could get to the Governor at any time. And even the best security in the world wouldn’t have been able to stop him.Governor Morton, however, wasn’t the kind of person to be intimidated so easily.“You are playing with fire, Alex Verlaine. This is my territory,” he muttered on his way back home. “I am not like the mayo
478. Governor’s Day Out
In the afternoon, as Governor Morton switched on the TV, he saw the news of the brutal massacre in Elara.The room was still stained with blood, and the bullet holes were impossible to miss.However, the only ones who were reported as dead were the three assassins the Governor had hired to take Alex out.“What a waste of time and money,” he muttered, cursing it all. “Why the hell did I even pay you? I shouldn’t have hired such morons in the first place.”From what was shown on the news, Governor Morton concluded that the three assassins had gotten into a shooting without knowing each other, and in the mix-up, ended up killing each other.“I guess you are one lucky little mouse,” he scoffed. “But your luck will run out soon enough. You are not going to survive, Ivera, Alex Verlaine.”Just then, he received a call from Raymond Smith.“What kind of idiots did you hire for this job?” he thundered.“I didn’t know they were so useless. I paid each of them half a million for this hit. But al
477. What Goes Around
A rush of heavy footsteps sounded on the corridor outside as armed cops marched up the floor and landed on the door marked 309.They immediately went into high alert as they noticed the bullet holes in the door.“Open up! You’ve been surrounded. There is no way out!”The shout was followed by heavy knocking.“This is the NDPD! Open the damn door!”“Drop your weapon and come out with your hands behind your back!”Alex didn’t stick around to explain what had happened. He knew they would never believe him, and even if they did, he would still land in troubled waters.While the cops continued banging on the door, Alex headed to the bathroom and climbed out of the window.He jumped down from the ledge, landing on top of the dumpster sitting in the corner, and rolled away to safety.Meanwhile, the cops upstairs kicked the door open and barged in.“What the hell happened here?”“Damn. Another drug deal gone wrong?”As they spotted the two dead bodies and the bullets sprayed all across the ro
476. The Assassins
As soon as Alex heard those words, he realized she was hinting at the deal that he had refused earlier in the morning.“The Governor wished you good luck!” The attendant pulled out a suppressed pistol and fired, straight at Alex.The point-blank shot grazed Alex’s left shoulder as he kicked the trolley cart, throwing the assassin off balance, and making her gun wobble off target.“I should have known!”Reacting in a split second, Alex vaulted over the trolley cart and sent the pistol flying off with another kick.Disarmed, the assassin frowned.But instead of running away, she pulled out a knife from her waist and slashed hard.Alex jumped back as the knife grazed his shirt, splitting the white fibers open with the edge of the blade.“You made a huge mistake by coming here!” he warned, pushing the table away and engaging her from up close.The knife slashed and stabbed, but Alex countered every move by ducking and swaying out of the way with perfect precision.Then, with one sudden lu
475. Stalked and Hunted
“Turn the car around!” Alex instructed from the backseat with a sense of grave urgency.“But we are about to reach the Altis Delights. It’s a good five-star hotel,” the driver replied cluelessly.“I’ve changed my mind,” Alex retorted. “Take me out of Hannington. Nuevo Durango sounds good,” he added, thinking on the spur of the moment.“But that is almost 400 miles away. Are you sure?”“Just do what I say. No questions.”Alex was now in the Kleinfeldt District in Hannington, and Nuevo Durango was on the other side of the city.It was a wild request to ask the driver to take a detour and cover 400 miles on the open highway.But the driver obeyed without question.As the sedan took the underpass and emerged on the highway intersection, Alex looked around, but he could no longer see the biker who had been following them.However, Alex still remained wary.The fact that this stalker had just started trailing his car immediately after he walked out of Governor Morton’s mansion made him draw
