484. The Cartel Showdown
Mad with rage, Xavier rushed down the stairs and headed for the basement.It wasn’t just another dark and stuffy room, but a whole armory stacked full of assault rifles, grenades, and light machine guns.Xavier grabbed one of the light machine guns from the table and picked up a couple of drum magazines.“Grab your damn weapons. This is war!” he thundered.His men followed in his footsteps, each grabbing whatever weapon caught their eye.Enrico came running after him breathlessly, desperate to stop his brother.“Please don’t do this! The cops want you to attack!” he cried. “Xavier, listen to me! This is exactly what the Governor wants. If you attack the cops, they’ll have your head for it!”“I don’t freaking care! I am not afraid of those pigs in uniform!”Xavier stormed out of the mansion even before Enrico could stop him.He stepped right out into the open front yard and immediately started firing at the cop cars positioned outside.“You came to the wrong house, Esse!” He yelled, sp
483. Operation Sledgehammer
The Boheco Cartel had members spread all across Nuevo Durango, and every last man was armed to the teeth.They weren’t the kind of gang even the bravest cops wanted to touch.Nuevo Durango’s chief of police was also no exception to this rule. He was about to retire in a year and had no intention of risking his neck to run a fool’s errand.“With all due respect, Governor. You are not talking about a small gang of carjackers. This is the Boheco Cartel you’re asking me to hit. They are an organized criminal community with members spread all across the city. Perhaps I can just warn their boss and—”“I know what I am talking about. The time for discussions and warnings is over!” Governor Morton snapped right back. “Xavier Cortez and his gang of peddlers and cutthroats must be brought to justice. I am authorizing you to clean up the city.”“The cartel has dangerous connections. They’ve already killed plenty of my men in the past. And they don’t even hesitate about targeting politicians,” th
482. The Flood
As the days passed, Kronos Tech’s revolutionary medication hit the market like a tsunami, flooding every city in Ivera with healing serums, anti-aging pills, and safe weight loss drugs.Within a week, every single pharmacy and online medical store was stocking its shelves with Kronos Tech’s pills, gels, creams, and vaccines.Meanwhile, Salasar Corporation’s surgical equipment and advanced scanning devices started making their way to clinics, labs, and even super specialty hospitals.Alex hadn’t contacted any private corporations directly or signed any secret deals, yet his products had flooded the market, going completely unnoticed so far.However, as the hype intensified around Kronos Tech’s new drugs hitting Ivera’s healthcare sector, the media slowly started sniffing around.Eventually, the news reached Martin Iverson. And he immediately rang up Governor Franklin Morton.“Where are you, Franklin?” he burst forth.“At the theatre. Trying to watch a play in peace,” Franklin replied i
481. The Ultimate Soldiers
The volunteers from the Blood Moon Academy were taken down to the courtyard, where Captain Williams’ hand-picked, elite commandos were waiting for them.Alex watched from the balcony as the whole group was divided into two teams.For this particular combat session, the focus was going to be entirely on unarmed combat, and all types of martial arts techniques were allowed without any restrictions.The elite commandos dressed in black combat vests, with tactical masks obscuring their faces, looked like formidable opponents.But the boys from the Blood Dragon Academy, wearing the classic round-necked black tees and crimson pants, didn’t seem bothered at all.“Physical evaluations indicated extreme endurance levels and elevated focus. The God Serum has enhanced these volunteers far beyond their mental and physical limits,” Dr. Lucy remarked, as she looked on from above.Standing beside her, Alex put his hands on the stone railing and replied, “Laboratory evaluations are only an indicator
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
