547. Reborn from the Ashes!
Commander Xander Payne!That name had almost been forgotten.The hero who had once saved Alexandria during her darkest and most desperate days had faded into the pages of history.But all the people of Alexandria needed was a reminder.And now that the same man stood before them in his old uniform, radiating the aura of a true Demigod, the past seemed to come back alive.Millions felt something reawaken inside them as they heard that same voice they had last heard shouting over the loudspeakers and radios, urging them to fight for freedom.Three years had rolled by in a hurry, and they had made peace with the fact that their hero had perished in battle.But now that the martyr had returned from beyond the grave, the citizens of Alexandria felt their hopes reigniting inside their hearts.“I know this must come as a shock to you all. I was supposed to be dead, but here I am, standing before you in flesh and bone,” Alex continued in a heavy voice and spread out his arms. “I didn’t die th

The next day, complete chaos broke out in Valheim as President Igor received distressing news from his Minister of Defense, Yosef Kuroshev.“Sergei hasn’t been answering any of our texts, and I can’t get him or any of our commandos on the comms. They have all gone off the grid. And their last known location was Santini.”“It’s a part of Alexandria!” The President muttered, gnashing his teeth. “Sergei was supposed to make a nuclear deal with Kronos Tech and hunt down Commander Xander Payne.”“I think it’s safe to assume the deal didn’t go well. Commander Payne isn’t some fox we can hunt with bait. If it really is him, we all know what he is capable of.”“What are you trying to say?” Igor thundered. “Stop talking in riddles and spit it out!”“I think Sergei and his team are dead. I think they walked right into a trap,” Yosef replied, bowing his head. “After what happened with President Sebastian and his ministers, we never should have trusted another Alexandrian. They set us up!”Presid
545. The God of War!
“What the hell are you talking—”Sergei’s words caught in his throat as Alex’s bright blue eyes blazed with righteous fury, and an unnatural aura exuded from his body, stirring up a dust storm around him.In the fading light of the veiled new moon, Sergei beheld the scarred face of a veteran who had won hundreds of battles in his life.“There is no Alex Verlaine. There never was. I am the one you tried to bury three years ago. But not even death could keep me away from my country. You now stand before Xander Payne, the beating heart of Alexandria. Prepare to face your judgment!”As Alex’s words boomed across the island, Sergei heard the Supreme Commander’s voice and shuddered in pure terror.“No…It can’t be…Commander Payne is dead! He was killed in the bioweapon attack!”“I admit I should have died that very night. But the virus didn’t kill me. Instead, it only stripped me of my powers,” Alex replied, clenching his fist. “But things have changed now. I no longer need to hide behind a
544. The Devil and the Dealbreaker
The next day at 1700 hours, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Sergei Zharkov’s private jet landed in Santini, followed by ten armed choppers carrying elite members of the Red Jackets.Samantha Atkins was the one who received them this time, accompanied by a team of nuclear scientists and engineers.“Welcome to Santini, Mr. Zharkov. I am Samantha Atkins, the acting CEO of Kronos Tech. And this is the team behind our nuclear success. I hope we can conclude the deal today.”“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Atkins,” Sergei replied, looking around distractedly. “I don’t see your boss around. Is Mr. Verlaine not here yet?”“He will be joining us shortly. In the meantime, he has asked me to give you a tour.”Samantha showed Sergei around, offering him a chance to view the Stealth Bomber they had used to test the first nuke, and after that, she showed him their crowning jewel—the 15 Megaton nuclear warhead, which was attached to an advanced long-range ICBM.“Very impressive, Ms. Atkins. Y
543. A New World Order
President Sebastian was duly impeached with the complete support of the entire parliament, and his cabinet was subsequently dissolved.All the ministers who had sided with Valheim and conspired against Alexandria’s national interests were put on trial for high treason and corruption.Backed by Alex’s influential contacts, the Old Revolutionary Party returned to power, and Elaine Braithwaite was elected as the new head of state.Replacing the old President was the first step of the plan, and once Elaine took over the reins, a new cabinet was formed, consisting of ministers handpicked by Alex himself.With all the traitors either eliminated or removed from their positions of power, Alexandria took a step in a new direction.As soon as Elaine Braithwaite was sworn in as the new President, he promised to right the wrongs of his predecessor.His first order shook the whole international community.Billions around the world watched the speech live, and Elaine made no effort to hold back.“A
542. Viva la revolución!
Now that Sergei had clearance from the President of Valheim himself, he didn’t think twice before making the call to Alex.“Mr. Verlaine, your propositions have been accepted by His Excellency. You will get what you want once all this is over.”“I am happy to hear it. Although you did take your time, Mr. Zharkov.”“Some matters shouldn’t be rushed,” Sergei whispered in a heavy, ominous voice. “You are getting what you wanted. You should be thankful for it.”“Oh, I truly am.”“Then it’s time for you to keep your end of the bargain. I want the nuclear tech and all the weapons you have already designed. And after the transfer is complete, you will lead us to Commander Payne.”“There is a little problem which must be handled first.”Sergei flared up at this.“Are you trying to waste my time? We had a deal, and I hate those who cannot honor their word!”“We did, but in case you haven’t noticed, things just became a lot more complicated down here. You should have believed me when I told you
