The entire police force of Lichenstein had been mobilized on Josiah’s command, and all the patrol cars were looking for Alex.

Even though Alex had no idea who had abducted Elizabeth, he had turned into the prime suspect based on the old gardener’s allegations.

Hearing the police sirens blaring across the street, Alex realized the Warrington family meant business, and out here in the province, Josiah and his father were the ultimate authority.

As Alex was trying to figure things out, he received

  • 471. The Vaccine Shock

    Alex rushed toward Captain Williams as soon as he stood up from the floor.His whole body was spasming uncontrollably, and he twitched all over like an epileptic patient.“You’ve got this! I won’t let anything happen to you!”In the blink of an eye, Alex grabbed an injector from the table and stabbed it into Captain William’s neck, injecting the muscle relaxant directly into his tissues.Gradually, the spasms stopped, but Captain Williams still shook like a trembling leaf as the infection caused an intense fever.“You need to calm down. Deep breaths!”Alex pushed Captain Williams down onto the bed and held him in place even as he growled and twitched violently.“Alex! What the hell are you doing?” Dr. Lucy shouted from outside, her full-fisted knocks wailing against the door. “Please come out. I can’t lose you as well! Please, I beg you!”But Alex continued holding Captain Williams down, his keen gaze glued to those bloodshot eyes.“You are not dying tonight, Captain. This virus is no

  • 470. Trial by Virus

    Two hours later, Dr. Lucy stepped out of the secure containment and testing facility, carrying a vial of the special Viral Vector vaccine in her hand.“The vaccine is ready for testing. It has shown promise in the controlled environment experiments, but now it’s time for the most important part: a human trial.”Captain Williams stepped forward without hesitation.“Let’s do it. The people of Cobalt Cove are running out of time, doctor.”Dr. Lucy looked at Alex first.“You’re sure you want me to proceed?”“I am. There is no alternative,” Alex replied.Captain Williams was escorted to a secure isolation chamber where Dr. Lucy administered the first dose of the vaccine.“A single dose should be enough to trigger a rapid immune response. But we will go with a double dose just to be sure,” she explained. “If you feel any kind of discomfort, just let me know.”An hour later, Captain Williams showed no signs of discomfort, except a mild rise in body temperature.Alex checked his vitals on the

  • 469. The Cure

    Governor Du Monte had already done everything in his power to help Cobalt Cove contain the outbreak without asking any questions.However, expecting him to keep cooperating unconditionally was just pushing one’s luck.Alex had the option of exposing the dirty truth and pinning the blame on Valheim. But by doing so, he’d have to accept responsibility for all the recent assassinations.And that was only going to cause more trouble.Alex knew he couldn’t afford to reveal his true identity without controlling the 3 major states.The best course of action for now was to lie low and focus entirely on covert operations.With the Governor’s ultimatum hanging over his head like the Sword of Damocles, Alex returned to the medical research facility in the Northern Mountains, accompanied by Captain Williams.Dr. Lucy met him in the underground lab, still in her lab coat and gloves.“How much longer do you need to develop the cure?” Alex asked with a frantic sense of urgency.But Dr. Lucy’s face f

  • 468. The Art of Diplomacy

    Alex had executed the two hits with clean precision.Major Monroe had succumbed to Ebola, while Dr. Crane’s convoy had been hit by a hellfire missile from a stealth jet that had been stolen from a foreign country years ago.Apart from the little book and the letter, there was no way to tie him to either of these killings. And even those two didn’t have his fingerprints.The letter had been typed out on ordinary A4 paper, and the book had been purchased from a reseller.Alex had done everything to cover his tracks, and now the only people who could link him to the assassinations were Basher, Godrick, and Luciano.But every single one of them was now thousands of miles away from Valheim.If push came to shove and Valheim tried to point fingers at Alexandria, Basher was ready to accept responsibility for the attacks and take the fall.And since he was already on the list of international criminals, no one would even think about questioning the veracity of his claims.It all seemed like a

  • 467. Aftershock

    Major Monroe’s sudden, unnatural death stirred panic in his household.Those who went into his conference room to retrieve his body were all infected by the same Ebola virus.Before noon, all the Major’s attendants, maids, and guards succumbed to the same disease.The news of the mysterious deaths immediately put the authorities on high-alert.Every measure was taken to ensure the public wouldn’t get to know anything about this shocking tragedy.By evening, the medical personnel from the center for infectious diseases locked the whole street down and sealed off the mansion.The area was immediately put under lockdown, and every last person who had recently interacted with Major Monroe was tracked down and placed in quarantine.The Minister of External Affairs, Sergei Zharkov, looked at grim pictures from the comfort of his air-conditioned office and knit his eyebrows together.He had already summoned an infectious disease expert to get a professional perspective on the matter.“Dr. Ola

  • 466. Hellfire

    Major Monroe’s unexpected request put Dr. Crane in jeopardy.After the recent attack, he had prepared to stay in his underground bunker until things had calmed down. But the new orders changed everything.He couldn’t help but protest for his own safety.“We just launched a bioweapon attack on Alexandria. You told me to stay in hiding until things cooled down. The whole world is watching what’s happening in Cobalt Cove. I cannot expose myself at this critical moment.”“None of that matters right now!” Major Monroe snapped. “You will come here right away, or I’ll have my men drag you out by your collar!”Sensing the frantic urgency in the Major’s voice, Dr. Crane realized that something had gone wrong. And it didn’t seem like he was bothered about the bioweapon anymore.“What happened?”“I have been infected!” Major Monroe thundered. “Now get your arse in here and fix me!”“That’s impossible! I already gave you the vaccine. We all took it!”“It’s not the damn X-virus! It’s Ebola!” Major
