The black limousine pulled away from the curb, leaving Veronica Hartley standing alone on the sidewalk. Moments later, the crowd that had witnessed the extraordinary scene began to converge on her, their faces etched with curiosity and excitement.

"What was that all about?" a heavyset man demanded, pushing through the others. "Who was that guy?"

Veronica's mind raced. Marcus's warning about keeping the conversation private echoed in her ears. She remembered the threat, the implied consequences of speaking about Yemin Morgan.

"Nothing important," she said with a forced laugh, trying to sound dismissive. "Just some rich woman inside the limo. That man—Yemin—he was just begging for money. Typical leech."

The men exchanged knowing looks. "We knew it!" one of them exclaimed. "Probably lives off women's charity. Just look at those cheap clothes."

Another chimed in, "Bet he's been running scams all over the city. Surprising he hasn't been arrested yet."

Veronica nodded, playing into their na

    In his luxurious office overlooking the city, Justin Castellanos watched the news coverage with deep satisfaction. The impostor he had carefully selected and trained was performing even better than expected, his charismatic presence winning over viewers across multiple networks."This is perfect," Justin said to Agent Collins, who stood beside him monitoring the broadcast. "With this fake Alexander Ashford claiming to be the real heir, Yemin will be so busy trying to deal with the identity crisis that he won't have time to poke his nose into our affairs."Agent Collins nodded approvingly. "It's brilliant payback for what he did by getting you arrested. Now he knows how it feels to have his reputation destroyed.""The beauty of it is that this impostor actually believes he can pull this off long-term," Justin continued with a cold smile. "He has no idea he's just a pawn in a much larger game."Meanwhile, at Channel 7 Studios, the fake Alexander Ashford was wrapping up another interview

    The moment Faye's miraculous recovery became apparent, the atmosphere in the quarantine tent shifted dramatically. The same people who had been denouncing Yemin as a dangerous amateur just minutes earlier were now pushing forward desperately, their voices rising in a cacophony of demands."Me next! I need the cure next!" shouted the businessman, stumbling forward from his cot. "I've been sick longer than anyone else here!""No way!" the lawyer protested, his voice hoarse but determined. "I'm a senior partner at Morrison & Associates! I have priority!"A middle-aged woman near the center of the tent raised her trembling hand. "Please, Mr. Morgan, I have three children at home! They need their mother!""Children?" scoffed another victim. "I'm the CEO of a major corporation! Do you have any idea how many people depend on me?"The businessman pushed past several other victims, his fever-weakened body driven by desperation. "Listen here, you people don't understand! I'm on the board of dir

    Inside the quarantine tent, Yemin worked with methodical precision, his hands steady despite the chaos around him. The other victims watched him with a mixture of skepticism and desperate hope as he filled syringes with the compound he had synthesized.Faye's breathing had grown more labored, and the red lightning streaks across her skin seemed to pulse with an ominous rhythm. She turned her head weakly toward Yemin."Are you going to be able to finish the cure in time?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.Yemin looked up from his work, his eyes meeting hers with unwavering confidence. "I need a few more minutes and it will all be done. Just hold on a little longer."Outside the main quarantine tent, Dr. Thompson was dealing with an unprecedented crisis. Three of his CDC colleagues who had been working in hazmat suits were now showing the same symptoms as the original victims. They had been moved to a separate quarantined area, their protective equipment having failed against the

    A businessman from the conference, his face flushed with fever, looked at Yemin with disbelief."Are you completely insane? Why would a healthy person willingly run into a death trap like this?""Maybe he has a death wish," muttered a woman nearby, her voice hoarse from the toxin's effects."Rich people do crazy shit when they get bored."Another victim, a middle-aged lawyer, struggled to sit up on his cot."Listen, Mr. Billionaire, I don't know what kind of hero complex you've got going on, but we don't need some wannabe doctor playing with our lives.""That's right," agreed another man, his breathing labored."We've seen what happens when rich people think they know better than professionals. Just look at the CDC doctors outside – even they're getting sick despite their fancy suits."Yemin continued working, preparing syringes and measuring out precise dosages of his synthesized cure."I'm not here to debate my qualifications with you.""Qualifications?" the lawyer scoffed."What qu

    Yemin sat in his Jaguar for a moment, his mind racing as he watched the chaotic scene unfolding before him.The CDC's incompetence was going to cost lives, and Faye was trapped inside with a toxin that was clearly beyond their understanding."If they won't let me help from out here," he muttered to himself, "then I'll have to get inside with the quarantined people."He drove around to the back of the building where the quarantine tents had been hastily erected.Security was lighter in this area, focused more on keeping people in rather than keeping people out.Yemin slipped between two tents and quickly located a medical supply station.A CDC technician was busy labeling blood samples when Yemin approached from behind."Excuse me," Yemin said politely.The technician turned around. "Sir, you can't be back here. This is a restricted—"Yemin's hand moved with practiced precision, striking a pressure point on the man's neck.The technician crumpled unconsciously to the ground. Yemin quic

    The line went dead as a hazmat worker gently removed the device from Faye's grasp.Fifteen minutes later, a sleek black Jaguar roared into the emergency perimeter, drawing attention from all the first responders. Yemin stepped out of the vehicle, his face set with grim determination as he surveyed the scene."Who's in charge here?" he demanded, striding toward the command center that had been set up in the parking lot.Dr. Thompson looked up from his tablet, his expression immediately shifting to one of irritation. "And you are?""Yemin Morgan. I have people inside that building, and I may be able to help with the medical situation."Dr. Thompson's eyes narrowed with recognition. "Oh, I know who you are. I saw you on TV during that whole rape trial fiasco. Very dramatic stuff.""This isn't about publicity," Yemin said firmly. "I have advanced medical knowledge that could be crucial in treating these victims."Dr. Thompson laughed dismissively, his condescending tone grating against Ye
