CHAPTER 60 PART 2
News vans clustered around Saint Catherine's entrance like vultures around carrion, reporters jockeying for position, cameras capturing every angle. Within an hour of Henandez's miraculous recovery, the story had spread across every news outlet in the city."—what doctors are calling an unprecedented recovery—""—Senator Harrio's son, pronounced on death's door just hours ago, has made a complete turnaround—""—medical experts baffled by the sudden reversal of symptoms—""—some are calling it a miracle, others are demanding investigation into what actually happened—"The headlines multiplied across television screens, websites, social media platforms. Henandez Harrio's impossible recovery became the story of the day, overshadowing political scandals and financial news.In an underground bunker on the city's east side, Alejandro sat on a worn couch watching one of those news broadcasts. The television showed footage of Henandez being wheeled out of his hospital room for transfer to a r

"Senator, please listen to me—" Diego began, but Alvaro cut him off with a sharp gesture."No. You listen to me." Alvaro's voice was steel wrapped in ice. "I appreciate what you did for my son. Truly. You saved his life when everyone else had given up. For that, you have my eternal gratitude. But don't for one second think that gratitude gives you authority to tell me what I can or cannot do.""I'm not trying to control you—""Aren't you?" Alvaro stepped closer, his politician's instincts warring with his father's rage. "You want me to just let this slide? Let Alejandro Morales walk free after he tried to murder my only child?""I want you to understand that the man who attacked your son isn't the same person you remember," Diego said urgently. "Two years ago, Alejandro was a desperate gambler with no real skills beyond manipulation. Now he's been trained in techniques that make him extremely dangerous. Going after him directly would be suicide.""Then what do you suggest? That I do n

"I know! I know it was stupid!" Tears began streaming down Henandez's face. "But then last night, someone showed up at the club. He said he was there to collect for Vasquez. He wasn't like the other collectors—he was younger, dressed well, spoke calmly. Almost polite."Diego's entire body tensed. "Describe him.""Mid-thirties, maybe. Lean build, expensive suit. Dark hair styled differently than it used to be—shorter, cleaner. He had this... this confidence about him. Like he knew he was in complete control." Henandez's hands trembled at the memory. "I told him I wasn't paying. That my father would protect me. And he just smiled.""What did he look like? Specifically." Diego's voice was urgent now."Sharp features. Strong jawline. Eyes that were... cold. Empty. Like looking at someone who didn't care if you lived or died." Henandez paused. "He reminded me of someone, actually. That heir who disappeared a few years ago—Alejandro something. Morales, maybe? But it couldn't have been him.
CHAPTER 59 PART 1
One grueling hour later, the hospital room door opened and Diego emerged, his shirt soaked through with sweat, his face pale with exhaustion. He moved like someone who'd just run a marathon, his breathing controlled but labored.Alvaro stopped pacing mid-step, his eyes locking onto Diego with desperate intensity. Dr. Mendoza and several nurses who'd been hovering nearby immediately rushed forward, crowding around Diego."Well?" Alvaro demanded. "Is he—""Your son is going to be okay," Diego said, his voice quiet but steady.The hallway erupted."That's impossible!" Dr. Mendoza pushed past Alvaro, heading straight for the room. "You're lying! There's no way—"He burst through the door and froze.Henandez lay in the bed, his eyes open and alert, his chest rising and falling with strong, steady breaths. The blue veining that had spread across his neck and shoulder had faded to barely visible traces. His right arm—previously paralyzed—moved slightly as he adjusted his position, reaching f

"I'll need the room cleared completely," Diego said. "No doctors, no nurses, no security. Just me and your son.""What? Why?" Suspicion crept back into Alvaro's voice."Because what I'm about to do requires intense concentration. Any distraction could be fatal—not just for your son, but potentially for me as well." Diego's expression was serious. "The technique to reverse this kind of damage is delicate. One mistake and I could trigger a total cascade collapse.""Then maybe you should have medical support—""Medical support would only interfere. Their equipment, their interventions, their constant monitoring—all of it would disrupt what I need to do." Diego placed a hand on Alvaro's shoulder. "You asked if I could save him. I said yes. But I need optimal conditions to do it. That means privacy."Alvaro looked at his son's still form, at the monitors showing fragile stability, at the blue veining that continued to pulse with corrupted energy."How long will it take?""Hours. Maybe long
CHAPTER 58 PART 1
Alvaro stood between two impossible choices—trust the doctors who'd done nothing but fail since his son arrived, or trust the stranger who'd just performed what looked like a miracle with nothing but his bare hands.The monitors beeped steadily now, a rhythm that had been absent moments ago when Henandez was crashing. That simple fact made the decision easier than it should have been."Can you save him?" Alvaro asked, his voice rough with exhaustion and hope. "Truly save him, not just stabilize him temporarily?"Diego studied Henandez's prone form, his eyes moving over the blue veining, the paralyzed limbs, the subtle signs of progressive neural collapse that only someone trained in the ancient arts could recognize."It's going to be an uphill battle," Diego said honestly. "The technique used was sophisticated. Whoever attacked your son knew exactly what they were doing—they designed this to be difficult to reverse. But yes, it can be done.""Then name your price." Alvaro pulled out h
