Max Xanderson's mind was clear, his course of action set. He turned back to Melissa Stevens, still lying unconscious in her hospital bed. Gently, he brushed a strand of hair away from her face."I’m going to finish this, Melissa," Max Xanderson whispered. "And when it’s over, you’ll wake up to a world where no one will ever dare to hurt our family again."Max Xanderson's voice was a bit above whispers and laced with a mixture of reassurance and hope.With one last look at his wife, Max Xanderson turned and left the room, his steps heavy with determination and purpose.As he walked through the hospital corridors, his thoughts were already on finding Luthor and Tommy.Luthor’s betrayal had opened the floodgates, and now there was no turning back. Max Xanderson had already decided he would see this through to the end, no matter the cost.The streets of Oakville were quiet as he stepped outside, the night air cool against his skin. Stepping in the military-grade van outside the hospi
Max Xanderson immediately crouched down in front of her, his voice low and dangerous. "You’ve been through a lot tonight. But I need you to understand something.""This doesn’t end until I get what I want and until you all pay dearly for what you all did to Melissa Stevens, my dear wife!""Luthor betrayed me when he helped your accomplice, Tommy, get away and they’ll suffer for it. But you…"Max Xanderson immediately paused, letting his words sink into the middle-aged lady.He immediately gazed upon Betty Jordan and then signaled one of the security guards to grab him a chair.The security guard did and Max Xanderson sat down and gazed at the middle-aged lady, his face etched with inexpression.The middle-aged lady fidgeted as Max Xanderson immediately continued."You have a choice to leave or die today!""Tell me everything you know about their plans, and I might consider letting you walk out of here alive.""Keep quiet, and I’ll make sure your last moments are ones you’ll wish you
The middle-aged lady gazed angrily at Betty Jordan and said coldly."You will pay for that!""All of you will pay dearly for everything you have just done to me!""Everyone one of you who had beaten me up will pay dearly for it!"The middle-aged lady said as she continued to laugh maniacally as she continued, this time pointing at Betty Jordan and her men although she was tied with a jute rope.Betty Jordan was immediately taken aback, and so were her men.One of them immediately moved forward to connect the head of his M16 to a middle-aged face but was immediately restrained by Betty Jordan."Let her speak…that was why we have been torturing her all day, so let her speak"Betty Jordan's voice was laced with a mixture of anger and determination as she whispered into the ears of his security guard who had gone to deal with the middle-aged lady.The situation was intense and palpable as Betty Jordan and her security guards continued staring at the middle-aged lady as she vented loudly.
The situation was intense and palpable as Max Xanderson stared at the middle-aged lady."You aren't the only one with ways of getting information!"Max Xanderson immediately said as he stood tall before the middle-aged lady.Max Xanderson had sent the voice recording that Betty Jordan had sent to him to his people at the supreme Elite Forces headquarters.He instructed them to isolate and identify the voice using their wide-range voice recognition database.Moments later he received the result and found out that the middle-aged lady's name was actually Adrianna Harrison.The Harrison family were one of the quiet families in Westerville but secretly ran a huge crime syndicate in and across the country.Max Xanderson immediately gazed upon Adrianna Harrison who was still stunned by the whole turnout of events.She had always made sure she covered her tracks properly after each of her movements.She always had and moved with fake identity cards and had always stepped out of the way of th
Max Xanderson asked, his voice as cold as the steel chain he held in his hand.Adrianna Harrison stared askance at him and sighed."Don't bother answering that, I will answer it for you!""They fall. And when they do, they fall hard to the ground!"Max Xanderson's voice was laced with a mixture of determination and authority.Adrianna Harrison smiled even though she had blood all over her face.A flicker of doubt crossed her face before it was quickly masked by that same stubborn arrogance she had earlier."You can threaten me all you want, Max. It won’t change anything!""The Southern Pacifier is already on his way!""He’ll burn your world to the ground, and I’ll be there to watch it happen."Adrianna Harrison's voice was nowhere near remorse or regret for what she did to little Chloe Maxwell.Max Xanderson immediately remembered the scared face his little daughter, little Chloe Maxwell had when she was released from the boot of Adrianna Harrison's car as they were almost about to cr
Max Xanderson immediately asked as he got closer to Betty Jordan and stared at the screen of her tablet and gazed back at Betty Jordan almost immediately."General, I just received intel that Tommy is actually the step-brother of Cody Leonard.""Tommy is actually the son of Lord Leonard, we didn't see that coming, did we?"Betty Jordan's voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.Max Xanderson immediately stared back at Betty Jordan and asked, his voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination.He found the information quite surprising, although he had expected something related to that news.Staring at Betty Jordan, Max Xanderson said,"How trusted is this intelligence of yours, I hope it's not from Luthor?!"Max Xanderson asked, his voice was laced with sarcasm as he gazed at Betty Jordan.Betty Jordan immediately understood where Max Xanderson was coming from and smiled slightly."No General Cobra Claw, it's actually one of my trusted artificial intel
Meanwhile, Max Xanderson stepped out into the cool night air, his mind racing with the new revelations and news that Betty Jordan's artificial intelligence analytics had disclosed to them. It was already night time and he hadn't even heard from Jack Oniels, who had gone to deliver the headless bodies of Nurse Vivian and Doctor to Lord Leonard's villa.The thought of Tommy being the son of Lord Leonard was a twist he had anticipated, but one that made the situation even more volatile and more escalatory.If Lord Leonard is Tommy's father and the father of the dead Cody Leonard and was protecting Tommy, then their task was far from over. This wasn’t just about revenge anymore; it was about dismantling an entire network, brick by brick until nothing remained.Max Xanderson pulled out his phone and dialled Sam's secured line, his military secretary back at the Supreme Elite Forces headquarters.The phone rang twice before Sam picked up almost immediately.“Sam, it’s General Cobra Claw.
"Yes, sir," Sam immediately replied."And it gets worse. Our surveillance flagged an unusual signal, something we hadn’t seen before—an encrypted transmission that we traced back to the Northern Alliance.""We’re looking at potential collusion here, General Cobra Claw!""If the Northern Alliance is backing the Southern Pacifier, we might be dealing with a full-scale international conspiracy!""We’re talking weapons-grade tech, biowarfare capabilities, and more."Sam's voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.Max Xandersons eyes narrowed."And you're telling me this now? After we’ve already been led on a wild goose chase?"Max Xanderson asked, his voice was laced with a mixture of anger and determination."General Cobra Claw, the intel only came in after we’d already mobilized."By the time we intercepted the transmission, the team was already on the ground.""They were sitting ducks. It was either we pull back and regroup or risk losing everything."Sam's voice wa
