Chapter 13 - The Inside Threat
The remaining four mercenaries scattered, diving behind stone retaining walls as heavy return fire echoed across the mountain valley.
Two operatives attempted to breach through the rear glass conservatory doors, shattering the reinforced window panes into glittering shards.
Alexander moved through the dark hallway like a phantom, intercepting the intruders before they could reach the main living quarters.
With ruthless, calculated efficiency, Alexander disarmed the first attacker with a swift rifle butt to the jaw.
He pinned the second mercenary against the glass wall, pressing his tactical blade against the man's throat armor.
"Who sent you from Zurich?!" Alexander demanded, his voice vibrating with absolute fury and lethal authority.
"It was... Viktor Vance... your uncle... he runs the European council!" the mercenary choked out in absolute terror.
Alexander's heart skipped a beat as he heard the name of the uncle everyone believed had died in a plane crash twenty years ago.
He knocked the operative unconscious with a swift strike, handing him over to Marcus and the estate guards as police sirens wailed.
