Chapter 266: Sowing Discontent
The director of the CIA stared at the video in disbelief. He had rewatched it several times. Everything was going exactly as planned. The Death Squad which he had sent after Alex effortlessly landed in the courtyard of the villa, where they stormed into the building and made their way through its halls.
There was just one problem. Lying in wait for them was Alex, and the women he was with in the photos he posted on social media. Evidently, these beautiful latina women were all members of Los Zetas Panteras, and all female hit squad within the ranks of the last surviving cartel.
Together with these women, Alex perfectly ambushed his CIA Death Squad, killing them all down to the last man. And the last words received on their helmet cams were a reference to an old cartoon. Spoken with a sadistic smile on Alex’s handsome face and a smug look in his eyes.
The director of the CIA had superiors he had to answer to. And that was not the President of the United States. But rather those men and women who preside over international mega corporations.
The same very people who owned every politician, every media outlet, and, of course, every academic institution. To put is simply, these were the real people who held power in the United States, and by extension the western world.
Interestingly enough, Alex had managed to piss them all off when he helped Los Zetas win the Mexican Drug War. Inadvertantly, this had led to a more secure border between Mexico and the United States. And this was something that these powerful people did not want to happen.
Thus, after showing the video of Alex and his female hit team wiping out the CIA Death Squad without suffering a single casualty, these powerful people were forced to rethink their options.
After all, La Madre had named him a Drug Lord who was second only to her. Because of this, Alex now had troops beneath his command, as was clearly demonstrated in this massacre of US Special Warfare Operators.
Whether it was a romantic obsession or something far more practical. None of them really knew. But turning La Madre against Alex was not an easy task. However... There was a much easier way to turn Alex against La Madre.
After all, she had secretly been the architect of many of the more unfortunate events that had befallen the man while he was working for her. After all, La Madre wanted more than anything to bring down the Jalisco Cartel. And Alex’s capacity for violence was truly legendary.
She was not above getting the man captured by her enemies in the hopes that he would cause a rampage and kill them all in a desperate attempt to escape, or die trying... If Alex learned that the things that he, Maria, and Isabella had suffered together were all part of La Madre’s conspiracy to destroy her enemies. He may just turn against the mature Mexican beauty.
It was with this in mind that the CIA director realized he indeed had an opportunity to create a rift between Mexico’s new “power couple.” Thus he wore an almost sadistic grin on his face as them and bowed respectfully before his masters while assuring he would bring down Alex’s safety net.
“Make no mistake, I will do everything in my power to turn Alex and La Madre against one another! You have my word, by the time those fools in congress have figured out whether or not they want to declare war on Los Zetas, the Zetas will be fighting among themselves!”
There was an excited tone in the elegant beauty’s face as she wiped a strand of her out of her pretty face before commenting on the director’s promise.
“Excellent... Once Mr. Smith finds himself at war with La Madre, it will be much easier to take him out. In the mean time I have other matters to take care of. I expect to hear from you shortly about this matter and your success. Do not disappoint me, director...”
After saying this, the room fell silent as the director bowed once more to his masters before walking out first. Knowing fully well that they did not wish to reveal their faces to him.
