Chapter 248: Lighting the Internet Aflame Yet Again
Alex and La Madre had reached an impasse. The mature drug queen wanted to get rid of Isabella as she saw the young beauty as nothing more than a threat to her operations. While Alex knew that the only way he was going to escape from this arc with his life intact was to conquer all the heroines.
This led Alex to fight for Isabella in a way that if she were to have born witness, would have easily triggered a conquest. Thus, there was a stern look on Alex’s face as he negotiated with the most ruthless woman south of the border.
“I understand that you think Isabella is a threat, and if she remains south of the border, then yes she might very well be. Which is why I propose that I take her north with me to the United States after I have concluded my business here.
She can live with me, and I will ensure that she has no contact with those remnants of Jalisco who may want to use her as a figurehead. This way the girl lives, and is not a threat to you. Both of our conditions are satisfied… There is no way you can deny this compromise!”
Maria watched Alex’s expression turn stern, almost as if he was ready to take on the entire cartel he helped build into the powerhouse it was today just for the sake of Isabella, and inwardly she felt slightly envious of the young woman, yet she remained silent, and instead sulked as she watched La Madre mull over Alex’s proposal.
The mature beauty thought about Alex’s offer for some time… It was true that the only way Isabella remained a threat to the Empire, which she planned to build, was if she ever returned to Mexico. While the Zetas would be able to operate north of the border once this war was over. Alex had the means to keep the bitch under control.
After thinking about it for some time, La Madre accepted this compromise, while adding one condition of her own.
“Alright fine… If you can convince the girl to never return to Mexico, and behave herself while living in America, I will accept this offer of yours. But in addition to this, she will need to change her surname, and allow me to fake her execution…. I can’t have the name Isabella Ramirez floating about, even north of the border. You must understand my position…”
“Fine… But to ensure you fulfill your promise to me, I will be the executioner in this bit of theater. To make it believable, I won’t even inform the girl of our plan. Once I fake her death, and get her to safety, you will never hear from her again…”
La Madre did not hesitate to accept this condition, which was slightly surprising to Alex as well as Maria.
“Alright, deal… Just make sure that brat doesn’t cause me any problems and I will agree to your terms. After I bring down Jalisco, I will allow you to take the brat north of the border so long as she never returns.”
Alex nodded his head in agreement with these terms, before reaching out his hands and shaking on it with La Madre. He would, of course, get a contract written about this just in case, after all, though he may work for the mature beauty, Alex did not trust her in the slightest. Not until he conquered her heart, but he would have to do that after all the others.
After breakfast was over, Alex returned to his room, where he found Isabella sitting on her bed with a solemn expression on her pretty face. She was obviously bored out of her mind, what with a complete and total lack of access to the internet, or even any basic form of entertainment.
She had switched one prison cell for another, albeit this one she was able to at least interact with her crush. Thus, when she saw Alex enter the room, her face immediately lit up with a smile as she approached the man.
But Alex instead ignored her and instead chose to lie down on the bed where he turned on the TV to find a fight was going on at this moment. Who Alex saw on the card was one of the guys he had fought previously, a guy who Alex had soundly beaten.
The man was making his comeback from that KO loss and was trying his best to restore his image as a savage. And it worked fairly well, as he KOd his opponent in the third round towards the end of the fight. Where the man was quick to call out, Alex was for a rematch.
“Alex Smith! I know you can hear me! I don’t know where the hell you have run off to, but I want my rematch, you little fucking pussy! You got lucky and clipped me, but you won’t be so lucky the next time! Come out and fight me, you coward!”
The crowd went wild when they heard this callout. People had short memories, they had completely forgotten that Alex dominated Vitor in their first fight together, so much so that them and broke and ran across the cage in a shameful display of cowardice.
But after one brutal performance against an unranked opponent, the man was quick to call out the man who had beaten him bloody. And the crowd was eating it up. Alex had gone dark on social media since entering Mexico, and the fighting world had begun to pass him by. Forgetting the bloody and violent spectacles which he had given the fans thus far.
As a result, Alex was actually quite pissed and immediately pulled out his fan while Isabella was screaming at the TV on his behalf.
“That fucking punk! You broke him! He literally turned his back to you and ran like a bitch! And now that you have been absent from the game for a few months, he thinks he has the right to fight you for a rematch? Fucking coward!”
Alex, however, pulled on his skull balaclava and took off his shirt. He was still dressed in his combat gear, as was common around the Zeta’s villa. With his combat pants and his gun belt on, he took a picture of himself before sending it onto social media with the caption.
“You’ll have to wait for your ass kicking… I’m busy with some shit south of the border. I’ll fuck you up once I’m done with Jalisco!”
The post went viral almost immediately after it was posted on social media. Alex had been dark on social media for months, and now he posts a picture of himself while dressed partially in tactical gear, while in the room of what is very clearly a mansion with such a suggestive caption.
Most people were not aware of the Jalisco Cartel or their infamous reputation. But those who saw Alex dressed like a hitman, and bragging about being in Jalisco, quickly pieced two and two together. Especially since they saw the figurine of Santa Muerte in the background of the picture which sat on Alex’s nightstand.
Social media immediately became lit aflame with conversations about Alex’s potential connection to the Mexican Drug Cartels.
“Holy shit… Is Baba Yaga involved with CJNG? Wouldn’t that make him an actual fucking gangster?”
However, someone else was quick to point out another potential possibility, somebody whose username ,and mannerisms immediately suggested it was none other than Sakura.
“Fuck no! Daddy isn’t involved with those betas, he’s a fucking Zeta! Notice how daddy said he would kick Vitor’s ass after he was done WITH Jalisco. I miss you daddy! We all do! Hurry up and win your war because I’m starting to go crazy without you!”
Though there were a million social media accounts all labeled with a similarly sexually suggestive name, all of which fought against Alex’s haters, people had begun to suspect it was one of his many girls, and thus the moment this comment was posted, people began to spread rumors that Alex had travelled to Mexico to take part in the Drug War. Which was all over the news lately, what with the collapse of the Gulf and Sinaloa Cartels.
This would, of course, cause Alex’s name to once more skyrocket to the top of the search engine. After all, he already had a vicious and sadistic reputation, thus many people genuinely believed somebody with such a high bloodlust might actually do something so incredibly stupid like travel to Mexico and fight in what was perhaps the most vicious and brutal war going on in the world at the moment.
As for Alex, he did not confirm or deny the allegations, despite the many attempts of journalists to contact him. Instead, he went dead silent again, leaving his mysterious post up to the imagination of the public.
