Chapter 282: A Pound Of Flesh
After checking in at the hotel that the first target on his list of middle eastern beauties worked at. Alex found himself with very little time to report back to his watchers. And when he renewed his disguise and found the handlers who were searching all over for him, they were extremely irritated with Alex.
Alex of course had an excuse, he had not been gone for long, and simply stated that the lunch he had earlier in the day did not sit well with him, and he was in the bathroom of the location where he said he would be the entire time.
Thanks to his ability [Master of Disguise] he even had proof of this, as his phone was tracked to its exact location. This incident, of course, put the authorities in Iran on edge. But at the same time, they could not deny the proof Alex had shone them. Making the handlers who were supposed to look after him feel very stupid.
Alex would, of course, find some excuse to ditch his handlers every day, where he would visit the hotel and learn Jasmine’s working schedule. Every time he could, he would drop by, say hello, and give her a little gift, like some chocolate.
And over the next few weeks, Alex had raised the woman’s affection to a solid 10/100, and in doing so, getting her past her initial reservations about Alex being a degenerate westerner. Alex was, of course, extremely careful about making any appearances in his actual form.
Only doing so in front of Jasmine, and usually when the lobby was empty. After all, he did not want to be spotted by his enemy’s agents while within Tehran, especially during a critical time where the Iranian military would finally get their hands on nuclear weapons.
After spending a total of one month in Iran, Alex accomplished what he set out to do, and Iran tested its first functional nuclear weapon successfully. With this, “Omar Assad” was awarded with a prestigious honor from the Iranian Government, and Alex left the country.
But not before making one final appearance in front of Jasmine. Alex stood in his hotel room, which he had been occupying since he first encountered Jasmine. He was adjusting his appearance in front of the mirror, and once he confirmed he was as good looking as he was going to get, he grabbed hold of his luggage, and walked exited his room.
“Oh? Your business is finally concluded? That’s a shame. I was just starting to enjoy our time together…”
Alex smirked as he handed over his room key, before confirming that he was indeed checking out. While saying something that he knew would win him some points with the woman.
“As much as I have enjoyed my stay here, my family is waiting for me. I have been gone from them long enough, but don’t feel too down. I am sure I will be back before you know it.”
Jasmine was surprised that Alex said he had a family. She instantly became slightly hesitant as she asked about Alex’s family.
“Oh, you have a family? Do you mean like a wife and kids? Or like a mother and father?”
Alex chuckled when he heard this. After all, the woman was not ready to hear the truth about his exceptionally large family, and thus he made a small white lie.
“Just my mother and sisters. It’s been so long that they must be worried sick about me, anyway. I have truly enjoyed my stay here in Tehran, especially our little chats from time to time. So if you want to keep in contact, you could always give me your number.”
Jasmine hesitated for a second. After all, it was not exactly wise for a young and unmarried woman like herself to be seen flirting with a foreigner, but after confirming nobody was watching, she ultimately agreed to this request.
“Alright…”
After exchanging numbers, Alex finally checked out of his room, and said goodbye to the woman, where he then was flown out back to Mexico. His current plans were simple now that he had made his enemies pay for their transgressions against him with a pound of flesh.
First and foremost, he would go conquer La Madre. Then, he would return to the island where his exceptionally large family was waiting for him. Where he would spend some time with all of his women, as it had been months since he had seen some of them, and like he had said, they must be worried sick about his health and safety right now.
And then, after conquering La Madre, and finishing both the Mexican Arc, and the Interlude that would follow, Alex would return to the Middle East to begin a new arc filled with many new exotic beauties.

While Alex was flying back to Mexico to finish the job he had been given, Margaret was reeling in shock at the sudden information she had just received from the CIA. The Iranian Military had successfully conducted a test on its first nuclear weapon, and would begin producing such devastating weapons going forward.
America’s plans to invade Iran and destabilize the middle east, or should she say her plans, and those of a similar background, had come crumbling down. Invading a country that possessed nuclear weapons and invading one without them were two completely different things.
Not only that, but this put the entire world at risk, as Israel and Iran were what one might consider to be arch nemeses. Now that they both possessed nuclear weapons, there was no telling when a nuclear war might erupt.
Because of this, Margaret stared at the report in her hands in disbelief, all while expressing the same sentiment aloud, over and over again.
“How did this happen?”
As for the report, there was no mention of Alex being anywhere near involved with the attack. Hell, as far as the world’s intelligence agencies were concerned, including the Iranian ones, Alex Smith was still in Mexico, hanging out with Los Zetas.
The only thing that could possibly connect Alex to Iran within the coming months would be the sale of arms from Iran to Los Zetas. But this would be months after the nuclear weapons testing was concluded, and would be determined to be entirely unrelated by American authorities. Who from their perspective viewed this to be an act of deterrence against them and their aggression towards Los Zetas.
