Chapter 136: Escape

Alfaz had to act fast.

He knew now that the military was deeply involved in something that could once again change the entire region's balance of power, a nuclear test.

If this news leaked, he is sure a war will break out.

But the problem was, he wasn't the only one putting pieces together.

By now, word would have spread through his inquiries, the bribes, and the disappearances of people like Arif and Sajid.

The higher-ups would soon know someone was digging, and that someone would lead back to him.

Sajid's confession confirmed Alfaz's worst fears.

The test was real, and it was imminent. Worse still, powerful forces, foreign scientists and financiers were involved, making this operation far larger than anything Alfaz had ever imagined.

He needed to get this information out, and he needed to do it now.

There was no time to waste.
