How to take over the world

Alex was sweating; he could felt a tilt of a gun before he collapsed. Who had ambushed him? The question was answered when the death's door unlocked and a gentleman walked in.

It was Yassen who was behind this.Alex remembered the hatred face the very moment he walked in. Yassen greeted him with a hand-wave.

"It's you!"

"No, Alex, I am only the muscle, the brain isn't me, I only complete works, as long as I'm paid well enough."

"Then who, you are the top of my evil list please don't give me a replacement."

"Don't be so negative, in my world; I'm merely a rabbit in a horde of wolves."

"Spare me."

"I will, don't worry, Alex. And now; your question, you would probably be wondering who's behind this. Follow me."

To Alex's surprise, Yassen brought him on board an Apache Mi-28; it flies 320 km/h and weighs 8000 kg with cannons and missile launchers decorated all over. The flying death was parked on what seemed to be a tall wiped-out gym.

They flew out of the gym so that Alex could see Royal & General. The view was great, except from the large hole punched into the building so carelessly that wire came out hanging.

Cops cars gang in front the building, siren howling and SWAT teams getting prepped.

The pilot looked back. She smiled. She was only 14 and she's planning a hijack.

"You must be the world famous Alex Rider, I presume?" She seemed so relaxed and calmed.

"And you must be?" Alex raised his eye brows.

"Mivera, Mivera Janus."

Alex immediately recognized the world-famous dead perfume empire owner "Your mother's dead!"

"She is indeed, and she had left all of her wealth to me;" she looked around, "Which I intends to use on my world domination, you see, with all the intelligent services, well, out of service, my plans would be much more affective, I can, perhaps, continue one of yours villains' plans."

"You're the one who planted a bomb in Langley and Kremlin!" Alex screamed. "You're insane" Yassen professionally unsheathed his pistol.

"Don't; I want him to suffer the rest of his miserable, puny little life in the dark, with the others. Take him!"

Yassen pointed his gun at Alex's heart "Walk."
