Chapter 302: Back In The Game
Chapter 302: Back In The Game
Though the issues with Ali’s drug addiction came to light, at least in terms of the Saudi Royal Family discovering them. Alex’s deal on behalf of the United States and its military industrial complex went through just fine. Leaving Alex in a state where he could finally return home.
Because of this, Alex decided to put a pin in the grenade that was his attempts to sabotage Ali and Aisha’s engagement. After all, if he made another move, and too quickly, he would arouse suspicions. It had also been an extremely long time since he had an MMA fight.
While only eight months, which was not the worst thing in the world considering Alex already had three fights in the Ultimate Fighting Challenge, all within the span of a single year, it wasn’t a good look for an up and come to take so much time off.
Alex’s excuse had been he had business to take care of, but Alex couldn’t keep running forever. He, after all, wanted to become the World Champion even if it wasn’t a necessary requirement for him to achieve his goals in this Manga world he now lived in.
Because of this, Alex bade Aisha farewell and promised he would return before long. Instead, he took his private jet back to Las Vegas. The flight was a long one, but it was well worth it, after all Alex had his flight attendents to keep him company.
However, the moment Alex stepped foot in the USA he was berated by reporters. Reporters who somehow knew he was coming back home. One of these reporters was a pretty young woman who shoved a microphone in Alex’s face and asked him some hard questions.
“Mr. Smith! You have been away from home for the past eight months. During this time there has been speculation that you have been involved with the Cartel and may even be the mysterious Sicario turned Drug Lord known only by the name of “El Cucuy” is there any comment you would like to make about this matter?”
Alex decided to defuse this bomb by creating another headline for people to freak out about. He immediately took off his sunglasses and looked towards the young woman with a charming smile on his face.
“It’s a long story, one that would take much longer to properly explain than a simple sound bite. How about you come over to my hotel tonight and I’ll treat you to a nice dinner. I’ll tell you all about my exploits if you really want to know the truth…”Never before had the young reporter been hit on by one of the people she was trying to interview, let alone asked made such a scandalous offer, it sounded like Alex was telling her “I’ll tell you everything if you spend the night with me….” And because of this she blushed heavily.
Alex saw this and thought it was adorable, but he quickly withdrew his offer, seeing that the woman was embarrassed. Not that it mattered, he had accomplished his goals. After all, every single camera in the area witnessed his shamelessness and thus, Alex spoke as he began to walk away.
“I’m a bit tired after my flight. If you do want to accept my offer, you know where to find me….”
With this said, Alex walked past the reporters who tried to get more words out of him and found the limousine that his mother had sent to pick him up, which quickly took him back to their hotel. The headlines would appear the next day with the words “Suspected Drug Lord, and UFC fighter Alex “Baba Yaga” Smith returns to the USA after eight months’ long absence.”
But that was a story for another time. The moment Alex entered the vehicle, he got on his social media and began to send messages out for the first time in a very long time.
“The boogeyman of the Light Heavyweight division is back in the USA after collecting some trophies south of the border. Vitor Borges, you want your rematch? You have it. Let me remind the people why they call me Baba Yaga”
Alex shut off his phone after this, not realizing the massive amount of traction his message would cause across the internet. Pictures of the Sicario turned Drug Lord known as “El Cucuy” were flooded into Vitor’s social media. Gruesome pictures of the Cartel boss engaging in violence, with the caption “morirás” written below.
Evidently, the Mexican MMA base truly believed Alex was the foreign hitman hired by the Zetas to win the Drug War, and was taunting the Brazilian berserker with gruesome depictions of Alex’s many kills within Mexico. Using their meme magic to make the victims all look like Borges.
Alex didn’t deny any of these allegations, nor did he confirm them, but he did like the posts taunting Borges with such gruesome depictions of violence, and even commented with his own remarks, further adding fuel to the flames.
“If you think that’s bad, wait until you see what I do to Vitor Borges come fight night…”
The fight hadn’t even been confirmed, but already the internet remembered why Alex went so viral less than a year ago, and were all ready to see the man back in the cage, regardless if the accusations of him being a ruthless drug lord were true or not.
And of course where Alex posted, Sakura’s many alt accounts were not far behind making hyper sexual remarks about their “daddy”. How many of these were actually Sakura, and how many were young women following the trend, nobody really knew.
But regardless of simply returning to the United States, and announcing his 8 month long hiatus from fighting being over, Alex completely turned the world of Mixed Martial Arts on its head. With some so called “MMA journalists” even stating another win over Vitor who was on a 4 fight win streak since his initial loss to Alex would put the absent light heavy weight back into the ranks as a potential contender for the crown of the division.
No matter what happened after this, Alex was officially back in the game, and the world was all too eager for it.
