Rashid moves to America and begins the final phase of an operation to hijack the Elixr release parties scheduled around the world, and give people a modified form of the Elixr treamtent, meeant to turn the wonder drug into a biological weapon of mass destruction.

To accomplish that goal, his team kidnaps Kelly Yang, Dr. Norman Yang's daughter, and forces him to modify Elixr in secret and provide Rashid's people with a weapon of staggering potential. Yang tries to set a trap, but is found out and his daughter is injected with the modified Elixr as punishment. The terrorists then attempt to kill Yang.

Desmond Martin, oblivious to Yang's involvement in the plot to turn Elixr into a weapon, goes ahead with the release event despite Yang's demise in a suspicious tragedy. Alerted immediately after giving out the first doses that the release event in London came under attack, followed by the loss of all communication with London itself, Martin is taken by his security team to his manor in Beacon Point, Michigan, as a precaution.
