241: ‘Dear Uncle’
Gabrielle smiled with pride as warm chills cascaded down her shoulders. She couldn't have been prouder of having a vehement warlord as a hero.The warlord's words gave the Faithfuls more momentum, still pointing their guns at the kidnappers, waiting for a signal from him.The Cartels’ expressions were laced with mixed emotions after Achilles' words crashed through their eardrums. A mix of disorientation and rage tugged on their gestures.The feeling of helplessness clouded them, as it had been excruciatingly difficult to stay one step ahead of the Warlord. Everything changed from the moment they had Brig. Anthony Hector hanged for a crime he didn't commit.At first, Ethan's expression was thrust with uncertainty, but he maintained a serious demeanor to stay grounded. He couldn't afford to have his nephew's vehement words living rent-free in his mind.He gave a complicated scoff and tutted his lips in growing fury, “You walked into my abod
242: Quit Running Coward
Ethan's heart dropped, his chest swelled with rage as he glared at Achilles with murderous intent.Escobar and Calderon yelled with scornful tongues, “How dare you speak like that in our presence? The mistake you made was walking into our dungeon!”Achilles scoffed and swiftly rushed towards them and decorated their jaws with a slam hit.POUNCE!The sound of the punch echoed, and the remaining Cartel members quivered in shock.Gabrielle jumped in elation, her teeth shining bright in pride, “That's my hero! Put them in their place!”Achilles returned his fiery gaze at them, “You were saying something?”Calderon and Escobar's lips zipped while they did all they could to endure the excruciating pain oozing from the hit.They stepped backwards in brewing fear of how worse things would become if they moved an inch closer to him again.Achilles moved his direction towards one of the women, his expression reek
243: Escape Mechanism
Achilles Hector had a full glance of Ethan’s pacing motion about making it out of the building. The Warlord increased his speed and made it through the small gate that wasn't visible from the road.“Let's see how far you'd run! Coward!”Ethan's heart ached with Achilles' repetition of cowardice while chasing him. He had always hated being called such since childhood.It temporarily took him down memory lane to grade 3, when his age grade always taunted him whenever he failed to complete one of their childhood tasks.As usual, they'd always compare him to his twin brother who got the task done swiftly and better.Here again, his nephew vigorously called him the same despicable nickname.For a few moments, Ethan was absent-minded while pacing across the road and was almost knocked down by a moving coaster. The driver managed to swerve to the right while honking, doing everything possible not to run over Ethan.Et
244: Reckoning Hour
Achilles Hector clicked his tongue with keenness, his fingers still clutched on the gun, “Playing mind games, huh? It's the audacity to think you'd always scale through with that.” Ethan Hector’s complicated scoff abruptly disappeared, leaving his face plunged with a frown. Stepping closer to him, the Warlord smoothly engaged him, “Watching my dad hanged was one of the most heart-wrenching experiences any child would have. That wouldn't have played out the way it did without your involvement. Should I go ahead and jam my palms for you?” “You'd have buried your envy and made sure no soul knew you despised your own twin for being better than you. You sinned against humanity, the moment you connived with the Cartels to assassinate Sire Rollins Julian and frame my father for it.” Getting much closer to him, Achilles' eyes gleamed with fire, “I’m here to ensure justice is served. You won't escape what's coming.” E
245: Not Today
Achilles Hector drew a deep breath as he stepped closer to Ethan. He didn't fail to keep a steady tab on him just in case he was about to pull some stupid stunt.The Warlord believed that as long as he didn't have his firm hands on his uncle, heading back to the grand-arrest apartment. Anything could still happen. The table might still turn to anyone's favorite.The last time he checked, Ethan was a trained military veteran and would certainly have some tricks up his sleeve for dicey situations.Achilles narrowed his eyes on Ethan Hector as he spoke with precision, “Don't do anything foolish. Oh yeah, I'm watching you. This is the end of the road!”Ethan watched Achilles with a calculating gesture, still slightly keeping his hands hung in the air. His mind whirled on how more pathetic his life would become if he got apprehended and thrust behind bars waiting for trials.The phases of scornful glaring from people, prisoners, and the series
246: Love You Momma
Achilles Hector held tightly onto Ethan by the waistband, with sharp eyes glued to him to avoid slipping off.Achilles felt Ethan would do anything possible not to be arrested, and taking his life seemed like a better alternative than facing the disdainful consequences of his deeds.Hence, any moment of distracting thought could give his uncle an edge to attack and get himself freed. Staying on guard was non-negotiable.Achilles whispered with a knowing cackle, “Hey, move it, coward!”Ethan's heart ached with complex thoughts, and his shoulders sank as he failed to keep his threatening words.While the warlord shoved him forward, Star Hayden had been watching the entire Grand arrest from the gate but all along her eyes had been fixed on her daughter.Sharon Grace winked at her to step forward instead, which she adhered to; her expression laced with indescribable emotions, having seen the outcome of what her ex-husband had been fi
247: The Schemer Has Fallen
On reflection, several eyes shifted towards the source of the voice. What the special agents and the Faithfuls saw made their bloodstreams tingle with an adrenaline rush.Achilles Hector had Ethan's arms stretched as he slammed his leg against his back and had his uncle’s knees fall against the floor.Ethan mumbled in pain as Achilles kept his hands stretched behind making it easier for one of the special agents to cuff his wrists.The Cartels watched with disappointment laced in their demeanors while they mused in irritation, ‘How the schemer has fallen!’They sucked their teeth seeing how Achilles beamed with pride after apprehending Ethan Hector and subduing him for an arrest.When Ethan managed to run towards the escape pathway, they hoped he'd find a way to make it through without being caught. As long as Ethan wasn't apprehended, their chances of escaping the wrath of the law would be in contention. The Cartels rolled thei
248: Naive Card
Achilles Hector watched Anthony keenly and could see the cold glint of revenge in his eyes. He didn't spill a word; rather, he had his arms fixed in akimbo.The Faithfuls winked at him to get hold of his emotions, but Anthony's mind was clustered with the dead images of his best friend, who once investigated the illegal market business.He flashed a murderous glare at Lucia Montoya, his voice echoed with scorn, “Everyone else could wait to face the wrath of the law but not you bitch!”Drawing closer to her with gritted teeth, Brig. Scott moved in swiftly to stop him from whatever his mind was swinging about.Lucia's heart sank a million times as she watched Anthony walk towards her, his posture threatening and unapproachable.Anthony flashed a spiteful finger against her while unleashing more words, “You! You don't deserve a life behind bars. My best friend was closing in on you, already garnering incriminating evidence about your involve
249: His Obsession
Anthony spat on the floor wearing a grim expression, “You'll pay for your crimes. I would save my sanity and not do more harm than what's already coming for you. I'm better than that.”Anthony stepped backwards with a raging heartbeat while Dora Beauty rested his head on her shoulder and gently calmed his thumping heartbeat.For a moment, no lips widened to mouth a word as they watched Anthony fight with his whirling emotions. On Lucia's last words, he realized doing physical harm to her wouldn't bring back his best friend nor would it change what had happened.The best shot was to allow the law to have its wrath on Lucia, making sure that justice prevailed. The Grand arrest of the kidnappers and the Cartel group would serve as a warning to other like-minded personalities nursing the idea of causing havoc.Lucia Montoya still hadn't been able to control her fast breathing pace, due to the fear of what lay at the other end of the road. Her mind thr
250: Caught Up
The special agents had the Cartel members lined up against the wall, hands cuffed behind their backs. Lucia Montoya staggered, her designer dress now wrinkled and stained. She kept her chin high, but her eyes darted around nervously.Achilles held Gabrielle close, his hand gently stroking her hair. His daughter hadn't stopped beaming at him, her small face resting on his shoulder.Star stood a few feet away, watching them with tears streaming down her face. Sharon Grace had her arm around Star's shoulders for support.Ethan Hector stood separately, surrounded by four armed special agents. His eyes never left Achilles, that twisted smile still curling on his lips.The sound of expensive shoes clicking against the pavement made everyone turn with sharp exhalation.Mr. Montoya emerged from a black sedan, alongside three bodyguards. His silver hair was perfectly combed, his three-piece suit immaculate. But his face carried something cold and
