At exactly 9:30 PM, Achilles left the penthouse suite without a word to the Faithfuls who were in their respective rooms.

All they heard was the engine acceleration while whooshing out of the suite.

It didn't surprise them that the Warlord didn't inform them where he was heading as he was a man of distinct intent.

Achilles while driving entertained an incoming call from a secured line:

“I'm three minutes out. I had to ensure the special agents had reassigned their positions for dinner before leaving.”

“Did you remember to remove the monitoring chip implanted in your arms?”

“Sure I did. I'd definitely not leave the villa if I hadn't done the needful.”

“Good. Make sure you're not being followed. You already know what's at stake if that happens.”

With that, the call ended. Achilles was thirty seconds out when he received a text message from another line:

[Hey. I'm already at the location.]

Achilles took the last swerve and screeched to a halt beside a tree and made his way to the undergr

    Alias Raphael’s shoulders quivered in goosebumps as his fingers slowly withdrew to his waist. His heart raced in shock as he bulged his eyes in disbelief.He literally held his chest with his hand to control his skipping heartbeat. He stepped to the bathroom to indulge the caller, but the call disconnected on his way, while a text message came in that summarized why the caller buzzed his phone the first time.Hence, he hadn't been receiving a call like the chief enforcer, ‘Mr. Owen and others had thought…Sharon Grace returned to the living room with an unpredictable beam curled on her left lip.She walked closer with her arms folded, as if there was an intent behind her gesture.

    “With how you smacked his face on the parade ground. No one would have believed you were elated about your father's demise. You wreck them emotionally and give a befitting show!”Those words spilled from the chief executor, who was also in the large room, to receive feedback on the meeting with Margaret Julian.During their last meeting, they signaled Alias Raphael to carry out the pretentious card to lure his half-sister in for an obvious purpose.‘Mr. Owen’s return might seem like a surprise to others, but the chief enforcer had been working with him closely after his decision to give his nephew hints about being alive.The best play was to bring Alias Raphael back on board with the strategic snapped shots to get his half-sister on her toes.Alias Raphael's tone oozed with intent, “Awwn! You heard of my performance that fateful day? I had everyone emotionally played on my father's purported assassination. I couldn't have him swaying them with his confident speech about his father be

    He continued, his expression flushed with complications, “Exactly why I need his damn son to know I'm still alive ‘cause I must finish what I started and wipe off anything connected to him!”They understood better why the purported Mr. Owen instructed alias Raphael on the doppëlganger cover story to Margaret Julian.They knew Michael saying ‘twin brother’ instead would sound too straightforward and could suggest he knew more.They had strategically planned everything while the images were taken to prove that a mystery was looming.Since he wanted the exiled warlord to know of his existence, taking the photos was needed.Turning towards the alias Raphael with a grin. “Bad guy. After shagging Star, you passed her over to him? As what? An outdated whore!”They all bounced back to intense laughter. The ladies in the room had higher voices and didn't let the giggling pass by without being at the forefront.“He's damn unbelievable! I introduced a girl to him— he started falling head over he

    E.H. quarters erupted into mocking laughter, and for a moment, they raised their glasses and clicked with smug countenances.The alias Raphael mouthed, “That was a perfected scheme and no one suspected it wasn't Brig. Hector, that old fool!”His expression turned stern, “My father thought I gave a fuck about their so-called bonded friendship—”One of the personnel in the room chipped in. “Who would have thought you desperately wanted your father eliminated?”Again they all giggled at their devilish mastermind on how brows weren't raised on where the heat actually came from.“Exactly! That's why I had to provide the weapon after extracting Brig. Hector’s fingerprint. It was so smooth after serving the fool a glass of champagne. He never knew what was coming.”The so-called alias Raphael spoke with a gloating gesture, his eyes filled with a cold glint as his lips widened in stern speeches.The purported Mr. Owen blurted with a sneer. “Haha. You needed to see Sire Rollins' puzzled face w

    The receptionist mouthed in a soft tone. “Here are the assigned codes to lock the doors, the code expires in two seconds. Mr. Owen doesn't like to be kept waiting, and he's at E.H. quarters. Good luck.”With those subtly distinct instructions, the receptionist walked off, leaving him stuck in his reality.There were three designated codes on the card and before his arrival. Mr. Owen had already informed the receptionist to prepare unlocking codes for a certain visitor.The first door beeped and he walked in as quickly as possible before the door unlocked. When his eyes glanced at the executive's large room, he understood why it should be off-limits for most staff in the hotel.He finally got to the third door boldly written: E.H. QUARTERS and inputted the last code on the card.Immediately the door unlocked, his eyes didn't just meet one person but an extra five faces whose eyes were fixated on the door, expecting his arrival.One of the personnel in the E.H. quarters chimed in, voice

    Margaret's question echoed more like a request to Achilles. The Warlord suspected she had almost drifted from the script and could have probably given Michael hints about knowing more than expected.Maybe if Michael had more information about Ethan Hector, she could have spilled more than required.One of the reasons was how much longer she had wanted to be recognized as part of the Julian family by Michael. Hence, such an unexpected recognition by him could have widened her lips more.Achilles moved his tongue with precision, “My path with Michael Julian will surely cross again but not immediately.”His tone was weighty, “If he’s really genuine then fate had him in the right place at the perfect time to have a personal encounter with the purported dead Ethan.”“I still don't trust him and maybe he meant well to get to the root of the sinister plot that claimed the lives of both our fathers— the future will decide.”The Faithfuls listened attentively to the Warlord's diplomatic respon
