136: Eunice/Felix?
The Faithfuls narrowed their eyes towards the Warlord. They weren't really surprised about him taking proactive measures immediately after receiving the information.On seeing their reactions, the Warlord inquired with intent, “What do you guys think about a man who sought to get to the root of a case, suddenly flushes it down the drain when he's a few steps in finding all the answers?”Anthony and Mr. Scott blinked their eyelids in acknowledgment. That was the same question making waves in their minds.Dora was about to respond before Achilles clicked his lips and spoke. “My dear, that was rhetorical…”Achilles continued, “Mr. Donald, from the onset, was on the right track. He must have been influenced to do the stark opposite. Ohh, I'm so sure of that.”They inquired in unison, as though it was scripted, “Could it be blackmail?”Achilles exuded a mysterious smirk. “Now y'all are thinking like the Warlord. That's why I already initiated a discreet investigation on him.”“The best way
135: Under The Rug
The Faithfuls had been so hooked on managing A and H Enterprises that they slightly lost track of the Haydens’ fraudulent interrogation case.They knew that the British Anti-Fraud Crime and Commission got involved which was a good sign of exposing what the offshore accounts were really used for.Achilles' abrupt information came as a shock. The investigation was about to kick-start and suddenly charges had been dropped.All shades of the latest information smelled suspicious. The lovebird darted their eyes to understand what was going on. Another detail that they needed to be fully informed about.Margaret tucked her phone back into her pocket and spilled the obvious question:“This must have been done under the radar ‘cause it wasn't broadcast on most media outlets. What really happened? Is there something we're missing?”The furious aura once etched on Brig. Stone's expression suddenly faded into a disbelief countenance.From how he stared and snapped his fingers. It looked like Mar
134: Eyes On Targets
Achilles beamed and leaned from his high chair. Dora was spilling the exact thing he discussed with George weeks ago after they realized Victoria was his stepmother.Achilles knew George was still battling with the trauma of what she had done while married to his late father.The Warlord deliberately allowed him to think things through and make up his mind on the battle ahead.In barely an hour of the newly inducted members. Dora could sense the doubt and fear George was wrestling with.Brig. Stones remained stunned and wondered how she meticulously read through his tone. At least he thought Rachael could have whispered a word about him to Dora, but on second thought, it dawned on him that nothing of such happened.He had to inquire, “Wow… how did you?—”Dora politely interjected, “Because my older sister and I also had a step-mother. She might be dead but the images of how horribly she treated us still flash once in a while.”The atmosphere flushed into subtle emotions as Dora and Ra
133: Lovebirds&Male-brigadiers
The curiosity in the room intensified after Ms. Julian's last words. She had been in steady communication with the sources in Liverpool, hence, it was expected she'd have more information on the unfolding events.Achilles gave a signal for her to continue for better clarity, as time mightn't be on their side.Anthony and Dora, who were barely inducted thirty minutes ago, were already hooked to know all therein about the struggle for power between Felix Jacobs and Victoria Stones.Brig. Stone’s face was contorted with a frown. He had had enough time to ponder about his step-mother and it'd end in one outcome: an inevitable battle!Margaret cleared her throat. “Our sources detected an ambush shortly before the rooftop meeting commenced.”Her words echoed across the room and had the Faithfuls’ faces flushed with confusion.Brig. Beauty was the first to make an inquiry, “An ambush? Didn't they agree on a suitable meet-up location?”Her question resonated with others as they nodded to supp
132: Power Loggerheads
The complicated smirk found on Achilles' face wavered into a serious expression.Margaret cleared her throat while her chest skipped nonstop, wondering what had happened earlier.However, she managed to get a grip of herself and readjusted while leaning from her seat.“Yes. We have further information and from a thorough spying— we discovered the gang that pulled the trigger was positioned and sanctioned by Abel's younger brother, Felix Jacobs.”Achilles nodded with a scoff. “As expected. Felix would do whatever was necessary to protect his brother's location to avoid being a pawn in someone's game.”He maintained his attention to Margaret. “The assassinated gang was from which plug? Oh, please, don't tell me you've got no clue.”Margaret cleared her throat the second time within two minutes and stood with her phone.Achilles stared at her with anticipation. He knew how vital it was to figure out the other team player.Margaret took a quick glance at everyone in the living room before
131: Margaret's Feelings
The Warlord hummed one of his favorite classics while fetching another shot of the rich wine.They all watched him with mixed emotions as they entertained silent questions:‘Hmm. The Warlord seems relaxed about the news from Madrid. Has he got a plan or something? Where exactly did he head out to?’Achilles had deliberately kept his meeting with the Prime Minister and his older brother, Mr. Montoya untold. Not because he didn't trust the Faithfuls, but it was all about timing, and he thought the time hadn't clicked yet.Achilles returned to his high chair with his legs crossed, his countenance devoid of tension or suspense.Finally, he broke the silence knowing the Faithfuls should have nursed silent thoughts:“Abel Hitler's fake death scheme wasn't orchestrated by like-minded personalities. Those involved certainly share opposite interests, motives, and wills.”The Faithfuls maintained keen attention on Achilles. His swiftness in catching up with the Madrid news had been impressive.
