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.
130: News From Madrid
They all drank while screaming sounds of excitement. One by one, they strode towards the newly inducted members and embraced them alongside a few words of kindness and encouragement.The love birds blushed as they approached them. Beyond the chants and cheering. They didn't have an iota of doubt that every single person in the living room would protect them no matter the odds— likewise.Achilles was the last to stride towards them and deliberately placed his wine glass on their chests before hugging them.The Faithfuls screamed in delight, “Yeahhhh!”The stain of joyous tears was still evident on Dora's face. She'd have a chance to work with her older sister in perfect proximity. The wedding plans would remain pending until the coast was clear.Achilles went back to the high chair and signaled them all to have their seats. He intended to have an exclusive meeting much later with Dora and Anthony where he'd explain things in detail.Achilles cleared his throat once again. “I want to he
129: Dear Loyalists
The Faithfuls, Dora, and Anthony rose to their feet as warm chills cascaded on their shoulders while they let out beautiful smiles.Brig. Rachael Beauty exclaimed in her heart, ‘Yes! Finally!’Dora Beauty was overwhelmed by the Warlord's honorable words and couldn't contain the growing emotions.Before they could spell Jack, she broke me into tears of joy while smiling sheepishly.Anthony Jordan already understood what was unfolding and didn't hesitate to grace her with a passionate hug alongside a few tender kisses.The Faithfuls blushed uncontrollably and teased in unison, “Awwwn! Our Lovebirds! Go get a room…”The atmosphere was thrust into delightful laughter as they welcomed them again. This time around as a bona fide member of the Faithful.While the teasing was ongoing, Achilles winked at Margaret. In response, she understood the signal and went to fetch a bottle of rich wine to make the induction official.While on that, Brig. Stones, seeing Margaret with a wine, understood th
128: Unmasking
Achilles halted on the thought of bringing the love birds into the penthouse until he was certain where their loyalty lay.That Dora was Rachael's younger sister didn't automatically mean the Warlord must trust them and open his arms to receive them into the penthouse.One wrong move could compromise everything they had worked for in the past demanding months and Achilles can't afford to make such mistakes.The Warlord eavesdropping on the conversation between one of the assassins and Anthony made him realize how far the love birds could go in protecting his identity even if their lives would be cut short.Right there he knew it was high time he did the right thing before the cartel would exterminate them and find out Anthony wasn't skilled in martial arts.Achilles waited for almost a minute for his last words to sink in for a better effect.“I know y'all have questions. Before you walk me in on what happened in Madrid. It's high time I did the necessary.”Achilles used over five min
127: A New Home
Five minutes later Anthony Jordan screeched the car to a halt at the exact location he was instructed. It wasn't more than ninety seconds and Achilles marched the car brake behind Anthony's.Immediately Achilles buzzed his phone with a call. Before Anthony exited the apartment, he had instructed Anthony not to alight from the car once he got to the meet-up location.Achilles inquired on the call, “You’re certain they lost you. Huh?”Without hesitation, Anthony responded, “Positive Warlord. We did as you instructed. Hundred percent.”Achilles nodded. He deliberately trailed from behind just in case the troop of assassins was still tailing Anthony. He would have sent them to the underworld if that were the situation.Dora finally parted her lips, “What's the next play?”She believed the Warlord didn't rescue them from a near assassination plot, and get them out of the compromised apartment without having a side-plan in progress.Achilles cleared his throat. “Accelerate the car engine an
