210: E.H. QUARTERS
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
209: OFF-LIMITS AREA
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
208: Achilles' Stance
Achilles' thick words crashed against the walls and left the Faithfuls plunged in concern. They knew better not to doubt the warlord's words, especially when it came from his gut.Oftentimes in the past, when the Warlord had a strong feeling about something, it always found a way to live.Achilles maintained a mysterious composure, his expression screamed seriousness. “Ethan Hector had been out of the scene after successfully framing my dad up and assassinating Sire Rollins Julian. If he’s back then the Cartel needs him.”Margaret lowered her face in subtle emotions. She mightn’t have had the best relationship with her father, but he definitely didn’t deserve to be killed as such.How would she have thought that the assassination of Sire Rollins Julian would have spurred such a level of controversy?Dora froze in motion for a moment, her fingers stroking her lips. “If your uncle is back, as the feeling is tingling. Do you think he’s coming for you?”Another thought-provoking question
207: Cartel's Plot Blueprint
Shock gasps rippled in the atmosphere. Eyes bulged in motion, and they all had their mouths agape in dumbstruck.Afterwards, the Faithfuls indulged in stunned, uncontrollable, indistinct hints.None of them had considered the possibility of the mysterious replica being Brig. Anthony’s twin.Well, how would they? Michael Julian didn't know either, and most likely his assassinated father, Sire Rollins Julian, didn't tell him as well.Achilles Hector went further. “He's alive… yeah he's been alive for twenty years and the world didn't know.”His words were simple, but its weight was felt deep in their chests, and they understood the implication of that.The puzzle behind the Cartel's devilish mastermind gradually started forming into full shape with the reappearance of a certain weird replica, called Ethan Hector.Brig Beauty folded her arms, still shaken by Achilles' information about Ethan Hector mysteriously surviving the Iron Peace Vigilante’s tragedy.“Little wonder, the Cartel was
206: Iron Peace Vigilante's Tragedy
Their tongues were so rigid that they couldn't ask any questions despite the confusion. Achilles would have to make things clearer.Achilles' hands tucked in his pocket as he glanced at their perplexed gesture one more time.“I’ll take it that my father never mentioned his twin brother to y'all?”They didn't make any verbal sounds, only unified body gestures with shaking of their heads.Achilles helped himself with a glass of champagne that Brig. Beauty had served him fifteen minutes ago when Sharon Grace's topics were clutched in their lips.The Warlord’s body swelled with adrenaline but he was doing all he could to calm his nerves— his father's words kept banging in his head.“My father had a twin brother, Ethan Hector. I saw him a few times before the tragedy that struck twenty years ago.”In the spur of the moment, Dora's lips widened, “Tragedy? What happened two decades ago?”Achilles drew a calm breath and sipped the champagne for a moment.“Ethan Hector was also in the military
205: “He's The Twin”
Sharon Grace nodded without hesitation. “True dear. This is fated. I can feel it right in my gut.”She dressed Star's hair sideways and added, “Alright. I'll tell you about certain events that occurred in the past, but I’d need to take a shower and cool off my head, a lot has really happened.”Star was on the brink of protesting, but on second thought, she nodded. “Okay. Hope you won't develop cold feet afterwards and continually feed your procrastination?”Sharon beamed and booped her nose, then teased, “Well… maybe I would… Of course, I won't.”Both eyes exchanged growing delighted glances before Sharon exited to do the needful. Star let out a deep breath and used the time to stare at the artistic designs. She could literally glance at them all day without necessarily getting bored.Dr. Lloyd huffed in fear and frustration. ‘Sharon, you should have just let the cat out of the bag already. Shit.’He was already beaming in anticipation to feed Achilles more information but that would
