212: ‘Fathers’
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 An outdated whore!”They all bounced back to intense laughter.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
211: Better Twin
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
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
