Chapter 51

Arnaldo Pangilinan

I didn't expect him to become an enemy so soon. I was thinking about what I should do to someone like him. He will be a big hindrance if it happens, and I will not let him destroy our plan.

"Do you think he knows that Lucia is alive? And did he join forces with Don Timothy?" I immediately asked.

We were all having our urgent online meeting about this man, Arnaldo Pangilinan, who may be a threat to our plan. His actions and intentions could ruin the task we are currently working on. The urgency of the situation was clear, as we discussed the potential risks he posed and how we might need to adjust our plans to counter his actions.

"I don't think so," Mr. Islwynn replied. "Lucia being alive was kept secret. Only a few trusted people of Don Timothy knew the truth, along with us."

"I also don't believe they've joined forces. Don Timothy has always been cautious about alliances, especially with someone new in this world like Arnaldo. It's more likely they're playing their own games." Hiroki spoke. They're the ones we waited for at this meeting because they were the last to arrive.

"Arnaldo is unpredictable, and if he discovers Lucia is alive... I don't know what will happen, especially since we don't know his true intentions." I said.

"Right! We can't underestimate him," Mr. Lim added said.

Camille nodded in agreement. "We need to stay vigilant and stay ahead of him. Our plan depends on it."

The tension in the virtual room became more intense as each of us weighed our thoughts carefully.

"We need to ensure we're prepared for any scenario involving Arnaldo. We don't know what he is planning to do." Theron suggested, breaking the brief silence that followed Camille's statement.

"We should also consider monitoring his movements closely. If he's unaware of Lucia, we might have an advantage, but if he starts moving against us, we'll need to be prepared." Hiroki added thoughtfully. I nodded in agreement, thinking about the various scenarios that could unfold.

"What's the plan, then?" Mr. Evander interjected. "Arnaldo's unpredictability makes him a formidable opponent."

"Milo, come back here and take the lead in gathering all the possible information and actions you can on Arnaldo. The rest of us will move quickly to our task and complete it as soon as possible. We'll deal with that man after this." I clenched my jaw as I gave instructions. We can't afford any more delays. "That's all for this meeting. We'll see you all here."

"Meeting adjourned."

Briggs Revamonte

Boris Alcantara

Blaze Romero

These three are the ones we will pick up here and bring with us.

"What's the plan? How are we going to persuade these three? They might resist if we force them." Camille asked. We're in a presidential suite at a five-star hotel here in Cebu. We decided to stay here first before going to the resthouse because we need to be vigilant. There might be eyes watching us. They might not know that we have a plan to meet up at the resthouse. We're just diverting their attention for now, and they won't disturb us here because there are many people around.

"They won't resist. Trust me," I said confidently, looking directly at her and smirked as I sipped my wine. Then, I glanced at the photos of those three on the table.

"How sure are you about that? These people are not just someone we can underestimate."

"They may have two reactions only if they saw us, it's either surprise or..."
