Chapter 386 - 157: Armando's story

After hearing from Arriane, Simone feels a little disappointed with Ethan but still have a doubt if what her daughter's suspicion is somehow feasible especially when her husband talks to her about Ethan, she then somehow believe that it is possible that her daughter is just jealous and she can't think clearly at the time. They then put matters aside and decided to go out to enjoy each other's company while they go sightseeing and buying gifts to bring back home for everyone.

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Ethan and the rest of the Eagle squad team tried to come up with a report and submit it to their superiors before they went to go for a few days or maybe weeks vacations. After that assignment, they all feel like life is too short and they haven't enjoyed it to the fullest. As for the President, he ordered his personal Secretary to call.for a meeting with all the members of the Parliament to decide on what they are going to do with the recent incident involving the Eagle squad rescue operation in Berlin against the Kamran terrorists.

On the other hand, Armando submitted his report to the office of the President after meeting his comrades at their secret base, he then took a cab to take him to Sheffield's house where Arriane is patiently waiting for him after buying all the essential things that she needed to buy on the grocery. That night they returned to the island to stay there for a while with the kids and the scientists.

Later that night, Morgana and her sister are out on the beach drinking a few bottles of beer with Daisy Armando and the others. As the night grows old, Morgana notice Armando sitting on the side in silence, he seems to be preoccupied with something that he didn't hear Morgana calling his name.

Uncle Armando??? Morgana repeated for the third time as Armando didn't hear her for the first and second time when Armando came to his senses because Lewis who sat beside him, nudge him with his elbow he looks at everyone looking confused.

Hey, Armando.... What's get into you? Your mind seems to wander off as we are here enjoying the night, do you have a problem??? Lewis asks after seeing the confusion in Armando's eyes.

Armando: " Ah, I'm sorry, I just remember something. Armando explained as he bowed his head looking sadder than before.

Ah??? I wonder what is it that you remember??? I've been calling your name for the third time and you didn't seem to hear me; " Morgana remarks looking at Armando

The others nodded as they also look at Armando wanting to ask, but they decided to keep it to themselves as they didn't want to meddle with others' life especially if that person doesn't have a plan to share it with them.

I was just thinking of the past years when I was busy working on the field. Ah... Those were the days of endless running and pursuing opponents while trying not to get killed in the process, I really miss those days. Morgana, can I talk to you in private??? I have something that I need to tell you. Armando explained before he turns to look at Morgana

Morgana: " Oh, sure..... Morgana stood up and walked away from the others. She just walks a few steps away from the others with Armando when they heard Arriane's voice calling out to her.

".... Wait a minute, is it really too confidential that you can't let even me hear it??? Arriane asks as she strode over to the two who stood in a not too far distance looking at her.

Armando: " Oh, of course, you can. Silly me, why did I forget about you??? Your sister will tell you about it anyway so there is no harm letting you join us.

The three of them walked farther away from the others who continue drinking beers and chatting.

Morgana: " uncle Armando, what is it??? Do you have a problem that you don't want the others to know??? Looking at Armando worriedly, Morgana asks hesitantly as she didn't want to offend Armando in the slightest

"...." Ah, no..... I don't have a problem, I just asked to talk to you in private as I don't want Lewis and his men to hear it. It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that.... You and your sister know about my secret but they don't, so, I just can't say things that I wanted to say in front of them. Armando said explaining to both Morgana and Arriane.

Okay, soooo, what has it got to do with what you are going to tell my sister??? Arriane interjected after listening to Armando's explanation

Armando: " ah, it's like this, you both know that I am the head of the operation of the project " the gangster" I know that the name of the project sound so stupid but it is the only name that we came up to during that time. We, meaning your father and our other colleagues. Anyway, the reason why I want to talk to you is that I want to go back to the field with you guys and let your father handle all the matters regarding the project. You know that I too have a system and that I need to upgrade it in order for it to help me in the near future.

You both know about my system but.... I didn't tell you about the story of my life and how I manage to acquire the system. Actually, I.... I am not really from this world, I mean, I don't know if the place where I come from is still a part of this planet or if I'm from another dimension of this planet. By the way, to make things more clear, let me tell you my story. Armando continues talking after a short paused and proceeded to explain to Morgana and Arriane, he then told the sister about his life story from beginning to end.

It turns out that Armando is not from this world or from this earth's dimension like the system. Armando is actually a brave and courageous leader of their department working for the government, just like his current position now. Unfortunately, he schemed by someone in their department who envied him and wanted to take his position. That person schemed against him to have him killed, but before Armando took his final breath and lose his consciousness he saw a light and he actually thought that it was the gate of heaven. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself lying on a hospital bed, with the same name, body, and looks but a different world.
