"The men will lead you to where Alex has kept the web developer. I won't be going with you. I will instead meet with Luciano. Also, Dante should join you at Alex's place. Just send me the address," he uttered. Charles nodded once. "Alright, I understand." Aphrodite looked at Grey. "Should I come with you?" Grey nodded once. "Yes, we are going home together. Charles will handle the rest." Aphrodite nodded once and walked to one of Alex's cars with Grey. Grey bent slightly to look at one of the reporters who was shivering in fear. "It's ok. You are safe," Grey assured and pulled down the mask so that the reporter would see his face. The reporter nodded once. "Thank you so much, sir." "Let's go. There's a place you have to be. You need to relocate now anyways since someone is after your life," Grey explained. The man nodded once and got out of the car. And they both walked to one of their cars and drove off, leaving Charles behind with the men. Charles moved closer to one of the m

“You did?” Maximo felt enraged.“I’m so sorry, boss. I did what I thought was right,” Simon announced.Maximo regarded him for a moment. “Did you tell him that Grey is alive?”Simon shook his head briefly. “I didn’t. I didn’t do that. I merely wanted Alex to see Grey. This was why I staged everything.”Maximo clenched his fist in anger. “How could you let Alex suspect me? I still had a lot to deal with from him! How could you let him do that to me?” He yelled.Simon bowed. “I’m sorry boss. You have to forgive me. I did it all with your best interest in mind,” he pleaded.Maximo hit him across the face so fast and in anger. He pulled him up violently. “ How dare you do that? I’m the boss! You don’t act behind my back!” He yelled.“I’m sorry, boss. I thought it was the best!”Maximo released him suddenly. “This had better be the last time you will do this. If you try something like this again, I will have no choice but to kill you!” He shouted. “Do you understand?”Simon nodded quickly

“What! You did what? You killed him? But why did you do that?”Maximo released a sigh. “Well, I had no choice.""Of course you did. You could have left the city. Why would you think the only solution is killing him?""Because that was the only solution," he sighed. "He kidnapped Simon and threatened to kill him if I didn't show up," he revealed.Grey stared at him for a moment. "What!"Maximo nodded once. "I couldn't let Simon die. We've been together since we were so young. I just couldn't_," his voice trailed off.Grey released a sigh. "I understand, Maximo. I would do the same actually."Maximo looked at him for a moment. "I planned to speak with him. I had nothing to say but it was all to fulfil my intention," he chuckled. "So, I killed him," he revealed.Grey nodded once. "And what has that got to do with Alex?"Maximo went quiet as if trying to remember what had actually happened. "He had me recorded. And he's currently using it against me."Grey released an exasperated sigh and

"Nothing?" Giovanni raised skeptical brows. "Nothing at all? Is this supposed to be a joke?""We just couldn't find anything concerning the billionaire president. It was as if they hadn't selected any," one of his men responded.Giovanni looked away for a moment as he thought about it. It was strange anyway. Italy was always fast about things like that. They have always been desperate especially after Giovanni had always done his best to make sure they fail at it.Yes, Giovanni has been the one planning against them. And he does plan against a lot of countries so that he would have the highest chance to be appointed as the king of the world the fourth time.And when that happens, he would become one of the elite members which was his dream, the reason why he was working so hard.With the position and power at his fingers, he would be able to command some authorities. He would be invincible."What if they are withdrawing? What if they decided not to participate in this year's program?

Grey turned to look at her suddenly, with a clear expression. “Sorry?”Avery's eyes went wide with shock as she continued to stare at Grey. “Grey?” She called again, softly with a shaking voice.Grey shook his head briefly. “You seem to have it wrong, ma’am. I don’t know who you are,” He muttered in a deep and different voice from the one that Avery was familiar with.“Obviously,” Maximo said quickly and looked at Avery. “Miss Avery? What are you doing here?”Avery recognized Maximo immediately. “Mr. Maximo!” She smiled faintly. “I-,” she hesitated for a moment. “I lodged here,” she said eventually. “I didn’t expect to meet you here, actually. I didn’t even know you were the one standing near him,” she glanced at Grey slightly. “I thought he was someone I know.”Maximo shook his head briefly. “You must have been mistaken. David here is one of our employees. He’s not Grey. I guess he just looks like someone you know but he’s not definitely.”Grey looked at Maximo quickly, with a raised
