Richard walked into a house with a bright smile on his face. He regarded the whole place for a moment before he turned to the man behind him. “This place is nice, tell that to Giovanni. Also, tell him that I’m expecting the other thing.”The man nodded once. “Alright, sir.”Richard walked to his room where a sealed box was. He took it and unlocked it. A smile appeared on his face as he pulled out everything in it.He hesitated at the last piece in the box. He read through it briefly.A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. He placed the piece back inside the box.He placed the box on the bed and got up. He opened the door and looked at the man standing in front of the door. It was a different guy from before.“Yes, is everything alright?”“Yes, boss. The boss sent me and several men over here. We will be your security guards now,” he revealed.Richard felt even happier. “Giovanni knew exactly what to do and when to do it. Did he tell you another thi
“If Hercules’s elders really set you up. Then, they must be trying to stop you from becoming the king of the world,” Sam explained.“Does that mean there’s a new Hercules? “ Robert inquired.“I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t think it’s Hercules’ elders,” Martin voiced out.Giovanni released a sigh. “I spoke with the head of police and he promised to help us.”Giovanni suspected Alfred and Gregory but he wasn’t so sure. What would Alfred gain by doing something like that? Maybe they were doing it to get back at him for killing Grey. Giovanni still couldn’t find anything to show the involvement of Hercules’ elders.“Has the news stopped?”“Yes, immediately. But you all should watch out for any site that brings out this kind of news. We must prevent it all. I am going to be the king of the world. The throne belongs to me.”“We will do all we can to make sure you get this throne,” Martin assured.Giovanni nodded once. “I’m going to meet with one of the judges tomorrow. I will do all I c
"Are you sure your plan is going to work?" Maro inquired.Alex nodded once. "My father has accepted me already. I have nothing to worry about that. But yes, I have a perfect plan already," he assured. "Im going to Italy to get more powerful and like I said, I won't be coming back anytime soon." He stood. "I'm leaving in one hour, get everything ready," he ordered.Maro took a short bow and walked out.Alex decided to use a stone to kill two birds. He didn't know how long it was going to take his father to help him clear the mess. Alex didn't know how long he was supposed to stay hidden. He couldn't even bear it anymore.He didn't even know why his father doesn't want him to leave Jacksonville in the first place. It was the best thing for him to do.Nonetheless, he had found a way to escape. He laughed at this..Aphrodite adjusted on the bed, with a smile plastered on her face. She opened her eyes suddenly, just as the door opened and Grey walked inside."You sleep like a baby," he c
Charles looked at Grey. "Go now! I will distract him!" He said quickly and rushed out of the elevator.Grey covered his face very well with the hood and turned aside.It was at this moment that Alex rounded off what he was saying to his men and turned towards the elevator. His eyes went wide with shock as he looked at Charles."Charles?"Charles feigned surprise, as he stood in front of the elevator so that Alex wouldn't be able to enter.Alex didn't suspect anything as his attention was on Charles. "It's actually pleasing to meet you here. But I'm not here for you.""How disappointing," Charles voiced out suddenly, as the elevator closed. He released a sigh of relief. "I actually knew how notorious your father was," he eventually stepped aside from the elevator. "But I didn't expect him to shamelessly let you off the hook. You disgraced him. Yet, he's still willing to risk his reputation to get you out."Alex scoffed. "What do you think? I'm sure you are just bitter for Grey. Grey did
Grey was fuming when he arrived at the floor where Maximo's office was.There were two security men in front of his office. Grey moved closer nonetheless."Who are you?" One of the men asked as they tried to stop Grey from entering.Grey ignored them and made towards the door. One of the men caught him by the hand and made to punch him with the other one.But Grey dodged it and gave him a blow in the mouth. The man staggered back and vomited blood.Grey had this dark frown on his face as he turned towards the second man. He backed away briefly, now seeing his face and remembering that Grey was friends with Maximo."You can go in," he said hurriedly, with a shaking voice.Well, he remembered that Grey had defeated Maximo in a fight. So, he would be no match for him. Fighting him would be useless.Grey clenched his fist angrily, ready to smash anyone that dared him. He stomped inside.Maximo stood up quickly when the door opened. He regarded Grey for a moment. "Grey? I thought you left
The door opened suddenly and Maximo's secretary walked inside.Alex stopped walking and turned around, his focus now on the secretary, the book shelf already forgotten.The secretary gaze searched around briefly."Yes, what is it?" Maximo demanded."Miss Robinson is here. She's supposed to see you this morning. But I don't know if you are ready to meet with her."Maximo cleared his throat meaningfully. "Let her in. I'm free at this moment to attend to her."The secretary bowed slightly. "Alright boss," she finished and walked out.Maximo looked at Alex. "You will have to leave now. As you can see, I have something else to do."Alex gave him a long stare. "I will be watching you," he gave him the last warning before he walked out of the office.Maximo closed his eyes briefly, while inhaling a sighing breath. "Make sure Alex leaves this territory, before you report to me," he ordered.The man bowed slightly. "Yes boss," and walked out of the office.A soft knock sounded on the door almo
Avery stopped the door before it would close. She rushed out of the elevator and realised that the man was gone.Wait, she couldn't have imagined him. Avery had Grey in mind but he wasn't the one he was thinking about at that moment.There was no way she would be hallucinating. It was very impossible. And the man clearly walked past her. It was weird.Avery walked back to Maximo's office and regarded the two men in front of the office for a moment. She didn't know if she was supposed to enter Maximo's office. What excuse was she going to give Maximo? That she wanted to check if her ex-husband was in his office.What if he wasn't?Damn! Grey was dead!Avery heard the news as well. She didn't get herself for some days after the announcement. The fact that she knew that Grey was killed gave her a feeling close to fear.Grey was bombed. He could have been annoying when they were married but Avery wished she could meet him again. In fact, she realised after a few months that Grey was a g
Grey pulled out of the garage while Charles spoke to Luciano."Luciano is on the way to your house. He would contact Dante on his way," Charles announced.Grey nodded once. "Good," he muttered."What's your plan?""Call the men. They are supposed to meet us at the hotel. Find a nice hostel to lodge them."Charles was alarmed. "Are you going to show yourself to Alex? We can't afford that actually. It's going to ruin our plan.""I have no plan to do that, Charles. So, relax. I'm going to protect the men but I won't risk my life either," he took a turn suddenly and glanced back. "Why aren't you calling anyone?""Why do I feel like you are about to embark on something very dangerous?"Grey smiled softly. " If Alex is here, he must definitely plan to stay in Italy till he can return to Jacksonville as a free man. And that will totally happen when Giovanni gets the award as the king of the world," he explained.Charles regarded him for a moment as realisation dawned on him. "Because he gets
