Richard turned to grab his injection. "Please, have mercy on me. Please, don't test anything on me," a man that was trapped at the lab table pleaded as Richard injected him.He regarded the man for a moment. He smiled softly. "Looks like I'm on it."The man suddenly started shuddering and gasping for air.Richard sighed, disappointed. "A failure again. Get me another test object," he muttered."Boss, a male or female?" One of the men asked, with confusion."I don't care! Just get me one test object!" He yelled and the man rushed out.Richard was fuming with rage at the failure of his test again. He wondered when he was eventually going to succeed. He has prolonged things too much that got Giovanni angry at him.But he thought the recipe was going to make things easy for him. But that wasn't the case. He has been failing, except for the first two steps that seemed to have succeeded on one of the test subjects.Gunshots were heard from outside suddenly. Richard stepped back, alarmed.
Aurora hugged Charles so tight. She was so happy that he came for her. Well, she knew that he would.Charles pulled back after a while and looked at her. "Are you ok? I hope they didn't touch you?"Aurora smiled and nodded quickly. She looked back briefly, at the new friends she just made.The men with Charles were going into the rooms and releasing all the people in them.Tiana and her friend walked out to Aurora. "See? I told you that someone was going to come up for me," Aurora jubilated.Tiana nodded once and looked at the other girl. "You can leave now, you are saved," she assured with a smile."What about you?"Tiana shrugged briefly. "I don't know. Maybe I'm going to stay and wait for one of them to come back for me."Aurora was alarmed. "What do you mean? Why can't you come with us? Where are your families? Your parents? Or siblings?"Tiana shook her head briefly. "I have none. Besides, the doctor has already tried two of his drugs on me. Would I really be the same if I leave
Giovanni, Alex, and his men got to Richard's house.He saw the corpses laying around and he went red with anger. "Who the fuck did this?" He yelled."I will check around for anyone," one of the men told Giovanni and hurried inside with some of the men."Where's Richard? Find him!" Giovanni muttered.Several men rushed inside again.Giovanni entered the main lab room. His gaze searched around quickly before he rushed toward the table where several syringes were.He searched for the tablet but didn't see it. His mind made a sudden thud at the fact staring right at him. Could the attacker have taken both Richard and the tablet?"What are you looking for, father?""The recipe. I mean no one would go for the recipe unless they know its usefulness. Asides, who would do something like that?""And are you sure it wasn't Richard? He could be trying to play smart with you. You did tell me he had been struggling with the steps. What if he had figured it out and had to stage this because he didn'
Avery knew that she had to do something and it had to be very fast. Alex wasn't supposed to see Grey at that moment.She looked at Grey. "Can we leave now?"Though, she knew that wasn't going to be easy. Leaving would mean Alex seeing Grey and that was what she wanted to avoid.Grey raised confused brows. "But we just got here. Why do you want us to leave? I've already ordered something for us to drink and chew on. Is there something else wrong?" He was skeptical.Avery bent suddenly, "I think I'm having pains in my tummy," she lied and feigned pain. "I think we need to leave this instance," she looked ahead of him, at Alex who was currently speaking to an unknown man in the club.Grey saw this and followed the path of her gaze. He was quick to look away just as Alex looked over to their side.Grey's heart made a sudden thud at this. What the fuck was Alex doing in his club? Actually, he thought Megaphone Attitude would be the safest for him. Why would Alex come to his club?And Avery
“So, have you settled with the barman?” Avery asked as she got inside the car beside Grey.Grey nodded once. “What were you discussing with Alex?”Avery regarded him for a moment. “You know who Alex is?” she feigned surprise.“I thought I told you I was a mafia lord. Why won't I know the likes of Alex?” he grunted and started the ignition.Avery laughed. “Great, I'm glad you know a lot of people. It's really going to help my business.”Grey grunted and pulled the car out of the park and into the street. “Which hospital would you like us to go to? And how do you feel now?”“Well, let's check out another club because I currently feel very good.”Grey couldn't believe it. “What?”“Yes, I suddenly feel better. It's a miracle, isn't it? Let's find a nice club to go to. Maybe a club owned by Alfred.”Grey glanced at her. “Oh, you knew clubs owned by Alfred. Apparently, you knew that Megaphone Attitude belonged to Hercules?”“Yes,” Avery smiled briefly. “The dead Hercules.”Grey was a bit su
"Please," Avery said softly, her voice sounding as desperate as ever. Grey had never heard her sound like that. He had to succumb. "Alright, I will see what I can do about it," he assured. There was a few minutes of silence. "You promised?" Grey found himself smiling. "Ok, I promise. I will." "Alright, later then," she muttered and hung up. Grey placed a call to Charles. He hadn't heard anything from him since morning and he was supposed to be in Jacksonville already. Charles picked it up immediately. "Hello, Grey. I and Aphrodite just arrived in Jacksonville. I will meet up with Alfred and Gregory so we can go on with our plan," he muttered. Grey nodded once. "Alright, tell Aphrodite to stay alarmed. When Jimmy tries his best to help me eliminate the security problem, he might need help with sending my suit inside. So, she could help him." "Alright, I heard that," Aphrodite responded. “But who is Jimmy? I thought Jimmy died already.” “Yes. This Jimmy is the man from Giovanni
Within minutes, Grey was already clad in the blue suit. "You can go inside immediately. The men wouldn't notice," Jimmy muttered. Grey nodded once. "I will be expecting you very soon. Jimmy nodded once. "Alright boss." Grey walked out from hiding and moved towards the door. Truly, no one stopped him as they thought he was one of them. But when he got to the main door, he discovered that there were other security guards. And they were dressed in a tuxedo. It was as if it was planned. Grey bowed slightly so that they wouldn't be able to see his face, even though he has glasses on. "Is everything wrong? Why aren't you at the garage?" "There's something I need to tell the boss. That's why I'm here." The man regarded Grey for a moment. "I'm sorry but I can't let you in. The boss didn't give me the order to let any man unverified inside." "I'm not unverified. I work for him. I just need to give him some information. Jimmy is around and he wants me to pass some information to him. I
Maximo and the rest of the elders got to the entrance but they weren't allowed to enter. Charles had already arrived with some of his men as well.So, Grey's men and Maximo's men came together to fight Giovanni's men.Jimmy hadn't shown up and Grey was still waiting in the restroom. And the special was about to announce the King of the world."Where is Grey?" Dante required.Maximo didn't reply as he dialled Grey's number. Grey picked it up immediately. "Hi, Grey. Where are you?""I'm in the restroom. I'm waiting for Jimmy or Aphrodite to come with my clothes.""Damn! You have to be fast. I just received a piece of information that the announcement for the king of the world is happening now. You have to enter the hall.""Find me Aphrodite. I can't leave this place. Find her and get my clothes. That's the only way out," he informed and the line went off."Is everything alright?" Enzo asked.Maximo turned to them. "Grey is already inside but he needs to change so he can enter the hall."
