"Sir," The manager cleared his throat meaningfully. "I'm so sorry. I will inform the receptionist about what to do. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. Please, give her the phone." Grey stretched the phone out to the receptionist. The receptionist bowed severally before she took the phone. She knew that Hercules was angry by the tone of his voice. He was a mafia lord anyways and mafia lords were always callous and wicked. She couldn't afford to get on his bad side. "Alright boss," she hung up and looked at Grey. "Please, come with me. I will escort you there." Grey didn't answer her. Instead, he followed her into the elevator. The receptionist almost stopped breathing as the elevator moved slowly. She couldn't believe that she was riding with Hercules alone. If it wasn't because Hercules was in a bad mood, she would have asked for his autograph and framed it. She would make it her next big achievement but maybe a time like that would come again. They both stepped out of the
Giovanni banged his table angrily as he thought about it. He had been deceived by Grey several times. The fact that Grey was as young as his son, yet he could deceive him so much amazed him.He wasn't even ready to think about what would happen after the news got out about Alex's escape.He would need to go through several proceedings to prove himself and escape punishment or the disgrace would be too much for him to handle."So, Alex ran away?" He muttered."Yes, boss. The police looked for him everywhere but they couldn't find him before they left. In fact, after they left, we tried to look for him too but we discovered he wasn't even in the house. One of the cars went missing as well.""Well, one of the security guards said they saw him drive out."Giovanni looked away, as a flash of anger passed through him. "There's only a way out for us both. You have to look for Alex. We have to be the one to deliver him to the police before it gets broadcasted and before it looks like I had pl
“Boss!” a man yelled from afar and several men rushed towards Alex. “We have to leave now boss. We really have to. The police are coming here.”Alex stared at Avery for a moment and aimed to shoot again. But this time, Avery was really fully all over him. There was no way Alex would be able to kill Grey. But that was exactly what he wanted. He didn't expect Avery to even come in. And he wasn't even sure who he shot.“Boss, your father wants us to bring you over,” one of the men said urgently as they started to drag him away.Alex shook his head briefly and instead, aimed the gun at Grey’s leg. He pulled the trigger and a groan erupted before he was eventually pulled away.Actually, the men didn't have the time to cross-check who was with Avery. Maybe they would have allowed Alex to kill one of their boss’ nemesis before they pull him away.For a few minutes, after Alex had left, Grey couldn't move. For once in his life, he felt like an idiot. He walked into Alex's trap without a back
The ambulance arrived at the hospital in a few minutes and while Avery was ushered into the operating room, Grey was led towards another. "We need Doctor Jason now!" One of the nurses yelled. Grey could only watch as he was pulled towards the room. He glanced back, looking at Avery for the last time. His heart ached so much. And he was in for revenge. His mind was made up already. He just needed to get the leg taken care of. He had decided to infiltrate Giovanni's base, no matter what. Soon enough, the doctor walked inside with two nurses. One of the nurses moved towards Grey with a syringe filled with anaesthesia. "No! Don't use that on me. I don't want it," Grey protested, calmly. The nurse looked at the doctor for answers and confirmation. "Mr?" "Grey." "Ok," the doctor nodded briefly. "This injection contains a dose of anaesthesia. And it's important so that you won't feel the pain while we remove the bullet," he explained. "I'm aware." The doctor was shocked. "And you
The men parted slowly, leaving a space for Hercules to drive through.Grey regarded them for a moment. "Good!" He muttered and walked to his car.He got inside and started the ignition. He looked up and realised that Gregory was standing in front of the car.He watched him for another moment before he pressed the accelerator so that the car would move very fast and make Gregory leave.Gregory was instead very determined. Grey realised he was going to kill him and veered from the direction very fast, almost losing control.Grey jerked forward and hit his head on the steering. He hesitated for a few minutes, as the pain in his head collided with the one in his leg and his heart to make him feel very miserable.For a moment, he didn't know what he was supposed to do. The pain in his heart had all gathered and beget anger.The only thing he wanted to do at that moment was kill Giovanni. It was the only way to heal. He couldn't even think clearly. He felt so hurt inside."Grey!" Alfred cal
"Where can Jimmy be?" Charles questioned. "Or could he have betrayed you?"Grey reasoned it for a moment. "I doubt it. It can't be. Jimmy will not betray me."Charles sighed. "You can never be sure of that. Perhaps, he was the cause of what had happened to Aphrodite.""He's not, Charles. I've seen the camera. Jimmy didn't even enter the building.""Alright, so where can he be?""He's obviously with Giovanni. If he is, then damn!" He released a sigh. "I have to get him back.""You will not, Grey. You will let him be. He's gone for good.""No, Charles. I have to get him back. He's one of my men now. So, I have to protect him.""But boss, you can't enter Hercules's base now. It's very dangerous.""Not today, Charles. I will think of something. Call me when Aphrodite wakes up.""Alright boss. Are you really alright?"Grey released a sigh. "I'm fine. I will talk to you later," he finished and hung up.Then, he remembered what he had promised Alfred at the party. He was going to think about
Maria sensed the stiffness in the air when she entered the company. The workers all dispersed but it actually looked like they were murmuring about something in secret.Maria ignored them and walked into the restroom. A few minutes later, she heard several footsteps moving closer. They seemed to have stopped in front of the mirror fastened to the wall."What was that all about?" A feminine voice said suddenly."Sincerely? I have no idea. I mean how could that have happened?" A different voice seemed to lament."I can't believe it actually," there was a hesitation. "Do you think I've met him as well? And perhaps I've spoken badly to him.""Yes, perhaps you are going to lose your job soon. You did know that you have a loose mouth.""Oh my!" There was a soft exclamation. "But come to think of it, we should be able to discover who the person really is. I mean the news did say it was Grey Fox. We just needed to find the Grey Fox that works in this company. It shouldn't be that hard," the
"We are leaving immediately! Find a way to distract them so that I can safely escape," Grey ordered.The man nodded and walked out.Grey looked at the unconscious Avery. Maybe he was selfish but he didn't even reason calling her parent over. His phone rang suddenly. It was Maria.Grey got off the bed and took his shirt. He walked out of the room before he picked up the call."Hello boss," Maria's voice boomed from the other line.Just as Grey moved to his right side, Avery's parents and one of Grey's men walked past him, towards Avery's room. It turned out that the man intentionally misled them into going elsewhere."Is everything alright, Maria? How is the public taking the news?" He inquired, as he managed to wear his shirt."Well, I have a bad news."Grey hesitated before he entered the elevator. There was no one in the elevator with him. "Did something happen? The public didn't accept the explanation?""No, boss. That's not the case. Someone published something about you, an hou
