Chapter 515: The do back
Avery met him with Maximo in Italy.And then, she was there at the announcement party.That aside, she even danced with him?"
Alex stared with eyes gone wide at the tv.
In fact, the news was being broadcast at that moment.Hercules was the King of the World.His other name was Grey.
And in fact, there were pictures of him and Avery together.He had to put 4 and 5 together very fast.He realised that Avery does
know that Hercules was Grey.
In fact, she and Hercules could have been together that night that he saw her again.Perhaps, she even had to distract him so
that Grey could leave.
Alex's head banged so much at this.
The realisation made him so angry.But he knew what he had to do, even if he was going back to the prison thanks to Grey.
There was a secret hideout in his room.He moved closer to his shelf and opened the door.He got inside, just as the main door
opened and the police rushed inside.
"Mr.Alex?"
One of them called, and Alex heard before the door closed, shutting them completely out of his hearing.
Alex waited.
That aside, he had to be very careful or he wouldn't be able to do what he had in time.
When he got to the garage, there were two police moving around like they were still searching for Alex.So, he had to wait.It didn't
take up to ten minutes when the other police rushed out of the house, novelebook.comgot inside the car, and drove off.
Alex waited for a few minutes before he walked out.He placed a call to Maro.He was going to get Avery, even if it was the last
thing he would do.
Grey stepped aside and placed a call to Charles.He had been worried since.
Initially, he thought they were going to come in during the party.
But the party was almost over and Aphrodite was nowhere to be found.No one was picking up their calls and it was disturbing.
"We won, at last!" Gregory said suddenly as he and the other elders stopped in front of Grey.
Jayden had a nice smile on his face.
"I knew it was going to work.I knew Hercules was going to perfect the job."
"But how were you able to convince the elders not to expose your identity?" Luciano inquired.
Grey smiled and placed his phone in his pocket.
Again, Charles didn't pick up.
"Well, I had to use Grey as bait.Everyone would be anxious as to who I am.It's great that I just gave them a name to wonder
about."
"The people will suspect every Grey in the city," Luciano laughed.
"It's actually a nice idea but I don't think it will last long.Giovanni might decide to reveal your identity at any time.And it would be
bad if he did so before you do," Alfred expressed.
The elders nodded in agreement.
"Alfred is right.Giovanni would be hurt now.I bet he would do anything to hurt you, especially now that Alex would be
apprehended."Grey nodded once.
"I will speak with the special members.I will let them tell the world all my names."
"That's good.But I will still say you should be prepared to reveal your face to the public.We don't know what Giovanni might do
now."
"I will think of something by then but has anyone seen Charles and Aphrodite?" Grey inquired.
The elders shook their heads at the same time.
"The last time we saw Aphrodite was when she went out to get you the suit," novelebook.comJayden responded.
Grey raised a skeptical brow.
"What? She did? But I didnt_"
"Hello, Hercules!" Maximo said suddenly, cutting short of what Grey was saying.
Maximo and the rest of the elders from Italy moved closer to Grey.The elders exchanged pleasantries among themselves.
"It's a victory for us.Italy won at last!" Maximo laughed.
"Yes, it will be easy for our next billionaire boss to be the next king of the world," Dante muttered.
Grey smiled.
"I'm glad I was able to help you.Has any of you seen Charles and Aphrodite? I can't seem to be able to get across to them."
"We saw Charles on our way in," Enzo responded and looked at Maximo.
Maximo released a sigh.Grey looked at him and noticed the look on his face.
"What? Did something happen?"
"I promised Charles not to say anything."
Grey's heart made a sudden thud.
"What! Did something bad happen to Aphrodite? Where is she?" He demanded.
"You have to reply to him! What happened?" Gregory chimed in.
Maximo looked over at Dante as if silently telling him to say the truth.
"We met her half-dead in the hallway," Dante revealed.
Grey felt his world stop for a moment.
"Where the fuck is she now?"
"I have no idea.Charles didn't tell me where they were," Maximo confessed.
"Call him with your phone.I'm sure he's going to pick up.And give me the phone after he picks it up," Grey muttered.
Maximo nodded once and complied.
Grey felt someone looking right at him from behind.He turned and his gaze caught Avery.
Their gaze held for a few minutes before Avery looked away.It almost looked as if she was monitoring him.But that was
impossible.Besides, they were standing very far from her.
There was no way she could hear everything they were saying.
"Here," Maximo said suddenly, pulling Grey out of his thoughts.
Grey looked at him and took the phone.
"Hello, Charles.Which hospital did you take Aphrodite to?"
There were a few minutes of silence.
"I will text you the address.I'm sorry," Charles muttered.
I Grey didn't say a word and hung up instead.He stretched the phone back to Maximo.
"I think I will see you later.If you don't leave now, we will have time to celebrate very well." Maximo nodded once.
"We won't be leaving anytime soon.We will definitely celebrate." Grey nodded once, just as his phone beeped.
It was a message from Charles.
"Hercules!" A voice called from behind but Grey was already walking out of the hall.
