CHAPTER 481: THE REASONS
"I'm Grey, let me in.I have something important to inform the special members."
The man regarded Grey for another minute as he deliberated on what to do.Be released a sigh.
"Alright, let him in," he ordered.
"But sir," the other man that had recognized Grey stepped forward.
"The bosses wouldn't want anyone to disturb them unless they are from the Italian billionaire club."
"And we might not be getting from them today.Just search him and let him go inside," he ordered.
The man released a sigh and stepped aside, feeling defeated.Two men moved closer to Grey and searched his body.
When they were done, they stepped back.
The door opened and Grey walked inside after putting back the face mask.
The suite was a luxurious one with a big living room and well -furnished furniture that made it look like a home.
Two men sat in the living room and were watching the news on the TV.It was one of them that noticed Grey the moment he stepped inside.He regarded Grey for a moment as if trying to see if he knew him.
"Good day," Grey said suddenly to attract their attention.
The two men regarded Grey for a moment.
"You must be from the Italian billionaire club.I heard they weren't partaking in this contest.I didn't expect to see you so soon."
"The Italian billionaire club?"
A voice muttered as the last member walked into the living room with a cup of vodka.
“But who are you? A new member? The president?"
Grey slowly removed the mask.
"I'm Grey Fox, also known as Hercules," he announced.
The members entered a few minutes of shock, their eyes went wide with shock.
"What! That's not possible," one of the members started.
"Hercules is dead and you cant_," he hesitated.
"And there's no way it would even be you."
"Well, you can't know.No one has seen my face unless I show it."
The members exchanged gazes.
"Show us," one of the members said suddenly.
"Tell us that you are Hercules.Show us the proof that you are."
Grey nodded once and took out his cards with his name and Hercules on them.
"Hercules is my title as you all know it.My father was the first Hercules.This card belongs to him," he explained.
The members were taken back.
"What the fuck!"
One of the members took the card to confirm.
"Is this right?"
"Well, he could have stolen the cards.I don't think we should trust him."
"Yes, Hercules has been buried."
"I have more proof to show you.We could have a video conferencing call with Alfred and Gregory, my most trusted elders.I will tell you that we could connect Maximo and Enzo or Leonardo."
"What? They all know you are Hercules?"
Grey nodded once.
"I'm not here for Jacksonville, I'm here for Italy.And well, they aren't the only ones that know who I am.Giovanni does, even though he thought I'm dead as well.Which is why I'm in Italy,"he explained.
One of the members swallowed harder.
"The video conference call would make us all believe," he announced.
Grey placed a call to Maria.She picked it up immediately as she had been waiting for Grey's call. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Well, it has been a while since he spoke to her.
"Boss!"
Maria seemed to jubilate on the phone.
Sometimes, she was bothered about him.
"Prepare an urgent video conference call between Gregory and Alfred but I want two foreigners to join."
"Alright boss, who are they? I could get across to them in less than thirty minutes."
"Maximo and Leonardo."
The members heard a lot about Hercules, his charisma, and, well, his power.
And well, his secret seemed to be a huge weapon.
If truly he was the Hercules, they would be enthralled.
Within minutes, they were all around the laptop and waiting.
"Hello boss," Alfred said suddenly, then stopped when he saw the special members.
"The special members?"
Grey was standing above them.
Gregory came online as well."Hercules..."
He was forced to stop suddenly as well.
"You are with the special members?"
"Seriously?"
The members were awed.
"They had a problem believing I am Hercules," Grey explained.
Gregory laughed.
"I had the same issue once.Our boss has a lot of surprises in store."
"Yes, certainly!"
Maximo came online.
"I had problems recognizing him as well when he came to Italy.I mean, isn't his greatest weapon, the fact that no one knows what he looks like?"
"Exactly," one of the members admitted.
"Is this a conference call with Hercules alone?"
Leonardo muttered, then he saw the members.
"I thought you guys weren't going to participate in this year's contest,"
One of the members asked.
"Yes, I spread the news," Grey said suddenly.
"We have our reasons for it," he muttered and placed some pictures on the desk in front of the members.
"A little evidence that Giovanni has been tampering with Italian for a while now.They have always been out of the picture even before the announcement of the result.Would you say you don't know about that?"
A flash of awareness flickers across the members’ eyes.
They knew everything after all.
"I wouldn't have believed it if Hercules hadn't been discovered.I mean was that necessary? Isn't it supposed to be a fair competition?" Maximo complained.
"Well, not to worry. Giovanni is currently out of the game."
"What!"
One of the members exclaimed softly.
"Yes, he deceived everyone.And we all know the consequences.The main reason why we aren't exposing this to the public is because we want to give the special members the opportunity to do it.Wouldn't it be a great honor if you do it?"
Grey smiled and waited.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Boss, Miss Avery is here for business," a voice announced.
Grey sighed.
"We are not interested, maybe later," one of them announced.
"No," Grey said quickly.
"She's in this plan with us.I mean indirectly.She doesn't know who I am.But Giovanni is going to stop me from partaking in this award.He's definitely going to prevent me from entering the hall.But if you see Avery, be convinced that I'm definitely around." The members relaxed back.
"I'm convinced! I will respond to Avery," he stood up and walked out of the room.
"Why should we give you this award?"
One of the members asked.Grey smiled softly as if pleased by the question.
"A lot of them."
