CHAPTER 513: HOSPITALIZED

"He's dead, do these special members know what they are doing?" Someone voiced out.

"Yes, Hercules is dead or is there something we don't know?" Even the members have started to blame themselves.

They had no idea where Grey was and they knew the repercussions.They didn't want to fail in two places.

Giovanni was obviously going to make sure they pay because they didn't choose him.If Grey was alive, it would balance everything.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"He's alive!"

The lady gestured ahead at the entrance.

Everyone followed the path and they soon froze when they saw Hercules walking towards the podium.

Grey was clad in Dormeiul Vanquish li Suit and there was a black mask on his face.

The special members smiled softly at this.

They were glad that Grey showed up.

Giovanni couldn't believe his eyes.

In fact, he grew red with anger.How could Hercules still be alive? It was just so impossible.

"Hercules is this year's King of the world!" James announced again.

A round of applause ensued immediately as Grey stood beside James on the podium.

"Now, the new special member is going to be the one to present Hercules with the award.Raymond from Africa should step forward.He's the new special member."

Another round of applause ensued.

Raymond walked to the stage, with a smile on his face.

Martin, the fifth special member, stepped forward with the golden award and stretched it out to Raymond.

Raymond took it and looked over at Hercules.

James stepped back as Raymond stretched the award to Hercules.

Several photographers took the shot as Hercules took the award.

Raymond shook hands with Hercules and stepped back.

James made a gesture at Hercules for him to take the stage.Hercules stepped closer to the microphone.He regarded the people for a moment.

"I think I owe the public some explanation," he started and several reporters started making videos of him.

"I was presumed dead a few weeks ago.In fact, I got involved in an accident.I was bombed," his gaze found Giovanni where he was.

He smiled softly.

"Eventually, I was able to survive, and I'm back." Another round of applause ensued.

Grey stepped back after a short curt.

James took over the microphone.

"Hercules is also known as Grey.In fact, that's the name he has always borne amidst people because he has always been under cover.So," he smiled.

"We will not be exposing Hercules's identity because we have his interest at hand but that's why we are telling you his other name.The king of the world will be having his first dance, then others will continue.James looked at Hercules, with an encouraging smile.

"Are you ready?" Grey gaze searched around for Aphrodite quickly.He had initially called her.

It kept on ringing but she didn't pick it and Grey wondered what had really happened.

Dante was the one that brought the suit instead of Aphrodite like the plan was.

Grey managed a nod.

"I am!" James chuckled.

"So, let's continue the party."

Charles rushed inside the ambulance, his heartbeat quickened.

"Fuck! Novia!" He yelled.

"You have to wake up!" He yelled.

Maximo received a call from Dante a few minutes after and informed him that Aphrodite had been seen.

In fact, she was in the hallway, half dead.

And the suit bag was beside her.

The last time Charles felt so annoyed was when Aurora was kidnapped.He couldn't believe that Giovanni's men did something so huge to Novia.

"Fuck! More! She's not breathing!"

One of the health workers yelled as they continued the compressor.

Charles cupped his face in dread.He hadn't even informed Grey because he knew that Grey wouldn't be able to calm down.He would definitely leave the party and Charles couldn't allow that.

But he would never forgive himself if anything happens to Aphrodite.Even Grey wouldn't.

Fuck! He was devastated.

"The machine beeped suddenly.

"She's back!"

One of the health workers said with relief.

Charles released a sigh as well.He hurried closer to her.

"Aphrodite?" He called softly but there was no reply.He looked at one of the health workers.

"Why isn't she saying anything? Why isn't she opening her eyes?"

"We need to get her to the hospital.Though she's currently breathing properly, we need to get her to the hospital for immediate care." novelebook.comHis phone rang again.It was Maximo.Charles picked it up immediately.

"Hello, Maximo."

"Hi, how is she?" Charles released another sigh.

"She's breathing but she hasn't opened her eyes." Maximo sighed as well.

"That's good to hear.Grey has received the award.Should I inform him of what had just happened?"

"No," Charles said quickly.

"I will inform him myself.As I said, this party has to go accordingly.Hercules will not be in the same mood if he hears this.Thank you for your concern but I know how to go about this.Enjoy the party."

Avery walked inside the hall, clad in a different attire.She was wearing a short purple gown. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Avery didn't know what to do.She didn't want to get involved with any of the mafia lords and she didn't want Grey to find out just yet.She didn't want Grey to start away from her.She just couldn't think of what the consequences would be when he does find out.So, all she had to do was drag Aphrodite to the hallway and place the bag beside her.

Fortunately, someone came to her rescue quickly enough but Avery didn't know if she was still alive.And the fear of that scared her so much.

Nevertheless, she still had to change her attire because it was stained with Aphrodite's blood.She had to return to the party and see what there was to it.

Only for her to find out that Grey was the new King of the world.He was wearing the same suit she saw in the changing room with that mask she was familiar with.

Grey walked down from the stage suddenly and started to move around as if looking for the lady to dance with.

Avery stepped forward quickly, beating the other women to it.She was pretty and beautifully dressed anyways that some of the ladies felt threatened.

Grey hesitated in front of her.
