CHAPTER 517: CCTV CAMERA  

Grey drove so fast that he almost hit cars from behind.

Whenever he drove past the cars, they would horn out loud or give him the fuck-up sign but Grey didn't care.

The only thing on his mind was Aphrodite.He hurried inside the hospital.He hesitated briefly when he entered the ward.

Aphrodite was on the bed, lifelessly.She wasn't moving an inch and several machines were attached to her body.

Grey nearly stopped breathing.How could he have allowed something of such to happen to her? Charles was in front of her bed, with his head hung strangely.

"What the fuck happened to her?" Grey muttered.

Charles jerked back at this, then looked back at Grey.He stood up and stepped aside.

"Grey?"

Grey unconsciously took the mask off his face, as he moved even closer to Aphrodite.His heart skipped several beats.

"Is it so bad? Why does she need oxygen?"

He muttered, in a shaky voice.

Charles didn't talk, he didn't even know what he was supposed to say.

Grey ignored him and regarded Aphrodite for another moment.

There were bruises on her face and her head was bandaged.

That aside, her left arm was bandaged.

"What's her state? Why is she not opening her eyes?" He looked at Charles, frustrated.

"Will you answer my fucking question, Charles?" He yelled The door opened and a nurse rushed inside.

"What? You can't shout here.I'm sorry but you have to leave now."

Grey sent her an icy glare.

"Leave!"

He ordered under his breath, with a scary face.

The nurse trembled briefly.

Charles turned to him.

"Leave like he had said if you value your life."

The nurse regarded Grey for a moment, then Charles before she rushed out of the room.

Grey took two long strides closer to Charles.

"What the fuck happened to her? And who did this?"

Charles released a sigh.

"Dante called me.She met her in the hallway, with the bag of your suit.I think Giovanni's men attacked her.novelebook.com The only confusing part in all of this is the fact that the bag of the suit was

untampered with.I'm yet to discover what really happened.The men would have taken the suit if they saw it.So, it means someone else placed the bag in the hallway."

Grey thought for a moment, as an idea came to his mind. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"The CCTV camera," he muttered.

"Stay here, I will be back," he said quickly and started out of the room.

Charles hurried after him.

"Grey, calm down!" He moved to his front and stopped him from proceeding.

"Calm down? I will kill Giovanni tonight, by myself if he's really the one that did this to Novia." Charles scoffed.

"And so what? Will you enter his territory? And you think he wouldn't kill you first? Have you forgotten he's seriously guarded? He might kill you first."

Hot anger flashed across Grey's eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made this very difficult.I could have killed him at the party.I could!"

"And you would have lost the King of the world."

Grey clenched his fists beside him.

"And you think I care for a piece of an award? Over Novia's life?" Charles released an exasperated sigh.

"I'm not saying you do.I'm saying you should calm down.We have to sit and plan this out.This isn't something you can decide in a rush.Giovanni isn't something you can handle like this.Don't forget that

he killed your father.He has more knowledge, and we will have to be careful if we want to defeat him.Don't forget we have come so far," he explained softly.

"More reason for him to die now! When he does, the war will be over.Don't try to stop me!"

He yelled, pushed him aside, and stomped away.

Charles regarded him for a moment until he was out of sight.He released a sigh before he placed a call to Gregory.

Gregory picked it up immediately.

"Hello, Charles.How is Aphrodite?"

"I don't think she's the one you should be worrying about at this moment.You should instead worry about Grey.He planned to infiltrate Giovanni's villa, if he finds out that he had really hurt Aphrodite," he paused slightly.

"And I know that he really does.Grey would go to Giovanni's house," he revealed.

"What!" Gregory exclaimed softly. He was surprised.

"Yes, and you have to stop him before he does."

Grey drove carelessly and too fast.His phone rang suddenly but he ignored it.His speed made it difficult for him to divide his attention towards his phone.

In fact, he suspected that it was Charles.He was only trying to stop him and he wouldn't have it.He increased the accelerator, almost hitting one of the cars on the left as he overtook it.

Several cars were forced to a sudden stop because of him but he didn't mind.

Soon, he pulled into the garage and wear his mask before he hurried down.He stopped suddenly, like a reflex action when he saw Avery's car in the garage.

The party had ended, in fact, several minutes ago.

And he expected Avery to have left.He shrugged it off.

Perhaps she was hanging around or with another man.

Though, he knew that Avery was never the type that loved hanging around with men.

In fact, that was why it amazed him when Avery spoke to Alex.

Nonetheless, he was uninterested.He was there because of Novia and not Avery.So, he walked inside and headed towards the receptionist.

"Hello, sir.How may we help you?"

Grey pulled out one of his cards that had his name on it.He stretched it out to the receptionist for means of identification.

"Im Hercules.I need to speak with the manager."

The receptionist shuddered briefly at the sight of him.Yes, she knew that he was the new King of the world.

The event happened at their hall anyways.

"He's not in at this moment but I can place a call to him."

"Then, let me speak with him," he muttered in a deep voice.

The receptionist bowed slightly and picked the phone quickly.She extended the phone to Grey.

"He's it, sir."

Grey took it, thereby making his hand brush the receptionist.

The receptionist almost fainted at this.She was overjoyed that she touched the great Hercules.

"Hello, Hercules.The receptionist said_"

"I need to check your CCTV footage," Grey said quickly, interrupting him sharply.

"Excuse me?" The manager was confused.

"Aphrodite was injured in this place, during the announcement day.If you don't let me see the CCTV footage, I'm going to have to sue this company.And I'm going to make sure this place closes down," he threatened.

The receptionist’s eyes went wide with shock at what Grey had said.Even the manager was shocked for several minutes.
