CHAPTER 178
Chapter 178 “Sit,” the man ordered in a thick voice.
Grey moved to a nearby sofa and sat on it, his gaze still on the tattoo. He actually tried to compare his voice with Alex’s and saw a huge difference.

Perhaps Alex was just close to Pablo as Caramel had suggested. “You wanted to see me?” He hesitated and turned around, revealing a big lion mask on his face.
His head was also covered. It was like he didn’t want anyone to trace him at all. Now that Grey was thinking about it, he couldn’t stop comparing it with Alex. If Pablo was really someone he didn’t know, he wouldn’t cover all the things that could actually expose who he really was.
“Yes, I want to be someone near to you,” Grey lied.
Pablo regarded him for a moment.” I’m going to show you what I look like,” he announced. As much as Grey wanted it, he couldn’t stop feeling weird that Pablo actually wanted to do it. “Why? I mean I can work for you without knowing what you look like,” that was another lie anyways. Grey desperately wants to know what Pablo looks like. The two went into another staring contest, which only lasted a few minutes.
“You can ask me questions after I’ve taken off the mask,” he responded huskily. He held the mask and slowly pulled it.
“Boss!” A deep voice yelled suddenly, interrupting Pablo that he let go of the mask and looked up at the man that just walked in.
“What is it?”
The man walked near and whispered into Pablo’s ear.
Grey couldn’t hear anything despite how much he strained his ears, maybe it was because of the low moans going on in the background.
“What!” Pablo yelled suddenly, alarmed but Grey couldn’t see his expression as there was still a mask on his face but the expression of the other man was nothing to write home about. He looked furious.
Pablo looked over at Grey and stood, hovering above Grey. “Are you here to spy on me?” He roared, very much angry now. Grey blinked once, skeptical. “What are you talking about?” Actually, he was confused. Everything was going smoothly a few minutes ago and then, Pablo is suddenly asking him questions,
“Don’t lie to me, Grey! Who sent you!” Pablo yelled and Grey knew that danger was imminent. He unconsciously clenched his fist, ready for whatever was coming his way.
Pablo would have men stabilized somewhere around but it would take time to mobilize them. He only needed to get out of the mini-club, so he could access his second phone and call.
Gregory While he thought about this, he couldn’t help but wonder what information the other guy had passed across to Pablo. He must have told him something that got Pablo so angry. Why would Pablo ask him who had sent him? “I have no idea what you are talking about,” Grey tried again. “I came here because Alex told me to. I don’t know what you are talking about!”
Another man rushed inside. “P.I.N,” the guy informed and Pablo whirled around again, towards the other man this time.
“What is it?”
The man moved closer and whispered into his ears.
“Really?” Pablo’s voice was low now.
“Confirmed. They confessed already after several tortures,” the man revealed, this Grey heard and he couldn’t help but feel alarmed.
Something must have happened but he couldn’t think about anything at that moment.
Pablo hesitated again before he turned to look at Grey. “What is really happening?”
“You are saved, Grey. Go home and await my response.”
Grey raised skeptical brows.” What about me seeing your face?” He reminded him. Pablo shook his head briefly.” That will happen after I’m sure I can really trust you and if I find that you are really doing something against me, you will die.” He turned around to leave but Grey’s voice pulled him to a sudden stop.
Grey got up.” I said I want to work with you. Can I at least know what just happened and why you had to accuse me even when I didn’t do anything wrong?” He persisted. “I have a lot of people that want to unravel the mystery behind the mask on my face. And I just caught some people that were sent by Gregory. I initially thought you guys were together even though it didn’t make any sense but they confessed that they were just two. So, you are saved. Go home!” He muttered and walked out with the two men. owns all content.
It was at that time that realization dawned on Grey. He remembered giving the elders the advice to do exactly but who could have exposed their plans?
It only meant one thing, that there was a spy among whose elders had sent the men. It seemed like Giovanni had spies everywhere. Was it really possible to fish all the spies out? No, unless they would uproot it.
Uprooting the main tree was the only solution to getting rid of the spies. And because of the spy, his plan on seeing Pablo’s face has been thwarted. Damn! It was just so perfect! The man could have informed Pablo later after Grey had seen his face. Why did he come in exactly when Pablo was about to remove the mask?
“Here,” a voice pulled Grey out of his thoughts. He looked up and took his phone from the man without another word. He walked out of
Atomic Liquors as fast as he could. He placed a call to Gregory the moment he was in the car. Gregory picked up immediately. “Hello, boss.” “Did you send men to Atomic Liquors?” He asked, ignoring the pleasantries. “Yes,” Gregory said quickly. ” We decided to employ the tactic you gave us,” he revealed. Grey sighed. “Your men have been captured by Pablo. If you really deployed the men, then you have a spy amidst you.” “What the fuck!” Gregory exclaimed.” But how did you know?” “I’m currently at Atomic Liquors and I have something to ask you. Are you at home?” “No, I’m with Alfred. You can come to Alfred’s house.” “I will be on my way now,” he informed them and hung up. Just as he started the ignition, his mind strayed toward the last statement that Pablo had said. Pablo told him who had sent the men but he was scared of showing him who he was. That was actually suspicious. And Grey couldn’t help but think Pablo was someone he knew. That aside, he was someone that Grey was currently on a good time with. It was someone that barely knew Grey and thought he was clueless that didn’t know who Gregory was. But who?
