Chapter 266: Mission Accomplished

"You look so surprised," Giovanni laughed.

"What am I doing here?" Gre asked in deep tones .

"Am I here because I refused to withdraw from CCS?’

Giovanni laughed.

"You have issues to settle with me, Grey. Then you can bother about other things with Hattie."

Grey huffed.

"So, I was right?"

Giovanni gave a clear expression. "About what?"

Grey regarded him for a moment.

"Hattie is scared of losing. I mean isn't she sure of herself?" He teased.

Giovanni held a dark frown.

"I need you to answer some questions or you might actually start paying for blabbing your mouth earlier, especially what you did at the auction," he warned.

Grey found himself laughing.

"Oh, you were pained?"

Giovanni released a sigh.

"You do speak with Hercules. Have you seen him before? Is the news right?"

Grey sighed. ‘You should be asking Jane this question. She used to be close with Hercules. Isn't she the secretary?"

"Not anymore Grey, after you came," Jane stepped out.

Grey looked up at her.

"So, it's pay time?"

Jane shrugged slightly. "My loyalty lies with Giovanni."

"And you work for Hercules?" Grey was shocked.

"Well," she hesitated. "I've always worked for Giovanni until recently. Then I realised he's the one I should have been with."

Grey smiled softly. He thought of giving Jane a second chance but it wasn't worth it at all. And he knows exactly what to do.

Grey looked at Giovanni. "I won't say anything. Do you want to kill me? You can go ahead with it." owns all content.

Jane smiled. "I told you he knew something but he wouldn't say it. He's quite stubborn," she remarked.

"Well, you wouldn't just die. I will kill everyone you love. And I will make sure you die slowly," Giovanni threatened.

Grey clenched his teeth at him and pretended to be angry but deep down, he was glad the plan would work in such a way.

"You won't get away with it, Jane."

"Oh, are you going to tell Hercules about it?" Jane had this calm look on her face.

Grey didn't answer.

‘You will be killed, Grey but well, that will be easy. So, both options would lead to death," Jane revealed.

"I don't like when someone wastes my time," Giovanni said suddenly and Grey looked up at him.

Grey hesitated for a moment as if he was struggling with the words. "I've never spoken with Hercules because Charles was always the one I do speak with. Though, I heard that he was Grey Fox."

"And you? Why did you bear Grey fox?"

Grey looked away.

"My father loved Hercules. So, he named me after his son. He died a long time ago and I decided to use this name instead of his," he explained.

Giovanni stood well. He looked satisfied by the explanation.

"So, you doubt he was alive?"

"No, he's not," Grey said suddenly. "I was the man behind the mask."

"What!" They all exclaimed.

Alex rushed forward and grabbed Grey by the collar. ‘You what? You were the one in the billionaire party? You were the one that danced with Caramel?"

Grey nodded briefly and Alex hit him across the face angrily.

‘You bastard! How dare you! If she hadn't come, would you have seen her to the extent of dancing with her?" Alex yelled to his face. He felt so upset that he was fighting with a silly guy like Grey. Grey was nobody.

Grey spat out blood.

"You were the one that sent the invite?"

Alex didn't answer, instead, he turned away from him with a grunt. But Grey got the reply immediately.

"This is even getting more interesting. Grey Fox pretended to be Hercules?" Jane was flabbergasted.

‘You were the one giving me those orders?"

Grey nodded briefly. At first, he decided to hide his identity but with the question that Giovanni asked, he decided it would make his story believable if they knew how close he was to the elders of Hercules.

"If my briefcase was with me, you would have confirmed. The elders asked me to pretend to be Hercules in the meantime. That's why I use the face mask," he explained further.

"I don't believe this is really happening. Grey has been pretending all these while and we never knew. It was him that demoted me!" Jane bellowed at him.

"And you will die a hundred times for it!" She was so angry. She remembered the embarrassment she had to go through after she was demoted and Grey was elevated. Not knowing it was Grey that was doing everything.

Grey smiled softly, satisfied. Well, he was the one but what they didn't know was that he was really Hercules and he has the right to do it. The issue was complicated. Grey was playing a chess game and these people were like pawns in his hands.

"So, Hercules is really dead? He doesn't exist? Then, you were the one that revealed my identity?" Alex asked suddenly as he turned to look at Grey.

" No wonder the DNA didn't match."

Grey feigned surprise. ‘What DNA?"

"I had a test done on you and confirmed that you aren't Hercules but now that you have explained this, It's clear you intentionally became my friend to get my identity." Alex fired at him.

Alex was really annoyed as the pieces came together. Grey was really concerned with Pablo until the news spread that he was Giovanni's son. Grey intentionally came to reveal his Identity. Then, he moved closer to Caramel and was still acting like he was Hercules.

"So, that means he's the one committing the atrocities? He lied that he couldn't fight but he was so skilled in martial arts," Giovanni noted.

"I'm sure he's also the one that set Hattie's up," Alex remarked and turned to look at Giovanni. ‘What do we do now?"

Giovanni looked at Grey.

"You will do like I've said and we are withdrawing the men since it has been confirmed that Hercules is long gone. The elders won't have a say," Giovanni decided.

Grey felt a surge of happiness. Mission accomplished!
