the man was. It was James, the first man he actually revealed his identity to. Chapter 113: The BestIt
took Grey a while before the information would finally settle in.
As usual, it looked like James got into trouble.
Grey shook his head briefly, James was always getting into trouble.
And he was going to protect him, as usual.
Grey hurried back to the car and picked a nose mask.
He needed to hide his face because he would still be visiting Atomic Liquors.
He kept the face mask and ran after the men and realized that had chased Jamesout of the vicinity.
He saw where they were going and knew how to corner them.
He knew the street like the palm of his hand anyways.
He had always delivered to that part of the world.
"Get right here, you bastard!" One of the men yelled in frustration.
Grey heard this and knew he was near.
He hastened up and eventually collided with James again.
Grey caught him before he fell and pulled him back up.
“Are you already?” James nodded briefly.
He was almost out of breath.
"I am but," he looked up and his eyes went wide with shock.
“What are you doing here, Hercules?” Grey smiled.
“It seems like we always meet under circumstances.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat did you do this time?”
James smiled nervously.
“L_,” he started.
"You!" A voice boomed, interrupting James of the words he was about to say.
“Please, save me,” James pleaded softly.
He knew that he was going to die if the men eventually laid their hands on him.
What more? He had already exposed his identity and they may even look for him later on.
But what mattered at that moment was staying alive.
"Don't worry," Grey delved into his pocket for his nose mask and fitted it on his nose and mouth.
Right at that moment, no one would be able to recognize him after that night.
The men eventually gathered around, only a few feet away from Grey and James.
"You! Did you think you could run forever? Do you think you are a match for us?” One of the menasked,
angrily while the rest tried to stabilize their heavy breathing Grey pulled James to his back slowly.
"Stay back and trust me." "I do," James said quickly.
“I trust you, always,” he added quickly.
Grey craned his neck to look at him, noting the hope written in his eyes.
He wondered if it was what Lan would say whenever he thought about his family.
He had a lot of people depending on him and he must never let them down.
"What's happening here!" A voice snapped, breaking through Grey's thoughts and shattering them.
“What’s all this? Family reunion?”
The men laughed.
Grey looked at the men and noted the leading man that seemed like the leader of the gang.
“Let him go,” he muttered.
“Or what?” The leader teased.
"Would you kill me?" His eyes went wide in shock for a moment.” Would i beg you for my life?” He
laughed out loud and theother joined him.
"Why is he wearing a nose mask by the way? Who is he trying to kid?” One of the men jokes.
Grey regarded them for a moment before he took two steps closer.
"Are you all after this guy? Don't you think it's unfair? Hundred against one only shows how weak you
guys are.” The leader scoffed.
There was a frown on his face.
A deep mark stretched across his face and made him look very ugly and well, scary butGrey was very
far from "You seem to have a big mouth and I wondered why you are keeping us from seeing how big it
really is." Grey sighed.
"Go home or go back to wherever you came from and I will forgive you.” The leader regarded him for a
momentand turned to look at the men.
"Did you hear that? He wants us to go home.
What do you think we should do? Go home?" "Never!" The men yelled in excitement and annoyance.
The leader turned towards Grey again, he regarded him for a moment before he moved closer.
"You are brave, boy but this is a man's fight and not a boy’s fight,” he revealed with a lease.
"Go home now if you don't want to get stained," he poked him on the chest.” Go home, or
findsomething to do, or pretend you didn't even see us." "If I do that_,"Grey grabbed his hand and
turned him around with it.
He folded his arm, applying pressure so that it seemed like it would fall off.” You will be spared.”He

The leader looked up with irritation and anger.
“Get him!” He yelled.
The men advanced with speed while James stepped back and watched the scene.
Grey nodded once, observing the men.
Just as one launched an attack at him, he dodged it and kicked him by the leg.
He jumped up and kicked one of the attackers by the neck and watched him fall to thefloor with a groan
before he looked up at the others.
With the way he was hitting them, they wouldn't be able to get up for a second fight.
Grey caught one of the men's punches and squeezed harder that the man screamed in pain before he
punched him in the stomach and sent him reelingback.
A punch landed on his back and Grey turned to look at the attacker with anger.
Though, he wouldn't even know since half of his face was covered.
Grey punched him in the face immediately.
"What the fuck!" The leader exclaimed from the back as he watched Grey deal with his men.
When he couldn't take it any longer, he stood up.
“Retreat!” He yelled and ran back.
The men pulled back quickly.
Grey took a step closer to them as if to chase after them but he changed his mind and watched them
move away.
James clasped his hands together in excitement.
“You are always the best, Hercules,” he acknowledged.
