Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 122: Priority Grey couldn't stop fidgeting. Gregory hadn't gotten back to him and he had

started panicking His phone rang suddenly and he reached forit.

It was Don.

“Hello, any news?” He probed.

“No, Boss but we are ready to leave.

Where should we meet? Should we come over to your place or will you come here?” Don bombarded.

"I will meet you wherever you are, just send me the address,” he hurried out of the office.

Tina rushed to him.

“Boss, you have an appointment soon,” she reminded him.

Grey waved it off.

"Cancel it!" He placed a call to Gregory immediately as he entered the elevator.

Gregory didn’t pick up again.

He decided to forget about him for that moment and instead rushed out of the company.

His phone beeped and the address popped up on the phone.

He drove the car out of the company at full speed.

He drove towards the address that Don had sent and he soon arrived at his destination.

He hurried out and saw Don and Richard in front of the car, already waiting for him.

They were in a secluded area and out of the prying eyes.

“Hi boss, we got dozens of men.

You will be fine,” Don assured.

Grey nodded once.

“I don’t need that.

I only need to get Naomi and Lan alive," he moved to Don’s car, leaving his car behind.

Richard drove, followed closely by three cars that were filled with men to protect the Hercules.

When they got to the area, it was eerily empty with no trace of humans.

“Check around.

I’m sure Lan and Naomi are here somewhere.

You must find them!” Grey ordered.

The car split and each took a different direction.

Only Richard didn’t drive.

Grey looked at him for a moment.

“Why aren’t you driving?” “We can’t do that, Boss.

Your safety is our main priority.

Mr.

Alfred warned me not to let you get into trouble," he revealed.

Grey raised skeptical brows." Alfred? How did he know? Did you tell him?” Don shook his head.

“I told him nothing.

He said he knew you would try something so silly," he responded and turned to look at Richard.” You

must never leave his side.” "Alright," Richard nodded.

Grey looked away.

He knew what he was going to do anyway.

Somehow, Grey couldn't stop thinking of the fact that Audrey must have watched Lan the other day that

he pickedhim up.

Who knows, Lan and Naomi might be close to the area.

Where they currently were was an extension.

Don got out of the car as one of the cars returned.

He ended up speaking with the driver.

Another car pulled up and Don signaled for Richard to move closer.

Just as Richard got down, Grey took the gun out of the car save and got down, unnoticed by the

others.

He walked faster towards the bush side so that the others wouldn’t notice him in time.

And when they did, he was gone.

Grey cocked the gun and moved faster towards the clearing.

Fortunately, there was a building in front of him.

Don showed up behind him, with the others.

They were already frustrated.

They split themselves around while some, including Richard, moved behind Grey.

Grey entered a spacious room.

His eyes darted around and went wide when he saw Lan unconscious on the floor at one side.

His heart skipped a beat at the fact that he might be dead already.

Just as Grey took a step forward, several men came from hiding.

Apparently, they were waiting for him.

The men had guns on and were pointing them at Grey.

Richard walked in just in time, with the other men.

"Put your gun down and I might spare you," Grey stated.

One of the men scoffed." You are no match against us.

It’s six against dozens.

There’s no way you will miss so many shoots.

Are you the Hercules?" Grey went silent for a moment as he observed the men and started to think of a

wayto deal with them.

One of the men pointed the gun at Lan.

"Someone will answer me now or I will pull the trigger,” he threatened thickly.

Grey swallowed harder as he weighed both decisions.

At first, he didn’t know how to feel.

Was he supposed to be happy that Lan was alive or sad that he would soon be dead? Hedidn't want

Belle to lose her father and he didn't want to die just yet.

Though, he knew that Audrey only wanted to hand him over to Giovanni.

He wouldn’t kill him immediately.

Maybe his elders would be able to save him before that happens.

"You want to know whó Hercules is?" Richard said suddenly, as Grey opened his mouth to say

something.

Grey looked at him and wondered what he was up to.

But then, Richard was always the one revealing his identity.

He was going to do exactly as he had done at Audrey’s house.

Well, it was the best option, for Grey and Lan.

So, he didn’t try to stop him this time.

“Yes, I’m listening.

His life depends on your response," one of the men repeated.

Richard took a step closer." Let the others leave then, including Lan because I’m the one you

arelooking for," he declared.

Grey's eyes shot out and he looked back at Richard.

"What is _," he started but Richard cut him off.

"You should leave now!" He yelled in a thick voice as if he didn’t care about lying or the consequences

that might follow.

Though deep down he was frightened but his priority was keeping Hercules saved as Don

hadinstructed.

One of the men smiled and slowly, the gun moved from Lan and towards Richard.

"A weak lion is better than a strong one," he remarked and aimed at Richard’s leg.

Grey saw images flash across his face.

He saw Leo again, pointing a gun at his father, while he watched from where he stood.

Perspiration broke down from his forehead at the fact that he couldn’t save his father but he could save

Richard.

Because he knew that the men wouldn't spare anyone in the room.

It would be pointless.

“And well, I lied,” the man said suddenly.

“No one leaves this room alive, except Hercules.

Well, he would leave this room on one leg," he revealed.
