Chapter 179: Perfect plan Grey hurried inside. Alfred and Gregory stood as he walked inside. “Are you
ok, Hercules?” “Gregory has spies within,” he announced. “Damn! They shattered my plan!” He grieved.
Alfred raised a brow.” Is there something you aren’t telling us?”
Grey nodded severally, as he watched the men. “I was supposed to meet Pablo today and he was just
about to show me who he really was,” he explained. Gregory got anxious.” So, what happened?” Grey let
out a sigh and sat. “Failed. It was my fault! I should have told you. If I had, you would have pulled a stop
to your plan. I would have been able to see him. My plan has completely been thwarted!” He complained
with a feeling of sadness.
The two men watched him for a while before
ll sat.
“I don’t think it’s the right time to blame yourself. We need to find solutions,” Alfred initiated. “Yes,”
Gregory chimed in.” Hercules doesn’t blame himself. In fact, he’s not supposed to reminisce on a matter
for so long. We need to think of something. What do you think we should do?”
Grey stared downward, as he let his thoughts stray away. His shoulders feel heavy all of a sudden. It felt
like he was carrying the weight of the world. What could he do? He has a lot of people depending on
him. He was the Boss after all.
Grey was actually sharp-witted since he was young. Rio saw this quality in him and didn’t allow him to
school in New York or even Italy. He was so concerned and he didn’t want Grey to take up the position
until he was way older.
In fact, if he was still alive, Grey might not be opportune to be among the elders. He once told Alfred that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe wanted Grey to be 30 before he would be considered fit as the next Hercules.
Alfred had wanted to argue with Rio at that time. Well, Grey was especially favored. He was a prodigy.
He could even proffer solutions to things that he couldn’t.
Now that Alfred was looking at Grey, he couldn’t help but think Grey was really young. Though, somehow
he knew that he was capable. Grey clenched his teeth and looked up. “I’m getting my men out.”
Gregory’s eyes went wide and dark with shock. “You are? Three men, Hercules,” he reminded, somehow
confused.
Grey nodded slowly.” I’m not going to let them sacrifice for me.”
“We will do anything to keep you alive, Hercules. As long as you are not dead, this group will keep
moving. You are Hercules and until you get another successor, we are not going to let a pin touch you,”
Gregory muttered. Grey locked his gaze at him for a moment.” No one is dying for me, Gregory, because
I’m going to protect everyone. I’m not going to let those men die for a mistake they know nothing
about.”
Gregory sighed, though frustrated but pleased. It showed how much Grey cared for his men. It was a
good sign of leadership.
Alfred smirked. “Let’s hear Hercules out, Gregory. I’m sure he has a great plan already.”
Grey nodded briefly. “We are going to use the method that I used for Smith, for Pablo.” Gregory raised
skeptical brows.” Tell us about it.” Grey sat up, with a smile tugging at his lips. “I will. Though, I’m still not
sure of what day it would be. I’m going to see Alex tomorrow and let him know when I can meet with
Pablo again.
Then, I will get back to you.”
“Who is Alex?”
It was at that moment that he remembered the tattoo.
“Do you perhaps know if Giovanni has a tattoo? Like I do?” Grey proposed. Alfred looked over at
Gregory.” Most of the Mafia bosses do have them, though, I’m not sure now. Your father was so stubborn
was why he did yours. Though, considering the era, Giovanni should have.” He explained.
“Well,” Gregory looked at Alfred. ” If Grey didn’t have a tattoo, it might have been easy to lie with the ring.
Anyone could hold the ring and claim to be Hercules. Rio probably knew the danger and thought ahead
of the future.” Alfred nodded in understanding. ” You are right. Since he didn’t plan on revealing Grey
earlier, he must have thought of the tattoo.”
Gregory nodded briefly and looked at Grey. “Giovanni has a lion on his wrist. He should have one on his
back. It’s just like an identifier,” Gregory revealed.
Grey gathered his forehead.” Alion?”
Gregory nodded briefly. “I’ve followed Rio to the Auction and I’ve shaken hands with Giovanni.”
Grey remembered the tattoo that he saw on Pablo’s back. “Can you describe it a bit?”
Gregory sat back and thought for a few minutes. “I can’t really remember much but I know that the lion
had its right paw out as if it was going to attack. And its mouth was wide open.” Grey snapped his finger
hurriedly.” That’s it! I saw that tattoo on the back of Pablo!” He revealed.
The man’s eyes went wide with shock.
“What! You did? But what, how did you get so much in a day?” Grey smiled,” I went to Atomic Liquors
and found Alex. Alex is the owner of one of the rising gyms in the city. He linked me up with Pablo,
Though, I’m still wondering if Alex is Pablo.” “What! Why would you think to that extent?” Alfred inquired,
Grey smashed his lips,” I saw a paw at the back of Alex’s back. What if he has the same tattoo as Pablo
and as Giovanni?”
Gregory smiled.” Now, this is getting interesting,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlfred chuckled. “Very interesting. Giovanni could have made his son go through the tattoo process since
he would be hiding his identity, just like you.”
Gregory glanced at Alfred.” And his son might be Alex like you thought. He would be living a simple life
like you,” he looked at Grey.” And I’m sure he’s even gentle in the facade.”
Grey nodded briefly.” And with this plan, I’m going to kill two birds with one stone. I’m going to get to
know who Pablo is and I’m going to save my men.” Gregory stretched forward anxiously.” So, whát is this
plan? I’m going to stake everything on
it.”
Grey smiled.” We are going to stage an attack at Giovanni’s house in the hope to find what his son looks
like.”
Gregory raised a brow at the stupidity. “That is what you are going to tell your men so that the spies
would inform Pablo and Giovanni. They would station their men at Giovanni’s house, and only a few men
would stay with Pablo.”
“And?” Gregory urged.
“We are attacking Atomic Liquors instead. It will be at the same time, the same day, the same hour, and
the same minutes as the initial information. We must not miss the details. The only difference is that I
must be with Pablo at that moment. It’s the only way for me to see Pablo,” Grey revealed.
Gregory laughed suddenly, it came once then filled the whole room.
