Chapter 549: Forcefully or Willingly yt "But wait," Charles started suddenly.
"If you know about this watch, do you think Giovanni doesn't as well? He would definitely want to get the watch as well," he muttered.
"That's right but well, Grey is wealthier than Giovanni." "What if he tries to raise the bid? It will be us losing a lot of money," Charles complained.
"Well, it doesn't matter. All that matters is getting my father's watch back. And I will do all that it takes to do that," he promised.
Charles nodded once.
Grey took his phone and stood up. A sigh escaped him as he went through
the news channel on the internet. He couldn't contain the sadness that seeped into him as he beheld his | company slowly burn beyond repair.
""Are you not going to get back at Giovanni for doing this to SU?" Charles asked suddenly.
"We have to be very careful at this point. We don't want our plan to fail.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAny little thing and we will be regretting it," Alfred advised.
"We could retaliate by burning one of his companies as well. An eye for an eye, isn't that it?" Charles suggested.
"Do you think Giovanni is that stupid? He would have made plans ahead. He probably knew it would be painful and had prepared everything. We won't be
| able to do that. Our main priority will be getting the watch and using it against him." SE Grey released a sigh. "Alfred is right, we shouldn't be in a rush but I have done something that Giovanni would never forget," he looked at Charles. "I took Alex's eye, didn't I?" Alfred's eyes went wide with shock.
"You did?" Grey smiled softly. "I did and that will be enough for now. We will do as Alfred has said. Get the men ready for tomorrow's auction while I call Jason." Alfred nodded once. "I will do that.
Goodnight then," he muttered and stepped out of the room.
Charles took a step closer to him.
| "What did you say? Alex's eye is his | punishment for messing with Avery. | She fucking almost lost her sight, her life. You should separate it. It's not at all the same," he explained.
Grey's heart felt heavy. He looked away. He didn't even know how he was supposed to start. SU world has gone farther than he could say actually. SU was like his baby. Where was he supposed to start? How was he supposed to do it? "t's ok. It will end soon," he muttered and walked inside. He hesitated at his door as several thoughts became muddled in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion.
He wasn't actually going to let him go.
He wasn't going to do that. Charles was right. If he wouldn't be able to get at
Giovanni directly, he would do that indirectly.
Send He stepped inside his room and placed acall to Jason.
The phone rang twice before Jason picked it up.
"Hello, Hercules." ""Hi, Jason. Sorry for disturbing your night's rest. I've decided to release Alex tomorrow." "Alright. Would you text me where he is?" "I will do that. But it would be so late in the night. It's best like that, don't you agree?" "That's fine. Text me and I will come running," he assured. "Besides, you aren't disturbing me. I have an
appointment with the captain and I'm | currently heading towards the suite," he revealed. i "The captain?" Grey raised skeptical brows. "By that, do you mean one of Giovanni's men?" "Yes, the police. They probably want to negotiate with me but be rest assured, I've got this," he assured.
Grey released a sigh. "Good one. Talk to you later then," he finished and the phone went off.
Grey sank onto his bed, as different forms of feeling surged through him.
He didn't even know how he was supposed to feel at that moment.
Jason stepped inside the room. The captain was sitting, already waiting for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim. "What do we have here?" The captain stood, with a bright smile on his face. "Hello, Governor. Please, have your seat," he muttered and gestured ahead at the seat opposite him.
Jason regarded the chair for a moment, then mentally counted the side dishes on the table before he moved to sit.
"It's so late in the night. I wonder what this is all about," he feigned innocent.
"Well, you do know what it is all about.
You have taken up Alex's case but we want it back." Jason regarded him for a moment. "Is this your idea or Giovanni?" Captain cleared his throat and took a cup of vodka. "Well, we all know who
Giovanni really is. He's not someone you can look down on like that.
Besides, he would reward you abundantly if you do what he wants." Jason found himself smiling. "This is supposed to be a bribe?" ""We can give you anything you want, just name them." Jason regarded the captain for a moment. "That's actually nice but that isn't going to change my mind. You shouldn't have let Alex escape if you knew you didn't want the FBI to take it up." A flash of anger flickered across the Captain's face. "You do know that we didn't escape him. You do know," he protested.
"No!" Jason said quickly. "I do know that you tried to escape him and when you saw that it didn't go well, you want me to join hands with you?" "What?" "Tell Giovanni that Alex won't be off it easily," he muttered, stood, and walked out of the room.
The captain stared behind him, too shocked to say a word.
He banged his hand against the table.
"I said it! I knew it! I knew this guy was stupid! I knew he wouldn't accept!" The door opened from behind and a man walked inside.
The captain stood up and looked at the man. "What do we do now?"
"We have to find a way to get the governor on our side, either forcefully or willingly. The police have to take the case."
