Chapter 108: Confusion Grey turned away from him immediately and suppressed the emotion building up in him.
“Like you’ve said the other day, I did enjoy your wealth, I won’t deny it. Maybe it’s time I die. I mean what’s the essence? How could I live with the truth anyways? But one thing I won’t take is the fact that my father is truly dead. I saw his corpse. Even though he was burnt beyond recognition, I knew it was him,” he explained.
Grey sighed again and rubbed his face in frustration. Maybe it was true. Grey could have seen the wrong person. There was no valid reason as to why Leo would be alive.
He turned to look at Charles still on his knees. For a reason unknown to him, he wanted to believe him, just as he had believed Lan even though there were lots of possibilities why he shouldn’t. Should he follow his instincts? Well, he had always done so.
“Get up,” he muttered.
Charles got up slowly. “What are you going to do to me?” He looked up at him, his face hard with expression.
Grey released a sigh. “I’m not going to take your position as the elder but I don’t fully trust you yet. Maybe, just maybe you can work towards it. Goodbye,” he finished and without waiting for Charles’ reply hurried back to his car.
He wiped off the perspiration that had formed on his forehead. Was his eyes really playing tricks on him?
He laid back for a moment in quick thought. The spy was nowhere to be found and Grey still didn’t know who had killed his father. “Being the Hercules is as draining as something else,” he muttered and started the ignition.
A message popped up on his phone suddenly. It was from Lan. Grey read through and smiled. He placed a call to Don immediately.
“Hi Boss,” Don boomed from the other end. “I was going to call you after this last trip,” he announced. “I have some information on what you want.”
“Good, let’s meet by 3 tomorrow. We have to see Lan together. Then, you can fill
me on with everything,” he suggested. “That’s fine,” Don responded. And Grey hung up before he sped up. He was suddenly tired and very hungry. But he didn’t stop to get anything even though he knew there might not be any food awaiting him at home.
Grey hadn’t stepped in when he started hearing voices from the house.
