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.
What 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.
