Chapter 123: Anniversary Just as Grey opened his mouth to say something, something dropped from above,a smoking device, and soon, everywhere was getting filled with smoke.
Grey took the opportunity to rush at the man still pointing the gun at Richard and about toshoot.
He hit him by the hand, then squeezed it hard so that the gun would drop from hishand.
Soon, the smoke was increasing and it was getting difficult to see anything from afar.
Grey knew the side that Lan was on.
So, he followed his instinct and found him.
Richard was beside him already, straining to see in the smoke.
Fire came down suddenly, and Grey heard Don's voice, calling out to him.
Instead, he looked at Richard.
“Take him.
I'm going to look for Naomi," he muttered and went towards the door by the right.
He saw Naomi on the bed, looking unconscious as well.
She was only in her underwear and he wondered what they had done to her as well.
A man came out of the bathroom, clad in only trousers but he was without a gun.
Grey pointed the gun at him and this frightened the other man.
Grey observed him for a moment, wondering where he was supposed to target.
Well, Grey was too young and maybe his father died too soon but he never taught him how to handle a gun.
The only thing his father focused on was martial arts.
Grey pulled the trigger for the first time.
The bullet disappointedly went through the wall behind the man.
The man let out a smile.
"You can't shoot," he was so happy as if he'd won a lottery.
Grey scoffed.
"I don't need a fucking gun to finish you off," and he threw the gun away.
The man, seeing this as an opportunity launched an attack at Grey but he caught him so quickly and punched him by his jaw.
The man sauntered back for a moment and soon launched another punch at Grey’s face.
Grey dodged it and gave him its own, sending him reeling backward and spitting blood.
Grey moved closer to him quickly before he would stand and held him by the neck while punching him so hard with punches fueled with anger.
When he dropped him, he was stained with his blood and barely moving.
Grey spat on him angrily before he moved to Naomi.
By now, the shooting had stopped.
He checked her breathing and was pleased to find out that she was still alive.
Finally, he fulfilled his promise.
Grey scooped Naomi up and rushed towards the door.
Don showed up suddenly, with eyes wide with shock.
"Take her!" He yelled the order and one of the men moved closer to take Naomi from Grey.
When Grey and the rest walked out, Gregory was waiting for them.

“Damn, Grey.
You shouldn’t have entered,” Alfred scolded.
Grey smiled." I had to and I don't regret it.
But anyways, I didn't lose any of my men today, thanks to you and the elders.”Gregory smiled and looked at Grey." Hercules has finally shown what it takes to be our leader.
I've always been scared that a coward would be our leader.
A cowardly leader means the fall of the group," he explained, with a bright smile on his face.
Charles hurried towards them." Grey, are you alright?" Grey regarded him for a moment.
He didn’t know that Charles would show up.
