Grey smiled and tried to insert cartridges into the pistol.
Richard watched him do it, only to clasp his hand together for him. “You are a fast learner, I’m impressed, boss.”
Grey looked at him for a moment, a smile still tugging at his mouth before he aimed at the Target. He shot it severally and the bullet almost penetrated the bull’s eyes.
“This is fast. In no time, you will be able to hit the target correctly,” Richard complimented.” We should take a short break. What should I get you?”
“Wine is ok,” Grey responded and placed the pistol on the table.
Charles appeared from behind him. “You are swift. Did your father teach you all these?”
Grey moved to sit. “I’m a full option, which is why I am being very careful. Imagine if I had shown those people I was Hercules, what would have happened?”
Charles nodded briefly, finally surrendering. He moved to sit in front of Grey. “I understand but sooner than later, you will still have to show your men that you are Hercules.”
Yes but not now. I will be sure of where I’m stepping into by that time.”
Charles relaxed in his chair. “Alright, we will be waiting.”
Richard walked back with a glass of champagne and three glasses of wine. He served Grey and Charles.
“The Billionaire club party is tomorrow. Are you coming with me?” Grey inquired.
Charles thought for a moment and slowly nodded his head. “I will. I should enter the hall with you. Aphrodite already told me this and I’ve prepared.”
Grey smiled and slipped his wine. “Actually, you will be entering with Richard and not me.”
Charles was shocked.” What do you mean?” He glanced at Richard and looked back at Grey. Are you kidding me?”
Grey shook his head slightly. “No, I’m planning to give Giovanni a show. So, we will be having two Hercules. One will be without a mask and the other will be with a mask. Richard will be acting as me and he would be the first to show up at the hall. While the reporters are clustering around him, I would enter through the back door, then Richard and you can tell the the truth,” he explained.

Charles smiled.” So, you really met with the godfather and he’s going to give you his support?
Grey nodded again. ” Yes but I’m going to do him a favor in return. I will be going to Italy after the party,” he revealed.
“Alright. So, giving Richard a role is just to upset Giovanni?” He asked amazingly.
Grey laughed.” You got that right actually. He must be so frustrated now and I wonder what he would do when his plan fails. He would regret leaving the president of the club to me,” he expressed.
Charles regarded Grey for a moment and suddenly stood up. “Then we have a lot of work to do. We need to spend a little of your money, Hercules.”
Grey looked up at him. “What are you planning?”
