Chapter 236: Sour Plan
“That’s absurd! Why would you even come up with such an idea?” Charles complained.
Grey moved closer to him and took the knife from him. “ Why do you think so?”
“Because,” he started and stopped almost immediately. He looked at Tiana. “Let’s talk elsewhere.”
Grey chuckled and cut the rope loose.” You should get a bath. I will send you some clothes so that you can change. Then, we can discuss more on our way back to Jacksonville.”
Tiana bowed. “Thank you so much, Hercules. Thank you so very much.”
Grey nodded once and looked at Charles. Send one of your men to provide her with clothes but warned. him that if he tries something stupid, his balls will be the breakfast for the dogs,” he warned.
Charles sighed. “I seriously need to speak with you,” he stressed.
Grey moved his head slightly. “Can you please tell your men to attend to Tiana, so we can move to the next person?”
Charles let out a sigh and looked at Tiana. “Let’s go,” he invited and walked out with her.
One of the men was standing at the entrance. Charles didn’t want to go far with getting another man. So, he turned to him. “Order a dress of Tiana’s size from Aphrodite. My credit card is on the table in the living room. And just stay in front of her door, don’t try to harass or do anything stupid. Ok?”
The man bowed slightly. ” Yes sir,” he looked at Tiana. “Let’s leave then.”
Charles regarded Tiana for a moment before he entered the room. “We need to talk, Grey.”
“Yes, sure,” he turned around to look at Charles. First, we need to discuss why your men are spies. Why is Fred one of the spies?”
Charles sighed. “I didn’t know, sincerely. I would have told you if I had suspected anything.”
Grey nodded once.” You need a loyalty test, Charles,” he walked past him, out of the room.
Charles hesitated, as his word sank in. Yet, it sounded even more confusing. So, he hurried after him.
“Grey, what do you mean? I don’t understand what you just said?”
Grey pulled to a stop to look at him again. “We need to do something about the spies, we need to be able to recognize our men. When everyone realized that there’s no Hercules, they would pull back and we can be assured that the rest of the men are loyal,” he explained.
Still, it doesn’t make sense. Grey, half of your men might turn their back on you because they think you don’t exist. So, what if they pay loyalty to Giovanni?” He demanded.
Then, it means they are not my men, to begin with. And guess what, I acquire followers every day. I just got another one,” he looked away, towards the path that Tiana had taken.” Do you think I would be depressed when millions of followers are awaiting me?” He huffed. “I don’t think so. Can you show me where the idiot is?”
