Chapter 252: Confession
Grey drove right to Alfred’s house after work. Charles informed the elders about the meeting and they decided to meet at Alfred’s house instead of going to the hotel like they used to.
“How is he doing?” Grey asked when he settled down.
They all knew who he was referring to. And they knew it was only good that Grey was taking care of him and not killing him for all he did.
“He’s getting better but he still hasn’t regained his memory,” Alfred revealed.
Grey nodded briefly. “Let’s go straight into the discussion then. I need the plan to evaluate the spies once and for all. I need to officially pronounce myself Hercules.”
Alfred regarded him for a moment. “Do you think it’s the time to do that?”
Gregory groaned. “I guess the time will never come, or will it?”
“Well, I don’t think we need to delay it any longer. Leo was the one that killed the previous Hercules. I don’t think it should delay Hercules from pronouncing himself.” Jayden explained.
Luciano sighed. “I think Jayden is right. We’ve been trying to hide Hercules’s identity for more than ten years. He’s the mafia boss and he would need to address his men sooner than later. It’s getting too late. I’m sure some of his men believe he doesn’t exist.”
Alfred thought about it for a moment. “So, what’s your plan.”
“Pretending Hercules doesn’t exist,” Grey announced.
Charles sighed. “That’s actually a bit dangerous.”
Gregory nodded briefly. “Very dangerous. But the main thing is how do we let Giovanni know about this? We need a plan.”
Alfred looked over at Gregory. “What? I don’t think this is something we should do.”
“Why not? This won’t even hurt anyone.” Gregory protested.
“What about the men? There will be a great fall if they realized the mafia boss was actually dead. I don’t think we should go that way. It’s really a dangerous plan,” Jayden chimed in.
Grey let out a sigh. They were right. It’s just that he doesn’t know how else to handle the situation.
“Well,” he sat up. “You guys should think about it. We will discuss it later,” he stood and looked at Charles. “I need to speak with you for a moment.”
“I heard about the earlier event. Charles told me everything about Caramel. Are you sure we can trust her?” Alfred asked suddenly.
Grey looked at him and nodded briefly. “Yes, because she gave Alex the wrong strand of hair. So, at this moment, Alex doesn’t know who I really am. It would be easier for them to believe Hercules doesn’t exist, to begin with.”
“But, what about the person that was invited to the billionaire club and the Hercules that went to the company?” Charles questioned, disturbed.
Grey shrugged slightly. “A representative. That’s why the mask was there.”
Alfred sighed and went deep in thought.
Grey looked at Charles. “I need you to do something for me. Can you get five of your men?”
Charles nodded once. “I can do that. What do you want them to help you for?”
“Don is bringing in some hard drugs, I’m going to plant it in Hattie’s company. I’m going to need someone to make a report and get the police to see these hard drugs,” he revealed.
“Giovanni is familiar with the police. They would end up releasing her,” Charles muttered.
“Well, I know but that would keep her off till after CCS.”
Jayden stood as well. “I will report then. You can leave it for us. We will do it,” he assured.
