Chapter 512: Mockery
Maximo and the rest of the elders got to the entrance but they weren't allowed to enter.
Charles had already arrived with some of his men as well.So, Grey's men and Maximo's men came together to fight Giovanni's men.
Jimmy hadn't shown up and Grey was still waiting in the restroom.
And the special was about to announce the King of the world.
"Where is Grey?" Dante required.
Maximo didn't reply as he dialled Grey's number.Grey picked it up immediately.
"Hi, Grey.Where are you?"
"I'm in the restroom.I'm waiting for Jimmy or Aphrodite to come with my clothes."
"Damn! You have to be fast.I just received a piece of information that the announcement for the king of the world is happening now.You have to enter the hall."
"Find me Aphrodite.I can't leave this place.Find her and get my clothes.That's the only way out," he informed and the line went off.
"Is everything alright?" Enzo asked.
Maximo turned to them.
"Grey is already inside but he needs to change so he can enter the hall."
"We need to find Aphrodite then," Dante muttered and moved to the two men he brought with him.
"What do we do? Should we enter the hall?" Maximo nodded once.
"Yes, enter the hall.I will stay around and make sure Grey enters as well," he assured.
The mafia lords nodded once and walked inside, leaving Maximo behind.
Dante moved closer to Maximo after sending his two men out.
"I will go to the restroom and make sure that Grey is alright before anything else."Maximo nodded once.
"Alright," he muttered and watched him walk away before he moved closer to Charles.
Aphrodite was nowhere and Charles was bothered.He had called her several times but she didn't pick up.
Maximo moved closer to him.
"We are looking for Aphrodite.I've sent my men out and Dante has gone inside to meet with Grey.The announcement is coming up soon." Charles nodded once.
"I've called her several times but she's not picking up.I think something has happened.But I will find her," He promised.
Avery moved along the hallway while looking out for Grey.She wondered what had gone wrong and where he was.And she was looking for him.She didn't even know if she was doing it right but she continued to move according to her intuition.She stopped suddenly when she heard a soft noise coming from the changing room close to her.She stopped and decided to listen to it again to confirm if it wasn't her ears that were playing tricks on her.
"Hello?" She called out but no reply came.So, she moved closer to the door and placed her ear on it.
The sound came again as if someone was knocking on something.
Avery hesitated, as she thought of what to do.
Fear entered her feature at what could be in the room.She released a sigh and summoned the courage to open the door.
Strangely, there was no one in the room.
The knocking has stopped as well.
Only for it to start again.
