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?”
Charles sighed. “The next room but Grey, I still think this plan sucks. It’s very dangerous.”
“Let’s talk later, Charles,” he barely took two steps when he stopped again. “Don’t come with me, I can.
handle myself. Just find me Fred before I turn the whole place upside down!” He expressed and walked
to the next room.
Charles watched him for a moment, somehow frustrated. Grey was brilliant, he knew that but his plans
were suddenly turning sour and risky.
A group without a leader would definitely break. Even the most loyal of men would lose their vigor,
Though, someone like him had been staying and lying all these years even when there was no
assurance that Hercules was alive.
Well, there could be men like him.
The plan was perfect, yet it sucks.
Grey opened the door slowly and walked in. Unlike the other room, this was bright. A man was hanging
over two ropes on his right and left sides.
He was awake at that moment.
“Who would have thought it? That you were Hercules all these while?” He laughed sarcastically.
“Yes,” Grey admitted. “I’m sure the man that sent you must have seen me a couple of times but he’s
unable to recognize me. Isn’t that great? It makes me feel very powerful,” he smiled softly and moved
closer.
“What are you going to do with me? Kill me?”
“What do you think?” Grey demanded.
“Do you think I’m going to beg for my life?” He muttered. “I know you would kill me, so there’s no need
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto do so.”
Grey laughed again.” You are very funny. Actually, I’ve got some questions for you and I want you to
answer them.*
“Or what?” He laughed. “You can’t threaten me. I’m going to die already, there’s nothing to threaten me
with,” he boasted.
Grey nodded briefly.” Who sent you?”
The man laughed. “I’m not going to say a word.”
“So, you are going to die for someone that doesn’t even care if you die or not?”
He nodded briefly. “At least, my family would be saved.”
