Chapter 278: A murderer on the ship

Gregory already got the ship ready. In fact, the men were already making their way inside the ship after

getting tattooed when Grey arrived.

Alfred moved closer to him. "I need to ask you a question, Hercules."

Grey looked at him and nodded briefly. "What's it all about?"

Alfred sighed. "I wanted to ask about Leo. Should we-," he hesitated. "I mean, I don't know how you will

take this in," he paused as he let out a sigh. "Should we take Leo in?"

Grey clenched his teeth unconsciously. "No. I don't want a murderer on my ship!" He muttered and

walked away.

Alfred sighed and looked at him until he was out of sight. He knew that Grey wouldn’t agree to it

anyways. Though, he still needed to take it easy. But he knew it wouldn't be so easy to forgive a man

that killed one father.

Alfred didn't know if it was good to leave him at home alone. He had no idea what Giovanni would be

upto. What if they check his house, find him there, and kill him?

Well, Grey wouldn't care about this. He's sure he wouldn't be bothered if Leo dies. He walked closer to

Gregory.

"I need to speak with you," he told him and watched him round off his chats with one of his men. The

men were still having the tattoo and entering the ship.

"Is anything the matter?"

Alfred nodded briefly. Tm worried about Leo. Grey doesn't want us to bring him over and I'm worried

about leaving him at home alone. I won't be having any of my men over there because they would

need to be tattooed," he explained.

Gregory thought for a moment. "That's right. But do you think we should really be protecting Leo?"

Alfred huffed. "I don't believe what you are saying. Are you trying to say we should leave him to die?"

"Well, he's partially useless to us now."

"Fuck Gregory, he's one of us."

Gregory shook his head briefly. "He's not. If he is, he wouldn't have killed Hercules."

Alfred sighed. "But we don't even know what happened that day. We aren't sure of everything."

Gregory shook his head again. "You are missing something here, Alfred. Grey saw him and Charles

confirmed it. Why do you want another explanation? You know what, Alfred? I think we should forget

about Leo."

"But I still think we should give him an audience. This is what Grey thought and why he let me keep

Leo in the first place. He's just mad that he killed his father. We should talk to him about this," he tried

to make him see the reasons.

Gregory regarded him for a moment. "How do you know he doesn't remember? For all I know, Leo

might be trying to play us. He's always secretive and I thought it was because he was Hercules's right

hand. What if he's trying to protect himself by lying that he doesn't remember anything?"

"Greg!" Alfred called in frustration.

"Don't Greg me, Alfred! I am mad about all this! I am as angry as Grey is. And I won't hesitate to kill the

murderer of my friend. I know you won't either."

Alfred sighed. "But Leo used to be our friend."

'That-," he stressed. 'That was why I haven't done anything to him all this while. But you know that

friends can be enemies at any point in time. Though, I didn't believe Leo could do something like that.

Yet, I'm not ready to find out," he finished and walked away.

Alfred cupped his face for a few minutes of the thoughtful moment. He didn't know what to do.

Caramel stared down at the news on the internet. Her mouth went with shock. She couldn’t believe

what was currently happening.

There was news that Hercules was dead. Why was there news that he was suddenly alive. What was

really going on?

Well, perhaps she was going to find out soon enough.

Perhaps that was what Grey was going to tell her. He had no choice anyways. She was going to know

the truth, either forcefully or not. She could meet with Alex and demand the truth. The decision as to

what she was supposed to do was left to Grey and well, he did make a nice decision.

There was a slight knock on the door and Caramel walked out of the house.

"I'm sorry for disturbing but there’s someone here to see you," one of the maids announced.

Caramel didn't say a word and instead followed her to the living room where Richard was, waiting.

He stood at the sight of her. "Hi, miss Caramel."

Caramel regarded him for a moment. "Where’s Grey?"

"He sent me to get you. We can leave now."

Caramel nodded briefly. "Do you work for Hercules or Grey?"

Richard sighed. "I think it's best to follow me. If he doesn't want you to know the truth, he wouldn't have

sent me," he voiced out.

Caramel reasoned it for a moment. He was right anyways. She shouldn't be too curious.

"But is Grey really alright?" She found herself asking again after she had entered the car. "Alex is

looking for him and he promised to kill him," she revealed.

Richard smiled softly. "You don't have to worry about anything. I’m sure he's fine," he seemed too sure

and it amazed Caramel.

Nevertheless, she relaxed and tried to stay cool.

Richard pulled to a stop and Caramel realised they were at the port. There was this big ship with the

name Hercules around it. And it looked like the ship would take off anytime soon.

Richard looked back at Caramel. "We need to be fast. The ship will move soon." He said with an

urgency in his voice.

Caramel was skeptical. "What are we doing here? I'm supposed to meet with Grey and not Hercules.

What’s really happening here?"

Richard sighed, frustrated. "I can't explain and I’m not in the position to do so. Just follow me," he

instructs.

Caramel doubtfully stared at him. What was really happening?
