Chapter 300: Poison the second in command
Tina yelled out before she collapsed.
Jane hurried out almost immediately but stopped suddenly when she saw Tina's corpse on the floor.
She gasped, totally scared now.
"What the fuck!" She exclaimed.
"That's what would become of you, Jane if you try to mess with me. There will be no mercy," He
warned in deep tones that Jane jerked up again.
Jane looked really frightened now.
Grey smiled softly. He actually loved the look of fear on her face.
He moved closer to her. "You will continue to work in SU world and you will still meet with Giovanni and
report everything to me. Is that understood?"
Jane nodded severally. "I will do everything you want." She voiced out, with a quaver to her voice.
Grey regarded her for a moment. "I will get across to you how it's going to be and what you are to tell
Giovanni. But know that I will always be watching you," he threatened thickly.
Jane nodded briefly. "Alright."
He turned to look at Tiana. "Fly her out immediately," and he walked away.
Grey entered his room and got dressed. After some minutes, he walked out to the guys in the living
room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDon hurried to him. "Tiana and Jane are on the way to Jacksonville," he announced.
Grey nodded once. "We are done here. We are going to Jacksonville as well."
In less than two hours, Grey was in the house while the men stood guard around. Grey felt tired for a
moment but he knew he had to visit Charles in the hospital.
But he didn't want to go with the entourage. He doesn't even want to move around with them. He
placed a call to Gregory.
He picked it up immediately. "Hello, boss. How are you doing?"
"Fine, I need you and Alfred to call off the men. I don't need men to protect me."
"Well, it's our duty to protect you, Hercules. And besides, we don't know what's coming our way. We all
know how Giovanni can be," he expressed.
Grey sighed. "I’m sure Giovanni wouldn't want to hurt me in the daytime."
"I'm not going to trust him, Grey. And we are not going to risk your life, not now that you are hell-bent
on avenging your parents' death."
"We've been going easy on them for a while now. It wouldn't be bad if we start on them now," Grey
informed.
Gregory sighed. "I know, Grey but you are going too fast. And that's why we the elders have decided to
keep the men around you for now."
Grey released an exasperated sigh. "I'm going to work. I need to go to the hospital. Do you want the
civilians to know that I'm Hercules?"
"Then, maybe you should stay at home for now. At least, until we've gotten control of the situation.
Alfred is working on it. Or you should see Charles in the evening when you are comfortable to go with
the escorts. But we can't allow you to go alone, it's very dangerous." He explained.
Grey sighed again, maybe for the umpteenth time that day. "Seriously? Gregory?"
"I'm sorry, boss but this is what I must do, even though I'm aware of the consequences. The elders are
ready to take up the consequences," he expressed.
Grey released a sigh. "I see that this is a lost cause already. Goodbye," he finished and the line went
off.
Grey dropped the phone to the chair and released another exasperated sigh. He knew it was a lost
cause already. Gregory and Alfred were all bent on protecting him. Though he understood them, he
knew how much that could cost him.
But he knew he needed to leave at all costs. He needed to go to the hospital to see Charles. And he
needed to do it at that moment.
Grey went upstairs to change his attire. He felt a bit exhausted because of the ride. He got changed
into an overall black.
When he walked into the living room, the men weren't there. And a plan entered his mind. He knew
what he was going to do and had to act upon it quickly.
A soft knock came on the door and the door was about to open.
Grey took the other door and entered the store. The door was too small. So, he waited for the men to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmleave the living room.
The men didn't see Grey in the living room and probably thought he was in his room. So, they went up
the stairs.
Grey took it as his chance to sneak out of the room. He pulled to a sudden stop when he saw some of
his men having a chat.
He stooped below and started to tiptoe over to the back of the door. He went off the fence and jumped
on the other side.
He hesitated to see if anyone has followed him or if there was anyone around.
Having confirmed that no one was there, he got up and walked to the street. He flagged down a taxi
and got it.
"Where?" The driver asked and Grey showed him the address that Aphrodite had sent to him.
It didn't take up to an hour when the car pulled to a sudden stop in front of the hospital.
Grey got down, paid the driver, and went inside the hospital. He saw a few of the men in the lobby and
avoided them by taking the other way.
He had already demanded the hospital number from Aphrodite as well. So, he entered the elevator and
went directly to the fourth floor, where Charles was because he was a VIP.
When he entered the floor, he was shocked as there were no men in front of the door.
He remembered Aphrodite telling him that he was being guarded. Though, he saw some men in the
lobby. So, that was true. But why weren't there any men in front of the room?
Maybe they were inside.
He walked closer, and opened the door slowly but stopped when he saw a guy in a hoodie about to
inject Charles with an unknown substance.
