Chapter 260: Murmurs
Grey placed a call to Charles on his way home. That was after he had spoken to Don and told him
things he must do and how it must be visible. But he was yet to let Charles know the second spy was
Thomas.
Grey had gone back to pick up his car while
Todd went home in a cab.
Charles picked up as Grey entered his house.
“Hi, Grey. Where are you?”
“I’m at home. And I was able to speak with
Gary. You can come to Protos Pubblicita tomorrow so I can tell you about everything. Though, I want
you to beware of Thomas. He’s the new spy that was implanted by Giovanni.”
“Alright, I will be there tomorrow then. But I didn’t know Thomas could be the spy.
Though, I still wonder what is really going
I will tell Gregory to be careful too.”
“Alright.”
Gary walked out of the living room after speaking with Charles casually. He noticed that Charles had
also changed the way he talked to him, which could only be because
Grey had informed him of the latest news.
He was walking towards the garden when a hand yanked him out of the way. He stared back at
Thomas.

to us that you are with us?”
Gary yanked his hand away. “If I say I’m with Giovanni, then I am,” he said with a clear expression. “I
don’t have a say in where Grey or the other elders wish to go and you guys shouldn’t have made it
visible that you were actually tailing us,” he scolded as if he was really annoyed.
Thomas let out a sigh. “I will inform them. So, anything?”
Gary nodded briefly. “Grey spoke with Alfred about Fred. They are scared that he would expose their
secret. So, they are looking for him and if they find him, they will kill him. immediately,” he explained.
Thomas gathered his brows. “What secret?”
Gary shook his head briefly. “I don’t know. I think you need to ask Fred. It looked like he was the only
one with this secret.”
Thomas nodded briefly. “Cover me. I will be back in an hour.”
Gary nodded briefly. “No problem. Just make sure you are back very early. I will make sure the ladder
is waiting for you,” he assured.
Thomas nodded briefly, in a pleasing way. ” Later then.” And he walked away.
Gary regarded him for a moment, with a smile spread across his face.
“What the fuck is this?” Beatrice yelled suddenly and hit the door slightly.”
Grey stirred in his sleep. It took him a moment to realize it was Beatrice and she was actually trying to
tell him about something.
He got up, moved closer to the door, and opened it.
Beatrice wore a worried expression. “There’s ongoing news about Hercules! You need to watch it!” she
said hurriedly.
She didn’t even wait for his invitation before she dashed inside, took the remote and took the tv to a
station.
A presenter appeared on the screen with a headline, ‘Is Hercules really dead or alive?’
Grey’s eyes went wide with shock for a while.
He wasn’t shocked that he saw the news but because he wasn’t expecting it. Could Don’s attitude have
triggered and made them believe there really was no Hercules?
“What’s wrong? Why is there news that you are dead?” She asked, worries written all over her face.
Grey forgot that he didn’t take Beatrice along in his plan.
“Beatrice, it’s_,” he didn’t complete the word when Caramel walked inside.
“Mom, I didn’t know you would be here,” she muttered, then looked up to the news that the Presenter
was still talking about.” What! Hercules isn’t alive?”
No one spoke because they didn’t know how they were supposed to reply to her question. Well, it was
a rhetorical question.
“I mean this isn’t possible, right? How can it be? I danced with him that night!” She stressed it out.
Grey inclined his head to a side. “I thought you said you won’t be going to the party.’
Caramel sighed. “I told you that I didn’t mean to but could I have danced with an imposter?”
Grey shrugged slightly. “Anything could have been the case.”
Beatrice still had this worried expression as she watched Grey. She thought Grey was supposed to
look towards keeping his identity and even revealing it, not the opposite.
Grey wasn’t able to explain anything to
Beatrice that morning because Caramel insisted on driving Beatrice to work.
So, Grey had to go to SU alone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he entered, there were murmurs concerning the latest news about Hercules.
“Did you hear the news? I couldn’t believe it! “Someone said suddenly.
“I mean it’s not possible that Hercules doesn’t exist! How could that have happened?”
“I even heard his name is Grey. He died ten years ago. His elders were only trying to prevent Giovanni
from finding out. That was why they got someone to impersonate him,’ someone explained.
“Yes!” One chimed in. “That was why he was always using a face mask. They are scared of the world
knowing.”
“But how then did this leak out?”
People were worried. Though, some were happy and that would include Alex and
Giovanni.
Grey stepped inside the elevator but before the door would close, three ladies walked
inside and Grey noticed Tina in their midst.
“I bet Grey is a long gone case. Or maybe he’s just a coward!” Tina said suddenly.
Grey felt alerted. “Are you guys talking about me?”
The ladies hesitated for a moment before they all turned to look at Grey as if they were just realizing
that someone was behind them.
“Oh, you are here?” Tina stressed, with a teasing smile.
“Was I invisible? You didn’t tell me I’ve become one of the marvels.”
Tina laughed so loud and heartily as if she had been keeping it in for so long. “I thought you had
Hercules with you. I didn’t know it was an imposter that has been backing you up. You think you will be
able to order anyone here after the truth has leaked out?”
What? Grey was flabbergasted.
