Chapter 275: Almost caught
Grey didn't want to think about the fact that Leo was staring at him or the fact that the expression
meant something else he couldn't figure out but he didn't want to talk to him. It was taking him every
ounce of his strength not to do anything to him.
He wasn't going to kill Leo but they might as well stay off each other till the end of life. There was no
way he wouldn't feel anger anytime he looked at him and remembered he was actually the one that
killed his father.
"Done, Boss," Jimmy brought him back to the mundane world." I await your message."
"I will proceed with the assignment then," Maria informed and left earlier.
Grey took his previous clothes and moved out of the room. He went past Leo as if he didn't even see
him. He entered another room and got changed.
When he walked out again, only Charles was in the room. Funnily enough, he was with Leo. They sat
opposite each other in a way that showed that Charles was actually trying to initiate a conversation.
Grey went past them as if he didn't even know they were in the room.
The CCS program was starting very soon and he needed to arrive earlier to get the award for CCS.
He entered his car and placed a call to Richard. He picked it up immediately.
"Hello, Boss."
"Yea, Richard. I have an assignment for you. When the whole party stuff starts, I want you to get
Caramel on the ship."

"Alright, I will do that."
Grey nodded and hung up. He drove right to the red carpet hall.
He drove into the garage and noticed that there were men scattered everywhere, especially at the
entrance. It didn't take Grey a few minutes to discover what was going on.
It was either Giovanni or Alex. Someone was looking for him and going to stop him from entering the
hall.
What should he do?
His car’s engine was still running as his gaze searched around him, mentally counting the men and
thinking of how to deal with them.
But one of the men noticed his car and started towards him, soon they were two.
Grey pulled out from the parking space as more attention was diverted to him.
"Pull over!" One of them yelled.
Grey sighed and pulled to a sudden stop. The men walked even nearer. They were up to six now.
One moved closer to the driver's side. "The window!" He gestured.
Grey smiled as he remembered that his window was tinted. Instead of responding to his instructions,
Grey pressed on the accelerator. The car moved forward and then backward, hitting two men that the
others yelled and brought out their guns.
Grey dialled Charles' number immediately and let it continue ringing while he let disturbing the men.
A bullet was aimed at the body of the car but it was too strong to penetrate. And Grey knew he had to
do something or they would definitely destroy the car.
Charles picked up at this point. "Hi, boss."
"Alex had men around waiting to prevent me from entering the hall. I need backup."
"Give me some minutes, I will be right there soon." And the phone went off.
"Stop right now or you are going to regret it!" One of the men threatened.
Grey finally pulled to a stop and the men saw it as a cue to move closer to him. He let them and quietly
aimed for his gun.
The men eventually moved closer enough. One of them opened the door slowly, with the gun dangling
in the other hand.
There was no movement as Grey had moved to the passenger's seat. Just when he was trying to look
inside the car, a bullet pierced his heart and Grey pulled him closer.
The men rushed rain of bullets at him, unknown that they were only shooting one of them. Grey
crawled out of the car from the passenger seat towards a nearby car.
When one of the men eventually pulled the others back to their senses, they stopped shooting.
"Check him!" One of them ordered one of them.
He entered the car and discovered there was no one in the car.
"Look for him! Search the whole place!" The man who seemed like the leader yelled and the men
scattered around to look for Grey.
Grey watched the men for some minutes until one was moving closer to him. Not that he saw him but
he was obviously trying to look for Grey like the rest of the men.

off his hand.
He squeezed his neck, breaking his neck before he would say a word. Grey placed him on the floor
gently and looked around to confirm there was no one coming for him before he started to strip the man
off his clothes slowly.
Grey remembered that Charles might call him and quickly placed his phone in silent mode. It wasn't up
to a minute when Charles’s come actually came through.
Grey picked it up. "Hello Charles, where are you?"
"I’m almost in the garage. Where are you?"
Grey smiled. "Great! Perfect timing. Just give me a few minutes to get dressed. I will call you when I'm
done so you can come. It will serve as a distraction for me," he explained.
"Alright then, I will be waiting," Charles responded and Grey hung up.
Grey searched around again to see that he was safe before he went ahead to wear the clothes.
Within a few minutes, he was done.
He placed a call to Charles but he hadn’t picked it up when he felt something pointing at his head. It
was cold and well, felt like metal. He knew what it was before he turned around. No- before someone
told him to turn around.
'Turn around or I will blow your head off!" The speaker muttered from behind.
It was at that moment that Grey realised that one of the men was lying dead on the floor. If it wasn't for
that, the men might not have recognized him.
"Hello, Grey," Charles said into the receiver but Grey didn’t hear.
'Walk out or I'll shoot this bullet right through your head!"
