Chapter 433: New deal
Grey got ready for the meeting which was coming up in an hour.He walked out, clad in a blue suit.Aphrodite walked closer to him.
"Are you going alone?" Grey nodded once as he made his tie.
"They invited me alone.So, it's normal that I'm going alone."
Aphrodite stepped forward to help him.
"Alright.I heard everything from Alfred.Are you sure it's really going to be alright? Or does that mean we are trapped in Italy?" Grey shook his head negatively.
"Trust me, Novia.I will find a way very soon.Let's just leave Giovanni to enjoy it a bit longer," he suggested.
Aphrodite finished, stepped back, and let out a smile.
"I'm counting on you." Grey sent her a nice smile as well.
"How is Thomas doing?"
Aphrodite laughed at this.
"Seriously? Don't act as if you are worried about him," she didn't wait for him to say more before she walked into the kitchen.
Grey regarded her for a moment before he walked out of the house.Two men were already waiting for him in the car he was taking.n.ovelebook The door of the back seat was held open before Grey would reach the car.
"Where's Charles?" One of them bowed.
"We haven't seen him today."
Grey nodded once and got inside the car.Soon, the car was pulling out of the garage and into the street, towards where the billionaire would be having a meeting that afternoon.
"who invited Hercules into our midst?" One of the members questioned.
"I did," Maximo voiced out and everyone turned to look at him.
"Is that even something we should be worried about?" Leonardo muttered.
"Well, it is something we need to discuss.Hercules is from Jacksonville.We can't just allow him to join us like that."
"Yes, I concur but that doesn't stop us from being friends.But I don't think he should be invited as part of the billionaire club in Italy,"another one suggested.
"Well," Enzo started suddenly.
"We really have to think about a lot of things, especially the fact that we have not won the king of the world for twenty years now.We can actually let Hercules win it.It won't only bring honour to Italy but also break through the history we have on us."
"Well," one of the men groaned.
"That's actually hard.I mean would it make any sense if he joined us?"
"Well, we could ask Hercules how to go about it.If we can do this, it will go well." Dante added.
"That is if Hercules will like to join us,"
Maximo uttered suddenly and looked up.
"We have to hear from him what he wants."
The door opened suddenly and Grey walked inside the hall.He noticed briefly the numbers of members of the billionaire club before he looked at Maximo.
There was no president on the seat or maybe he hadn't arrived, Grey noted.
"Hercules, please come over here," Maximo gestured at a seat with a wide smile on his face.
Grey complied.He was with no mask.
"We are very sorry, Hercules for inviting you to our meeting like this," Leonardo started.
Grey nodded briefly.
"It's ok.I had enough time to prepare for it."
"Actually, the main reason why we invited you is to see if you will be interested in joining our billionaire club," Ben announced.
Grey regarded him for a moment.
"Why? Actually, I am only here for some days.Why do you want me to be part of this club?"
"Well, the best part of it is that you get to be the new billionaire president of this club,"Enzo announced suddenly.
Grey looked at Enzo with eyes wide with shock.
"What? I mean, why? Why will you suddenly want that?"
"Well, as you can see,"Dante started.
"We don't have any billionaire president at this moment."
"In fact, the thing is that we want this year's king of the world to be from Italy and we want you to help us," Romeo explained.
Grey regarded the men for a moment. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"To get this straight, you want to make me the president so that we can get the king of the world for this year?"
"We don't have much time left actually.The announcement is going to be this month."
"Exactly.Yes, I know you only want to spend a few days here but we can actually make it work before you return,"Maximo tried to convince Grey.
"I mean it would be a great one for you as well if you win something so big."Yes, Maximo was right.It was exactly what Grey wanted anyways.It was what he hoped to achieve before coming to Italy.
And it was the only way out since Giovanni had suddenly taken over the club at Jacksonville.What Grey didn't know actually was that the day to choose the king of the world was so close by and that the Italian billionaire club doesn't even have a president.It was actually luck on his side as usual.
"How can we qualify for this post? What would be taken into consideration?" Grey asked suddenly.
"Does this mean you have agreed to do this?" Maximo asked curiously.
Grey nodded once.
"Though, I have a rule that Maximo already knows," he said and sat up.
'My identity isn't supposed to be made known until the announcement day.I just hope we get the award."
"Well, we are all positive with you.Right everyone?"
They all nodded in affirmation.
"So, what are the criteria for being selected as the king of the world?" Grey repeated.
The meeting ended in exactly two hours after a long discussion.Grey was already thinking of how to really become the king of the world.He was going to do it and disappoint Giovanni.
Then maybe it would be the perfect time to show his face to the world.
Yes! The award would do just that.
And Giovanni would realize that he wasn't dead.
If he won the award, Giovanni's new position as the billionaire president wouldn't even matter anymore.Grey's phone rang suddenly.It was from Don.
"Hello, boss.I have something to tell you concerning David," he announced suddenly.
"Yes, what's it about?"
"David now works for Giovanni."
