Chapter 447: Misled
Charles looked at Grey.
"Go now! I will distract him!" He said quickly and rushed out of the elevator.
Grey covered his face very well with the hood and turned aside.It was at this moment that Alex rounded off what he was saying to his men and turned towards the elevator.His eyes went wide with shock as he looked at Charles.
"Charles?"
Charles feigned surprise, as he stood in front of the elevator so that Alex wouldn't be able to enter.
Alex didn't suspect anything as his attention was on Charles.
"It's actually pleasing to meet you here.But I'm not here for you." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"How disappointing,"
Charles voiced out suddenly, as the elevator closed.He released a sigh of relief.
"I actually knew how notorious X your father was," he eventually stepped aside from the elevator.
"But I didn't expect him to shamelessly let you off the hook.You x disgraced him.Yet, he's still willing to risk his reputation to get you out." Alex scoffed.
"What do you think? I'm sure you are just bitter for Grey.Grey didn't think that I would get out.No, he must be the * most bitter man.He must be turning at this moment!" He laughed.
Charles rushed forward with anger and grabbed his collar.
"Don't talk about him in such a way!" He yelled.
One of Alex's men moved closer and yanked Charles' hand away x from Alex.
"What can you do to me now? Your boss is dead.I'm sure this * group will collapse soon.
Without a boss, the followers are easily tired.
Unless they are yet to know that Grey is the Hercules, the one that was buried several days ago,"he taunted.
Charles clenched his fist beside him in anger.
"There's a lot we can do to you.You are going down, Alex.You are going back to prison.And your father will never get the award," he promised.
Alex regarded him for a moment before he laughed out so loud.
"Seriously? I thought as much.I knew it was your work but well, it will all be handled by me now that I'm here," he took a step forward to fill the space between them.
"And if you don't stay mindful of yourself, you will go next," he warned sternly, then pulled away.
"Nice meeting you again, old friend.See you later," he turned around and walked away with his men.
"Should we get rid of him?" Maro asked Alex as they walked to the next elevator.
Alex shook his head briefly.
"Not here.We can do it later but it's so crowded here and I don't know who else is here with him.If I don't act cautious, it will backfire," he explained.
Maro nodded once.
"I will get one of the men to spy on him." Alex nodded once.
"That's good."
Charles released a sigh.He was scared for a moment.He thought that Alex was actually going to see Grey.
If that happens, all their plans would be thwarted.
Damn! He was so scared.
And the funniest part was that he was already releasing beads of perspiration.
All the moves he displayed were so that Alex wouldn't notice anything strange and he succeeded.He pulled out his phone and placed a call to Grey.
The phone rang but suddenly, it wasn't available again.It bothered him.
Could Grey have lost his phone? Grey walked back to the garage and realised that there were several men standing guards at every corner.
There was no way for Grey to know if they were Alex's men but there was one thing he was sure of.
The men were definitely looking for him.
Because none of them were standing guard when they pulled into the garage that morning.
And Alex was already inside the company at that moment.
Something seemed wrong.
Grey was in hiding when his phone rang suddenly.
It was Charles but he was calling at the wrong time.
Grey managed to hang up as fast as he could but it had already attracted the men.
The men started to walk towards him now.
They weren't much, actually and Grey could take them down quickly but he just didn't want his identity to be revealed.
If he doesn't act very carefully, all his plans would go to waste.
"Who is there?"
One of the men demanded in an angry tone.
"Come out at this moment!"
They knew something was wrong too.
If someone was hiding from them, then it could be who they were looking for.So, they continued to move closer.
Suddenly, a car horn sounded from behind them, distracting them for a moment.
"Where am I supposed to park my car? How am I supposed to go see my client?"
A feminine voice yelled in frustration.
The men's attention was fully divided and while some of the men started towards the lady in need, some turned towards their first prey.
During the interruption, Grey used the opportunity to walk back to the company.
They walked towards the location where they knew the sound came from earlier.
They met nothing.
They all cursed at once.
Thankfully with the hoodie that Grey was putting on, he was able to walk without being noticed.
He moved towards another elevator and he was eventually able to find an empty one.He placed a call to Charles immediately.
"Where are you?" Charles asked quickly.
"I'm back in the elevator.I suppose Alex would have been in an elevator already.I'm in an empty one, so we won't meet," he assured.
"But something is wrong."
"What is wrong? Also, I called you the other time but you didn't pick up.What happened?"
"Something is wrong, Charles.There were a lot of men in the garage when I got there.I suspected they could be from Alex.So, I had to hide," he explained.
"Actually, that feels really strange.Do you think there's something Maximo isn't telling us? Alex said he would handle everything that could hinder his father from getting the award," he revealed.
Grey reasoned it for a moment.
"Could Maximo be working for Alex?" Alex gasped.
"That's not possible!"
"That's what I want to believe too but it was Maximo that called me here this morning.And why will Alex come to see him so early this morning if there wasn't more to it? Could he have told Alex the truth?"
The truth was scary.
"Fuck! I don't believe it.I spoke with Alex the other time but he didn't act as if he knew.Though, there was this boldness I sensed from him.Could he truly know everything?"
"I'm seeing Maximo immediately!" Grey almost yelled.
