The members on the conference call actually heaved a relieved sigh.
"I'm glad that I'm able to convince you.Is there anything you would need me to do for you?"
"I think we should end the conference call now," one of the members initiated.
The elders on the screen made a nod of the head.
Their jobs were done anyways.
"We have six special members.We just need to convince at least one more, then the position will be
yours.That won't be difficult to do," one of the members assured Grey.
"But I used to think you were the billionaire boss of Jacksonville club until I heard that Giovanni took
over and that you were dead." Grey laughed briefly.
"As, like I said earlier, Giovanni doesn't know where I am currently.In fact, he doesn't know that we are
participating in this contest."
There was a nod of the head.
"I'm sorry but I have to run now.But I will see you again.I can't afford to let anyone know that the Italy
billionaire club has connected with you until the announcement day," Grey explained.
The three members stood and extended their hands for a handshake.Grey took it one after the other.
"It's actually a pleasure to see the famous Hercules without the face mask." Grey laughed again.
"The pleasure is actually mine. Oh, I would like to talk about your men. Are they trustworthy? Because
our plan could go into ruins if we have a spy among us."
"I will make sure nothing bad happens," one of the men promised.
Then, we will speak with you when you come with Miss Avery," he announced.
Grey nodded once before he walked out of the room.He released a sigh and placed the nose mask on
again.
The man from earlier, looked at Grey until he was out of sight.
Grey entered the elevator and removed the mask.He released a relieved sigh, glad that his plan
actually worked.
Everything was going well already.
Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he noticed the same men from earlier, still standing at intervals
but since he wasn't wearing a mask, they probably didn't know it was him.
Though, some men looked at him until he was out of the company.
Avery was leaning against the door when Grey walked to her.
"Can we leave now?" Avery jerked out of her thoughts and looked up at Grey.
"Wow, you are back early.How was it?"
Grey moved to the driver's side.
"We will talk on the way out."
Avery nodded once and got into the passenger's side.
Grey pulled out into the street.
"Guess what, Avery?"
Avery looked at him, with a huge smile on her face.
"You got it?"
Grey nodded once.
"I did," he smiled.
"Charles agreed to be one of your investors."
Avery yelled with delight.
"Oh my! I'm so happy! I can't believe you did all this! This is a cause for celebration.We had a lot of luck
today.We are getting big people as investors," she looked away.
"If Hercules wasn't dead, I would have said we should try him as well," she muttered.
Grey smiled briefly.
"Why don't you meet with Giovanni then? Or his son, Alex?" Avery laughed.
"I was just kidding, David.Hercules, Giovanni, and Alex aren't on my list."
"Why? Because they are mafia lords?"
"Maybe, aren't they scary? I wouldn't want to have my name on the list if I make any single mistake."
"What about me? You don't fear me?"
Avery looked at him for a moment.
"I don't! I feel like we've known each other since ages ago."
Well, she does know him but she just didn't know it was him.
"Where are we going now? To get an office space, right?" Grey said suddenly.
"Yes, to get an office space.How close are you with Maximo?"
"Well, not really that close but we are close.Why? Do you want to make Maximo one of your investors
too? Have you forgotten he's a mafia lord?" Avery laughed.
"Maximo's issue is a bit complicated.He's not easy to deal with, yet he provides me with a state of
peace.I don't know if I should be scared of him or not."
"Oh, don't!"
Grey laughed as well.
"Well, don't be scared of him.Maximo likes you.So, he would never hurt you."
Avery regarded Grey for another moment.
"What's your Italian name?"
Grey went stiff at this question.He wasn't expecting it anyways.
"Why?" Avery shrugged briefly.
"I just wanted to know.I mean most people here have Italian names except you." Grey nodded briefly.
He didn't know what Avery was getting at but he didn't want to give her pieces that would make her
start linking things together.
Avery was smart.
"Dante," he muttered.
Avery smiled.
"I love it."
Giovanni re-dialed the number severally and angrily dropped it on the table.
"Or has something happened?"
One of his men asked.
Giovanni looked up at the man.
"Something definitely happened to the men.There was no way he wouldn't call me back all this
while.Could the mafia lords in Italy have killed them? If they had, doesn't that mean that they were
hiding? And they have a billionaire club and they would, in fact, be participating in this contest."
"We need to confirm that this is true.Should I send more men? If they die this time, then we should be
assured that it's the mafia lords that are at work."
Giovanni regarded him for a moment and slowly nodded.
"Send three other men,"he ordered.
The man bowed briefly.
"Alright boss."
Giovanni stood suddenly and turned around.He walked to the bar and took a bottle of champagne.
"Has Richard gotten back to me?"
"No, boss.I haven't heard anything."
Giovanni turned around to face the man again.
"Seriously? What's taking him so long? It’s almost two weeks already.What is taking him so long?"
He hesitated as if thinking about it.
"I'm visiting him tonight.Get ready for that."
The man bowed slightly.
"Alright boss."
"You are dismissed," he ordered and the man rushed out of the room.
Richard wasn't even making things easy for him.He was supposed to be done with all the practicals by
now.He didn't know what was taking him so long.
Besides, he wondered If Italy was playing him.
There was something really going on in Italy that he was yet to know.
And Richard wasn't making things easy for him.
Or should he go to Italy? The announcement day was near and he had to eliminate all threats that
could stand against him.
And he wondered what the members of Hercules were currently doing.
