Chapter 9

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;: face smacking?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; Gregory was a tall and sturdy man like Grey. He was just slightly taller and with a face that could be
described as being handsome.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He was dressed in a Dormeiul Vanquish ii suit worth $95,319. Everything about him actually speaks rich.
Grey had also heard about him but it was the first time he would be seeing him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What the fuck is happening here?” Alfred asked the moment he was closed enough. Gregory stood by
the car and he seemed to be on a call.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I’m sorry sir but the only thing going on here is about this man. I refused his entry because he was a
thief.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What!” Alfred yelled angrily and slapped the waiter on the face. “How dare you call him a thief? And why
the fuck will you refuse him entry. Is this your restaurant or my restaurant?” He boomed. “Anyways, I
invited him here and for treating my guest in such a way, you are fired!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Oh my!” The waiter went down on his knees immediately. “Please don’t fire me!” He pleaded.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey looked up at Seth and Nora. There was a surprised look on their face as they hurried into the
restaurant.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey smiled, feeling happy in himself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Please,I’m so sorry! Please! I’m so sorry for looking down at you!” The waiter screamed desperately, his
gaze on Grey as he was led out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey watched him for a moment until he was out of sight.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Please, do come in,” Alfred urged and walked ahead while Grey followed quickly. He noticed that
Gregory was also walking behind him but he was careful to keep his pace.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;That was actually the number one characteristic of being proud.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They took another route by their left and walked out to various rooms by the left. Before they could step
inside, a waiter hurried closer to them.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Welcome boss, can I get you something?” He said with respect. His eyes darted at Grey, then back at
Alfred.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Alfred nodded. ” Yes, wines will do. Can I get the list of wines that you have currently? I mean top-notch.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The waiter smiled. ” I have it memorized already. So, we have Tequila Ley which costs $3.5 Million,
Billionaire Vodka which cost $3.7 Million, Isabella Islay Whisky which costs $6.2 Million, and Armand de
Brignac Midas which costs $265,0000,” he replied with a bright smile, feeling proud of himself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey exclaimed softly. Wines that cost a lot of money. Who would have thought he would be able to drink
wines like that?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Alfred thought for a moment. “I have special guests with me today. So, I think I will be going with the
highest. Isabella Islay Whisky is best. I want three in the VIP room right now.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” Understood boss,” he took a short bow and turned around quickly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” Why must your Waiter mention the price of your wines before you choose the one you want?” Gregory
said suddenly, with a teasing voice, yet his voice was deep and with a strange aura.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Because I don’t follow the taste of wines, I go with the event of the day. And the prices of the wine would
determine what event it would go with.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Gregory chuckled. ” Weird equation.”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Alfred moved to the first door and unlocked it. He stopped to look back at Greg. “There’s privacy
here,You won’t have to worry about anyone revealing your identity.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey nodded and followed him inside the exquisite room. It was a big room with a small round table and
six comfortable chairs around it. There were two bouquets at each side of the room, close to the table.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a big chandelier hanging over the table that almost looked as though it would come down at
any moment.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They all moved to sit. Grey used the opportunity to give Gregory a deep scrutiny. Nice cheekbone, well-
carved eyebrows that could move at intervals, and a mouth that played quickly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The way he sat, Grey realized that it showed power. He commands power and he wouldn’t be someone
that would easily be ordered around. And Grey might have a problem with that. Though, it was nothing
that couldn’t be settled that night.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” so, ” Alfred turned slightly towards Gregory. “I found Hercules’s grandson but he’s currently undercover
which is why I had to call him here.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a soft knock on the door. It opened almost immediately and two waiters walked inside. One
was with two buckets of wine while the other was with a bucket of wine and three glass cups.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Anything else, boss,” the guy stepped aside while Gregory helped himself by pouring the wine into the
cup.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No, I will call you if I ever need to,” Alfred assured and the waiters walked out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” I supposed he is Hercules?” Gregory moved the cup to his mouth and watched Greg through the
transparent glass.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Yes. I wanted him to meet with the elders. I think he should do that before he would come to the group
to address the members.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” There’s something that amuses me,” Gregory scoffed suddenly and looked down at the wines on the
table. “I wonder why you are the one doing the talk. Is the Hercules dumb?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” You will not speak like that to Hercules!” Alfred said at once.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Grey laughed and looked up at Gregory for a moment. “I like your boldness. No wonder you are the boss
but you should accept who you are. I am Hercules and I am here to take my position.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Gregory laughed. ” Seriously? You were absent for so long!” He snapped. ” You can’t just come back one
day and start claiming the position.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;” Right,” Grey nodded briefly, ” I know I have been absent for so long but I’m back and I will try all I can to
prove to everyone how much of Hercules that I am.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Alfred smiled. ” That’s what I wanted to hear.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Gregory scoffed suddenly and forced Grey’s gaze towards him. He wasn’t really expecting him to accept
him immediately.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Gregory was known for his stubbornness. That aside, who would let a kid like him control him?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But what was he supposed to do?&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
