Chapter 334: Weird request

"So when we found you was when Giovanni discovered you were still alive?" Leo nodded briefly.

"Exactly.I had to fake my death forever actually.So, I didn’t expect you would recognize me.That was why I pretended to be suffering from temporary memory loss," he explained.

Grey nodded once.

"Alright.So, what do you want to do now? You’ve betrayed us a lot." Leo released a sigh as if thinking about Grey’s question.

He may want to be with Hercules and his other friends forever but he knew that he lost the opportunity already and he didn’t expect to get it back.

"I know, that was why I said I won’t tell you to take me back.I will just find a place to go.Italy or anywhere," he stressed.

"I have a question too," Charles said suddenly and sniffed inside.

"How did you escape the fire that day because I clearly made sure you were inside before I set the house on fire," He asked softly as if he was scared of people hearing his voice.

Leo looked over at him, regarding him for a moment.

"I had a secret room.I was able to enter before the explosion.Though, I suffered some skin damage too because of the heat."

He pulled back his sleeve to reveal a fire mark all around the skin.

"There’s another one on my stomach.I would have been dead if I didn’t have something on at that time," he explained.

Charles swallowed harder and looked away as tears were about to come out of his eyes.He actually attempted to kill his father.

"I’m sorry," he whispered.

Leo looked at Charles and smiled.

"I forgave you a long time again, Charles.But if only Grey can forgive me, it would be very much better," he tried to smile. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"I've done a lot of bad things in this world.Even the world is tired of me," he tried to crack a joke.

"It would be very pleased to see me leave." Charles felt alerted.

"Are you going to-," he pulled to a sudden stop.

Leo shook his head briefly.

"I will stay on the outskirts of the town.I will not make myself known anywhere.Charles had tears streaming down his face slowly but he always managed to wipe them off way faster.

"We will forget you over there.And there will be no Leo in existence.As far as we are concerned, you died a long time again with my father," Grey muttered.

Leo nodded once.

"I will do anything you want, Hercules." He regarded Charles for another moment before he stood.

"I will be leaving now, then." No one said a word until Leo was at the door.

"You don’t have to go actually," Grey said suddenly.

Even Charles was shocked.

"I mean I’ve forgiven you.Charles doesn’t have a father figure in his life and he clearly needs it.You’ve been gone for more than ten years now and Charles had to grow up without one.It’s time you guys get back together."

"Seriously? You forgave my father?"

Charles was still shocked.

Grey nodded briefly and stood.

"But he will still be facing the panel.The elders will determine his fate and," he hesitated as he moved closer to Leo.

"I’m doing this because of Charles actually," he revealed much to Charles's hearing.

"I will be back, I need to clear my head," he muttered and walked out of the room.

Grey decided to go to the bar since they have one as well.

Just as he walked inside, his gaze searched around quickly for the bar stand.

The place wasn’t so crowded as it was a special bar for the people staying in the suites and well, some of them would be at another area or place.

Grey ordered a bottle of champagne and just as he turned around with it.

A woman was kissing a man in the corner of the room.

In fact, it seemed to be getting deep as if they didn’t care if they make out in that place.

Actually, there was something familiar about the lady even though Grey couldn’t see her face.

"Hey!" someone yelled at him suddenly.

It was the barman.

Grey turned around to look at him.

"Sorry, can I get another champagne sent to room 50?"

The man nodded briefly and did the necessity before he stretched out Greg’s card to him again.

When he turned around again, he almost froze.

The lady was a bit apart and he could clearly see who she was.

Aphrodite? Grey’s bottle of champagne dropped from his hand as the man pulled Aphrodite closer for another kiss, while his hand scooped her ass.

In public? Grey saw brimstone as he advanced closer, barely noticing that something just dropped from his hand.

"Get your hands off her this instant!"

Grey almost swore as he pulled the man apart from Aphrodite.

Aphrodite looked at him at laughed.

"Oh, look who is here! Grey!"

She joked drunkenly.

Well, Grey was a bit surprised because Aphrodite has never been so loose in public and she had never drunk so much.

"But I still need you in my room.Let’s go,"

Aphrodite beckoned the guy over to her side with a seductive smile.Grey felt his head reel.

"If you take a step closer to her, I will kill you!"

He muttered thickly, in a voice that showed how angry he was.

Aphrodite smiled.

"Will you kiss me then?"

Grey was shocked but he ignored her ranting.

"You are drunk and you need to go back inside."

Grey was with Charles when he fai-ed to realise that Aphrodite was actually all by herself.

And could it be that because they were far away from home, was why Aphrodite was suddenly being herself? Well, aside from being a strong woman, she was a lady.

Getting drunk was totally nothing to be so worked up about but Grey was still shocked.

Aphrodite was always so reserved.

"I’m taking you to your room so you better fuck off!"

Grey clenched his teeth like an angry lion at the man.

Aphrodite giggled.

"Room 19, come over tonight and let’s have fun," she told the man as Grey took her off her feet towards their room.

He almost bounced on the man when he reciprocated Aphrodite's smile.

And Grey knew that he had accepted the invite.

Who wouldn't accept an invite from a beautiful woman like Aphrodite? Her stupid reason why she wouldn't have even a boyfriend was what was bothering Grey.

The other women were awed at Grey’s strength.

"He’s definitely protecting his girlfriend. He’s so cute," one of them said.

Grey had no time to reply to them anyways.So, he let them be.

He walked inside the room and slowly placed her on the bed.

Just as he was about to go lock the door, a soft voice reached his ears, stopping him for a moment in shock.

"Can you touch me?"
