Chapter 226: The Truth

“What the fuck!” Gregory yelled suddenly, standing up in the process.

“Are you fucking kidding us? How could Leo kill the previous Hercules?” Luciano questioned.

Grey sighed. “Well, I saw it. I watched Leo shoot my father to death before he shot me as well and I

lost consciousness,” he revealed.

Gregory gave the chair two consecutive punches. “How can that be?” His angry voice echoed

throughout the whole room.

“I’m not getting this. I’m just not getting it. So, this means we actually have an enemy in our midst?

Giovanni isn’t the first enemy?” Jayden uttered.

“Hercules knew what this would cause, that was why he refused to say it until today. We shouldn’t

misuse the opportunity. We should however be calm to hear the rest of the story,” Alfred explained.

Gregory grunted and forced himself to sit. “This is seriously rubbish! We need to ask Leo why he did it!

What had happened? Why would one of the elders kill Hercules and injure his son!” He complained,

feeling very disturbed.

If Leo wasn’t helpless, he knew what he could have done. He was in fact starting to feel Grey’s pain.

No wonder, he had refused to see Leo and had insisted on killing him if he ever did.

“Well, I’ve been as skeptical and confused as you guys. I have no idea why my father’s closest friend

would be the one to kill him,” he sighed.” But that’s not even the important thing today. Charles wasn’t

surprised when I told him about it weeks ago. He knew that his father actually killed my father,” he

revealed.

All gazes settled on Charles.

“He does?” Luciano was shocked.

Gregory launched an attack toward him. He grabbed him by the collar, “you knew and you refused to

disclose it? And you kept all the elders silent!” He yelled to his face.

Charles said and did nothing.

“Gregory, leave him be!” Alfred persuaded. “We haven’t heard the end of the story.”

Gregory regarded him for another moment and released him suddenly so that he bounced on the

chair.” This is seriously sickening! I don’t blame the fact that Hercules was about to pull the trigger at

you yesterday! Your crimes are so much! What more have you and your father committed?” He yelled

angrily.

“Yes! These people should be punished according to our laws! How could they do this?” Luciano

lamented.

Grey’s head was bowed and he was in deep thought as well. There was no fucking way they would.

succeed if they had enemies in their midst. How could the elders be the ones killing themselves?

If Leo hadn’t killed his father, he would still be alive. Well, Grey wouldn’t have passed through all he

did. Those ten years felt like the 100 years of life full of hardship and troubles and hunger.

How was he going to overlook such an angle and forgive the idiots? Their sins were numerous

according to Gregory.

But well, it was time to know about it all. He wouldn’t stay in the darkness for too long, not again.

Gregory’s anger matched Grey as if he was the one that had gone past what Grey had.

“Please, continue,” Alfred told Grey.

Grey nodded once.” Yes, Charles knows that his father murdered my father but that’s not the only thing.

he knows. There’s more and I expect that was why he called me because I would treat his fuck up if h

tries to misbehave,” he threatened in low voice.

Charles sighed, with his head bent as he couldn’t bring himself to look up at the other elders. He was

filled with guilt and regret and then, sadness..

“I’m sorry for keeping this a secret among us but I thought the truth would never surface because all

this was my father’s fault,” he looked up as if he was trying to reconcile with experience. “If my father

hadn’t killed Hercules, I wouldn’t have to do what I did,” he expressed.

Alfred regarded him for a moment.” What did you do?”

Charles went quiet for a moment. “I tried to kill my father.”

Grey gathered his brows as he watched him. “What?”

“Yes, I set the house on ablaze with the mindset of killing my father after the death of Hercules and

after you,” he glanced at Grey. “Went missing.”

車

What the fuck!” Gregory muttered.

My father has been acting weird for days. Whenever I told him I was going to Hercules’ house to play

with Grey, he would shun me and tell me I had to visit my grandmother in days. I had to be prepared to

see her,” he started.

As he spoke, some images formed in front of Grey’s eyes. He remembered days when they were very

close. They played together and did almost everything together unless Grey went back to school

because. Hercules made sure he schooled far away.

Well, it was normal because their fathers were best friends. In fact, they were closer than the rest of the

elders.

Realization showed on Grey’s face. “You told me,” he remembered vividly now.

Charles looked at him and nodded slightly, as tears gathered in his eyes. “I did but I was confused. I

didn’t know what was going on in his mind.”

“I told you to give him the space he wanted,” Grey was amazed at how he suddenly remembered. Well,

Charles was right when he said they were very close when they were kids.

Charles nodded again. “So, I agreed to leave,” he paused slightly and sighed.

But you didn’t?” Grey was already in his story.

Charles sighed. “I left the car after my father left. I told the driver that I would be back but he should

leave. without me because my father still had to give me some things. I told him that he would either

find me a train or airplane to go on my own,” he explained. “So, he let me.”

Gray's heart almost stopped breathing ashe anticipated his next words.

So I had to stay hidden when I got home, thoughit was surprising that there was no one at home.

It turned out that my father left already.

When he returned, he was soaked with blood.

He had a gun with him and he was crying.

I could make out anything from all he wassaying because I was far away from him.

But I heard Rio and Gray.

He paused slightly and dragged his breath.

When I heard the news about and your father, I wentso raving mad at my father I didn't need to

confronthim before I realized he was the one that killed him.

Though I didn't know you could have survived.I thought I thought he broke down in tears.

I thought you were dead.

So I decided to take an act of quick revenge.

He snuck in a breath.

So while my father went to sleep,I snapped the petrol around him.

I locked the door and set the U houseon fire before rushing over to the airplane.

After making a flight, the elders couldn't talk.They were too shocked.

Gray was more shocked.

You killed your father because of me.

Charles turned to look at him.

Then he opened his mouth to say something.
