Chapter 279: Preparation

Grey looked down at his men from a corner. Even though they were worried about the fact that some of their men might pull back at the news, the turn-up was still massive. Hercules has a lot of men and Gregory got the right ship for it.

Grey's eyes searched around quickly for Caramel as if he would see her amid the crowds.

The ship has taken off already and Grey knew that she would be inside somewhere. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing by letting her in but he sure knew that he would lose her if he didn't. And well, Caramel might eventually find it out and the funniest part is that it might be clear to Alex sooner than later who he was.

And he wouldn't be able to harm Caramel. He wouldn't! There was no way he would order something like that.

Gregory walked closer to him. "Boss! We are far from the shore already. I think we should start whatever you plan," he informed.

Grey let out a sigh and looked at him. "Gather the elders, I'm coming out soon," he ordered.

Gregory nodded briefly and walked away.

Grey entered the dressing room.

The door opened almost immediately and Aphrodite stepped inside. Grey eyes went wide with surprise.
