Chapter 280: Shocked is an understatement

Grey walked to a raised podium. The room was seething with Hercules'men while the elders were already waiting for Grey at the raised podium.

Grey moved closer to them. He was wearing a blue suit and a black mask. And he was followed by Aphrodite.

He hesitated in front of the crowd as they went silent in anticipation.

"Is Hercules truly dead?" Someone asked suddenly, from the audience.

There were a few minutes of dead silence as everyone thought over the question. It was palpably clear that they believed the news.

"It doesn't matter if he is. I will always be for Hercules!" Someone said suddenly, with a raised hand.

"Yes, me too!" Another person joined in and soon, they were all saying the same thing.

"I spread the news," Grey started suddenly. "About my death! " He added quickly.

The look on each man changed briefly at the announcement.

"Does this mean Hercules lives and you are the Hercules?" Another man demanded.

Grey didn't respond. Instead, Charles stepped out. "Here's the ring that belongs to the previous Hercules, his father," he stretched out and it soon appeared large on the screen behind them.
