Chapter 10: claiming the position
was fast but well, Grey had trained to be faster than the lion. He knew how much he spent to be the best. Though, at that time, he didn’t know exactly why his father wanted him to train. Grey took two steps closer and watched him for another moment. He went on his stance, with one foot space between his legs, while his eyes were moving with Gregory’s movement. Gregory punched the air again and then turned towards Grey quickly, catching him unaware but he knew his every move before he started. Grey dodged quickly, only missing Gregory’s punch with only a hair breadth. Gregory launched another punch at his stomach but Grey made a quick curve and punched Gregory on his shoulders instead. Gregory got pushed away but he soon regained his stance and advanced toward Grey again. “You should give up Gregory!” Alfred yelled happily. And at that moment, Grey decided to end the fight once and for all. Gregory launched an uppercut attack at Grey but he dodged it and turned clockwise quickly towards Gregory’s back.

You ruined my life, remember?” And the line went off. “Is anything wrong?” Gregory questioned as he walked out of the ring. “Yes, new trouble Gregory raised skeptical brows at him. “Trouble? Who dares disturb Hercules?” Alfred laughed. “Now, you are acting too forward. Have you forgotten that Hercules is going undercover?” Gregory threw him a glance. ” Now that Hercules is back, we will be off the hook soon.” “Yes,” Grey came in. ” But I would like to keep a clean identity until the coast is clear. Though, I will need someone to hint me on the current of things.” ” Charles is in the best position to do that but he’s out of the city currently,” Alfred complained.
