Chapter 400: Jubilation
Seth grunted several times as he thought about the days leading to his first escape from Jacksonville the first time.He had stood up against Grey then when it all happened and now it was happening again.
If Grey wasn't Hercules, could he be close to him? Seth had questions but the answers eluded him.
How could he even lose to Grey? Well, it was his fault.He was the one that took Smith in.
If he hadn't, the nightmare wouldn't have happened.His phone rang suddenly, disrupting his thoughts.He jerked backward as a headache suddenly set in.He dragged his feet towards the phone and glanced at the screen.
It was Smith.
A grunt escaped him as he turned away, anger still buming in him.He would never be able to forgive Smith for making him lose so much.
Seth hasn't stepped out of his house since he received the message that informed him that the police were already looking for him.
He hadn't even thought of what to do.He needed to think of the loan he had taken, he needed to pay the bank or he would suffer seriously for it.His phone stopped ringing, only for it to start ringing again.
Seth felt a surge of anger as he angrily strode towards the phone and picked it up.
''What do you want now?"
He yelled in a deep voice, anger seeping through his voice.
If he was supposed to act according to his anger and not even reason the fact that he and Smith used to share a closer bond, he would have got some thugs to deal with him for misleading him.
Seth still believed it was because he attacked Grey's office that Maria changed her mind about giving him the order.
"wait, calm down, Seth," Smith's voice was soft.
Well, he also had a cause to be angry but not at Seth but at Grey.He had a list already of all he wanted to use the four million dollars for.But suddenly, it was gone because of Grey.
"Don't tell me to calm down, Smith.You seriously don't know the situation I am in."
"Well, we both took loans from banks.I don't think it would affect you more than it would affect me." Seth's eyes darkened.
"Why aren't you talking about the break-in? I'm the only one the police are looking for." Smith released a sigh.
"Just hear me out, Seth.I'm sure you don't know about this piece of information.If you do, you wouldn't even be talking like this." Seth reasoned it for a moment. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
"What is it about?"
There must be a reason why he called him actually and well, he hasn't been out of his house.
"Grey is dead!"
Smith announced suddenly.Seth blinked once, then twice.
"What? That's not possible.I mean I saw him days back.What killed him? How did he die?" He bombarded him.
"Well, he is dead and I will tell you how he did but I just want you to calm down." Seth responded and moved to sit.He was a lot calmer now and at the same time, anxious.
"How did Grey die?" He demanded again.
"His car exploded and he was burnt beyond recognition.In fact, he died before he could make it to the hospital.It's all over the internet," he explained.
Seth blinked once, then twice, still finding it difficult to believe.
"Are you sure about all this?"
"I am, I can't be joking about this obviously. If you are still doubting me, you can step out and get a magazine. Or you could stroll through the tv channel. I'm sure you will find a channel still talking about it," he explained further.
"Alright, thanks. I will check it out but it doesn't take back the order that you've made me lose!" Seth fired at him.
Smith sighed once.
"You still don't see what I'm trying to say? You are still not seeing the big picture, Seth!" Seth blinked once.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that Maria will be taking back the order from him. The dead can't be trusted with that huge amount of money. We will be the ones to get it now. The order belongs to you!" He uttered.
Seth's eyes brightened up.
"You are right," he laughed.
"Absolutely! I didn't think of it like that.Oh, this is really good!" He was overjoyed.
"I told you," Smith laughed as well.
"I think you should go over there tomorrow. I'm sure the news would have reached them today and they would have made a new decision by tomorrow morning."
"You are right, Smith!" Seth raised.
"And we are going there together. So, get ready."
"That's the spirit, man! This order is finally ours."
Smith repeated in an easy tone that seemed to release happy adrenaline in Seth "Yes!""
Seth laughed out loud.
"Let's meet tonight at the club to celebrate Grey's death.We are having a lot of drinks!" He whooped with delight.
"Yes!" Smith laughed.
He was so happy that everything was finally falling into place.
Giovanni looked up for a moment, at one of the men that were standing in front of him.
"Send a message to the godfather, to Jamal, and let him know that there has to be an emergency meeting soon. He could choose any comfortable day for him but he should make it sooner," he explained.
The man hesitated.
"What if he doesn't respond well?"
"Tell him it's about Grey and we might have to go live on social media if he wouldn't even grant a meeting soon"
The man bowed slightly and walked out.
Giovanni thought about it quickly. He needed to be the billionaire boss as fast as possible.
Well, nothing would delay him now that Grey was dead but he could receive opposition. So, he had to be prepared for that. He didn't want the members of the billionaire club to find themselves another billionaire boss. He looked at the second man in the room.
"You have something to do for me.You won't be able to do it alone actually.So, you can take someone with you." The man bowed slightly.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Send a message to some of the billionaire members that there will be a meeting at my house tonight, a secret one."
