The planners
"But, boss you know what happens if we launch god's eyes now. Too many people are waiting for it." Maxwell asked with worry.
"After what happened to me this few days, it's better to be safe than sorry. I know what you mean but you just have to launch the god's eyes using the labyrinth database. As nobody else has its access codes."Grey assures Maxwell.
"Oh another thing,I want you to call old ghost and tell him I'm not feeling well. Tell him that I'm still in a comma and your flying me to the property in Dover tonight." Grey meticulously planned ahead.
"As you wish boss, it will be done in five minutes atmost. And I brought four men from dark Webb to help out with security."Maxwell replied while typing on a black laptop.
"Don't worry,they are here to mask your identity. This makes it more realistic to the people out there, theirs copper ranks make it almost normal to hire." Maxwell patiently explained.
A few minutes later Grey emerges from the bathroom wearing his usual black outfit. Black button down long sleeved shirt half buttoned, black tailor made chinos and black loafers. A limited edition silver black Patek Philippe Coutinho watch on his right hand.
His grey-white hair still wet,water droplets trickle down his face. His eyes red in colour giving out mysterious vibe.
"Hey boss, everything is done the way you wanted It's all over the UK now."Maxwell tell Grey handing him a laptop showing a video clip of the latest news.
"That is good,now it's time for me to focus on the Howard family. I want all the details on the Howard family before we leave here tonight."Grey said lightly.
"As you wish boss,I already set the task to black spider he is handling it as we speak." Max lazily answered while sipping red wine. "And boss I was told that seventeen silver ranked mercenaries were hired the last ten minutes."
"So let me guess, it was two minutes after the news of me being in a comma was released. That's fast, and now text old ghost and the rest of your next destination with a ten minutes interval. Starting from old ghost to wind, remember to monitor the movement of the assassins." Grey slowly answered while looking at the laptop.
Maxwell get to work immediately making calls at the given time intervals. Soon everyone from old ghost, scorpion, muscles, small guy,sting,fang,wind, snow and ice respectively.
Then before saying anything Jade comes in with an angry face, clearly Maxwell was in deep trouble.
"Maxwell we need to talk right now, so please step out this minute!!!" Jade coldly stated. This behavior somehow annoyed Grey,but because she was Maxwell's girl he let it slide.
Maxwell's sharp observation noticed the slight chance in Grey's facial expression, so without saying a word he handed Grey his phone and walked out.
-----------------
"Jade, let this be the last time you raise your voice when boss is around." Maxwell angrily stated. Jade was shocked by Maxwell's sharp tone,"What! why should I?huh! who the hell is he and who are you to tell me what and what not to do?" Jade retorted immediately.
"Tiffany Yang, don't you dare disrespect him, you can't afford the price of your insolence okay?" Maxwell berated heavily. Jade was shell shocked by Maxwell's behavior. It has been years since Maxwell called her using her real name.
"Okay,I will if you tell me about the girl he was talking about." Jade slowly answered, because she somehow knew about the first person in Maxwell's mind will always be his boss.
"Ughh okay, wait a minute I will be back."Maxwell said running back to the room,few seconds later he returned with his phone. Then he shows her a live feed from his home in Philadelphia. An old lady wearing a maids clothes is in the kitchen area cooking.
"Dear wife, this is Gloria Steinem my personal assistant and also head chef of my house." Maxwell happily answered with a gleeful smile.
"You.....who is your wife, I'm,we, aiha I'm your friend nothing else!!!" Jade stuttered looking at the men at the door.
One of the men had a silly smile on his face,this made her even more embarrassed. Her face red as an apple she tightly hugged Max burying her face on his broad chest.
"Well it's fine, because at least I have a title now so it's not bad at all hehehehe" Maxwell shamelessly declared."shameless " jade cursed under her breath as she wished for the world to crack and swallow her from shame.
---------------------
One and a half hour earlier,in the intercontinental hotel's presidential suite in Paris France, Brighton who is breathing ruggedly from an intense exercise with Ariana Hall,receive wonderful news from the UK.
Johnson Grey is in a comma and will be unconscious for a while. His secretary also confirms the claims that Johnson Grey has a severe brain tumor.
"Well my lovely scientist time to wake up,I have good news for you."Brighton lightly shook Ariana Hall. "Hmmm babe please let me sleep for while I'm really drained please?"Ariana replied with a tired sleepy voice.
"What a lazy perverted lady I have, I was trying to say that Johnson Grey is almost dead" Brighton talk while poking her sleepy face.
Ariana immediately open her eyes,she sat upright the next second and looked Brighton straight in the eyes. All the sleepy face is nowhere to be seen,"what do you mean by that?huh!"Ariana questioned quickly.
" Ohh someone is worried here, that makes me feel sad you know ."Brighton continued teasing her. "Come on Brighton, can't you be serious this once please?"Ariana berated him.
"Ok, remember I told you that Grey weakling passed out a few hours ago. He was then examined and later found to be having a big brain tumor a few hours ago." Brighton happily informed Ariana. This whole time Ariana didn't bulge or make any sound.
"It's a chance from heaven, all his properties will be mine because on his crew apart from you and Fisher. No one knows about the truth about my grandma. " Brighton declared righteously.
"What are you saying, all these years Grey has pulled through everything thrown in his way. How sure are you of his demise Brighton?" Ariana doubtfully asked.
"Come on my innocent scientist, it's really simple at this stage. We should just wait for him to be transferred,and *making a killing gesture* make an accident happen." Brighton evily smiled.
