Williams narrowed his eyes at him and wondered if he knew the strange man but his face was not at all familiar to him. His eyes went wide when Alfred went to his knees. "Greetings, Hercules. It's my pleasure to see you and even talk to you," he smiled and finally stood up. Williams was still skeptical, unable to believe a thing. It was a wonder that Alfred was referring to him as a master but he found it difficult to believe Someone as rich as Alfred knows someone like him. Then, that brought him to the fact that something was really amiss Somewhere. There was something about his past that seemed to be connected to something very much Important. No one could explain to him how his life was before he was found by his sister at the orphanage. And he didn't remember anything as well. It still felt like there was a fog in his memory. "Where have you been?" Alfred was all smiles as he asked. "For twenty years, we've been searching, Finally, I found the successor of Hercules! Who would have thought I would find you, son?" He laughed. "You must be Hercules's son, did your father tell you about us before he died?" Williams blinked once, "I have a father? And he's dead?" Just as he was done talking, he saw a flash of an image. He saw an older man walking side by side with a boy whose features looked similar to Williams '. "Tell them, it's Hercules, "The man's thick voice frightened everyone in the room except the young man. Then he turned to look at him. "We are going to the party together, Williams." Then, he jerked out again, and the image was gone, and Williams was looking back at Alfred. It seemed like he was finally getting something out of his memory. Though, he wondered why it took so long. "What are you talking about?" Williams still had a skeptical look on his face and he wasn't really understanding it all. All he could remember was the Image and not entirely the whole lost page of his life. "No one has told you about Hercules? He's the best friend of the founder of our business empire Leo, we built a tremendous business empire, just to find you, the Hercules, our Big boss" Alfred raised a brow. "I, Leo, and your father." Williams stared back at him, and a realization hit him quickly that he had almost fallen. He could see more images suddenly and it seemed like his heart was racing as he went through some trances. Williams turned around and gripped the desk harder as he saw everything. Actually, something happened after his father and Leo had created the Mafia group. The enemies turned up one day and tried to eliminate them. Williams and his were on their way to the party when they showed up. It turned out actually they Leo actually betrayed his father. His father was killed right before him but he couldn't reach him because the car accident had thrown him over to the other side. He tried to crawl nearer and plead with Leo but his father was killed. One of the men also shot Williams. Williams opened his eyes with a gasp. His heart pounded madly in his heart and a sudden headache set in. He had been trying so hard to remember his life before he was found by his sister in the orphanage. But now that he has, he feels so terrible about it. And he only wanted to see Leo and ask him why he betrayed his father. He turned to Alfred immediately. Looking at Alfred now and he could remember the name of someone he knew so well, "Do you know one eye, Peter? Where is he?" Alfred's eyes went wide with shock for a moment. "Yes! You do remember?" He sighed and looked sober. "Peter was killed in the attack. We found your father's corpse, but we couldn't find you, and we have been searching for you since then." Williams closed his eyes for another Instantly, he dragged his breath. He felt so terrible." My father was killed, and I saw it." Alfred opened his mouth as shock took over him. " What? Where were you? I thought you didn't follow Hercules to the party since we couldn't find your body either. Actually," has eyes thinned and sadness mirrored it. "We thought you were dead." Williams furrowed his brows. " I was dead! Three bullets on my ribs and the cost! I was f*****g dead! " He yelled, angrily. He doesn't want to think about it but f**k! How else was he supposed to admit to you the fact that his father had been betrayed by one of his best friends? Alfred moved to his desk, unlocked it, And brought out a picture. He walked back to Williams and stretched it out. "This is the three friends: Leo, Sing, and me. Williams took the picture from him and stared down at the pictures. He recognized Alfred as he was still wearing the same face. His father was in the middle and then, there was Leo. Williams still remembered the grin on Leo's face as he shot his father in the head. He couldn't scream, he couldn't walk. The only thing he could do was yell in his head and cry out as the life was being sucked out of his father. "Something is wrong somewhere," he hinted and went to sit. He was still holding the picture and staring at it with such intensity that it betrayed his father. Why did he kill? The answer to these questions eluded him. Through, at that moment, he would like to snap Leo's head off his neck and avenge his father's death. "What happened?" Alfred moved nearer "Where have you been living all these years?" Williams looked up at him, with pain in his eyes, " I was living at the orphanage. I got out years later and started working hard to send myself to college." Alfred blinked once, " I must inform John about this. Everyone will be so happy to see you." Williams remembers something, "Who's John, and what's all this stuff about Hercules? I know it's my father's name but what's so special about it?" "Well, Leo, sing, and I built a business empire and a Mafia group with over 25,000 members from all over the world. And John is the son of Leo, who took over eleven years ago. Leo died while saving your father. He was burnt beyond recognition." Williams' eyes went wide with shock. Leo killed his father. He was trying to save him. What the f**k was happening? "But something is currently happening, and we are currently keeping a low profile. And it will be best if you do the same," Alfred hinted. Alfred continued. "If they knew you were Hercules, they would definitely come to kill you. You will have to face tons of killers and assassins. I know you're the best at fighting, but you can't protect yourself every minute." Williams looked up at him with confusion written all over him. "What can this problem be about?" "I think you will need to speak with John about it. Though I don't think you guys can see at this moment as he's being watched. It will only implicate you." Williams clenched his teeth. He didn't want to see John. He didn't want to speak with the traitor's son. "But why should I have to see John? And my father didn't tell me anything about the Mafia group. If he has one, he would let me in on it." Alfred signed. " Maybe he was just trying to protect you. And John is second in command to Hercules which is you." Williams closed his eyes as bitterness swam into him like bees. How could the son of the traitor be in his father's business? Also, why would John lie? Alfred stared at him for a moment before he moved to his desk, took out something, and wrote some letters on it. Then, he walked back to Williams and stretched it out. Williams opened his eyes, and he was shocked. What did he see!
