Chapter 277: Makai – Celebrating Part 2

Makai

~~

The thirteen of us sat in the private room with Mr. Gray. Ocean, Ben, Ryan and myself were the ones that sat closest to our benefactor for this night. Right beside him was actually Ocean, who kept checking to make sure that he wasn't making a fool of himself. I assured him time and time again that he was fine and that he had nothing to worry about.

"So, Mr. Gray, I hope this isn't an intrusive question, but may I ask, uhm..-" I trailed off, not truly wanting to ask the question since I didn't want to upset him at all, but I was so damn curious that I couldn't help it either.

"You're wondering what I am?" He whispered back so that only Ocean, Ben, Ryan and me could hear him.

"Well, yeah." He turned to look at Ben and Ryan before looking back at me.

"I will admit that I am reluctant to answer that question in the present company."
