I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 31

Just then, a crack sounded at that moment! A bone-chilling snap was suddenly heard from Gordon's neck! It was the sound of his bones getting crushed!!

At that very moment, the whole office became so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was terribly horrified by the sight of Gordon’s snapped neck! He was crushed to death right in front of their eyes!

Every one of the business elites inside the office became petrified and started to tremble in fear after seeing what had happened. It was especially so for Benjamin as he passed out instantly!

Thud! Kingsley threw Gordon's dead body toward Alex and warned him coldly, "This is how you'll end up if you mess around with Reene!"

After getting struck by the dead body, Alex fell to the ground as he feared for his life with goosebumps running all over his body. He pushed the corpse away hastily while screaming with all he had, "Ahhhhhh! You murderer! You murdered him!!"

"Him? That was just a piece of garbage." Wow, that’s cold. With that, Kingsley left the place with Reene right away.

It took a distance away from Neveah Store for Reene to finally snap out of shock. "K-Kingsley, did you really kill him?"

As her body trembled, she started to look through her purse in a flurry and hushed. "Here, take all this money and run away as far as possible! If the cops find you, just say that I did it—I killed him!" While saying that, she stuffed all her credit cards into his hands. "Get out of Cleapolis and live a decent life!"

Kingsley was touched by his sister’s attempt of sacrifice, but what came out of him was laughter. He returned the credit cards to Reene and replied gently, "Reene, don't worry. We'll be fine."

"How will that be possible? You killed Gordon! The Wynn Family won’t let you get away with it for sure! They'll use every possible way to get you executed!" Reene's eyes started to redden in her anxiety. "It's alright, Kingsley. There's no need to be afraid. Take this money and hide somewhere incognito. I'll go to jail for you. I don't think the Wynn Family will make it too hard for me."

Kingsley took a step forward and hugged her trembling body to comfort herself. "Trust me, Reene. Everything will be fine."

Reene started to calm down in his wide and muscular embrace. "Really? Everything's gonna be okay? Please… don't be this reckless anymore…" While wiping the tears off her face, she continued, "Just let Serena do all the killing stuff…"

"Got it." Kingsley gently ran his finger through her fringe and tucked it behind her ears. "If things like this happen again, get hold of me immediately, okay?"

A helpless Reene sighed. "What’s there for you to do even if I—"

"How much more do you need?" he asked calmly. "I have money, so I can pay off the balance."

She shook her head and forced a bitter smile. "The deficit is too much… The Jacob Family has withdrawn the fund and canceled all business cooperation, leaving the operation of Neveah Store to come to a halt. If I was to pay off the deficit, I'll need at least a few million. But if I want to cover the loss

in the future, I'll probably need more than ten million in total…"

Kingsley teased her with a grin. "Just ten million? I can pay for it!"

"Don't joke with me. Even the Wynn Family would have a hard time taking out so much money at once." Reene sighed again. "I don't wish to get ten million at once, but I just hope to get a breather and a chance to help Neveah Store get through this hardship gradually. Unfortunately, out of all the investment companies in Cleapolis I’ve gone to, none of them is willing to help me, especially the Humming Group. They even tore my project proposal in front of me and had the security kick me out…" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kingsley's eyes instantly turned cold at once after hearing that. "Did they really kick you out physically?!"

Reene wore a mournful look and answered, "Yep, but it's just a slight kick. I’m alright."

"Well. Very well," he said with a cold tone. "I'll make the Humming Group pay that deficit, then." He actually wanted to use his own money to pay it off, but now, he wanted them to pay the price!

"Reene, why don’t you head back for a rest?" Kingsley tried to suppress his anger and said, "I'm going to the Humming Group now! Let’s see if they’d kick me out too!"

Shock took over Reene’s body as she immediately shouted, "Kingsley, you’re letting rage take over your head again! We can't afford to mess with the Humming Group!"

Just as Kingsley was about to open his mouth and rebut her, nothing came out of it. He swallowed the words he wanted to say, for he knew that she was worried about him. Instead, he tried to comfort her. "Okay, fine. I'll listen to you. I won't go to the Humming Group, but I'm going to find my comrade."

Reene finally calmed down and nodded in agreement. "Okay. Head home early then."

"Of course." As soon as she left, his face suddenly darkened; the next thing he knew, he was already driving straight to the Humming Group.

The Humming Group was the biggest investment company of Cleapolis and its president—Charlie Dean—had been at the top of the Cleapolis' Billionaires List for a few consecutive years; therefore, he was definitely filthy rich!

There was a reason why he refused to fund Reene, but it was not because of their fear toward the Jacob Family; he had just simply looked down on Neveah Store. He had numerous projects under his company that were comparably similar to Neveah Store, hence, he did not bother to earn that extra little money from Neveah.

As soon as Kingsley arrived at the Humming Group, he took the elevator and went straight to the top floor of the building, striding toward the president's office thereafter.

"Hey! Hey! Who are you?" A female secretary in a luxury suit walked up to him and asked him rudely, "Which department are you from? This area is exclusively for the president!"

A frowning Kingsley answered, "I'm representing the Neveah Store to meet Charlie Dean."

"Neveah Store?" She wore a contemptuous look after hearing his answer. "Why did they send another person here? The woman who came here previously was hit and kicked by the security; her shoes even fell off while running away! Are you guys coming back for more of that?"

As the secretary’s words sunk in, Kingsley's eyes reddened instantly. With coldness radiating from his body, he asked, "Which woman, exactly?"

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's the goddess entrepreneur of Cleapolis—Reene Wynn!" She crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered. "But, too bad. There's no way she can get more support anymore. She's completely ruined this time round!"

Kingsley clenched his fist and snapped, "Did you guys really hit her?!"

"Yeah, we did! So what?" The secretary displayed an indifferent attitude. "She kept begging and asking our president to invest in the Neveah Store. Of course, the president was annoyed and called the security on her to kick her out. I can't imagine how embarrassing it is for the president of a department store to get kicked in the butt and even fall under the glare of everyone!"

"F*ck off!" Kingsley pushed her away and strode into Charlie's office right away.

The female secretary staggered after being pushed away, but almost immediately, she trotted in her heels to chase after him. "Stop there! The president is in a meeting with a VIP! You can't go in now!"

As soon as she said that, she saw him land a kick onto the glass door of the president's office! Crack… The glamorous glass door broke into pieces all over the ground.
