I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 76

As Kingsley looked at the kneeling Daniel, who admitted to his mistakes, his gaze turned even colder.

"Do you not know your place?! Did your supervisor educate you to be such a useless coward?!"

"I…"

Daniel couldn't help but shiver. It suddenly dawned on him that he was now the vice president of Coliree Group, and his actions represented Coliree Group. Besides that, he was also an elite soldier of Coliree Island.

I'm supposed to be a warrior! A soldier! How could I have kneeled in public?

"Yes, sir! I know my wrongdoings." Then, Daniel quickly got up and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nicholson."

With a serious look, Kingsley announced, "I'm not the one you should be sorry to. It's everyone else!"

As he said that, he pointed at Jay and Richard. "How could you hire these two clowns for the company? Are you trying to ruin Coliree Group?"

The others might not understand the meaning behind Kingsley's accusations, but Daniel could.

There were hundreds of elite soldiers in Coliree Group, and every one of them was in a raging battle of wits with other spies outside the company. If someone Daniel hired were to sabotage their spy- exterminating mission, how would he be able to face those warriors who were risking their lives for the mission?

How would he be able to face the citizens of Qustia if their enemies infiltrated the country because of his mistakes?!

"I understand what you mean, sir."

Afterward, Daniel approached the unconscious Richard and kicked him while growling, "Get up! I know you're awake."

"Vice President Robinson…"

As Richard slowly opened his eyes, his teeth were chattering in fear. Previously, he had fainted due to shock but quickly regained consciousness after falling to the ground.

However, he knew it wouldn't end well for him today, so he closed his eyes and pretended that he was still unconscious. Daniel's words at that moment made him lose the desire to pretend anymore, so he shakingly rose to his feet.

"You better tell the truth about what happened!" Daniel gritted his teeth.

"I-I saw this person getting out of a cheap car, so I wanted to chase him away…."

Looking at Daniel's gradually darkened face, Richard felt warmth between his legs…

He had peed his pants in shock!

When Daniel heard Richard's explanation, he couldn't help but want to skin Richard alive! Richard had the guts to chase Ares away. It was a suicidal act!

Plop! After falling to his knees, Richard's posture still remained straight. "Vice President Richardson, I know what I did wrong. It was all my fault. I am guilty, but please spare me this once!"

"The one you should be begging is not me!" Daniel put some sense back into him by yelling.

Immediately, Richard understood Daniel's words and approached Kingsley on his knees. Then, he begged while groveling, "Sir, please be gracious and spare me once…."

"Didn't you just say I'm trash?" Kingsley sneered without any mercy.

"I'm trash! I'm the one who's trash! You can treat me like a nobody …."

As his eyes narrowed, Kingsley asked, "Do you know what you did wrong?"

"I know. I know." Richard nodded repeatedly. "I shouldn't have driven you to the side entrance. I shouldn't have insulted you. I promise I will never do that again! Never again!"

"That wasn't what you did wrong, can't you see?" Kingsley couldn't hold back telling the man off. "You judged a book by its cover! Those who drive luxurious cars and are wealthy have your respect, while ordinary people who drive average cars can't even enter from the main entrance? What rule is that, and who made it?!"

Every word Kingsley said was loud and clear!

"N-Now, I understand! I won't be a stuck-up snob no more!" Richard's face was drenched with tears as he cried, "Please don't fire me… I have parents and children to feed. What would I do if I lost this job…."

He was over forty this year and didn't have any skills that made him stand out.

Ever since he left the factory, he had been doing labor-intensive jobs. Now that he finally had an honorable job of being the security guard of Coliree Group, he was reluctant to get fired in such a way.

There was no way he would let himself return to how he was after just a few days of getting his job. Who knew how many sarcastic remarks would await him if he were fired?

"Please, I beg you… Please don't fire me…"

The more Richard thought about it, the more terrified he was. Even his forehead was bloody from all his groveling!

Looking down at Richard, Kingsley slightly sighed. "If I see you acting snobbish again, I'll fire you immediately!"

"Yes, of course… Thank you, sir. Thank you so much…"

Once Richard knew he still had his job, he ignored his bloody forehead and bowed several times more at Kingsley.

Meanwhile, Kingsley ignored Richard and set his eyes on the trembling Jay. "Young Master Jay, how

about we talk about your problem now?"

Although Kingsley spoke with a calm tone, once his voice entered Jay's ears, it was like an emergency bell!

All he could hear was a loud buzzing in his mind as if the sky was falling! Being the eldest young master of the Carter Family, the responsibility on his shoulders was no smaller than Richard's.

Richard's responsibility was to provide for his family and not embarrass himself in front of his friends and relatives. Jay's responsibility was to continue the Carter Family's honor!

Moreover, Jay had several siblings born to different mothers who were all watching his every move.

Any tiny mistake would make those people pounce on him like hungry wolves, wanting to steal a piece of the shareable cake, which was the Carter Family inheritance!

As Jay thought of that, his lips started to tremble while he pleaded with Kingsley. " Mr. Nicholson, I–"

Before Jay could beg him, Kingsley raised his hand and interrupted, "There's a lot of people here. Let's head inside to discuss your matters."

"Yes…" There was a trace of gratitude in Jay's eyes.

There were so many bystanders looking at them, so whether he was fired or criticized, it would tarnish the Carter Family's name. By then, his relatives would start a wave of opposition against him.

Thus, Kingsley's action was the same as saving his life!

With Daniel in the lead, the three arrived at Coliree Group's second building and into Daniel's office.

Kingsley then sat on Daniel's chair and said, "Now, let's have a good chat." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

There wasn't anyone else in the room, so Jay plopped onto his knees and stammered, "M-Mr. Nicholson, I was overly ignorant. May I ask who—"

Once Jay got to that, he suddenly stopped talking. Until that very moment, he still didn't know about Kingsley's identity!

He could tell from Daniel's attitude that the man before them was not someone he could afford to offend!

After that, Kingsley calmly looked at Daniel without speaking a word.

Daniel caught his meaning and took a step forward to say, "You have no right to know who he is!"
