I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 22

As they entered the Summers Residence, Kingsley's expression was cold as he looked at the lavishly decorated mansion. This was supposed to be his house, after all!

The Summers Family occupied their house and were currently living comfortably, whereas his parents had been beheaded and killed in the fire. Until today, their remains were undiscovered. Such stark differences made him loathe the Summers Family to the core.

Noticing his expression, Gavin looked at him with an elusive expression and asked, "My friend, I haven't gotten your name yet."

Kingsley Nicholson."

"Nicholson?! Is Xavier Nicholson your father?" As soon as Gavin heard Kingsley's name, he was surprised.

"How did you know?" Kingsley was shocked to hear his father's name being mentioned by someone else after seventeen years!

Gavin was really emotional as he gushed, "I knew it! His son is still alive!"

Kingsley immediately raised his guard. He then looked at him and questioned, "Why do you know my father's name? Who are you?"

"My name is Gavin Tanner, and I'm your father's friend."

"You're from the Tanner Family?"


"That's right. The head of the Tanner Family is my father."

When Gavin sensed Kingsley's skepticism, he sighed and continued, "Why would the heir to the Tanner Family come to Cleapolis just to discuss business with the mere Summers Family?"

"Did you come because of my father?" Kingsley seemed to guess his motive.

"That's right. I was abroad when Xavier and your mother passed on, and by the time I came back to Cleapolis to look for them, this place had already become Summers Residence."

Gavin continued, "Although I could've used the Tanner Family's authority to get rid of the Summers Family, I had to find out the truth about Xavier's death. That's why I'm using the business discussion as a reason to come here and investigate the truth behind the fire."

Although Kingsley looked calm, he was touched by Gavin's words. He was glad that there was actually someone in this world who wanted to avenge his father's death!

"Kingsley, my father will be coming to Tanner Mansion in Cleapolis soon. I'll bring you along to meet him when he comes, for he will be a great help to you in the future."

"You want me to meet the head of the Tanner Family?" Kingsley was surprised when he heard that. Within the Northern District, Henrich Turner's status was described as the underworld king since no one had ever gotten a glimpse of him even if they went through great lengths to do so.

"What did my father do? What is his relationship with the Tanner Family?" Kingsley frowned as he asked. It was unusual that Gavin would treat him that well, so perhaps his father had an unusual identity that he didn't know of!

"Your father… was an outstanding man. For your safety, there are some things that you shouldn't know," Gavin responded hesitantly. He then patted Kingsley's shoulder and said,

"Let's go. The banquet is about to start."

Since Gavin was reluctant to tell him the truth, Kingsley decided to stop probing. He believed that he would be able to dig out the truth sooner or later using his identity as Ares, after all!

The Summers Mansion banquet hall was crowded with people of high society that looked dapper in their luxurious attire. Kingsley looked out of place in his casual clothes, but no one dared to tell him off as he was sitting next to Gavin. They simply looked at him with disdain as they felt that it was an insult to them to be sitting at the same table as him.

Shortly after, Randy walked up the main stage gleefully and announced, "Thank you all for attending my birthday banquet. Please forgive me if there's any inconvenience caused."

Everyone in the hall responded, "It's our honor to be invited to your fiftieth birthday banquet…"

Kingsley merely smirked and judged Randy for having a grand birthday banquet even though he was just fifty years old as if he was worried that Death would forget about him.
