I Am the Ruler of All

"What's your rank?" Elijah asked while crossing his arms in front of his chest. "I won't believe you with only your words. Show me your military uniform with the epaulet!"

"My military uniform is guarded by people assigned from the Secret Service of Military Headquarters, and I only wear it on special occasions."

As Kingsley said that, Ysabel sneered aloud. "Pfft, you're really good at boasting! I've never heard about a military uniform needing to be guarded. Well, unless it's encrusted with gold, of course."

With a nod, he answered affirmatively, "Indeed. Not only that, the star emblem on my military hat is encrusted with the highest grade of Kohinoor Diamond."

"Hahaha!" His answer got Ysabel roaring with laughter. "Are you really talking about the Kohinoor Diamond? There are only three of them in this whole world, and you're saying that one of them is on your hat?!"

"Enough!" Elijah showed impatience in his expression. "I don't want to hear this b*stard talking crap anymore! Transfer the five million to my bank account right now, Reene. Otherwise, I won't move an inch from here!" As he said that, he pulled Ysabel to sit with him on the couch, and their rogue-looking expressions showed their determination to get what they wanted.

Kingsley was tired of explaining further to them, so he simply said, "Give me your bank account number."

Contemptuously, Elijah looked up and said, "70128975…" After he told him the numbers, he smiled sardonically before saying, "If you can get me the five million, you prick, I'll chop my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"

"Remember what you've said!" Kingsley took out his phone and started performing the transaction.

After a few moments, he lifted his head and looked at Elijah coldly. "Don't forget what you said; if I can get you the five million, your head will be mine!"

Just then, Elijah received a message. At first, he thought it was just some spam advertisement, so he simply took a glance. However, when he looked closer, he was so shocked that his eyes popped out!

The message stated, 'Your bank account ending 1027 has received a transaction amount of 5,000,000 on June 23. Your balance after the transaction is 5,205,000. Solaris Bank.'

The five million had been transferred!

He gasped in shock. "Y-You really have five million in your account?!" It was totally beyond his expectations that an orphan in his twenties could take out such a huge amount of money!

When Ysabel strained her neck to see the message on the phone, she became stunned as well. However, almost immediately, she put her hands on her waist and scolded Reene, "You ungrateful b*tch! Did you take all the money from the company for this guy?! I was wondering why Neveah Department Store was going bankrupt all of a sudden. It seems like you're the one playing tricks!"

Elijah caught what she said immediately and chimed in, "F*ck! Given all these years that we've raised you, you're still so ungrateful! I can't believe that you gave all the money to this prick, but not to the ones who raised you!"

As he was scolding her, a wicked idea formed in his mind. "You have embezzled quite a lot of the company's funds, right? Give them all to me! Otherwise, I'll let everyone in the family know about this!" Since Clarence's company, the Clark Corporation, was going to take over Neveah Department Store, he planned to get whatever he could now.

Reene started to tremble in fury. "I didn't! I've never taken a penny from the company's funds for myself! In fact, it was the Wynns who embezzled the funds, bringing difficulties to the company's development!"

"You're not willing to give us the money, eh?" Elijah reached out his hand and pointed at her, saying, "You've taken so much for yourself, but you aren't willing to give us anything?"

"I've never taken anything! What do you want from me?!" Reene was on the verge of breaking down.

"You're such an ungrateful b*tch!" Elijah put on a devilish look. "Just wait until the day after tomorrow when you hand over Neveah Department Store! I'll get them to check the company's account on the spot! If I find out that you took even a penny from the Wynns, you can be prepared to go to prison!"

After all, Reene would be of no use once Clarence's family took over Neveah Department Store. Since he couldn't get his money, he would just make things ugly! With that, he slammed the door and left after threatening her.

While she looked at the closed door, Reene lowered her body gradually and hugged her knees before she started sobbing. She had always considered them her family and always felt thankful and grateful toward them.

Despite how they manipulated her, she had never uttered a word of complaint. Sadly, even after all those years of selfless devotion, she didn't expect them to treat her like this in the end.

Just then, Kingsley bent down, carried her in his arms, and put her down on the couch gently.

With her blushing face, Reene tidied up her messy nightwear and wiped her tears before asking, "Kingsley, where did all that money come from? If it's from the loan sharks, I'll figure out a way to pay it off." Even when she was in despair, Kingsley was still the first person she worried about.
