I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 57

Seeing the soldiers close the door at the Summers Residence's exit, Randy and the others went from heaven on earth to hell on earth almost instantly. In the next second, bullets and cannons were fired from all directions at Summers Residence, along with the rain of firing rounds from the jets above the building. In a matter of seconds, the building went up in flames just as the bombardment boomed the surroundings and slowly reduced the structure to ashes.

In the meantime, Kingsley's eyes lit up when he watched the burning flames that were engulfing the Summers Residence. After all, the Nicholson Family met its end when it was burned down in flames 17 years ago. Therefore, to Kingsley, the flames that were burning the Summers Residence had just marked the rebirth of the Nicholson Family. Nevertheless, Hades walked up to him and politely expressed his worry. "Ares, I'm afraid we can never cover up what happened today, considering how it turned out. For that, you might…"

Knowing what Hades' concern was about, Kingsley replied, "Tell the public that—the Summers Family's downfall was because they committed treason, which was unforgivable. Mention nothing about the Nicholson Family."

"Understood, Ares! I'll have our men spread the word around as you wish."

While the soldiers were retreating after that, the bombardment caused turmoil among the bystanders who were watching from far away and wondering what was going on. Therefore, Hades could see why Kingsley wanted him to spread the word as soon as possible because that was the only way to stop any untrue rumors from being disseminated. Meanwhile, Kingsley stood with his hands right behind his back, staring at the debris on fire. "Now that this has been taken care of, it's time for me to visit Mount Rochwick to find my parents' remains."

The next day, Kingsley made a trip to Mount Rochwick, which was a famous place crowded with tourists in Cleapolis. When Kingsley arrived, he was greeted by Leroy, who had been waiting for him. As soon as they saw each other, Kingsley patted his friend's shoulder and asked, "So, how are you lately? Have you been managing your job well under Daniel?"


Leroy scratched his head and answered, "Vice President Robinson has been rather nice to me. So, I guess I'm lucky to work for Coliree Group because it's definitely better than working as a security guard back at the model agency company."

"I'd like to build a cemetery for the Nicholson Family, and I want to put you in charge. What do you say? Do you think you can handle it?" Kingsley asked. After getting rid of the Summers Family, he wanted to build a cemetery on the land on which the Nicholson Manor was built to honor his late parents. Nonetheless, he didn't want his identity as Ares to be associated with the Nicholson Family, so he decided to let Leroy take care of the matter by acquiring the land as a mysterious buyer who would later build Nicholson Family Cemetery.

"Of course!" Leroy reacted with an excited expression on his face. "This is my first mission after joining Coliree Group! I swear I'll do my best to complete it successfully."

"Good." Kingsley smiled. "But there is something I want you to know—I'm in a very sensitive position after everything that happened, so you will not make yourself known as a part of Coliree Group. Instead, you'll be known as my assistant, Mr. Johnson. Is that understood?"

Leroy took a second to ponder before he caught on to Kingsley's intention. "Wait a second. Are you trying to dissociate Nicholson Family Cemetery from Coliree Group?"

"Exactly." Kingsley nodded. In fact, he wanted to make sure the lines were clearly drawn between the military, Coliree Group, and the Nicholson Family so that they didn't appear to be interrelated. Otherwise, he could risk exposing his identity to his enemies and making himself a sitting duck.

"Alright, I get you!" Leroy added, "I'm your assistant from now on and have nothing to do with Coliree Group, boss."

Kingsley patted his shoulder and replied, "Good. Let's go now. We need to meet up with the person in charge of Mount Rochwick."

Meanwhile, Jerrick Kidman, the manager of Mount Rochwick's tourism department, was busy with his online dating ventures in his office, putting both of his feet on the desk. Suddenly, he was annoyed by a knock on the door and put down his phone in frustration. "Who is there?"

Leroy pushed the door open and greeted the manager. "You must be Mr. Kidman, the manager of the tourism department at Mount Rochwick, right? I have a proposition I'd like to offer you."
