I Am the Ruler of All

Kingsley received no answer, and he smiled. He told the juggernauts, "Stand up, all of you. I'll consider your request."

The juggernauts buzzed with excitement and slowly got back up.

Seth finally broke down. He staggered backward and shook his head in disbelief. "I-Impossible! You're just a public hospital doctor. There's no way you have anything to teach these people. This must be a mistake. A big mistake!" He held Tristan and roared, "Say something, sir! You must have an idea how to deal with this!"

Tristan looked like he just saw the most disgusting thing on earth. He flung Seth's hand away and gnashed his teeth. "What else can I do? I can't go against the whole ancient healing industry, nor can I make an enemy out of Old Master Todd's student."

"But…" Seth refused to back down. "But he hit me! You can let it slide just like that! You're my teacher and future father-in-law. You have to help me!"

Tristan looked a bit better after Seth called him his future father-in-law.

Just then, Kingsley snickered. "He's your father-in-law? And I thought you were single. You almost tried to sleep with Alice!"

"Shut up! That's a lie!" Seth felt a chill run down his spine. He stammered, "T-That's a lie, sir. I didn't do any of that." Seth felt his legs buckle.

He only got this far mostly because of Tristan's ugly daughter. Tristan was already getting on in age when she was born, so he spoiled her rotten. He was only willing to help Seth out in his career because Seth cared about his daughter, at least that was what he thought. Seth stared at Tristan in horror, his back drenched in sweat. If he finds out that I tried to sleep with someone else behind his fat daughter's back, I'll be done for! "I-I didn't do that, sir. I swear I'm loyal to Jane. I would never cheat on her."

Just then, someone from the crowd said, "Bullsh*t, Seth! You went to P!nkstar two days ago to hook up with a model. And you told me your girlfriend is a fat, ugly sow! You said you'd dump her after Professor Zinkleigh is dead and use his reputation to climb the ladder." The guy who said that was the one who helped Seth earlier. He could see the change in the situation, so he exposed Seth's doings just in case Kingsley came to confront him later.

"H-How could you say that about Jane?" Tristan knew the man. He was good friends with Seth, so there was no way he would lie. Tristan felt the world spin. Jane was his only daughter, and he raised Seth like his own so he would treat his daughter well. However, he didn't expect Seth to be so evil and ungrateful. Tristan coughed violently, and his face was as white as a tombstone.
