I Am the Ruler of All

"Got it." Kingsley muttered.

He knew that Alice prepared the scalpel in case Beau suddenly broke into her room.

Even so, Kingsley couldn't help feeling a chill run through his lower body.

He had thought that Alice had become gentler, but it turned out that she was exactly the same as when she was a child.

Not brave enough to climb into bed again, Kingsley could only settle with the sofa for one night.

Fortunately, this four-star hotel in Jadeland Heights lived up to its name. Even their sofa felt comfortable to sleep on.

His body didn't ache when he woke up the next morning.

Alice had woken up earlier than him, and had already finished washing up and putting on her makeup. She was out of her pajamas and in formal clothes.

"You should probably change your formal clothes, Alice." Kingsley stood up from the sofa. "This morning's meeting might be postponed to the afternoon."

"Postponed until the afternoon? Why?"

"I have two people I need to take care of."

She pulled her eyebrows together when she heard his words."Are you talking about Zayne and Beau? Weren't they already punished?"

"It is far from enough." His eyes were cold and he said solemnly, "They will have to pay in blood for targeting you. Moreover, I want every higher-up in the medical industry in Cleapolis to know that you, Alice Kramer, is someone they can't afford to provoke! That is the only way we can spare all later trouble by doing that!"

Her beautiful face suddenly turned pale. "Kingsley, a-are you going to have them killed in public? Isn't that too cruel…"

"Alice, do you know who I learned about deterrence from?" he asked with the corner of his lips lifted.

"Who?"

"Victoria." He continued with a smile. "I heard from one of Victoria's minions that someone kept harassing her back when she was in the underworld. She picked a few of them, chopped off their ding-a-lings, and hung them at the gate of Jeanne D'Arc for 3 days! Barely anyone ever attempted to try anything with her ever since!"

"Don't you know what a ruthless lunatic Victoria is?" Alice scolded helplessly, "Why don't you ever learn some good things?!"

Kingsley let out a laugh at that. "Learn some good things, huh? Things like threatening people with a scalpel?"

Without waiting for her to say anything, he lightly put his hands on her shoulders and stated, "Alice, I will settle the scores with Zayne and Beau today. You don't have to get involved. Just wait for me in your room. I will come back to pick you up when it is over."

"Kingsley…" Alice was initially going to dissuade him before she hesitated, and finally only whispered, "Be careful..."

"I will, Alice. Don't worry."

As he opened the door and walked out of the room, the door to Room 604 also happened to open at the same time.

Five burly men came out one after another and when they saw him, they respectfully greeted, "Boss."

Kingsley nodded in response. "Where is Beau Woolley? Did he die?"

"He didn't, Boss. That stud is pretty fit. We all did—"

Just as Rugir Will, the leader of the pack, was speaking, Kingsley raised his hand and interrupted, "There is no need to describe it in detail."
