I Am the Ruler of All

They did not have to go too far either. All the enemy had to do was send a couple members of the Gamblers Organization to do their bidding and they would lose everything.

"Of course, Mr. Kearney. I won't do anything to Mr. Nicholson," Rhys answered fearfully. He felt like crying.

Xanxus had been in hiding ever since he was nearly assassinated a couple of days ago. He was trying to hunt the killer down. As if things were not bad enough, Rhys lost their most profitable estate, Sunshine Casino, to someone else. Mr. Norton will kill me if he finds out.

"Sobs. What should I do? What should I do?" I'll have to see the Grand Master at the Blood Moon Hotel tomorrow, and Mr. Norton will be there too. Rhys felt a heart attack coming up, and he felt like he had the wind knocked out of him.

While Rhys was crying in despair, Kingsley and Paige had arrived at their car in the parking lot.

"Don't forget what I told you just now, Miss Tanner," Kingsley said. "If you see Serena, tell her Xanxus will fall by tomorrow morning. She can come straight in after that and clear things up."

"You mean she can mount a frontal assault?" Paige cocked her eyebrow. "Xanxus isn't your usual romp, you know." Before Kingsley could say anything, she crossed her arms and took one step toward him.

Curiously, she looked into his eyes and asked, "Who are you, actually? Grandpa gave the Northern Draken Tag to you, and now someone from the Gamblers Organization calls you their grandmaster. You're a mysterious guy, aren't you?" She blushed. "I might actually fall for you if I don't have a crush on someone else."

He smiled sheepishly. "Wow, you have a crush? He must be one lucky guy."

"Oh, no. If anyone's lucky here, it's me." Paige's eyes shone. "The guy I like is the one and only Ares, the God of War!"

Kingsley choked on himself and pushed Paige into the car. "You should get going now, Miss Tanner. It's late." He would never try to trifle with a mischievous soul like Paige. She might commit unimaginable horrors if she went out of control. Kingsley went back to the Blood Moon Hotel after he saw Paige off.

Logan was behind the reception, fiddling with his phone. The sight of Kingsley upset him, and he said nothing.

Scarlett had slapped him when he suggested telling Frederick about Kingsley's plans of dealing with Xanxus, and he blamed that on Kingsley. He wanted to yell at Kingsley, but the guy had a gun, so he kept quiet and rolled his eyes.
