I Am the Ruler of All

"I…"

Kyle was dumbstruck by Will's questioning. He pointed at Kingsley and said, "I'm just waiting to teach that beggar a lesson..."

As the vein in Will's forehead began to throb, he felt a tightening in his chest. His pulse rate increased, and he knew his blood pressure was well above 200.

Will clenched his jaw and mumbled something through gritted teeth as he continued, "You're in school! Why are you getting into trouble instead of focusing on your studies?!"

Kyle was shocked and thought to himself, You didn't focus on your studies either when you were in school.

Of course, he dared not speak to his brother that way. Instead, he muttered, "I'm just teaching this beggar a lesson..."

Smack!

Will slapped his face before he had any time to react!

"Shut up! I'll knock your head off if you keep talking like this." Will hurled a threat in his rage.

"Will, why did you slap me…" Kyle looked aggrieved as he held his face. H-How could I have been so rude and disrespectful?

Meanwhile, the crowd around them was also staring in shock. Nobody could figure out what was going on! Why did Will give his brother a slap across the face for no reason?

Kyle was utterly oblivious. "Will, why are you slapping me? What did I even say? I know you're in a bad mood because of what's happening with Scarlet Heart Group, but that isn't enough for you to drive over here to slap me, right?"

He clutched his throbbing cheek and grumbled, "I'm already twenty-two, and I'm not a child anymore! There are so many people here right now. You should at least care about my dignity!"

"Your dignity?!" Will snarled. "I'm trying to ensure you don't lose your life!"

Kyle was even more perplexed. "Will, what on earth is going on? Why are you saying such frightening things? All I did was teach this beggar…"

Smack!

Before Kyle could finish his sentence, Will slapped his face again. This time, it was even harder!

Kyle felt like his ears were ringing. It felt like his eardrums had ruptured!

"Will! What the heck are you doing?!"

Kyle's head was spinning, and he could barely think straight. He had no idea why he ended up getting slapped twice!

"What am I doing?!" Will pointed at Kingsley. "Why did you offend him?!"

"He ruined my confession and snatched my woman from me! He made me a laughingstock!"

Kyle shook his head and spat some blood. "How can I tolerate it, Will?"

"Of course, you can! Why can't you put up with it?!" Will gritted his teeth. "Do you know who he is?! No matter what he did to you, your only choice is to put up with it! Even if he kills your father or beats up your mother, you'd better just grin and bear it!"

Kyle, like everyone else, was speechless. The crowd exchanged looks. There were over a hundred people outside Block Jasmine, yet it was eerily silent. It remained so for more than a minute!
