I Am the Ruler of All

Perry gritted his teeth in fury. "If you hadn't called me over, none of this would have happened!" He bowed deeply at Kingsley. "If you let me go, I will tell you everything and prove that Calvin is the one who masterminded this."

Kingsley sneered. "No need for that. I have a ton of witnesses."

Right on cue, the crowd shouted once more.

"Yeah! We can be his witness! You can f*ck off!"

"Yeah! You need to be punished! You tried to hurt one of us, so we won't let you off the hook that easily!"

Perry could feel his soul shiver. The power of the many was terrifying. Even if the chancellor tried to help him now, he might not be able to save him from a raging mob.

Kingsley raised his hand to silence the crowd. He then looked at the crying Queenie. "They targeted you, so you should be the one exacting revenge."

"Me?" Stunned, Queenie stammered, "W-What should I do?"

Kingsley slapped Perry fiercely, then said with a smile, "This. Do it until you're happy."

"I…" Queenie was still a little scared.

Courtney held Queenie's hand. "I'll do it with you." They approached Perry, and Courtney swung her arm right into his face without saying a word.

Perry heard his mind buzz, and it took a few minutes for him to realize that Courtney had slapped him. "Why you little—"

He glared at her and was about to fly into a rage, but Kingsley said, "You have two choices. One, you let them slap you. Two, you taste my knuckle sandwich."

Perry was so scared that his cheeks trembled. He debated internally, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "F-First choice." It was embarrassing to let women hit him, but at least he could stay alive.

This gave Queenie courage, and she cried as she slapped him. "This is what you get for hurting me! I'll claw your face out!" She put all her strength into the slapping. Not even Courtney could get a slap in.
