I Am the Ruler of All

Elaine ran up and gave Vincent a tight hug. "Dad! I know you wanted to make Mom regret her decisions, but if she saw you like this, she would only feel that leaving was the right thing to do!"

When Vincent, who was on the verge of losing his mind, heard that, was slightly startled. His lips quivered. "What should I do then? I’ve already lost everything..."

While still embracing him, she begged as she looked at Kingsley, "Kingsley… Mr. Nicholson, could you please let my father go? I’ll take his place instead…"

At this point, Courtney stepped forward and continued, "Kingsley, I believe the reason why Professor Albright is prejudiced is that the incident that happened years ago negatively impacted his mental health. Furthermore, once this incident is made public, I'm sure he'll lose his job as a college professor. He no longer has any chance of succeeding. Since Elaine previously saved me, please let him go..."

Elaine continued to sob. "I don’t expect you to forgive him, so all I ask is for you to not hurt him. I’ll take my dad back to his hometown and he’ll never appear before you again…"

When Kingsley saw how devastated Elaine was, a memory of her holding a huge bouquet of roses and proudly proclaiming "I am his girlfriend" from that night flashed before his eyes.

He took a deep breath. "Fine." Courtney has a point. Because of Elaine, I will never be able to kill Vincent. Furthermore, Vincent aspired to become a distinguished academic in this lifetime and someone who is admired and idolized by all. It would be more agonizing for him to return to his hometown and resume living as an ordinary person in the countryside compared to his dying. This could be his best punishment yet!
