I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Dancing With the Grim Reaper!
“Of course!” Alice fretted. “They don’t give a sh*t about Bailey’s life at all. All they want is to add a complicated surgery into their resume so that they can embellish their promotion dissertation with it!”
“Alright.” Kingsley let go of her shoulder and said, “Your wish is my command.”
“You insolent fool! Who do you think you are?” Zayne snorted disdainfully. “My father is the director of this hospital, and even I am not as cocky as you!”
Upon seeing that Zyane was growing upset, Jude hurriedly reprimanded Alice with a frown. “Alice, take this man away this instance, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
However, Alice remained unmoved in the face of such an outright threat, stubbornly standing in front of the OR entrance, biting her lower lip so hard that it might bleed any second.
Kingsley couldn’t help sighing. Sure enough, Alice is still the cold and stubborn Alice I remember. Time sure hadn’t smoothened her edges.
With that, he went up to Zyane and asked with a half-smile, “Do you really want to do a cardiac surgery so badly?”
Zayne’s pupils shifted at a barely noticeable degree while he was taken aback. “Every doctor worries about the sick. It’s only natural that I want to help those who are dying!” he said with feigned nobility.
“Alright, since you want to do cardiac surgery so badly, I shall fulfill your wish!”
“What do you mean—”
But before Zayne could even finish his words, Kingsley had already turned, balled his right hand into a fist, and gave Jude a solid punch right at his heart.
His movement was so swift that everything happened within a second!
Pfft!

Jude, who was still frowning and glaring a second ago, had fallen stiffly to the floor with a collapsed chest, the depth at over an inch.
“Ah! Dr. Lynch…” The surrounding doctors and nurses backed up in shock, for none of them expected the gentle-looking young man to punch with the intent to kill!
Zayne, who felt the hostility up close, was even more appalled, and his blood froze, causing his face to look much whiter than his lab coat.
When the wind that followed after Kingsley’s punch brushed past his skin, he even had the illusion of dancing with the grim reaper!
“You said you wanted to do a cardiac surgery, didn’t you?” Kingsley smirked, then pointed toward Jude, who was groaning on the floor, and said to Zayne, “Here, your patient.”
Everyone was rendered speechless, including Zayne, who stood rooted on the spot, livid with rage.
With that, he clenched his fists with resentment and ordered through gnashed teeth, “Send Dr. Lynch to the OR on the seventh floor! He needs an operation, stat!”
When everyone hurried off, Kingsley went up to Alice and beamed like he wanted to take credit for what he had just done. “No need to thank me. Hurry up and do the surgery on Bailey. Just remember to treat me after you’ve saved him.”
After taking a good look at him, Alice pushed the door open without a word and entered the OR Bailey was in.
Now that things came to an end, Kingsley heaved a long sigh of relief but then remembered Hades had probably arrived with the car.
With that, he went down to the first floor of the basement parking lot, only to find a straight-faced Hades in all black standing by the elevator hall entrance after stepping out of the elevator.
Using the dim lighting in the hall, Kingsley wiped his forehead in exasperation. “Can you not make yourself so scary next time? Where’s the car?”
“At lot B704,” replied Hades deferentially as he handed Kingsley the car keys with both hands. “Ares, we’ve already purchased the whole of Qustia Park, located in Central Tech Valley, to use as our temporary lodging in Cleapolis.”
“Alright, got it. I’ll contact you guys immediately if anything. Careful not to blow your cover.”
“Yes, Ares.”
Following that, Kingsley went to the parking spot, B704, while swinging the set of car keys, only to find a janky 90’s Volkswagen Santana lying there like it would immediately come apart as soon as he started its engine, on its last legs.
“F*cking hell…” After cursing, he pulled his phone out to call Lancer. “This is the car you got me?!”
“That’s right,” Lancer said soberly. “You requested for an average car that isn’t flashy. But all the ones in the headquarter are worth over millions, which don’t fit your requirement. I only managed to find this one after searching the whole Cleapolis Military District.”
“You… Had it not occurred to you that you can get a new car that’s about two hundred thousand?”
“It has. But we can’t pick it up within twenty minutes and send it to Hill Crest Hospital.”
Lancer seemed to have realized what he said wasn’t very appropriate, so he added, “Boss, I’ve tested this car. It’s well maintained enough to take you around. I’ll get you a new one in a couple of days.”
“Forget it. I’ll find one myself when I’m free.”
After hanging up, Kingsley checked his watch to find it had just passed noon.
Since it’d be late night by the time Alice finished with the surgery, he decided to grab lunch near the hospital before returning to the orphanage to pick up Grandpa Joe.
