I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 409

"It's Will and that Nicholson guy who picked a fight with me!" Eric whined. "They were stepping all over me. Should I just stand there and take it?"

Arnold had a stern expression on his face as he warned him coldly, "I'll fill you in on the details once we're home. All you have to know is, Mr. Nicholson, isn't someone you can offend!"

"I got it, Dad." When Eric noticed the livid expression on his father's face, he didn't dare to argue with him and answered with a nod. Despite that, he still couldn't accept it, as he thought maliciously, What should I do to Kingsley Nicholson so that I can avenge the insult I suffered?

At the same time, Zeke looked incredibly sullen in a corner at the back rows.

He never imagined that even Eric wasn't able to crush Kingsley!

He shot daggers at Kingsley, who was seated in the front row, as he muttered viciously, "F*cker, I'll let you live for a little longer. You've already stepped on Eric Yorkshire's toes, and I'll think of ways to make him kill you!"

Although everyone's minds were whirring with plots and schemes, the banquet had officially begun.

On the stage, the master of the ceremony kicked it off by saying some words in celebration of Loretta's birthday before he started introducing the important figures seated in the front seats.

"Here, we have the senior officers from Solaris, Minister Hansen, and Chief Rees, the mayor of Diosna, Mr. Norris. The chief commissioner, Director Klein, and next to him is Mr. Higgins…"

The MC introduced them one by one. Yet, whenever he announced their title, the audience would still gush in surprise.

They were all in awe at The Hero's Family's influence and how they were capable of inviting so many influential figures from so many fields to attend Loretta's birthday banquet!

Even the MC was shaking in excitement. "This is the president of Scarlet Heart Group, Mr. Maslow, and his son. Next is…"

When it was time to introduce Kingsley, he came to a pause because there was no such person on the guest list that the hotel manager gave him!

All of a sudden, beads of sweat formed on his forehead and trickled down his hairline.

"He is… He is…"

His lips trembled uncontrollably as he tried his best to recall the guest list.

This young man can't possibly be someone simple if he's taking a seat with all the other people of influence! he thought. If I can't introduce him, it will be a back-breaking mistake in my job!

Just when more sweat was flowing down his forehead, Kingsley smiled softly. "I'm just a friend of Will and a nobody."

When the people heard this, they all had different types of expressions—the MC let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as though he had narrowly avoided the guillotine. Will and Heston were filled with excitement when Kingsley acknowledged them as his friend, and Eric snorted with a look of contempt.
