I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 462 The Tables Have Turned

Kingsley's gaze swept across the audience, then he calmly said, "From my interaction with Vincent earlier, I’m pretty sure you have a rough idea about the matter, right?"

Hearing his question, everyone hurriedly nodded. "Yes! We heard you loud and clear. Professor Albright… Vincent Albright killed your parents for money."

"That’s right. Vincent Albright is a murderer! He doesn’t deserve to publish a biography!"

"We will definitely boycott a scumbag like him! I won’t ever read his books again!"

Those who were supporting Vincent changed their minds completely. No one dared to say that Kingsley’s parents deserved death anymore and they all put the blame on Vincent!

Even seasoned scholars like Gareth rubbed their beards, shook their heads, and said, "It is undeniable that Vincent is rather skillful in the field of computing. However, in my opinion, one’s character is far more important than one’s ability."

"That’s correct. A murderer absolutely should not be allowed into our academic community. This is an insult to us!"

After hearing the audience, Vincent was as white as a sheet!

It wouldn’t matter if only the readers had a change of heart, but now, Gareth and others were starting to avoid him.

These seasoned scholars were rather influential in the academic community of Diosna City.

Learning that, Vincent knew that if they decided to boycott him, even if he wrote ten thousand books, it wouldn’t guarantee him a spot in his dream academia.

"No, it’s not like that. Please hear me out…" Vincent said as he trembled. "Mr. Finley, please listen to me. The thing is—"

Gareth did not wait for Vincent to finish. He waved his hand and said, "There will be lots of opportunities for people who are skilled, but someone with a poor character is an absolute no-no! We'll never let a black sheep like you be a part of Diosna City’s prestigious academia."

This sentence was tantamount to a death sentence for Vincent’s career.

Vincent felt like his head was buzzing and his vision was starting to dim.

Witnessing the situation, Heston scoffed and asked the media reporters, "Is it still necessary to interview a scumbag like him? We're holding a news conference to discuss taking over Coliree Group's project. I'll give you the option of erasing any publicity materials related to Vincent's new book launch in return for a spot at the press conference of Scarlet Heart Group."

Upon hearing this, the reporters with their cameras were all fired up. This was because these unimportant reporters would not normally have the opportunity to attend an event that was as important as the Scarlet Heart Group's news conference. Because of this, they had to seize the chance when it was offered to them! Without wasting time, all the reporters with their cameras and microphones had moved to the side.

At this point, nobody cared about Vincent anymore.

Heston then pointed at the pale-faced book fanatics and asked Kingsley, "Mr. Nicholson, what do we do with them?"
