I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 402

"My dad is already here." Will gestured at the VIP lounge on the side of the hall. "He and the other board members are in the VIP room with Mr. Hewitt and the mayor. I think they will only come out when the banquet is about to start."

Kingsley nodded in agreement. "You're right. I wondered why so many provincial and municipal cars were parked at the gate, but not one could be seen in this hall."

Will grinned. "Well, those are VIPs. You don't get to see or talk to them unless you're the chairman of a large corporation or an influential person in Diosna. We, youngsters, should just wait in the lobby outside."

There was a commotion in the crowd as soon as he finished speaking. Someone announced, "Mr. Yorkshire from Sunrise Corporation has arrived!"

"Good to see you, Mr. Yorkshire."

"This way, please!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Eric walked over slowly to the center of the hall in his luxurious silver-gray suit as everyone started pandering to him. He had a prideful expression on his face. Coupled with his snobby attitude, he succeeded in looking like a peacock strutting into the venue. Although Will was on par with him regarding power and wealth, Eric managed to look far more arrogant than Will.

Will could not help but snort when he saw Eric's smug look. "What an arrogant *sshole! He merely won Coliree Group's project, and he is showing off like a peacock."

Just as Will was discreetly insulting the pompous peacock, Eric also caught sight of Will and walked up to him. He chalked up a fake smile and said enigmatically, "Isn't this the Young Master of the Scarlet Heart Group? Why are you looking so emaciated? Is it because the Scarlet Heart Group is going to be bankrupt? Oh boy, poor you. Why don't you come to my corporation, and I promise you—" Eric was just about to say something sarcastic when his expression suddenly changed; he just realized Kingsley was standing beside Will.

He unwittingly pointed his fingers at Kingsley and was lost for words for being caught off guard. "Y-You were the one at the Sunshine Casino that day!"

Kingsley found it amusing that Eric was so shocked to see him. He smiled slightly and teased, "Did you only just see me?"

Will had never felt so happy seeing Eric's terrified expression, so he imitated Eric's enigmatic tone. "Isn't this Mr. Yorkshire? You do look great. I wonder if it is because you ate some socks? Don't be shy to let me know if there aren't enough socks at the Sunrise Corporation. My corporation can add a new socks production line for you!”

Eric was so furious that his face turned red, and veins started bulging on his forehead when he heard Will's sickly-sweet insults. Still, he remembered that he was currently in public, so he directed his anger at Kingsley by cursing him, "Now I know why you are so rich. That's because you are alluding to this shady person here! He sent you to humiliate me the other day! You deliberately set me up!"

Kingsley sneered coldly. "You're obviously trying to find fault with us after seeing Paige's beauty. I wonder why you try to blame whatever happened to you on me instead."

"You f*cking retard!" Eric was already waving his hands angrily as he roared, "I clearly fell into the trap

you two b*stards set for me!" The thought of it made him so agitated that he felt his veins were about to burst. Kingsley forced him to swallow a sock in public at the Sunshine Casino. Although he instantly vomited it out as soon as he left the place, he was still so sick at the smell that he almost vomited out bile.

And he needed to find out who leaked this matter. It had even spread among the wealthy heirs in the City. Everyone was afraid of his status in the City, and no one dared to discuss it in front of him. However, he could imagine how they all laughed at him behind his back.

The longer he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he clenched his fist so tightly that his bones creaked in protest. "Will, you have to give me an explanation today, no matter what!" He then pointed at Kingsley with his fingers and tilted his chin arrogantly at Will. "You have two choices. Either I will bring Kingsley back to vent my anger on him, or you kneel down and admit that the Scarlet Heart Group is insidious and cunning!"
