The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 427

Albi's expression changed drastically upon hearing his father's reprimand. He hurriedly lowered his head and apologized. "You're right, Father."

When Kingsley saw his reaction, he broke into a smile and said, "Mr. Hewitt, there's nothing wrong about asking questions. The truth is that I was Warren's comrade-in-arms. As for the presence of Jay Carter and the others… I didn't ask them to come here. We just happened to know each other.''

"You… are Warren's comrade-in-arms?" Both Walter and Loretta had tears in their eyes when they heard their youngest son's name.

They were in no mood to wonder about the degree of truth in his words. Naturally, they would not inquire further, even if they had any doubts in their hearts. They were far from spring chickens now and had come to understand the true meaning of the saying, 'Where ignorance was bliss, it was folly to be wise'.

"Yes. I was a soldier for two years." He bowed deeply to Walter and Loretta and handed them a name card. "My name is Kingsley Nicholson. I come from Cleapolis. Please give me a call at any time if you ever need my help in the future."

Walter took the name card with both hands. The name card was elegant, containing only the words 'Kingsley Nicholson' and a phone number. He kept the business card away preciously. "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Nicholson."

After Kingsley parted ways with the Hewitt couple, he drove back to Solaris University. Courtney and Elaine were already waiting for him below the dormitories.

"Kingsley." Courtney stepped forward. "How was the birthday celebration? Was it lively?"

"Of course, it was lively," he replied with a smile. "It's such a waste that you didn't come with me, Courtney! You could have had the chance to see Zeke's wretched wailing face!"

She sneered upon the mention of Zeke's name in her presence. "I couldn't be bothered to see his ugly and disgusting mug." Then, she hurriedly tugged at Elaine, who was standing beside her. "By the way, Elaine says that she has talked to Professor Albright. Why don't you discuss the matter in detail?"

Elain held a hardcover book with an elaborate silver cover in her hands and spoke apologetically, "I'm sorry. I begged my father the whole morning, but he refused to agree to meet you in private. So, again, I'm very sorry…"

"It's nothing. I asked you for help after all. So, what is there for you to be sorry about?" He waved his hands dismissively. "I should be thanking you instead. You had to beg your father for so long just because of me."

She smiled shyly before seemingly remembering something as she handed the book in her hands to him and added, "My father wrote this book. It can be regarded as his autobiography, but it is mainly about some of his unique insights into the field of information security. I specially brought a copy for you today."

He took the exquisite hardcover book from her. Then, his eyelids twitched at the sight! The words written on the cover were 'Computers—Twenty Years of Information and Intelligence', written by Vincent Albright.

Information and Intelligence? When those words came upon his very sight, he became almost 90% sure that Vincent was the head of The Anonymous! After all, ordinary people would rarely have access to the information known as 'intelligence' in today's society. Not to mention, a university professor in the School of Computer Science like Vincent was able to write a book on information and intelligence. That could only indicate that he had some unusual experiences in his life!

With that thought in mind, Kingsley sincerely thanked Elaine. "Thank you, Miss Albright. I will thoroughly study Professor Albright's works tonight and arrange a meeting with him when school starts tomorrow."

After Courtney heard the way Kingsley addressed Elaine, she burst into laughter. "'Miss Albright'? I thought the two of you had already gotten familiar with each other. Why are you still being so distant?" Then, she slapped Kingsley on the shoulder. "Here, call her 'Ellie'." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Um…" Kingsley was speechless for a moment. "No matter how you look at it, I'm a man. So, it's inappropriate for me to call her by a pet name, right?"

"What is there to be embarrassed about? Can't a man call a lady by a pet name?" Courtney pretended to lose her temper and pouted. "Don't you call me by a pet name too?"
