I am the ruler of all novel (Kingsley)
Chapter 55

Chapter 55

When Thomas and the chief of the army, Jim, saw the man, they stood straight because the man wasnone other than the general of Solaris Military District—Lev.

As soon as Randy heard how Lev called Kingsley, he was blown away by those words, followed by abuzzing that filled his head. Ares?! Was he the legend who had been fighting battles to protect Qustiaand winning all of them? At the thought of that, Randy was held back by his skepticism that kept himfrom accepting the truth that Kingsley was the fierce warrior who had been honored with that title, Ares.However, he couldn't deny Kingsley's power and influence, considering the fact that he and his peoplehad been surrounded by thousands of military units. Thus, he had no choice but to accept theunpleasant truth begrudgingly.

"A-Ares…" Everyone felt as shocked as Randy did. "Please, Ares! Show us mercy! Ares!" In thatinstant, no one else had the guts to push their luck ever again as they all kneeled down andsurrendered, imploring Kingsley to spare them.

Suddenly, a few loud bangs shook the ground and took everyone's breath away just when guns werefired at the sky. At the sight of that, Randy felt as if he almost had a heart attack, his lips turning pale,as if he was suffocating. In that instant, Connor held onto his father and asked in horror, "What's themeaning of this? Are they trying to crush us and reduce us to ashes?"

"No!" Kingsley set his eyes coldly upon those people. "Consider this your new 'housewarming' gift."The man then took a step forward and looked at Randy kneeling on the ground, bending over andadding, "After all, you're all going to be moving into your new home soon—hell. So, don't you think thatshould call for a celebration?" As soon as he finished his words, he stood straight in front of the tearfulcrowd and looked up at the sky. "Father! Mother! Can you both see this? I'm back! I will be sure to sendeveryone who has ever harmed you all to hell and rebuild the Nicholson Family!"

After Kingsley finished his words, the dark clouds and the strong wind somehow just went away beforethey were replaced by the clear sky that was accompanied by the bright sunshine. As soon as the rainlet up, Lancer and Hades took off their black raincoats, revealing the two golden star badges on theirshoulders. Standing behind Kingsley along with Lev, they gave off an intimidating and oppressive aura.At that moment, Jim humbly presented the gown that had been long prepared and was meant for Aresto Kingsley, who flipped it onto his back and put it on. Seconds after he put on the cloak, the sevengolden star badges glittered and shone glaringly on Kingsley's shoulder in the bright sun, making theman seem as if he was Ares, the God of War, himself.

In that instant, everyone in the military felt a boost in their morale as they expressed their admiration forKingsley by shouting, "Ares, the God of War! Ares, the God of War! Ares, the God of War! Ares, theGod of War!"

While the soldiers' cheer reverberated through the air and took over the atmosphere with their might,everyone else in the Summers Family felt as if their souls had left them, replaceing themselves on theverge of losing their consciousness due to their overwhelming fear.

"Randy Summers! Connor Summers! Caleb Summers! Kayla Reed! Ashton Birch!" Kingsley called outthose names one by one, as if those whose names were mentioned were fated to meet their end soonwhile the color was drained from their faces. Is that the voice from hell? Does it mean that our end isnear?

"Caleb, do you admit your sin for forcing yourself upon my sister, Yulia?! Connor, you instigated yourpeople to plot against me. Do you admit your sin?! Kayla, do you regret bullying your colleaguesarrogantly?! Ashton, have you learned from your mistake of oppressing the weak now that you're

staring death in the face?!"

Soon, Kingsley turned his attention to Randy and added, "Randy, you were behind the fire that killedmy parents 17 years ago as you forcefully claimed the Nicholson Family's land as yours! For that, areyou and your family ready to confess your sins to my parents in the afterlife?!"

When those people heard Kingsley's words, they were all overwhelmed by a buzzing in their heads andthe regret for what they had done in the past. Soon, Caleb groveled to Kingsley, weakly begging him forforgiveness. "It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

Randy, on the other hand, explained with a sad voice, "Kingsley… Ares, please hear me out. I didn't killyour parents. It wasn't me who did that."

"What do you mean?"

"I was just a little pawn for someone much bigger back then. All I was told was just to clear the messafter it was done, so I was actually nothing more than an underling who merely followed his orders."

Kingsley squinted. "That makes you an accomplice anyway. Tell me who else is involved, and I'll makeyour death less painful!"

"I-I really have no idea…" Randy went on to grovel at Kingsley's feet. "They told me to just take care ofthe bodies and make sure no trails were left behind. After that, they paid me one million and gave methis piece of land. That's all I know." Suddenly, Randy seemingly thought of something that could savehis life and added, "The bodies… I know where your parents were buried back then! It's MountRochwick!"

"Where is that place?!"

"There is a church at the foot of the hill, and their remains were buried just right behind the churchcalled St. Savior!"

Randy then pitifully looked at Kingsley and said, "I told you everything I knew, so please spare theSummers Family."

Kingsley glacially looked back at Randy and barked, "Spare you all? Did you all spare me and myfamily back then? I was only just five years old when I had to witness my parents' decapitation in thefire! It is only now that I've lost my parents and my home that you want me to show you mercy?!"

Hearing every single word of Kingsley's lecture and reprimand, Randy felt his heart filled with despairand hopelessness. Deep down, he knew Kingsley would never give the Summers Family a secondchance and that he was bracing himself to accept his family's doom.

On the other hand, Kingsley took a deep breath and calmed himself down from his overwhelminganger, turning his attention to Lev. "Alright, that's enough. Tell your men to have these 500 minionslocked up at the police station in Cleapolis for investigation. Make sure no one goes unpunished!"

Knowing that his people's criminal records would be discovered and used against them, Ashton wassure that they would be jailed for at least ten years if they were taken to the police station. "Boss!"Ashton started wailing. "I'm just a guy who happened to be caught in the collateral damage! Iunderstand you're after the Summers Family, but I've been set up!" Having rallied up all his men for theoccasion, he was worried that he would be a mob leader without anyone to command if all of hisunderlings were sent to prison. By then, Kingsley wouldn't even have to make a move against himbecause he would be a wanted man among his enemies in the underworld. Therefore, Ashton cried

and pathetically crawled toward Morten. "Morty, please do something! I don't want to die!"

On the other hand, Morten hesitated for a while with an ambiguous look on his face and shifted hisgaze to Kingsley. "Ares, for our old times' sake, please…"

Before Morten could finish his words, Kingsley demanded the former in a harsh manner, questioning,"What do you think you're doing here? Begging me to show them mercy? Do you really think you canget away with all this?!" His words implied that Morten would not go unpunished for colluding with theSummers Family.

"You…" Morten angrily refuted Kingsley. "I'm one of the most respected and revered figures in theunderworld. You may be the God of War, but you cannot abuse your power. Aren't you afraid of gettingon the wrong side of everybody else in the underworld?!"

"Who says I'm going to punish you as the God of War?" Kingsley responded with a glacial smile andtook out the Tanners' Northern Draken Tag, shouting, "Here is the Northern Draken Tag! Now, you shallkneel before me!"
