Chapter 27
Even Kingsley, the supreme commander who commanded the twelve military districts of Qustia, wassurprised to see it! The forces within the underworld and the military were different as one was madeup of lawless criminals, while the latter was part of the government. It hadn’t been easy for him to trackdown foreign spies since he couldn’t engage the army to investigate openly. Now that he had theNorthern Draken Tag, things would be more convenient for him.“Once you possess the NorthernDraken Tag, the lives of the people within the Northern Underworld of Qustia will be in your hands. Withgreat power comes great responsibility. Thus, you shouldn’t take people’s lives unnecessarily,” Henryadvised solemnly.“You said something wrong earlier, old man.” Kingsley grinned.“What did I saywrong?”As Kingsley picked up a white chess piece, he explained, “Earlier on, you mentioned that I playchess very aggressively with the strong intention to topple my opponent. However, having true grit iskey to winning chess. Even if I win, it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m overly aggressive. The killing isshown on the outside, but my underlying strategizing has gone unnoticed by you.”“You little brat! Youdared ask me to surrender, but I’m not allowed to teach you a lesson in return?” Henry slammed on thetable.“Sure, sure. Please go ahead with it.” Since Henry was sixty years older than him, he wasconsidered elderly. Out of respect, he wouldn’t try to oppress him using his identity as Ares.“That’s it.Get out of my sight this instant! You are an eyesore!” Henry chided before closing his eyes and ignoringKingsley.When the latter walked out of the room, the Tanner siblings went up to him immediately. “Areyou alright? Did my father do anything to you?” Gavin asked worriedly.Just then, an old woman in hersixties walked over from the other end of the corridor and told them off in a serious tone. “It is now hisbedtime. You guys should have your discussion elsewhere,” she said.“Yes, Aunty Helen,” the three ofthem answered and brought Kingsley to the living room on the first floor after that.As they sat on thecouch, Gavin asked Kingsley impatiently, “Kingsley, what did my father tell you?” The other two Tannersiblings were eager to know the answer to that as well.Kingsley took the brocade box, which was thesize of his palm out from his pocket, and placed it on the coffee table before saying, “Here, he gave methis.” Gavin lifted the box and opened it. “This is—” Looking at the words ‘Northern Draken Order’
written on the tag, Gavin was stupefied.“What is it? Can we have a look at it?”When they saw howsurprised Gavin was, both of them bent forward to get a closer look at it. “F*ck!” George, who wasusually calm, couldn’t help but swear when he saw those three words. “I-Isn’t this the Northern DrakenTag?”Chermaine asked in astonishment, “Oh my, did my father really give you the Northern DrakenTag?”“He lost the game. I suppose this is my reward.” Kingsley nodded.The three of them werespeechless upon hearing that. Surrendering the Northern Draken Tag that could warrant its owner theauthority to command the underworld just by losing a game of chess? Wasn’t that a joke?After a while,Gavin closed the box carefully and passed it to Kingsley. “Kingsley, my father must have his reasonsfor passing the tag to you. Therefore, you shouldn’t let him down. The Tanner Family has a very strongbase. Even though we do not have the tag, we wouldn’t be affected by it in the short run.” A hint ofdespair could be detected in his tone.“Don’t worry about it, Uncle Gavin. I’ll return the Northern DrakenTag to you once I’m done playing with it.” Kingsley smiled. Since he was Ares, the God of War whocommanded millions of troops, he wasn’t willing to be the commander of the underworld as it didn’tinterest him. Once he had exterminated the foreign spies, he would naturally return the tag.The Tannersiblings seemed relieved after hearing his words. Although the world ‘play’ sounded inappropriate, theywere glad that the Tanner Family’s authority would be preserved.Chermaine held Kingsley’s handswhile saying enthusiastically, “Since it’s already late, you should stay here tonight instead of drivingback to the city.”Kingsley agreed to it as he nodded.“Since there’s not much room in this mansion, youcan sleep in my niece’s room tonight since she’s away,” Chermaine chirped.“Your niece? Is it UncleGavin’s daughter?”“She is George’s daughter. Her name is Paige Tanner.” Chermaine led him to one ofthe rooms on the second floor and said, “This is Paige’s room. Have a good rest.”After Chermaine left,Kingsley took a hot shower and went to bed naked as he couldn’t replace any clean clothes to wear. Thenext morning, a sudden whipping sound was heard before the blanket on Kingsley was pulled off. Itwoke him up, and he immediately got off the bed. As he covered his crotch with his hands, he looked atthe lady standing in front of him and asked in surprise, “Who are you? How did you get in?”
