I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 420

"Bullsh*t!" Arnold's voice broke as he shouted in response.

"80% of our company's resources are invested in this project! The company will go bankrupt if we withdraw now!"

Eric understood the underlying meaning of his father's words.

Arnold wanted him to kneel and beg 100 times.

Eric shook his head in horror.

"No… I don't want to! I would rather die than beg! I'm the young master of Sunrise Corporation. Why would I beg someone else?"

Will had mixed feelings when he saw how twitchy Eric had become.

He was a little happy to see Eric's misfortune but also somewhat terrified of sharing the same fate. However, more than anything else, he was relieved.

Will thought to himself. Luckily I earned Mr. Nicholson's forgiveness! Or else, I would probably end up in a fate worse than Eric's.

At the same time, he also swore to himself that he would never ever offend Kingsley!

On the other hand, Eric wasn't as fortunate as Will. He almost peed his pants as he crawled over to Kingsley's feet and begged, "Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson, please. Ask Mr. Carter to let me off the hook! I would never disrespect you ever again!"

After Leoric, who was standing behind Kingsley, stared at the frankly pathetic scene starring Eric begging oh-so pitifully, he mumbled in realization, "Boss, I think I know what you meant just now. This guy is desperate."

Kingsley smiled faintly. "This is just the start."

Then, he lowered his head and looked at Eric. "Weren't you saying that you would kill me? Mr. Yorkshire?"

"No. No. No. I was bullsh*tting!" Eric wretchedly grabbed onto Kingsley's pants.

"Please. Please let me off this time. It's Mrs. Hewitt's birthday celebration, after all."

Kingsley smirked. "If it weren't for her, you'd be a dead man walking by now."

Eric stared at him piteously with his mouth agape.

Then, he slowly released Kingsley's pants. "You… You weren't going to let me go, were you?"
