The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 423

After the three generations of the Hewitt Family entered the VIP box seats, Kingsley finally turned his attention back to the silent guests gathered in the hall.

"Now, I will give you a chance to speak." His fingers tapped against the table lightly. "Whoever believes that I am not qualified to sit here, please feel free to stand up and state your opinion!"

The guests were dead silent. Everybody exchanged glances with terrified expressions on their faces!

The chairman and eldest young master of the Scarlet Heart Group had addressed him as 'Mr. Nicholson'!

The mafia who took down Xanxus Norton had called him 'Boss Nicholson'!

The young master of the Carter Family and the manager of the Coliree Group had addressed him as 'Mr. Nicholson'!

Even the Solaris Military District's Chief of Army instinctively gave him a military salute!

How could such a person be an ordinary person? Who would dare to stand up and fearlessly confront him at this time?

For a time, everybody lowered their heads and trembled where they stood. They even began to breathe lightly and carefully, not daring to make a sound! The people who had spoken up on behalf of Eric earlier were so frightened that their bladders loosened, and urine trickled down their legs!

Kingsley swept his gaze over the crowd and said calmly, "Since you have nothing to say, then let me do the talking." He lowered his head to look at Eric, who was shaking like a leaf in the wind. "Mr. Yorkshire, I went easy on you back at the Sunshine Casino out of respect for President Yorkshire. Why did you not repent for your actions?"

"I whipped him hard with a belt! The belt ripped his skin apart!" Heston answered truthfully. "Then, I froze all his cards! He can only earn wages by working hard at his job! If he refused to work hard, then he wouldn't even have enough money to fuel his car! That's why he could only go to work by bicycle for the first two days!"

Kingsley nodded before he turned back to Arnold with a question. "What about you, President Yorkshire? Did you know that Eric suffered a huge loss in the Sunshine Casino just two days ago?"

After Arnold overheard the conversation between Kingsley and Heston, his expression changed from panic to confusion. He blabbered with a blank look in his eyes, "I heard about the incident, but I didn't think any of it. I simply told him not to get hurt…" At that point, he clutched at his heart and slowly rose to his feet. He wobbled to a chair nearby as he sat down, and mumbled hoarsely, "Could it be… Could it be that I've been wrong all this time? Could I have been ruining him instead?"

Even Heston could not bear to listen any longer. "Arnold! You are an extremely shrewd businessman! How can you be such a fool when it comes to educating your children? Why do you keep trying to find fault in yourself?"
