I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel 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!"

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'."

"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?"
