I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 461

"What?" Heston sneered. "Since you dared to insult Mr. Nicholson, you shouldn’t be questioning my harsh treatment of you."

Confused, Vincent said, "M-Mr. Nicholson? What about Mr. Nicholson? Whom did I insult? I…"

He was speaking halfway when he suddenly stopped speaking.

At this point, he looked at Kingsley in bewilderment and said with quivering lips, "Are these people here because of you?"

Before Kingsley could speak, Heston said, "There is no need for Mr. Nicholson to personally call us over since we would be scrambling to win his favor!"

What he said was indeed the truth.

These presidents in the room were all involved in the Coliree Group’s project in some way and their companies were all ready to take off with this project.

However, the others present had no idea.

When they heard Heston’s remarks, a ruckus erupted among them.

Everyone panicked as they were in disbelief. "Did I… hear that right? These are the owners of Diosna City’s best companies! And yet, they are fawning over this young man?!"

"Isn’t he a jobless bum? What the hell is going on?!"

"This is bad… I think I just told him to get the hell out… I'm really done for…"

"I-I called him a moron… What should I do…"

At that moment, everyone went pale, and they were silent. Some who were screaming angrily earlier were so afraid that they had collapsed onto the floor!

As for Calvin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was completely dumbfounded! He gaped in shock while his eyes showed signs of losing focus!

Under the horrified gazes of the audience, Heston and the others approached Kingsley, bowed in unison, and yelled, "Mr. Nicholson!"

"You may get up," Kingsley said indifferently. "Why are you guys here?"

As soon as Kingsley finished speaking, Sebastian said repeatedly, "Thank you, Mr. Nicholson! Thank you!"

Then, Sebastian got up from the floor and made a quick exit.

Meanwhile, the sharp-eyed Will was able to spot Courtney in the crowd in just a second. He hurried over and cordially welcomed Courtney and the other two to the main stage.

At the sight of this, Kingsley was a little taken aback. He wasn’t ready to deal with Elaine yet, so he hadn't been talking with Courtney as well. It was therefore surprising that Will had invited Courtney, Elaine, and Queenie all at once.

"Courtney," Kingsley called out.

Hearing that, Courtney shot him a glare and said in a voice that was loud enough for only the two of them to hear, "Kingsley, why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me beforehand? I’ll deal with you in a while!"

Without waiting for Kingsley’s explanation, she added, "Forget it, let’s get this done first and we’ll talk later. Also, don’t make Elaine sad…"

"Okay." Kingsley nodded and raised his head to look at the book lovers and scholars who were silent.
