As Kingsley’s rage got the better of him, he threw his fist at William so hard that he nearly dislocated
the latter’s jaw. In that instant, William’s eyes rolled upward just as a few of his teeth dropped out of his
mouth with blood trickling from his lips.
With a painful look on his face, William immediately snapped out of his alcoholic influence. “Darn you!
That hurts like hell!” Upon taking a moment to let the pain subside, he struggled and got back on his
feet with blood dripping from the corner of his lips. “How dare you hit me, you idiot!” William snarled at
Kingsley, covering his swollen cheek with his hand. “Do you know who the hell I am? I could kill you
just as easily as I crush an ant, and that can be done with a snap of my fingers!” The angry man then
charged at Kingsley.
Noticing William’s aggression, Leroy gritted his teeth and stood in front of Kingsley to protect him. With
veins covering his forehead, he glared at William and clenched his fists to brace himself for a tough
fight. After all, he was indebted to Kingsley and would never allow anyone to disrespect the latter.
However, Kingsley soon patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. He is just a nobody, and a nobody
like him isn’t going to be able to hurt me.”
As soon as Kingsley’s reply was heard, they all pointed at him and condemned his insolence and
egoism. “Why is this guy so full of himself? How dare he call Mr. Jacob a nobody?! He needs to know
his place!”
“Well, it’s obvious that he hasn’t messed with the wrong person before, and he is about to learn his
lesson!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilliam then wiped the blood off his lips and faked a smile in front of Kingsley. “You look pretty tough,
kid. Tell me your name. I want to know where the heck you’re from!”
Aware of Kingsley’s sensitive position, Leroy immediately introduced himself as the former’s assistant
to cover up his identity. “My name is Leroy Johnson, and I’m Mr. Nicholson’s assistant. So, you can talk
to me.”
“Mr. Nicholson?” William rolled his eyes around and sniggered, “What?! Mr. Nichol-son-of-a-b*tch?!
Why haven’t I heard of him around Cleapolis before?”
When William’s words were heard, the tourists and the tourism department’s employees couldn’t help
but laugh at Kingsley. “Pft, any Tom, Dick, and Harry can just call himself a boss now. What’s wrong
with people these days?”
“Exactly! Is he so full of himself just because he brought a few tow trucks here? My uncle owns a few of
those, but guess what? He is still paying back his debts!”
“Tsk! Tsk! Young people nowadays just simply need to be taught a lesson! Don’t they think they’re
making a fool out of themselves by calling themselves a boss in their twenties?! That sounds absurd!”
William suddenly chuckled and ridiculed Leroy and Kingsley. “What is a nobody like you doing on the
Jacob Family’s turf? You’re playing with fire by messing around here.” As he spoke, his jaw movement
irritated his wound, causing him pain and making him hiss. “I’m going to remember this, kid!” William
clenched his jaw and threatened Kingsley. “One day, I’m going to make sure someone chops off your
hand!”
At that moment, someone from within the construction hoardings shouted, “Mr. Johnson, I think we
found something.” When Kingsley heard those words, he was moved, his body beginning to shake
uncontrollably. “Are my parents’ remains found? At last, they can now leave this mountain and rest in
peace in their homeland.”
In the meantime, Leroy was excited about his discovery as well, wheeling the coffin from the hearse
before he made his way toward the construction hoardings. A few moments later, he wheeled the
wagon with the coffin on it and said, “Mr. Nicholson, look what we’ve found. It’s…” Before Leroy could
finish his words, William charged at him and landed a kick on his stomach, sending him falling onto the
ground as he moaned in agony.
“Step aside! I want to see what is so precious about your discovery!” William then kicked the wagon
and knocked over the coffin, only to see two skeletons falling out of it. At the sight of that, he became
furious and said, “D*mn! So, these skeletons are the jinx! Yucks!” He then proceeded to step and
stomp the skeletons while complaining. “No wonder nothing I’ve done recently succeeds. It’s all
because of these skeletons that were jinxing me! D*mn! I’m going to crush every bone of these
skeletons!”
Meanwhile, Kingsley was so thrilled with the discovery that it took him a few moments to understand
what was going on, but that few seconds of trance was enough for William to do something that would
put him in serious trouble. “Do you seek death?!” Kingsley’s eyes were bloodshot just as he swiftly
slipped behind William at lightning speed. He then grabbed William by the neck, as if he was holding a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchicken that he was about to butcher.
“Ah! What are you doing?! Let me down!” William was frightened, shouting in horror when he suddenly
felt his feet levitating from the ground.
At the same time, Jerrick exclaimed in terror and threatened Kingsley. “Hey, kid! You’d better let Mr.
Jacob go now! Are you asking for trouble?!”
“He is the one who is asking for trouble!” Kingsley’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he
snarled and roared in rage on the inside like a beast. It’s been 17 years! My parents were buried in the
dirt here at Mount Rochwick for 17 godd*mn years without anyone to pay respect to, like they didn’t
even exist at all. At the thought of how his parents were trampled by countless tourists every single
day, Kingsley’s heart broke into pieces. Therefore, he was determined to give his parents a proper
burial now that he had successfully become Ares, who had millions of warriors at his command, but
William’s disrespectful action of knocking over his parents’ coffin and stomping their skeletons only
served to make him even more furious and grief-stricken.
“Let go of Mr. Jacob!”
“How dare you get physical with Mr. Jacob! You’re inviting a disaster!”
“Let Mr. Jacob go, and you might just survive.”
Just when the entire crowd filled the atmosphere with murmurs and gossip, Kingsley’s eyes appeared
to turn red. “Kill him!” The overwhelming murderous intent he was feeling suddenly surged through him
just as a strong wind stormed the entire Mount Rochwick.
