I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 396

The crowd gaped at the sight of Zeke cowering like a chicken.

None of them could have guessed that the breathless and weary-looking man in front of them right now was Will Maslow of the Scarlet Heart Group.

"What the hell… That's Will Maslow! And here I was wondering why he offered to foot a 500-grand bill!"

"Oh my goodness! Why does he look so unkempt? He looks nothing like the pictures I've seen on the news!"

Just then, someone asked in confusion, "But… why would Will Maslow try to pay on behalf of a beggar?"

As soon as those words rang out, everyone turned their gazes to Kingsley yet again.

Another person said in a hushed voice, "My guess is… maybe Will Maslow likes that woman! That's why he's fighting to foot the bill. It's so that he can earn her favor."

Everyone nodded in agreement once they heard about this possibility.

"I'm sure that's why! Otherwise, why would Will Maslow himself stand up for a loser like that guy?"

"Sigh. If Will Maslow foots the bill, we won't be able to see that loser being humiliated!"

Zeke's eyes flashed as he took in the crowd's comments.

He took a deep breath and mustered all his courage. "Mr. Maslow, Miss Bullock and my girlfriend are roommates. If you like her—"

However, before Zeke could finish his sentence, Will cut him off with a snarl, "What utter bullsh*t! You better f*cking watch your mouth, or I'll rip your tongue out!"

Will broke out in cold sweat along his forehead as a chill ran down his spine.

Miss Bullock was Kingsley's sister!

Even if he had the courage of a hundred men, he would still not have the guts to even think about her in that way!

The last person who tried to go after Courtney was his younger brother, and Kyle was still lying in the Intensive Care Unit right now!

He was not going to share Kyle's fate!

Zeke was bewildered to see how furious Will had gotten.

"M-Mr. Maslow, I didn't say anything—"

"What the f*ck are you trying to say now?" Will growled. "One more stupid thing out of your mouth and I'll make sure your entire family gets run out of Diosna City for good!"

Right then, Kingsley chuckled and said, "Mr. Maslow, you shouldn't ask him to shut up. After all, aren't you two best buddies?"

"Who?" Will was startled. "Who am I best buddies with? This punk?"

Kingsley nodded. "He said it himself that you guys are best buddies. All he has to do is say the word and we'd be able to get a high-ranking position in Scarlet Heart Group."

As soon as Zeke heard what Kingsley said, he began shaking so violently that he looked like he was about to have a seizure.

He stared at Will, petrified. "Mr. Maslow, p-pplease let me explain…"

Will's expression was dark as he glared at Zeke and barked, "You? How can a guy like you be best buddies with me? Who the f*ck do you think you are to throw my name about in your attempts to talk yourself up?"

Zeke crumpled down on his knees. His voice was trembling as he said, "Please calm down, Mr. Maslow. I made a mistake, a serious mistake… I didn't mean it…"

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to him. He pointed at Catherine and he said, "She's the one who said it! She's the one who lied about it for the sake of her pride!"

Catherine, who had already been scared stiff by the sudden turn of events, froze in shock!

She stared at Zeke in disbelief.

"W-Why are you putting all the blame on me? Why would I have said it if you didn't brag about it at the bar last time?"

"When did I ever brag about this at any bar?" Zeke bellowed back. "You lying, stinking b*tch! Stop making things up about me!"

Tears streamed down Catherine's face as she wailed, "Zeke Pena! How can you say that? How can you—"

"Cut it out!" Will barked out in irritation. "Shut the f*ck up, both of you!"

Then, he pointed at Catherine and said to Zeke, "Hey, you. Go and slap that b*tching mouth of hers!"
