I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 256

"No, no, that is not what I meant." The man quickly waved his hand as he cleared up the misunderstanding. "It is just that I admire Dr. Nicholson for having such a beautiful lady by his side!"

What the hell?! I'm definitely not tired of loving, so I wouldn't dare get on his bad side!

Kingsley and Alice walked into the banquet hall together with everyone's envious gazes on them.

Beau's eyes immediately glinted lustfully when he saw Alice's sensual figure.

Glancing at his watch, he murmured anxiously, "Sh*t! Why is time passing by so slowly?! I can't f*cking wait anymore!"

Zayne had already put the plan in motion right at this moment. All he had to do now was wait for nightfall so that he could lure Kingsley away.

However, Beau's eyes were blinded with his desire for Alice and he kept staring at her body. He could only take glances at his watch every now and then while he prayed for the sky to turn dark faster.

The dinner banquet officially began at 6.30PM.

After everyone gathered in the hall, they started chatting among themselves as they had a taste of the unique red wine of Jadeland Heights.

Alice had a wine glass in her hand that she slightly covered her red lips with. In a low voice, she whispered, "Kingsley, Beau has been staring at us..."

The corners of Kingsley's mouth raised when he heard that and he scoffed. "He is probably filling his head with beautiful thoughts now. I will let him enjoy himself a little longer."

"What do you think they will do to get you to leave, Kingsley?" Alice frowned and continued, "Why do I feel so uneasy?"

He only calmly replied, "Doesn't matter what they do; I will handle them accordingly. They are but mere ants to me. Nothing they do will change anything."

…

Time went by in the blink of an eye as they conversed.

The sky had gradually gotten darker, but the smell of alcohol in the hall had also intensified.

The men and women around had all found someone they fancied, and the atmosphere had reached the apex of the night.

This only further fueled Beau's impatience!

As he glanced at his watch with every passing second, he started to pace back and forth, as though he was stepping on coal.

"Just what is up with Zayne? Why is there still no update when it is already nighttime?"

While Beau was frantically shuffling back and forth while holding his wine glass, Kingsley's ringtone

started going off.

He had gotten a call from Alan.

Kingsley was puzzled when he saw Alan's caller ID flashing across the screen of his phone.”

Not knowing what Alan was calling him for, he accepted the call. "Hello? Professor Gershwin?"

"This is Zayne!"

Much to Kingsley's surprise, the voice that came from the other end of the call was Zayne's.

Zayne's tone sounded flustered as he panted heavily. "Kingsley, Professor Gershwin went missing on Mount Crowler! I only found his phone! Hurry over and take a look!"

Listening to his flimsy lie, Kingley smiled slightly and pretended to sound nervous. "Really? Oh my God! What should we do?!"

"Pfft!" A laugh accidentally slipped from Alice when she saw Kingsley's act.

However, knowing very well that Beau was still keeping an eye on them from somewhere nearby, she quickly stopped laughing and acted surprised as well. "What's going on, Kingsley?"

He hung up the phone then. "Zayne said that Professor Gershwin went missing, and he asked me to head over to Mount Crowler to join in on the search."

Alice immediately knew that this was their ploy to lure Kingsley away upon hearing that! "W-Will

something really happen to Professor Gershwin?" she nervously asked in a meek voice.

"No." He shook his head. "Zayne doesn't have the guts to kill someone himself, much less Wendell."

As Kingsley said that, he saw Beau walking toward them in brisk steps. He then warned Alice in a low voice, "Beau is here. Be careful not to make him suspect anything."

On the other hand, Beau felt like his heart was about to jump right out of his chest.

He had waited the whole night just for Kingsley to receive the call from Zayne!

Seeing that things were starting to move along according to plan, Beau excitedly scurried in Kingsley's direction. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"What should we do, Kingsley? I am so worried about Professor Gershwin!" Alice sneakily took a glance at Beau and exclaimed loudly, "We should head to Mount Crowler to see what is going on!"

She had just finished speaking when Beau suddenly popped out of nowhere and put on a clueless act. "What's wrong? What happened to Professor Gershwin?"

Kingsley brought his gaze up and gave Beau the side-eye before he replied, "Professor Gershwin went missing on Mount Crowler. Alice and I are planning to look for him together."

"Gosh! But it is so dark outside! It is too dangerous for a woman like Dr. Kramer to go out there!"

As though he was reading a passage from a textbook, Beau recited lines from the script he had prepared and memorized beforehand.

"Also, Professor Gershwin might be resting somewhere in this hotel right now! How about this—you and Zayne head over to Mount Crowler to look for the professor, Mr. Nicholson, whereas Dr. Kramer and I will look around in this hotel? What do you say?"
