The guy’s lackeys laughed out loud.
“Is he stupid? There’s no way we’re gonna give them back their money! Keep dreaming!”
“The people of the empire? Does he think he’s their savior or something?”
The thugs roared in laughter, as if Kingsley was just a joke.
Kenzo smacked his palm with his bat and asked arrogantly, “Hey, kid. Ever heard of our boss, Mr.
Norton?”
“He’s one of the Seven Legends, isn’t he?” Kingsley could guess that much.
“That’s right.” Kenzo looked smug. “And he’s going to enter Cleapolis. Diosna is under his control now,
and this urban village will be our first base!” His face was starting to contort evilly, and he threatened, “If
you get in our way, I’ll kill you right away!”
“Oh, so this is your first base?” Kingsley sneered. “Looks like your plan’s going to fail before it even
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbegins.” He knew what Mr. Norton was trying to do now. This urban village was set between Cleapolis
and Diosna. That guy’s gonna set a base here and take over Cleapolis’ underworld bit by bit. Nice plan,
but rotten luck. They just had to run into Kingsley right after they finished planning.
“What? You think our plan will fail?” Kenzo was offended. He frowned in fury, barking, “Nobody curses
the great Kenzo! I’m going to crush you!” He raised his bat and charged at Kingsley.
“Look out!” Yvonne gasped, her face as white as a sheet.
She watched in horror, but Kingsley managed to stop Kenzo’s bat with one hand. He pulled his arm
back a little, and Kenzo lost his bearing. He fell forward, and his bat fell with a clang.
“Holy sh*t!” Kenzo cursed. This guy is bad news!
Kingsley flicked his arm before Kenzo could regain his bearing and twisted the thug’s arms behind him
swiftly.
“Ow, ow, ow!” Kenzo felt a stab of pain coming from his arms, and he almost cried from the pain. “Let
me f*cking go! It hurts like hell!”
Kenzo flopped like a fish out of water, but he could not escape Kingsley’s grip. Kingsley single-
handedly pinned Kenzo down, and the guy was still screaming and struggling.
Kenzo’s lackeys gasped. They were just uneducated thugs. Threatening civilians was what they were
good at, but the moment they ran into someone stronger than they were, they paled. None had the guts
to come and save their boss.
Yvonne covered her mouth in surprise. She could not believe Kingsley had pinned the arrogant Kenzo
down so easily. “Oh my. He’s so awesome!” Her eyes shone with worship, and she gazed at Kingsley.
Kenzo was humiliated and furious. He shouted, “You ambushed me, kid! Let me go! We’re gonna fight
fair and square!”
Yvonne snapped out of her worship and clicked her tongue. “The audacity! You ambushed him first! He
fought you fair and square, you villain!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven Kenzo’s lackeys felt embarrassed. The boss is lying through his teeth.
Kenzo did not care even if he was lying. He roared, “Let me go, you b*stard! Let me go or you die!”
At this moment, Kingsley’s phone rang. He picked it up with his left hand while holding Kenzo’s arms
down with his right.
Baron said, “We got trouble, boss. My men went to Crimson Hall earlier. He wanted to see Leoric, but
guess what he found instead? Someone else has taken over the place. He called Leoric, and the guy
told him that Xanxus took Miss Jeanne’s turf. That traitorous snake!”
Baron took a deep breath. It sounded like he was inhaling his cigarette’s smoke. He then continued,
“Boss, Xanxus used to be in Diosna. We don’t know him well. It might take some time to find your
Sweoya spy.”
“I see,” Kingsley said indifferently. “Stop the operation for now, and take your men and come to house
number forty-seven in Nearcity.”
