Chapter 331
Xanxus was still upright, but he had to tense all his muscles to stay upright. He asked throatily, "How
did you get your hands on the Northern Draken Tag?"
Kingsley answered calmly, "Henrich gave it to me."
"Hen—" The fact Kingsley was on first-name basis with Henrich almost made Xanxus wobble. Henrich
Tanner was the undisputed king of Qustia's northern underworld. Xanxus was just a small fry compared
to that juggernaut, but Kingsley made it sound like Henrich was just an old man living next door. He felt
his blood run cold, and he asked, "Y-You know the Tanners' family head?"
"Of course," Kingsley answered calmly. "The geezer's a shitty chess player, and he loves to lecture

Xanxus wanted to scream. "You called the Tanners' family head a geezer. A geezer."
Frederick huddled closer and whispered, "I think he's friends with the Tanners. We should kill him while
he's alone. Nobody's gonna know."
Xanxus' eyes glinted coldly. He's right. We're already enemies anyway. He won't let us go even if we
grovel. There's nobody else around. This is our chance to get back at this little b*stard. He'll be a
problem for us if we don't kill him now because his backers are powerful. I'm no match for either the
Gamblers Organization or the Tanners. Xanxus cracked his neck and said darkly, "You overestimate
yourself, kid. You shouldn't have challenged me alone, even if you have the tag."
"What do you mean, Mr. Xanxus?" Kingsley arched his eyebrow. "Are you going to attack me, even
when I have the tag?"
Xanxus scrunched up his nose. "We're in the middle of nowhere. The Tanners can't control me here.
And nobody's gonna know that I killed you."
Kingsley clapped. "No wonder you're the King of South Nakson. You have guts." He then swiveled
around and said coldly, "But you got one thing wrong."
Xanxus' face fell. "What do you mean? What did I miss?"
Kingsley smiled. "I'm not alone."
A commotion happened outside the room, and Leoric came in with a dozen men, swarming the room.
"Boss!"
He came straight to Kingsley and bowed. He would help Kingsley out without any questions asked,

me. What's the situation?"
Leoric looked haggard and nervous. They were on Xanxus' turf, and a dozen men was not enough to
fight him. He could feel his heart race.
Kingsley smiled. "And I thought you wouldn't come. Aren't you afraid of Xanxus?"
"Hey, you called me. There's no way I wouldn't come." Leoric clenched his fists. "Say the word and I'll
fight Xanxus even if I can't win."
"You don't have to fight." Kingsley pointed at Xanxus, who looked furious. "Xanxus is right there.
There's no need to fight."
