Seeing the soldiers close the door at the Summers Residence’s exit, Randy and the others went from
heaven on earth to hell on earth almost instantly. In the next second, bullets and cannons were fired
from all directions at Summers Residence, along with the rain of firing rounds from the jets above the
building. In a matter of seconds, the building went up in flames just as the bombardment boomed the
surroundings and slowly reduced the structure to ashes.
In the meantime, Kingsley’s eyes lit up when he watched the burning flames that were engulfing the
Summers Residence. After all, the Nicholson Family met its end when it was burned down in flames 17
years ago. Therefore, to Kingsley, the flames that were burning the Summers Residence had just
marked the rebirth of the Nicholson Family. Nevertheless, Hades walked up to him and politely
expressed his worry. “Ares, I’m afraid we can never cover up what happened today, considering how it
turned out. For that, you might…”
Knowing what Hades’ concern was about, Kingsley replied, “Tell the public that—the Summers Family’s
downfall was because they committed treason, which was unforgivable. Mention nothing about the
Nicholson Family.”
“Understood, Ares! I’ll have our men spread the word around as you wish.”
While the soldiers were retreating after that, the bombardment caused turmoil among the bystanders
who were watching from far away and wondering what was going on. Therefore, Hades could see why
Kingsley wanted him to spread the word as soon as possible because that was the only way to stop
any untrue rumors from being disseminated. Meanwhile, Kingsley stood with his hands right behind his
back, staring at the debris on fire. “Now that this has been taken care of, it’s time for me to visit Mount
Rochwick to find my parents’ remains.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next day, Kingsley made a trip to Mount Rochwick, which was a famous place crowded with
tourists in Cleapolis. When Kingsley arrived, he was greeted by Leroy, who had been waiting for him.
As soon as they saw each other, Kingsley patted his friend’s shoulder and asked, “So, how are you
lately? Have you been managing your job well under Daniel?”
Leroy scratched his head and answered, “Vice President Robinson has been rather nice to me. So, I
guess I’m lucky to work for Coliree Group because it’s definitely better than working as a security guard
back at the model agency company.”
“I’d like to build a cemetery for the Nicholson Family, and I want to put you in charge. What do you say?
Do you think you can handle it?” Kingsley asked. After getting rid of the Summers Family, he wanted to
build a cemetery on the land on which the Nicholson Manor was built to honor his late parents.
Nonetheless, he didn’t want his identity as Ares to be associated with the Nicholson Family, so he
decided to let Leroy take care of the matter by acquiring the land as a mysterious buyer who would
later build Nicholson Family Cemetery.
“Of course!” Leroy reacted with an excited expression on his face. “This is my first mission after joining
Coliree Group! I swear I’ll do my best to complete it successfully.”
“Good.” Kingsley smiled. “But there is something I want you to know—I’m in a very sensitive position
after everything that happened, so you will not make yourself known as a part of Coliree Group.
Instead, you’ll be known as my assistant, Mr. Johnson. Is that understood?”
Leroy took a second to ponder before he caught on to Kingsley’s intention. “Wait a second. Are you
trying to dissociate Nicholson Family Cemetery from Coliree Group?”
“Exactly.” Kingsley nodded. In fact, he wanted to make sure the lines were clearly drawn between the
military, Coliree Group, and the Nicholson Family so that they didn’t appear to be interrelated.
Otherwise, he could risk exposing his identity to his enemies and making himself a sitting duck.
“Alright, I get you!” Leroy added, “I’m your assistant from now on and have nothing to do with Coliree
Group, boss.”
Kingsley patted his shoulder and replied, “Good. Let’s go now. We need to meet up with the person in
charge of Mount Rochwick.”
Meanwhile, Jerrick Kidman, the manager of Mount Rochwick’s tourism department, was busy with his
online dating ventures in his office, putting both of his feet on the desk. Suddenly, he was annoyed by a
knock on the door and put down his phone in frustration. “Who is there?”
Leroy pushed the door open and greeted the manager. “You must be Mr. Kidman, the manager of the
tourism department at Mount Rochwick, right? I have a proposition I’d like to offer you.”
Upon sizing up Leroy and Kingsley, who was standing behind the former, Jerrick tried to dismiss them
off impatiently. “You should have written a proposal and submitted it for approval before you came here,
so why don’t you two brats run along and play elsewhere?” When he was talking, he didn’t even bother
to take his feet off the desk. After all, he found it ridiculous for two young men in their twenties to
approach him with a proposal to make with Mount Rochwick’s tourism department.
However, Leroy didn’t seem to be concerned with Jerrick’s attitude. Instead, he responded with a
serious attitude and said, “Soon, I’ll bring in the construction team to commence their work around St.
Savior Church, so I have only come here to inform you because we’re going to proceed with our
decision with or without approval.”
“What are you talking about?!” Jerrick sat up straight in that instant. “Without the authority’s approval,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou are not allowed to bring in your construction team!” He then pointed at Leroy and started scolding
him harshly. “I’m warning you both! You’d better forget any funny monkey business you have in your
heads and get lost! Mount Rochwick is a property that belongs to the Jacob Family from Cleapolis! So,
if I were you, I wouldn’t ask for trouble by doing anything silly.”
The Jacob Family? It’s them again! Kingsley knitted his eyebrows, condemning those people deep
down for dooming Neveah Department Store’s fate by divesting their capital. What a small world! At
that moment, Kingsley felt the vibration from his phone and took a look at it, whereupon he shifted his
gaze to Jerrick and said, “The construction team is here, so I need to be away to supervise their
progress. If you are interested, you’re always welcome to tag along, Mr. Kidman.” As soon as he
finished his words, Kingsley directly walked away.
“Hey! Stop there!” Jerrick’s forehead was covered in cold sweats when he heard Kingsley’s words.
After all, it was after hearing Kingsley’s reply that he realized it was not a parody at all. Then, he
immediately put on his leather shoes and fixed his attire shortly before he hurriedly followed behind
Leroy and Kingsley. If anyone ever dares to conduct any construction work on Mount Rochwick, it’ll be
the end of my career! Running toward St. Savior, he reached for his phone and called his subordinate
in a panicky manner. “Hurry up! Gather everyone at St. Savior Church! Someone is trying to mess
around there.”
By the time Jerrick arrived at St. Savior and gasped for breath, he realized that the matter had become
more serious than he had imagined. He saw the church surrounded by construction hoardings without
expecting it to happen so soon. At the same time, a dozen construction vehicles were seen lined up at
the foot of the hill, while a few tow trucks appeared to be covered by the debris of the area’s entrance.
Thus, Jerrick could tell that the trucks had likely just rammed through the entrance by force.
