The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 27

Even Kingsley, the supreme commander who commanded the twelve military districts of Qustia, was surprised to see it! The forces within the underworld and the military were different as one was made up of lawless criminals, while the latter was part of the government. It hadn't been easy for him to track down foreign spies since he couldn't engage the army to investigate openly. Now that he had the Northern Draken Tag, things would be more convenient for him.

"Once you possess the Northern Draken Tag, the lives of the people within the Northern Underworld of Qustia will be in your hands. With great power comes great responsibility. Thus, you shouldn't take people's lives unnecessarily," Henry advised solemnly.

"You said something wrong earlier, old man." Kingsley grinned.

"What did I say wrong?"

As Kingsley picked up a white chess piece, he explained, "Earlier on, you mentioned that I play chess very aggressively with the strong intention to topple my opponent. However, having true grit is key to winning chess. Even if I win, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm overly aggressive. The killing is shown on the outside, but my underlying strategizing has gone unnoticed by you."

"You little brat! You dared ask me to surrender, but I'm not allowed to teach you a lesson in return?" Henry slammed on the table.

"Sure, sure. Please go ahead with it." Since Henry was sixty years older than him, he was considered elderly. Out of respect, he wouldn't try to oppress him using his identity as Ares. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"That's it. Get out of my sight this instant! You are an eyesore!" Henry chided before closing his eyes and ignoring Kingsley.

When the latter walked out of the room, the Tanner siblings went up to him immediately. "Are you alright? Did my father do anything to you?" Gavin asked worriedly.

Just then, an old woman in her sixties walked over from the other end of the corridor and told them off in a serious tone. "It is now his bedtime. You guys should have your discussion elsewhere," she said.

"Yes, Aunty Helen," the three of them answered and brought Kingsley to the living room on the first floor after that.

As they sat on the couch, Gavin asked Kingsley impatiently, "Kingsley, what did my father tell you?" The other two Tanner siblings were eager to know the answer to that as well.

Kingsley took the brocade box, which was the size of his palm out from his pocket, and placed it on the coffee table before saying, "Here, he gave me this." Gavin lifted the box and opened it. "This is —"

Looking at the words 'Northern Draken Order' written on the tag, Gavin was stupefied.

"What is it? Can we have a look at it?"

When they saw how surprised Gavin was, both of them bent forward to get a closer look at it. "F*ck!" George, who was usually calm, couldn't help but swear when he saw those three words. "I- Isn't this the Northern Draken Tag?"

Chermaine asked in astonishment, "Oh my, did my father really give you the Northern Draken Tag?"

"He lost the game. I suppose this is my reward." Kingsley nodded.

The three of them were speechless upon hearing that. Surrendering the Northern Draken Tag that could warrant its owner the authority to command the underworld just by losing a game of chess?

Wasn't that a joke?

After a while, Gavin closed the box carefully and passed it to Kingsley. "Kingsley, my father must have his reasons for passing the tag to you. Therefore, you shouldn't let him down. The Tanner Family has a very strong base. Even though we do not have the tag, we wouldn't be affected by it in the short run." A hint of despair could be detected in his tone.

"Don't worry about it, Uncle Gavin. I'll return the Northern Draken Tag to you once I'm done playing with it." Kingsley smiled. Since he was Ares, the God of War

who commanded millions of troops, he wasn't willing to be the commander of the underworld as it didn't interest him. Once he had exterminated the foreign spies, he would naturally return the tag.

The Tanner siblings seemed relieved after hearing his words. Although the world 'play' sounded inappropriate, they were glad that the Tanner Family's authority would be preserved.

Chermaine held Kingsley's hands while saying enthusiastically, "Since it's already late, you should stay here tonight instead of driving back to the city."

Kingsley agreed to it as he nodded.

"Since there's not much room in this mansion, you can sleep in my niece's room tonight since she's away," Chermaine chirped.

"Your niece? Is it Uncle Gavin's daughter?"

"She is George's daughter. Her name is Paige Tanner." Chermaine led him to one of the rooms on the second floor and said, "This is Paige's room. Have a good rest."

After Chermaine left, Kingsley took a hot shower and went to bed naked as he couldn't find any clean clothes to wear. The next morning, a sudden whipping sound was heard before the blanket on

Kingsley was pulled off. It woke him up, and he immediately got off the bed. As he covered his crotch with his hands, he looked at the lady standing in front of him and asked in surprise, "Who are you? How did you get in?
