I Am the Ruler of All

Two dozen burly, muscular men got out of the vans behind Baron. They were the elites among the elites of Baron's men, and
they had climbed their way up through the underground ring. Not only were they powerful, but they also had a murderous air
about them. Just looking at them was enough to intimidate anyone. Baron waved his hand and announced, "Greet your boss,
boys."
The burly men bowed and bellowed, "Hello, boss!"
They certainly did make a ruckus. All the pedestrians were scared, and they gave them a wide berth. Nobody wanted to get near
a group of guys who looked like murderers. At the same time, Jude and Beau were standing beside the window. When they
witnessed that, they almost pissed their pants.
"H-He's also the boss of a gang?"
"Whoa, holy sh*t. We almost died yesterday."
Kingsley had no idea that both of them were staring at him in horror. He nodded at Baron with satisfaction and siad, "Good. Let's
go. We're going to the urban village in northern Cleapolis."
When the vans exited the city center, Baron asked tentatively, "Boss, are we attacking Jeanne this time?"
"Jeanne? One of the Seven Legends?"
"Yeah, and the only woman among us. Northern Cleapolis is her turf." Baron looked like he was in a dilemma. "We are the Seven
Legends after all, so it would be bad if we attacked her just like that. We should go for diplomacy first."
Kingsley laughed. "I never said I was gonna attack her. I'm searching for someone there, and that's what your men are gonna
do."
"That's good to hear." Baron patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. "Victoria Jeanne is one crazy b*tch. I don't wanna get
on her bad side."

Kingsley noticed Baron's mutterings and he froze. "Hold it. What was her name again?"
"V-Victoria Jeanne..." Baron had no idea why Kingsley got so worked up, and he was nervous. "S-She's the boss of a tea shop
called Jeanne D'Arc, or that's the story she tells everyone, but she's actually one of the Seven Legends."
That took Kingsley back to the first time he met Reene. She had told him, "Victoria's running a tea shop. Well, technically a tea
shop." No wonder Reene didn't tell me much about her. So Victoria is one of the Seven Legends!
Baron noticed the weird look on Kingsley's face, and he was curious. "Do you know her, boss?"
Kingsley did not hide anything and replied, "She's one of my sisters."
Baron gasped. Looks like I gotta get along with Jeanne now. "Boss, if Je—Miss Jeanne is your sister, this search is going to be a
snap," he said. "We Legends don't keep in touch, but I know the whole northern area is her turf. She knows this place better than
I do."
"No." Kingsley shook his head. "This is too dangerous. I won't drag her into this until I catch those b*stards. And keep your
mouth shut. Don't tell her who I am."
Holy sh*t. I can smell the double standard here! You're concerned about Victoria, but not me? Boss, that's so unfair. Baron
gulped and asked carefully, "May I ask a question, boss? Who are you looking for, anyway?"
"Some guys from Sweoya." Kingsley looked at him. "Once we get to that village, send your guys out to talk with the local thugs.
See if there are any Sweoyans acting strangely. The village isn't big, so it should be easy to locate a foreigner. And remember,
don't alert them."
Beads of sweat formed on Baron's forehead. "B-Boss, is it really okay to catch a foreigner?"
"That's not your job," Kingsley answered. "You guys are on recon duty. Once you confirm the enemy's location, my men and I will
capture them." Worried, he repeated, "Do not alert them and just find out where they are. Those guys are probably armed. You
can't beat them without guns."
