I Am the Ruler of All

Elijah was pale. "Nonsense! You're making groundless accusations!"
Beside him, Ysabel shrieked. "He's right! You made up the story!"
"It's up to you to believe what you like. I'm not wasting my time on you." Alex shrugged as he rolled his eyes at them in contempt.
"I'm going to rent a car for the Kean Corporation's banquet tomorrow night. After that, you can go on with your dreams."
Henry agreed with him, "You're right. There will be many big shots at the banquet tomorrow. We mustn't screw things up. A
luxury car is important for our image."
Alex went to a car rental service and rented three cars for his family with the permission of Henry. As for himself, he rented the
most expensive car available, which was a Lamborghini Aventador, for his ride tomorrow.
The next day, he drove in the Lamborghini to Marley Hotel. The vehicle caught a lot of attention when he parked it in the parking
lot.
He thoroughly enjoyed the attention and lifted his chin with pride, as if he wasn't driving a car he rented but a car he bought
himself.
For a moment, he stood there as though he was one of the top rich kids. His ego was at its peak, especially when the women
dressed in revealing outfits were looking at him with alluring eyes.
"Wow! That car's so cool!" Someone exclaimed. As Alex turned to the source, he saw some young men dressed in luxury brands
walking toward him.
They're a bunch of rich kids who followed their family elders to attend the banquet. So, when they saw the Lamborghini drive into
the parking lot, they joined each other on their way as they couldn't wait to meet its driver.
"It's a special edition from last year! It's around 10 million for the 6.5-liter V12 engine!"
Someone was eyeing him up and down. "I haven't seen you before. I take it you aren't a local?"

The person who spoke was none other than Levi Stein, the young master of Ramada Corporation, a genuine wealthy second
generation in Cleapolis.
His older brother, Hugo, was diagnosed as a vegetative patient after getting kicked by Kingsley. Furthermore, the Ramada Hotel
under Ramada Corporation was also acquired by the Coliree Group. Even so, the Stein Family still stood firmly among other
families in Cleapolis.
Levi stared at Alex with curiosity. I would have known it if there's a rich guy that drives Aventador in Cleapolis, he thought.
The possibility of Alex renting a car never entered his mind. After all, to think that their sort of people would rent a car was
humiliating.
Even though they felt like driving a different car, they would borrow it from a friend as well. However, if that were not possible,
they would consider buying a new one as there must be enough space in the garage to store the cars.
Others were thinking about the same, so none of them doubted him. Instead, they all took him as a rich kid from another city who
had come to worship the God of War.
Alex stuttered as he didn't have the courage to make eye contact with any of them. "My family's business is just making a name.
B-Besides, I bought the car recently... "
At that moment, a chubby guy walked out from the crowd and asked, "Y-You're Alex, right? I'm Gregory Miller! We went to the
same middle school!"
"G-Gregory?" He stiffened. "I-It's been a long time... "
Not now for an acquaintance! His legs were shaking uncontrollably at the scene. It'll be so humiliating if I'm exposed!
Just as Alex was panicking about his fate, Gregory strode toward him and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Alex, I can't
believe it! I haven't seen you for so long. You have grown into a successful man who drives an expensive car!"

Levi joined in their conversation, "Since you know each other, we're friends now. You've become one of us from now on!"
"F-Friends?" It was a surprise to hear that! Alex wondered. If I can become one of them, then I can start building up my network
of people.
Levi continued his words to ease his worries. "Don't worry. Most of us come from new money, so we won't judge you on your
background."
The crowd behind him responded with enthusiasm.
"He's right! The most important thing is we have the money! We don't care about 'when'!"
"That's it! Not to mention being one from new money, we won't mind even if you earned your money from the dirty business."
Alex felt at ease after their comforts; he felt incredibly confident that he was born to become one of them.
Just then, an old man dressed in rags walked toward them.
