The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 22

As they entered the Summers Residence, Kingsley's expression was cold as he looked at the lavishly decorated mansion. This was supposed to be his house, after all!

The Summers Family occupied their house and were currently living comfortably, whereas his parents had been beheaded and killed in the fire. Until today, their remains were undiscovered. Such stark differences made him loathe the Summers Family to the core.

Noticing his expression, Gavin looked at him with an elusive expression and asked, "My friend, I haven't gotten your name yet."

Kingsley Nicholson."

"Nicholson?! Is Xavier Nicholson your father?" As soon as Gavin heard Kingsley's name, he was surprised.

"How did you know?" Kingsley was shocked to hear his father's name being mentioned by someone else after seventeen years! NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Gavin was really emotional as he gushed, "I

knew it! His son is still alive!"

Kingsley immediately raised his guard. He then looked at him and questioned, "Why do you know my father's name? Who are you?"

"My name is Gavin Tanner, and I'm your father's friend."

"You're from the Tanner Family?"

"That's right. The head of the Tanner Family is my father."

When Gavin sensed Kingsley's skepticism, he sighed and continued, "Why would the heir to the Tanner Family come to Cleapolis just to discuss business with the mere Summers Family?"

"Did you come because of my father?" Kingsley seemed to guess his motive.

"That's right. I was abroad when Xavier and your mother passed on, and by the time I came back to Cleapolis to look for them, this place had already become Summers Residence."

Gavin continued, "Although I could've used the Tanner Family's authority to get rid of the Summers Family, I had to find out the truth about Xavier's death. That's why I'm using the business discussion as a reason to come here and investigate the truth behind the fire."

Although Kingsley looked calm, he was touched by Gavin's words. He was glad that there was actually someone in this world who wanted to avenge his father's death!

"Kingsley, my father will be coming to Tanner Mansion in Cleapolis soon. I'll bring you along to meet him when he comes, for he will be a great help to you in the future."

"You want me to meet the head of the Tanner Family?" Kingsley was surprised when he heard that. Within the Northern District, Henrich Turner's status was described as the underworld king since no one had ever gotten a glimpse of him even if they went through great lengths to do so.

"What did my father do? What is his relationship with the Tanner Family?" Kingsley frowned as he asked. It was unusual that Gavin would treat him that well, so perhaps his father had an unusual identity that he didn't know of!

"Your father... was an outstanding man. For your safety, there are some things that you shouldn't know," Gavin responded hesitantly. He then patted Kingsley's shoulder and said,

"Let's go. The banquet is about to start."

Since Gavin was reluctant to tell him the truth, Kingsley decided to stop probing. He believed that he would be able to dig out the truth sooner or later using his identity as Ares, after all!

The Summers Mansion banquet hall was crowded with people of high society that looked dapper in their luxurious attire. Kingsley looked out of place in his casual clothes, but no one dared to tell him off as he was sitting next to Gavin. They simply looked at him with disdain as they felt that it was an insult to them to be sitting at the same table as him.

Shortly after, Randy walked up the main stage gleefully and announced, "Thank you all for attending my birthday banquet. Please forgive me if there's any inconvenience caused."

Everyone in the hall responded, "It's our honor to be invited to your fiftieth birthday banquet..."

Kingsley merely smirked and judged Randy for having a grand birthday banquet even though he was just fifty years old as if he was worried that Death would forget about him.

Soon after, Randy approached Kingsley's table with a wine glass in his hand before gushing, "Mr. Tanner, it is a great honor to have you at my birthday banquet! Cheers!"

Gavin merely batted an eyelid at him and responded impassively, "I don't drink."

Gavin's response was a humiliation to Randy. He merely kept quiet as his face was flushed red with shame. He smiled awkwardly before returning to the main stage, feeling defeated.

When he noticed his father's expression, Caleb glanced over and grabbed Kayla before saying, "You mentioned that the top model from your agency is here. Bring her over to cheer my dad up!" "She's too aloof to agree to do such a thing.

If not for our Chairman's demand, she wouldn't have even accepted this gig," Kayla responded.

"You're such a fool! Just come up with some excuse and get her here. By then, it would be hard for her to refuse in front of everyone," urged Caleb as he slapped her bottom.

At the same time, in the models' lounge at the back of Summers Residence, one of the models was unhappy with the arrangements. She was a tall and slender beauty. As she removed her red stilettos, she rubbed her foot that was covered with her pantyhose and complained, "How could they let us professional models attend to guests just because they can afford to hire us?"

If Kingsley was here, he would have easily recognized that the sexy and beautiful model was Yulia Ansley—his fifth sister!

"Shh, you should stop complaining!" One of the models sitting beside her made a hand gesture, signaling her to stop talking.

"Summers Corporation is a big enterprise in Cleapolis. Did you see the luxury cars parked in front of the mansion? The owners of the cars had to depend on the Summers Family to earn a living!"

Right after that, Kayla suddenly pushed the door open and entered the room before saying vaguely, "Yulia, you should go to the banquet hall. Something has happened."

"What is it? Hasn't the guest reception ended?"
