All the color drained from Kyle's face as soon as he heard what Will said.

"That can't be..." Kyle stammered fearfully. "The person he called earlier was you, Will?"

As soon as he said that, the crowd went agape. Everyone stared at Kingsley in disbelief. None of them could figure out why a disheveled-looking loser like him would be able to summon the heir of Scarlet Heart Group with just one phone call. They were even more astonished by how terrified Will was of him.

Those who had been making a mockery of Kingsley before suddenly became very quiet.

The truth was clear for all to see.

Kingsley was not some beggar at all. In fact, he was far more potent than any one of them could possibly imagine. A man who could strike fear into the heart of Scarlet Heart Group's heir, Will Maslow, would not be an ordinary person.

Even Courtney and Elaine shared similar expressions of shock. Elaine gazed at Kingsley with eyes full of curiosity, along with a trace of admiration.

On the other hand, Courtney raised her eyebrows. Kingsley's all grown up now. He is no longer the snot-dripping kid who tried to take my candy from me...

She decided to give Kingsley a thorough questioning once all this was over. She wanted to know what he went through in the last ten years.

Everyone remained frozen in shock. Will tugged Kyle by the collar and dragged him over to Kingsley.

"Mr. Nicholson..." Will swallowed his saliva and continued respectfully, "My impudent brother has offended you.

Please accept our apologies for his disrespectful actions."

Having said that, he raised his leg and kicked Kyle in the back of the knee.

"Ow!" Kyle shrieked in pain before falling to his knees. "Will, what are you doing..."

However, he stopped right in his tracks and started gaping in silence. He swallowed the rest of his words back down his throat.

Kyle's shock and disbelief caused his eyes to pop out of his head. Seeing Will kneel alongside him right after he had dropped to his knees, he was dumbfounded.

His brother, the Maslows' oldest son, had been handpicked as their father's heir since he was a child. He was regarded as the top second-generation nouveau riche in Diosna City and even the entire Solaris Province. Even so, he was kneeling in front of a man who looked like a total loser.

Kyle was so shaken up by his anxiety that he felt his heart had stopped beating, and he could not utter a single word.

The other young men from wealthy families who stood behind Kyle were awestruck by what they saw. They were at a loss for what to do, and their legs began to feel like jelly as they contemplated whether or not to kneel down with the two Maslow brothers. After exchanging a fleeting gaze, everyone kneeled in a submissive position, bowed, and couldn't even look Kingsley in the eyes.

Even the Scarlet Heart Group's Young Masters were on their knees. They didn't even have the nerve to keep standing.

Furthermore, they had also mocked and taunted Kingsley just moments ago.

There's not much hope for them in the future if Kingsley decides to punish them for what they said.

These young, wealthy men were sometimes reckless daredevils, but they were not fools. They came to the conclusion that Kingsley was not someone they should meddle with after observing Will treat Kingsley with the utmost respect. After what had happened, nobody thought they could get away with anything. They all did the same thing and got on their knees in front of Kingsley.

The crowd gasped when they saw what was happening in front of them. They immediately put their hands over their mouths to prevent themselves from making any additional noises due to their shock. Even if some were biting their tongues, none dared to speak up anymore. They appeared as though they couldn't believe what they were seeing and exuded a sense of complete and utter shock.

A group of young men from wealthy families previously stood around haughtily, waiting for people to kneel to them. Now, it was them who were on their knees.

Everyone was shocked by how quickly things changed.

Will grabbed Kyle by the shirt and said to Kingsley with respect, "I promise you, Mr. Nicholson. I'll immediately take care of this ignorant jerk when I get home. I implore you to show some benevolence, even if it's just this once. Please do not vent your frustrations on Scarlet Heart Group!"

He turned to Kyle and smacked the back of his head as he hollered, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr.

Nicholson!"
