The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power
Chapter 408

Big droplets of cold sweat flowed down Arnold's forehead as he held his chest, and his lips were also turning blue due to lack of oxygen. "My... Meds..."

Then, he fished out a bottle of instant cardio reliever pills with trembling hands and poured them all into his mouth without care!

When he could finally take a deep breath, the color gradually returned to his face.

When Eric saw how shocked Arnold was, he thought it was ridiculous. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you know this b*stard?"

"Shut up, you rascal!" The fatty flesh on Arnold's face jiggled uncontrollably as he shouted angrily, "If you f*cking say one more word, I'll break your leg!"

"I"

Eric had a look of confusion painted across his face as his lips parted to protest. Still, he knew it would only make matters worse, so he said nothing in the end.

Kingsley casually tossed Eric aside, making the foolish heir stagger backward. Then, Kingsley turned to Arnold and said with a smile, "We meet again, Mr. Yorkshire. Thanks for opening a path for my sister." "T-That's nothing at all..." Arnold croaked, trembling. "Mr. Nicholson, I—"

Before he could continue, Kingsley waved his hand. "We'll talk about this issue later. It's already 1.00PM. Please don't hold up Mrs. Hewitt's birthday banquet."

"Yes, you're right..." Arnold wiped off the cold sweat upon his brow and quickly deduced that Kingsley didn't want to steal the show and hurriedly said, "You have a point. We shouldn't delay Mrs. Hewitt's birthday celebration..."

The sight of Arnold walking on thin ice rendered everyone utterly baffled. They couldn't help but mutter among themselves, "What's wrong with Mr. Yorkshire? Why does it seem like he's terrified of this young man?"

"I don't think he's terrified. After all, this is Mrs. Hewitt's birthday banquet. He's probably afraid of Mr. Hewitt and the other senior officers."

"But... Mr. Yorkshire's voice shook when he spoke with that young man!"

"That's because he's unhealthy! Didn't you see him taking his meds? That's what happens to overweight people. They get breathless easily!"

The people exchanged their opinions in a discussion, and soon, they came up with an explanation that seemed very reasonable.

When Eric heard their arguments, he came to a sudden realization as well and pointed a finger at Kingsley. "You're a lucky b*stard! Once the banquet is over, I'll definitely-"

He had yet to finish his sentence when Arnold slapped the back of his head. "Shut up, you little piece of sh*t! Once the banquet is over, you're going home to be punished!" Then, he turned to Walter and the rest, saying politely, "I'm sorry, everyone. I failed to teach my son well..."

The mayor cast him a long, deep look of warning before raising his voice and saying, "Let the banquet begin, then! It's Mrs. Hewitt's birthday, after all!" Heston clasped his hands together as he chuckled heartily. "Yes. Let's take our seats, everyone!"

While he ushered the people into their seats, he was grinning so widely that the edges of his lips were almost touching his ears! He knew that Kingsley didn't teach Eric a lesson or allow Arnold to reveal his identity because he didn't want to steal the main show at Loretta's birthday banquet.

However, once this banquet is over, Kingsley will definitely not let Eric off. This might even implicate the entire Sunrise Corporation, causing the entire business empire to overnight! he thought with barely concealed triumph and glee.

Will was seated right next to him, so naturally, he had a front-row seat to his father's unspoken thoughts. Nevertheless, they were attending Mrs. Hewitt's birthday banquet, so they needed to be on their best behavior. So, he whispered urgently, "Dad, keep your facial expression in check."

Heston chuckled sheepishly as he said in a hushed tone, "I'm just thrilled to be seated at the same table as Mr. Nicholson!"

Although he wasn't loud, it was just enough for Kingsley, who was next to him, to hear everything clearly, and he smirked. "Mr. Maslow, I truly have to thank you for placing me at the main table of the banquet." "You're most welcome. It's an honor to be seated together with you!" he answered pleasantly.

Meanwhile, Arnold's face turned more somber than words could describe as he watched the both of them chatting with smiles on their faces. Alas, he couldn't do anything to vent his frustration, so he took it out on Eric instead as he hissed through gritted teeth, "What the f*ck happened? Why were you in a fight with Will and that man?"
