Anyone gutsy enough to provoke a family like that definitely would bit hesitate to kill a semi-martial king like him.
Kingsley nodded in approval. “Good. Then, from this moment forward, you’re temporarily free. You’ll stay here at West End and focus on training them.”
Reuben let out a quiet sigh of resignation. “So, can I at least move around freely?”
Kingsley said, “Sure. But don’t leave Leven West End. If even think you’re trying to escape, you already know what happens next. And you’d better not contact the Golding family either. If I find out, I’ll end you without ? warning.”
His tone was not cold or threatening-but to Reuben, it might as well have been a bolt of lightning.
This man was no joke. That much was clear.
Reuben silently reminded himself to do what Kingsley said no matter what anyone else told him.
Kingsley turned to Natasha. “Alright, take him and get him settled in. From now on, you two train under him. He’s a seasoned vet. He teach you more than you think.”
Natasha lit up with excitement and, along with Dylan, quickly stepped forward.
“Reuben, this way please,” she said respectfully.
Reuben’s status and strength were far above both Dylan and Natasha.
A semi-martial king was about as high as it got in Jayrodale. Getting him as a personal trainer? That was worth more than gold.
With the matter settled, the dungeon quieted down.
Kingsley took a few slow steps, heading toward the next holding cell.
Kingsley casually opened the cell door. As the loud thud echoed, Phantom Eye dropped to his knees without hesitation.
“Mr. Baldwin! I will follow your command-anytime, anywhere!” he said, bowing and knocking his head against the ground with utmost submission.
Kingsley let out a cold laugh. “Funny… I remember you saying something about snapping my neck once your wounds healed, right?”
Phantom Eye broke into a cold sweat. “No, no, no! I swear-I’d never dare say anything like that! Total misunderstanding!”
Kingsley replied coolly, “Relax. You’re not even worth arguing with. You’re free now. Come on out.”
Phantom Eye stood up in disbelief. “Mr. Baldwin, are you really letting me return to Blumedale?”
Kingsley looked at him like he was slow. “Which ear of yours heard me say you could leave?”
Phantom Eye’s face instantly fell. “But… you said I was free?”
Kingsley shrugged. “Yeah, I said you were free. I never said you could leave Jayrodale. That’s not my problem if you misunderstood.”
Phantom Eye swallowed hard and quickly shook his head. “Nope! No problem at all!”
However, in his heart, he was screaming, ‘Damn it! I’m about to end up just like Reuben-this guy’s personal lackey-stuck taking orders!’
After all, he was supposed to be one of the most feared names in Blumedale’s martial world. Yet, he had been reduced to being this devil’s lapdog in a backwater town like Jayrodale. Just thinking about it made him want to cry.
Kingsley thought for a moment and said, “Reuben’s training my people. As for you, you’ll work security.”
Phantom Eye blinked. Then, trying to stay calm, he said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Baldwin, I mean… I am kind of a big deal. I’ll do anything you ask, but security detail? Isn’t that a bit beneath me?”
Kingsley raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You think working security is beneath you?”
Phantom Eye protested, “Of course it is! I’m a semi-martial king! Are you seriously asking someone like me to work the front door? Even the top-tier families in Blumedale wouldn’t be that extravagant!”
Kingsley snapped, “Then quit whining and do what you’re told. And for the record, I’m not sending you to just any place. You’ll be working security at Moonlit Apothecary. Shiloh lives there now. You’ll be guarding the place and if she’s in a good mood, she might even make you her sidekick.”
Phantom Eye’s eyes lit up at the mention of her name. “Shiloh? Are you talking about that woman? The one who beat me senseless?”
Kingsley nodded. “That’s the one.”
Instantly, Phantom Eye’s sour attitude vanished. He grinned and said, “Well, if it’s her door I’m guarding, then I guess it’s not such a bad gig after all!”
Shiloh’s strength had left a lasting impression on him, and serving under someone powerful enough defeat him did not sound so bad now. Who knew? Maybe sticking close to her could lead to some lucky breakthrough.
The second he realized Shiloh was staying at the Moonlit Apothecary, Phantom Eye was all in.
“Alright then! Let’s head over now!”
With Phantom Eye in tow, Kingsley immediately set out for Moonlit Apothecary: He thought keeping two semi-martial kings locked up was just wasting potential, and killing them would have been a shame. Hence, he decided to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.
Neither Dylan nor Natasha could handle these two beasts, which was why Kingsley personally came down to West End-to get Reuben and Phantom Eye properly stationed.
Soon, he would be heading back to Blumedale. However, Jayrodale was his base of operations, and Moonlit Apothecary especially needed someone powerful to guard the gates.
That was also why he had chosen Phantom Eye to be in charge of the security.
At that exact moment, a small group walked through the front entrance of Moonlit Apothecary. Leading them was a clean-cut young man in a designer suit, radiating upper-class charm.
“Quinton Wright of the Wright family, Blumedale,” he announced with a smile. “Here to formally visit the owner of Moonlit Apothecary.”
On the way, Kingsley made a quick stop at the local shopping district with Phantom Eye.
“You’re seriously going with the security guard uniform?” Kingsley asked, raising a brow.
Phantom Eye nodded earnestly. “Yes, Mr. Baldwin. Since I’ve decided to guard the Moonlit Apothecary, I’ve got to look the part. No slacking on professionalism.” Kingsley smirked. “You’re doing all this to impress Shiloh, aren’t you?”
Phantom Eye’s old face flushed with embarrassment. “Caught red-handed, huh? Yes, that’s exactly it! Ms. Greene is powerful beyond belief. If she sees me in uniform, working the gate like a proper man, maybe just maybe she’ll think more kindly of me.”
Kingsley did not say much after that. He bought Phantom Eye the uniform and waited while he changed. Once he was suited up, they got back in the car and headed straight for Moonlit Apothecary.
It was not long before they arrived. After parking, Kingsley led Phantom Eye-now proudly dressed in his fresh security outfit-into the building.
However, the moment they stepped through the door, a mocking voice rang out.
“You Aickers better know your place! Mr. Wright taking an interest in your little family business should be an honor.”
Cedric’s voice responded with tightly restrained anger. “With all due respect, Mr. Wright, the Aickers may be small, but we still have our pride. We’re not interested in selling our Vitality Pills or Titan Essence Pills-no matter how much pressure you bring.”
Francesca added coldly, “Shawn, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect you to end up as someone’s lapdog. Hmph, you’re from Jayrodale, just like us. Now you’re back here bringing people from Blumedale to bully the Aickers? You don’t feel even a little bit ashamed?”
Shawn scoffed. “Francesca, so what if I’m bullying the Aickers? See Mr. Wright standing here? With a snap of his fingers, he could erase your entire family from this town.”
Kingsley scoffed as he entered the hall.
Phantom Eye’s face darkened too, and he thought, ‘Damn it! It’s my first day on the job, and there’s already trouble? Perfect. Time to make an impression.’ “Excuse us,” Kingsley said flatly.
The hallway was packed with over 20 people. He did not bother asking questions -he just pushed straight through.
Several people stumbled back, barely keeping their footing.
One of them spun around, furious. “Who the hell do you think you are? How dare shove Mr. Wright! Do you have a death wish?”
Just as the guy finished his sentence, Kingsley already slapped him across the face.
Stunned and holding his cheek, Shawn shouted in disbelief, “Kingsley! So you finally showed your face!”
He turned to the well-dressed man beside him and gritted his teeth. “Mr. Wright, that’s him-the freeloader told you about. The loser Kingsley Baldwin By the way, he’s also the one who beat up your younger brother Winston!”
However, Kingsley did not even acknowledge the group. He walked past them and headed straight to Cedric, Francesca, and Nyla.
“Kingsley, you’re here! These guys have been stirring up trouble all morning!” Nyla said excitedly as she rushed to update him.
Francesca’s round face was flushed with anger. “Kingsley, the Wright family from Blumedale is trying to pressure my grandfather into handing over your Titan Essene
Pill and Vitality Pill. They’re here to force a deal.”
Kingsley glanced at the three of them and said calmly, “Don’t worry. I’ve got this.”
Then, he finally turned to face Quinton, Shawn, and their entourage.
Shawn sneered. “Didn’t expect this, huh, Kingsley? I’m back in Jayrodale.”
Kingsley’s voice was ice cold. “I really didn’t expect it. You surely have the nerve and don’t know when to stay gone.”
Shawn’s temper flared. “Don’t you dare act smug! I’ve made a name for myself in Blumedale now. You seez the man next to me? That’s Mr. Quinton Wright-my boss. And he’s got his eyes on Moonlit Apothecary… and both of those miracle pills you made.”
Shawn shouted, “Then you know exactly what to do, right?”
Kingsley said flatly, “If you’re gonna act like someone’s lapdog, then do it properly. Don’t go around pretending you’re the boss. Shawn, you’re getting more pathetic by the day!”
Shawn was so furious he could barely breathe. “You son of a…”
Just then, the handsome and obviously loaded Quinton finally spoke up. He calmly raised a hand to stop Shawn from snapping and looked at Kingsley with a charming smile.
He said, “You’re Kingsley, right? Let me introduce myself. I’m Quinton, the eldest son of the Blumedale Wright family. You may not know much about me, but I’m sure you’ve heard of my younger brother, Winston.
“He had a rough time back in Jayrodale. Not only did you humiliate him in front of everyone, but you even forced him to swallow a lethal pill.”
A flash of cold light flickered in Quinton’s eyes as he spoke.
Kingsley responded casually, “So, what, you’re here to avenge Winston now?”
Quinton shook his head and gave a short, cold laugh. “The Wright family is one of the Five Apex Families. We’re built on honor. If someone gets humiliated, it’s on them to earn their dignity back.
“Sure, I feel bad for Winston. He got beat and crushed by you. But I, Quinton, am not the type to coddle him. I believe that one day, he’ll redeem himself and earn back his pride.”
Kingsley gave a mocking smile. “Then you’re way too optimistic. He’s a complete loser. If he dares come at me again, I’ll crush him again. If he doesn’t know when to stop, I’ll break him so hard he’ll question his entire existence.”
Shawn exploded. “Mr. Wright, I told you! This bastard is beyond arrogant and full of himself! There’s no point in talking to him. Just give the order-we’ll tear down this Moonlit Apothecary and grind him into the dirt! Let’s see how smug he looks when he’s on his knees begging for our mercy!”
Francesca gritted her teeth. “Shawn, you’re nothing but a bully hiding behind someone stronger. If you’re so tough, why don’t you take him down yourself? Go on, give it a shot.”
Shawn’s face turned bright red. If he actually had the strength, he would’ve made a move a long time ago. He would not have waited until now.
The only reason he dared return to Jayrodale to stir up trouble was because he had latched onto Quinton’s coattails. Without Quinton backing him, he did not even have the guts to face Kingsley.
Quinton, still keeping his gentlemanly demeanor, smiled patiently. I’ve always preferred making money over making enemies. Fighting isn’t really my style. Don’t worry, I’m not here to throw around the Wright family name to pressure anyone.”
He turned to Kingsley and said, “I heard that the Vitality Pill and the Titan Essence Pill are your creations, correct?”
Kingsley replied calmly, “Maybe they are, maybe they’re not. What does it matter? Mr. Wright, if you’re into peaceful business deals, then take that energy somewhere else. You’re not welcome here at Moonlit Apothecary.”
A shadow passed through Quinton’s eyes. He thought Kingsley really was as arrogant and ignorant as Winston and Shawn had described.
