I am the ruler of all novel (Kingsley) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202
The old man was an ordinary beggar in his sixties. Just like his appearance, he was holding a dirty rag as he walked toward Alex and the others.
They didn’t bother to spare him a glance. In their opinion, the old man couldn’t even be considered an average human like them; he was merely a bug whom they could step on without giving another look.
At the same time, Alex was immersed in his role as a rich kid. So, none of them noticed the old man’s arrival.
He finally came back to his senses when he heard a scratching sound.
He turned to the noise and found an old man with poor hygiene was using a rag in a similar condition to wipe his car. The sound of the rough rag rubbing across the smooth surface of the car was enough to break his heart.
“What the f*ck! What the hell are you doing?” Alex’s eyes turned bloodshot at the scene as if they could bleed.
The old man grinned at Alex and said airily, “I’m cleaning the car. Please, spare some coins for me…”
At that, he reached his hands toward Alex with open palms and waited for the money.
“F*ck off!” Driven by rage, Alex gave the old man a kick on the stomach.
The old man was brought to the ground by his kick and moaned painfully.
“Bro! You’re too rough!” Levi and his friends enjoyed the scene unfolding before them as they laughed on the side. “Check if he made a scratch on the car. You can break each of his bones with each scratch. It’s only fair.”
As the old man heard their decision on his fate, he got up from the ground to beg for his life. He bowed his head to touch the ground repeatedly. “I won’t do that anymore! I won’t! Please don’t hurt me… Please…”
Alex bent down to check on the car meticulously. After a while, he regained his stance and let out a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, the car’s fine.”
“That’s good.” Gregory said disdainfully, “Let’s chase him away. I feel sick looking at him.”
“He’s not going anywhere that easily!” A glint of cruelty flashed in Alex’s eyes. “He almost left a scratch on my car! He’s not getting away from it!”
“What are you going to do?” Levi stood there with folded arms; a hint of amusement was found in his tone. “I say we kill him. Nobody cares for a beggar.”
Alex was taken aback by the suggestion. His plan originally was no more than beating up the old man. Nevertheless, to his surprise, Levi was thinking about killing the bum.
“All right!” He thought that the suggestion was a regular thing the rich kids would do, and he made up his mind. If I waver, I could expose myself.
“Hell yeah!” The crowd cheered on him with applause. “We are going to enjoy a good show!”
“Alex! How about you hit him with the car? At least he can have a luxurious end to his poor life!”
“I agree! If something happens, I’ll pay for the repair service.”
Their words were enough to convince Alex. Speaking through gritted teeth, he was full of determination. “If so, I’m going to present a good show for you guys!”
At that, he got back into the car and started it.
The roaring of the engine caught others’ attention.
Levi anticipated it. “Hell yeah! He’s going to hit the old man!”
Beside him, Gregory whispered, “Levi, you had enough fun already. Don’t get him in trouble.”
“Don’t worry about that. That guy isn’t stupid, either. He’ll not do it.” He laughed. “He’s our sort of person. He’s just acting for fun and will get out of the car soon.”
His friends around him agreed, “That’s right! We’re always bluffing like that! He can’t be an idiot who believes our words!”
“Nah. We aren’t going against the rules for trash. He should know something as simple as that.”
Alas, Alex wasn’t thinking logically at all. He was an absolute idiot as he took their words as fact.
For now, he was in the driver’s seat as the engine roaring had given him motivation. “The old man is only a beggar! I can kill him. I’m gonna kill him!”
At that, he let out a growl and hit the gas with all his might.
