I am the ruler of all novel (Kingsley) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360

If Professor Albright had a flawed character, Kingsley wouldn't enlist his help—even if the former's skills were 100 years ahead of Coliree Island's. This was because Kingsley knew that a partner with a disreputable character might bring incalculable losses to his own side.

Seeing his grave expression, Elaine said with a smile, "Do you happen to have chosen one of my dad's classes? Haha, don't worry. He only has a weird temper, as well as some problems with his lifestyle. He's stubborn, prone to get angry, and sexist, but he absolutely isn't a bad guy."

"Uh… Is it okay for you to speak of your dad like this?" Kingsley didn't know whether to laugh or to frown at her words. This lady really doesn't treat me as an outsider, huh… He decided that the most appropriate thing to do would be to contact Professor Albright himself. Firstly, hearsay was undependable, and seeing was believing, so he had to judge for himself whether Professor Albright was a bad guy or not. Secondly, he had to confirm whether the latter was really the leader of The Anonymous whom he was looking for. After all, everything he knew now was merely his conjecture. It remained to be confirmed whether Professor Albright was the leader of The Anonymous or not.

He glanced at his watch and realized that it was almost 9:00PM now. "Miss Albright, at what time are the dormitories of your university closed?" If the door to Courtney's dorm was locked when he arrived, he would've come here for nothing.

"Your university?" Elaine asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you a student of Solaris University?"

"I've said at the restaurant just now that I'm not a student of Solaris University," Kingsley replied. "I'm here to visit my seventh sister."

Elaine replied, "I thought you lied to him that you weren't a student of the university because you were afraid that he'd give you a hard time."

Kingsley rubbed his chin. "I'm not afraid of him, nor do I have to lie to him either."

"Haha… You don't have to be afraid of him, of course! You're not a student of the university," Elaine replied with a smile. "The dormitories in our university are closed at 11:30PM. Which dormitory do you want to go? Let me take you there."

Kingsley took out his cell phone and found the text message Reene had sent him. He read, "The Information Security course at Solaris University's Faculty of Computer Science… Room 1205 of Block Jasmine."

"Pffft! Cough! Cough…" Hearing the address he read aloud, Elaine choked on her saliva and coughed repeatedly. "Room 1205 of Block Jasmine? That's my dorm room! Who is your seventh sister?"

"My seventh sister is called Courtney Bullock." Kingsley was surprised, too. "Don't tell me there's such a coincidence."

Elaine laughed at once. "Turns out you're Court's brother! You should've told me earlier! Court and I are best friends!"

With Courtney being a mutual friend, Elaine and Kingsley instantly grew closer. Elaine asked with a smile, "So, what's your name, brother?"

"Uh…" Kingsley couldn't help being rendered speechless when he heard Elaine call him like that. "I'm Kingsley Nicholson."

"Your surname is Nicholson?" Elaine asked in puzzlement. "Are you Court's cousin?"

"Nope, we grew up together in the orphanage," Kingsley replied honestly.

Elaine's eyes froze when she heard this. Only now did she learn that Courtney had actually grown up in an orphanage. Her eyes showed a hint of sympathy as she said, "No wonder. No wonder Court is so thrifty and compassionate…"

"Thrifty?" Kingsley turned slightly pale. "Is she living on a tight budget or something?"

"No, that's not the case." Elaine explained, "Your eldest sister and fourth sister always wire her a lot of money, but she only keeps enough for her living expenses and donates the rest to local orphanages… Still, she never brags about these things. Everyone thinks that she's from a working-class family that lives frugally. It was only by chance that I learned that she'd been making donations."

Kingsley was somewhat touched by her words. Little did I think that Courtney, who'd always liked to get up to mischief with me when we were little, would become so warm-hearted…

Just then, a middle-aged woman holding a card walked up to them and greeted them enthusiastically, saying, "Hey, guys, wanna get a hotel room? We've got one last room with a romantic round bed left today!"
