Chapter 27


    Even Kingsley, the suprememander whomanded the twelve military districts of Qustia, was


    surprised to see it! The forces within the underworld and the military were different as one was made


    up ofwless criminals, while thetter was part of the government. It hadn’t been easy for him to track


    down foreign spies since he couldn’t engage the army to investigate openly. Now that he had the


    Northern Draken Tag, things would be more convenient for him.“Once you possess the Northern


    Draken Tag, the lives of the people within the Northern Underworld of Qustia will be in your hands. With


    great poweres great responsibility. Thus, you shouldn’t take people’s lives unnecessarily,” Henry


    advised solemnly.“You said something wrong earlier, old man.” Kingsley grinned.“What did I say


    wrong?”As Kingsley picked up a white chess piece, he exined, “Earlier on, you mentioned that I y


    chess very aggressively with the strong intention to topple my opponent. However, having true grit is


    key to winning chess. Even if I win, it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m overly aggressive. The killing is


    shown on the outside, but my underlying strategizing has gone unnoticed by you.”“You little brat! You


    dared ask me to surrender, but I’m not allowed to teach you a lesson in return?” Henry mmed on the


    table.“Sure, sure. Please go ahead with it.” Since Henry was sixty years older than him, he was


    considered elderly. Out of respect, he wouldn’t try to oppress him using his identity as Ares.“That’s it.


    Get out of my sight this instant! You are an eyesore!” Henry chided before closing his eyes and ignoring


    Kingsley.When thetter walked out of the room, the Tanner siblings went up to him immediately. “Are


    you alright? Did my father do anything to you?” Gavin asked worriedly.Just then, an old woman in her


    sixties walked over from the other end of the corridor and told them off in a serious tone. “It is now his


    bedtime. You guys should have your discussion elsewhere,” she said.“Yes, Aunty Helen,” the three of


    them answered and brought Kingsley to the living room on the first floor after that.As they sat on the


    couch, Gavin asked Kingsley impatiently, “Kingsley, what did my father tell you?” The other two Tanner


    siblings were eager to know the answer to that as well.Kingsley took the brocade box, which was the


    size of his palm out from his pocket, and ced it on the coffee table before saying, “Here, he gave me


    this.” Gavin lifted the box and opened it. “This is—” Looking at the words ‘Northern Draken Order’N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    written on the tag, Gavin was stupefied.“What is it? Can we have a look at it?”When they saw how


    surprised Gavin was, both of them bent forward to get a closer look at it. “F*ck!” George, who was


    usually calm, couldn’t help but swear when he saw those three words. “I-Isn’t this the Northern Draken


    Tag?”Chermaine asked in astonishment, “Oh my, did my father really give you the Northern Draken


    Tag?”“He lost the game. I suppose this is my reward.” Kingsley nodded.The three of them were


    speechless upon hearing that. Surrendering the Northern Draken Tag that could warrant its owner the


    authority tomand the underworld just by losing a game of chess? Wasn’t that a joke?After a while,


    Gavin closed the box carefully and passed it to Kingsley. “Kingsley, my father must have his reasons


    for passing the tag to you. Therefore, you shouldn’t let him down. The Tanner Family has a very strong


    base. Even though we do not have the tag, we wouldn’t be affected by it in the short run.” A hint of


    despair could be detected in his tone.“Don’t worry about it, Uncle Gavin. I’ll return the Northern Draken


    Tag to you once I’m done ying with it.” Kingsley smiled. Since he was Ares, the God of War who


    commanded millions of troops, he wasn’t willing to be themander of the underworld as it didn’t


    interest him. Once he had exterminated the foreign spies, he would naturally return the tag.The Tanner


    siblings seemed relieved after hearing his words. Although the world ‘y’ sounded inappropriate, they


    were d that the Tanner Family’s authority would be preserved.Chermaine held Kingsley’s hands


    while saying enthusiastically, “Since it’s alreadyte, you should stay here tonight instead of driving


    back to the city.”Kingsley agreed to it as he nodded.“Since there’s not much room in this mansion, you


    can sleep in my niece’s room tonight since she’s away,” Chermaine chirped.“Your niece? Is it Uncle


    Gavin’s daughter?”“She is George’s daughter. Her name is Paige Tanner.” Chermaine led him to one of


    the rooms on the second floor and said, “This is Paige’s room. Have a good rest.”After Chermaine left,


    Kingsley took a hot shower and went to bed naked as he couldn’t find any clean clothes to wear. The


    next morning, a sudden whipping sound was heard before the nket on Kingsley was pulled off. It


    woke him up, and he immediately got off the bed. As he covered his crotch with his hands, he looked at


    thedy standing in front of him and asked in surprise, “Who are you? How did you get in?”
