Chapter 350
“This place is so lavish,” Johnny said as he held up the phone to show the casino cage. “Look here…”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Rupert stumbled backward from the phone with shock painted all over his face.
He did not hear a single word Johnny said afterward.
All he heard was a buzzing sound in his ears as his vision spun.
That place was truly the Sunshine Casino!
He had the pleasure of going there once.
The lavish decor of Sunshine Casino had left an impression on him.
In fact, he would never have forgotten how it looked!
He slowly looked up at Leoric and dryly asked, “W-What is going on? Was everything you said the truth?”
“Why would I lie to Boss?” Leoric replied with a frown.
Smash!
Rupert let go of the phone, sending it crashing into the ground. The screen went black as cracks spread across the glass.
“Impossible… How can it be possible? It is indeed Sunshine Casino! How could it be so easily obtained?”
His pupils were dilating and he began rapidly shaking his head like a crazy man.
Victoria shot to her feet in surprise. “Are you serious, Leoric? That… Boss Nicholson really… He…”
She was so shocked that she could not come up with a coherent sentence.
Sunshine Casino was a cash cow everyone wanted.
Now, it was hers!
It made her feel like she was dreaming. None of this felt real!
“That’s right, boss! I am back to ask for more men. I will revive Sunshine Casino to its full glory! Once we have complete control over it, we would be the second most powerful gang in Solaris Province, right after Boss Jarett!”
Hearing that, she excitedly nodded. “Okay! I will give you some men right now. Take whoever you want!”
“Yes, ma’am! Thank you, boss!”
When Rupert saw how easily Victoria agreed to give Leoric more men, he snapped back to his senses.
“No way!” He was practically buzzing with anger. “He is just a nobody! How can we give him so much power? I object!”
She frowned at him. “Rupert Shapiro! Who is the boss of Jeanne Gang—you or me? Do my words mean nothing to you?”
“You are the boss, ma’am.” A dark look flashed across his eyes.
“However, please consider this; there is no such thing as a free lunch. Perhaps this is all a trap set by Nicholson!”
She paused at that. She then turned to Leoric and said, “Who is this Boss Nicholson? What kind of man is he?”
“I…” Leoric hummed. “He would not let me say. He said he would visit you at Jeanne D’Arc when he has time…”
When Rupert heard that, he immediately shot to his feet. “Did you hear that? Nicholson does not even dare to reveal his identity! There is something fishy about him!”
“Enough! Shut up! I can make my own judgments!”
After snapping at Rupert, she began to ponder with a frown on her face.
Moments later, she looked up at Leoric with a clenched fist.
“No matter what, let us accept this gift first. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, what will be, will be. We live and work in the Circle, so we cannot be cowards who jump at every shadow!”
With a wave of her hand, she continued, “All of Jeanne Gang is ready at your command! Take over Sunshine Casino as soon as possible!”
“Yes, Boss!”
Leoric shouted. His face was full of uncontrollable excitement.
Meanwhile, Rupert was stark pale.
The malicious glint in his eyes was strong enough that it could kill.
He was thoroughly defeated by Leoric this time.
The anger in him burned as bright as the sun.
This was all the fault of the mysterious man known as Nicholson!
Ever since Boss Nicholson appeared, Jeanne Gang had been slipping out of his grasp…
