Before he could finish his sentence, the man instantly sensed something wrong with what he was saying. Thus, he quickly covered his mouth in embarrassment. Although everyone else felt the same way as he did, none of them had the guts to speak their minds. Because of that, when they heard someone saying that in front of Baron, they were prompted by their first instinct to keep their mouths shut out of fear.
With a darkened look on his face, Baron said in a deep voice, "Kingsley is the one who had this all arranged, so he'll be here soon!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt relieved, their faces written with expressions of confidence and reassurance. Nonetheless, neither of them had the courage to say anything else.
Meanwhile, Baron, who noticed everyone's reactions, waved his hand in frustration. "Alright, stop standing here like statues. Now, head over to the underground boxing ring and get ready for the Stewarts' arrival!"
"Yes, Sir!" The fighters responded and immediately headed toward the basement.
As soon as everyone left, Baron frowned and turned his attention to Wendell. "Wendell, what do you think about the things they said?"
Knowing what Baron meant, Wendell chose his words carefully and replied, "It's not their fault, Boss. When Mr. Nicholson defeated the two young fighters that the Stewarts sent on the stage, you got so happy after making a fortune that you cheered for him and even called him invincible. Because of that, our men might have thought that was a sign of subservience from you to Mr. Nicholson, which was probably the reason they started admiring him."
Upon hearing Wendell's analysis, Baron frowned in a worried manner. "If this continues, I'm afraid our men will lose faith in us." Without Baron's alliance, Kingsley never considered himself a force to be reckoned with in the underworld. Thus, Baron had nothing to worry about, but things seemed to be different now as Kenny and Cassius had come together to build a new force. More importantly, their leader was the man—Kingsley—himself.
