Chapter 474 Fearless Because Of Someone
"Of course! Thank you… Thank you so much, Boss Nicholson!"
At that moment, Kenny made up his mind that he would stick closely to Kingsley from now on.
He reckoned perhaps he might get lucky and receive a windfall just like Jeanne Gang did at some point.
Suddenly, he felt that he could have a brighter prospect following Kingsley rather than Jarett.
Then, Kingsley patted his shoulder and said, "Let's discuss these matters another time, Advisor Shane. Miss Jeanne and I will deal with the current situation today."
As expected, Kenny didn't dare to object and he quickly nodded. He answered with a subservient tone, "Sure... Your affairs are of utmost importance!"
After that, Kingsley sat upright as he looked at Victoria. Then, he said, "Allow me to introduce myself, Miss Jeanne. My name is Kingsley Nicholson. I'm also known as Boss Nicholson as Leoric mentioned earlier. But technically speaking, I am not a member of the underworld. I came here with Advisor Shane today to discuss something with you. Someone owes a friend of mine money, and that person is likely to appear in your territory again. I would like to ask for your kindness in allowing Advisor Shane to dispatch someone to conduct surveillance in that area."
Victoria's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "But—"
Before she could say anything, Rupert, who was next to her, slammed the table and replied, "No way! I strongly disagree!"
He furrowed his brows and shouted angrily, "Who knows what you are really up to? No outsiders are allowed in the territory of our Jeanne Gang!"
Kingsley only gave him a cold stare before asking, "Whom are you supposed to be?"
Rupert immediately burst with anger upon hearing that. "Damn it! Listen up, Nicholson! I am Rupert Shapiro from the Jeanne Gang! "I don't care who the hell you are! You're on my turf right now, so don't mess with me!" he shouted as he was unwilling to back down.
He wouldn't dare speak to Kingsley like that if it were anywhere else.
However, he felt invincible when he was in Jeanne D'Arc.
"Rupert who?" Kingsley asked as his expression turned cold. "I've never heard of you."
At that time, Kingsley had already sensed that Rupert was not an easy guy to deal with.
Furthermore, Rupert seemed to have a great deal of hostility toward him. Besides, the fact that he had been so bold in front of Victoria was a clear sign that he didn't even regard her as the boss.
Kingsley narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he would have to clean up Victoria's mess before he even had a chance to reunite with her.
Rupert's face turned purple as he sneered. "What's your name again, Nicholson? It's not surprising that you haven't heard of me since you claim to not be part of the underworld." Then, he bellowed with a smug look, "I am the second in command of the Jeanne Gang! No one doesn't know me in the entire Cleapolis' underworld!"
However, Kenny sneered as soon as Rupert finished speaking. "The fact is I haven't heard of you! How dare you act so arrogantly!"
He didn't sugarcoat his words in front of Rupert at all!
"You!" Rupert's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity and he yelled, "Your name is indeed well-known, Advisor Shane, but you're in the territory of Jeanne Gang now. You better be careful! Do you think Jarett will be able to avenge you if I kill you here?"
At that moment, Kenny's expression changed drastically.
There were only two major forces left in the Solaris Province after Ashton's downfall. They were Jarett and the Seven Legends.
Kenny became more active and started planning to lead his men to break away from the Cole Gang to take over Ashton's position ever since then.
However, somehow that news reached Jarett.
Luckily, Jarett hadn't severed ties with him just yet, but as Rupert said, it remained unknown whether Jarett would avenge Kenny if he really died here today.
Rupert became even more fearless right after he saw the change of expression on Kenny's face.
"Why should I fear you if there will be no consequences after killing you? That said, I suggest you not be so arrogant in front of me, Kenny Shane! Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether my men outside will rush in and assert control!"
