Chapter 468 Meeting In Person
Chapter 468 Meeting In Person
"Boss Nicholson, it's not that I didn't want to help you. Jeanne Gang is gaining momentum in the underworld right now and they just took over Sunshine Casino from Xanxus."
Kenny sighed. "I don't want to mess with them at this critical moment."
Kingsley pondered for a moment and said, "I know about this matter. Help me contact Miss Jeanne. I will meet with her in a while and plead with her to be accommodating."
"You're planning to meet her in person?" Kenny's expression changed. "Then, I'll have more men come over. You should know that Victoria Jeanne can get really unreasonable! It's safer to have more men."
Kingsley was speechless. "No need. Just the two of us will do. It's easy to cause misunderstandings if there are too many people."
Kenny swallowed his saliva in hesitation. "J-Just the two of us? Boss Nicholson, it's not that I'm afraid of her, but it's just that she's really tough—"
Before Kenny finished speaking, Kingsley lifted a hand and interrupted him. "That's settled. If you're really afraid, I can go alone."
Since Kingsley had made his stance clear, and with his subordinates watching beside him, Kenny could only grit his teeth. "Okay! I'll go with you!"
He took out his phone and said, "I'll contact Victoria now and arrange a meeting with her!"
Meanwhile, at Jeanne D'Arc, Victoria was wearing a women's suit in white and sat cross-legged on the couch in the office with a furrowed brow.
Rupert sat across from her.
Rupert had been following Victoria since middle school and he became a prominent figure in the Jeanne Gang ever since.
However, he had been feeling very upset since he got shamed by Leoric last time.
He even asked Victoria to let him replace Leoric in managing the Sunshine Casino, but she was afraid of the legendary Boss Nicholson and did not agree.
To appease Rupert, she had recently given him a lot of power. After all, making a senior subordinate feel disappointed was a big taboo in the underworld. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
If a senior subordinate felt disappointed, this would not only sow discord within the gang but also cause other members of the gang to be dispirited.
Rupert glanced at Victoria's long legs from the corner of his eyes and licked his lips as he said, "Miss Jeanne, I think Kenny and his people are up to no good. How about I take matters into my own hands and kill him instead?"
"You can't." She shook her head. "He's the top advisor under Jarett. His influence cannot be underestimated. Besides, his intentions are still unclear, and we cannot act recklessly."
Rupert narrowed his eyes. "But if we just let him wander around our territory, what will be left of our reputation in the underworld?!"
Victoria pursed her lips; she was about to speak when the phone next to the couch rang. It was Kenny calling.
She raised her eyebrow while answering the phone. "Advisor Shane?"
After hearing that Kenny wanted to meet her, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Okay, let's meet in half an hour at the Haffon Jour."
In the underworld, it was a rule that when negotiating with the opposite party, they were not allowed to go to the other party's territory.
They could choose a neutral location or an unrelated place to meet.
In the coffee shop, Kenny covered his phone and whispered to Kingsley, "Boss Nicholson, Victoria suggested meeting at Haffon Jour."
Kingsley waved his hand and said, "No need. Let's just go to Jeanne D'Arc."
Kenny was speechless.
Suddenly, he felt like he had been set up by Kingsley and Victoria.
As the top advisor under Jarett, he was asked to head to the nest of Jeanne Gang's territory without any backup.
That's simply having a death wish! he thought.
But Kingsley had the Northern Draken Tag, so he dared not refuse. Gritting his teeth, he replied to Victoria over the phone, "Miss Jeanne, in a show of sincerity, let's meet at Jeanne D'Arc."
Victoria was quite surprised when she heard Kenny's words.
