Chapter 348
"Yeah, Boss! We have to act now!" Rupert urged. "Even if we can't snatch the most profitable casino, a
bar or club would be enough for us!"
As soon as he said that, Rupert's phone buzzed.
When he read the new message, his face fell from shock. "Jeanne, I just received news that the entire
Sunshine Casino has been claimed by someone..."
"What?" Victoria's eyes went wide. "Who bought it? Is it Jarett Cole?"
"No... It is not Jarett," he dazedly replied. "However, I have been informed that he made the
announcement. He warned everyone in the Circle that Sunshine Casino already has a new owner. No
one was allowed to do anything to get their hands on it!"
Rupert swallowed hard. "What group is it? Who is so powerful that Boss Jarett would act as their
protector?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing that, Leoric was shocked as well because he never expected Jarett to help out!
As soon as he left Diosna City earlier that day, Kingsley had immediately called Kenny, Jarett's advisor.
He asked Kenny to inform Jarett that Sunshine Casino now belonged to the Jeanne Gang.
Kingsley also requested Jarett to announce a warning to the Circle to warn off the people of Solaris
Province who were in the "industry"; they were not to try to steal something that now had an owner.
It was why Rupert received that message.
Victoria did not know any of that though. Her beautiful face turned pale as she mumbled to herself.
"I see... Chaos is going to erupt in Solaris Province. I wonder if this newcomer who emerged like a dark
horse will be our friend or foe..."
Seeing that, Leoric hurriedly said, "Jeanne, I know what is going on! I know about Sunshine Casino!"
"You do?" Rupert gave him a disdainful side-eye. "How could a small fry like you know anything?"
Leoric puffed out his chest and loudly declared, "Boss Nicholson called me this morning, summoning
me to Diosna City! I saw the fall of Xanxus Norton with my own eyes!"
"As if! See it with your own eyes? Bah!" Rupert spat on the ground near Leoric's feet and sneered.
"Everyone knows all eyewitnesses to Xanxus' fall were either dead or in prison! Can you at least come
up with a more logical boast?"
He poked Leoric hard on the chest.
"Also, do not ever mention Nicholson's name in the Jeanne Gang! Remember this; we only have one
boss!"
Rupert knew Leoric was only able to defeat Kenzo because of help from Kingsley.
As such, he despised Kingsley as well.
In his opinion, Kingsley was a busybody poking his nose in other people's business. He was the reason
why Leoric was able to impress Victoria.
Although Rupert's poke hurt, Leoric remained steady on his feet with his back straight. There was an

"You can insult me, but do not ever insult Boss Nicholson!"
"Oh? You are such a good doggy. Look at how protective you are of your master!" Rupert's face twisted
with fury.
"However, remember that you belong to Jeanne, even if you are a dog! If you want to serve someone
else, I will kill you first!"
He then kicked Leoric in the stomach.
"Also, if that Nicholson man dares to set a single foot near the Jeanne Gang, I will make him kneel and
call me uncle!" Rupert snapped.
Bam!
Leoric fell to the ground from the force of the kick. He pressed down on his stomach with his hands as
he sweated profusely from the pain.
"Hey, now! We are all comrades. How could you attack him like that, Rupert?" Victoria rebuked.
"I did not say anything because I respect you. However, do not keep pushing my limit!"
