I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 570

Inside the conference room, the various underworld bosses gathered in small groups.

Most bosses were elegantly dressed, projecting an air of sophistication, restraint, and composure. This stark contrast was evident when compared to their subordinates, who sported floral shirts and black jackets. As accomplished figures in the underworld, these bosses sought to cultivate a refined and gentlemanly image befitting their success.

At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man asked, "Gentlemen, I assume you're all aware of the purpose behind Boss Jarett convening this meeting today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several slick-haired men beside him exchanged glances and deliberated before saying, "It appears... the focus is directed toward Miss Jeanne and her gang, isn't it?"

"I've also heard about this. It seems Boss Jarett has set his sights on the Sunshine Casino."

"I believe his approach is justified. Considering the significant effort Mr. Norton invested in establishing that casino, it wouldn't be fair for the Jeanne Gang to simply take it over without any fight."

A man with gold-framed glasses had a gleam in his eyes. "It would be a good thing if Boss Jarett could eliminate the Jeanne Gang. Right now, that gang has complete control over that territory, and we can only watch with envy. If he takes care of Victoria, we may still get a share of the pie."

Someone nearby agreed wholeheartedly, "Yes, he values reputation the most. If he takes over the casino, he'll surely give some benefits to people like us! I just wonder... how does he plan to deal with her? He won't confront her directly, will he?"

That man with glasses shook his head slightly. "I don't think so. His position in the Solaris Province underworld is already at its peak. He's preparing to clean up his image and establish connections with the provincial government. If he confronts the Jeanne Gang directly at this critical juncture, the gains won't outweigh the losses. I believe he'll likely play it cunningly against her."

Upon hearing this, those around him started to contemplate. "Regardless of the outcome, we should unite with Boss Jarett and focus on her during today's meeting!"

"Yes, this is the safest approach!" The bosses were discussing how to align themselves.
