Chapter 476 Reminder to Victoria

Organizations like the Jeanne Gang needed to continuously recruit young blood in order to maintain their strong vitality.

The older members of the gang either would switch to legitimate business or take on managerial positions within the gang.

They relied on their status as the seniors of the underworld to avoid getting their hands dirty in most situations.

Tasks that required charging into battle and putting one's life on the line were all handled by these young and physically strong members.

Therefore, all of the young fighters of the Jeanne Gang were new recruits.

As soon as they joined the gang, they were firmly controlled by Rupert.

Victoria trusted Rupert completely, so she was not concerned with these minor matters.

After all, as the boss of the Jeanne Gang, she couldn't micromanage every recruit.

She suddenly realized now that if she didn't establish her authority in front of these new recruits, she might be completely sidelined in the future!

She lightly tapped her dagger on the table and said, "Rupert, how many members did Leoric take away with him when he went to manage the casino in Diosna?"

Rupert swallowed his saliva and replied, "About a hundred—"

His voice was slightly hoarse.

The scene just now reminded him of the days when he first followed Victoria.

At that time, he had no rebellious thoughts as he admired and feared her at the same time.

He was truly fighting to expand her territory.

But as the territory expanded and his position rose, he was gradually unwilling to be a woman's subordinate.

That was the reason why he gradually became more and more arrogant.

The clean and neat strike Victoria gave earlier made Rupert realize that she was still the same person he first met.

If he wanted to seize power, he definitely couldn't do it the hard way!

Now was not the best time to show his ambition.

He still needed to bide his time and make a secret plan.

Thinking of this, he respectfully asked her, "Leoric took with him nearly a hundred people. Boss, do you plan to recruit new members?"

"Yes." Victoria glanced at him. "I will personally handle this matter. You don't need to worry about it."

At that, Rupert's cheekbones twitched.

This decision of hers was clearly a sign that she was already wary of him!

"Boss—"

Before he could say anything else, she raised her hand. "The most urgent task now is to handle Boss Nicholson's affairs properly."

After speaking, she smiled slightly at Kingsley and Kenny. "I'm sorry about what happened just now."

Kenny wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while thinking that Victoria indeed lived up to her reputation.

She really was a crazy woman! Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He thought of this in his heart, but he politely replied, "No worries. You're truly an efficient and capable woman, not inferior to any man at all!"

Kingsley also smiled and echoed, "Yes. You did not disappoint me. However... Victoria, I still have to remind you."

He leaned forward slightly as he rested his elbow on his knee and continued lightly, "Using violence to intimidate subordinates can work once or twice, but it's not a long-term solution. Furthermore, personally managing things on the ground is even more cost prohibitive. If you want to firmly control a large gang, you must be good at balancing power and distributing it to several absolutely trustworthy subordinates at the same time."

With that, Kingsley showed a trace of a profound smile. "Also, the more trustworthy a person is, the more vigilant you must be. Because when people gain more power, they inevitably develop different thoughts. This is human nature."

Instantly, both Kenny and Rupert's expressions changed.

Just as Kingsley said, after Kenny gained a high position in the Cole Gang, he wanted to set up his own gang.

Kenny coughed awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Rupert, on the other hand, glared and angrily shouted, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I will betray Victoria?!"
