The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power
Chapter 578 The Military and the Underworld

This guy has a sharp mind!

He can vaguely guess the truth from these subtle clues.

Just as Kingsley began to worry about whether the military would be implicated in this, Augustus shook his head.

"I don't quite agree with that. It's not the military's doing. If it were, why would they do it secretly?

"And why would they cover it up and silence those who were arrested? Since the military's power is evident, what's there to conceal?"

The other underworld bosses nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, Master Osborn is right. The military has no reason to do such a thing!"

"Mr. White, you're simply overanalyzing it! You are overly cautious."

Seeing that no one believed Cassius' words, Kingsley breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he still needed to rely on the assistance of Kenny and other underworld figures to investigate the spies.

Therefore, it was crucial to keep the connection between the military and the underworld a secret from everyone.

Revealing this connection would only make it more challenging to carry out espionage operations, especially if the Sweoya spies grew more vigilant.

This was precisely why he issued the order of secrecy.

However, Augustus, who was unaware of this, directly dismissed Cassius' speculation.

Cassius shook his head, his eyes hidden behind the glasses reflecting deep contemplation.

He had a close relationship with Ashton.

When Ashton decided to help the Summers Family, he confided in Cassius alone.

Soon after, news arrived that the Summers Family had been wiped out by the military.

At the same time, Ashton's forces had suffered a complete annihilation as well.

Hence, Cassius found it hard not to connect the two incidents.

"Master Osborn-"

Just as Cassius was about to bring up this matter, Augustus raised his hand and interrupted,

"We can discuss this matter later when we've got more time. Let's move on to the next agenda now."

The main's purpose of the meeting today was to address the issue concerning Victoria.

The discussion about Ashton and Xanxus served as a mere formality to lend legitimacy to the meeting. Additionally, it also helped preserve Jarett's reputation.

Therefore, Augustus had no intention of dwelling excessively on this matter and wanted to move on to the next topic. Cassius hesitated briefly but didn't dare to argue with Augustus. Then, he took a deep breath and held back his words. However, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his legs started to tremble involuntarily. Augustus gently knocked on the table and calmly declared, "The next agenda is about the principles in our underworld!" His gaze slowly swept across the crowd before he continued,

"Recently, someone has been mercilessly killing three members of our Cole Gang! It's clearly a deliberate challenge against our gang!"

As everyone exchanged glances, they realized that he was about to address the core issue at hand.

The boss in the gray suit spoke up.

"It's a taboo in the underworld to indiscriminately kill someone who is also part of the underworld!"

Others also nodded in agreement, their eyes flashing with determination.

"Yeah, what's more, the victims are from our Cole Gang! Isn't this a blatant challenge to Boss Jarett?"

"Who the hell is the killer? Who would dare to defy the code of the underworld and kill our own people in the Cole Gang?"

"Whoever it is, they're like a cancerous tumor in our underworld! We need to track them down and give them a taste of some serious punishment!"

As Victoria listened to the angry words exchanged among the crowd, her heart suddenly trembled.

It hadn't been long since she had stumbled upon three lifeless bodies near her territory, and it left her utterly perplexed.

She had planned to commence an investigation right after the meeting concluded.

However, upon hearing Augustus mention the killing of three members of the Cole Gang now, she had a growing sense that something was amiss!
