Life After Prison by Silencieux

Chapter 202

"Okay, you two. I'm going upstairs!" Charmaine smiled faintly and went upstairs without mentioning anything else.

Elsewhere, at the Emerald Cloud Gang's base, the individuals who were higher up in the hierarchy were all gathered together.

The gang was one of three underground forces in Brookbourn, and their leader-Claude Emeraldo -had a gloomy expression. He was clearly extremely unhappy.

A middle-aged woman who answered to him said, "What's the matter, sir? Judging by your expression, you seem to be focused on something!"

That was when Claude said, "The Cedar Gang's members and property have been taken over by Draco Hall. The Cedar Gang no longer exists in Brookbourn!"

"That can't be!" The woman uttered in surprise. "Monte, Kevin, and the others aren't weaklings! How did they die just like that?"

The woman was surprised when she heard that. Another old man frowned and said, "That's not the strange part. According to the information we received, Draco Hall didn't suffer much at all and there were no casualties either: On the contrary, many of the Cedar Gang's members died, and the fight seemed to end rather quickly."

"That makes no sense!" The middle-aged woman was even more puzzled and began to analyze what happened. "The strength of both sides are almost on par, and even if there was a fight between them, both sides would have suffered equally big losses. Larry's victory ought to be a hard-fought one, not an easy win!"

"But the fact is that Draco Hall secured an effortless victory. But no one knows how they managed to do that!"

Claude's face was gloomy, and after pondering over what happened, he said, "Remember to keep a low profile in the future. We don't want to offend Draco Hall again!"

However, the middle-aged woman reminded him, "Do you think it'll be fine just because we avoid offending them? Larry's an ambitious person. Now that he's taken over the Cedar Gang, do you

think he'll still tolerate our existence?"

Claude had taken that into consideration, but he did not want to-or rather, dared not-dwell on it.

Nevertheless, he had no choice but to address the elephant in the room after his subordinate brought it up. "Are you suggesting that he'll find a way to take over our gang too?"

The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Yes. They're so much more powerful than us, and if they do end up taking over, then Brookbourn's underground forces would be dominated by them! Not even the first-tier families or members of Brookbourn Mansion would dare to take them on."

Claude's mouth twitched a few times and he said with a gloomy expression, "Then what else are we supposed to do aside from not provoking them? The situation has already come to a head, and what used to be striped

Claude nodded slowly when he heard that "Your method sounds givind in this scanaria.
