The other bosses were clearly displeased. "Mr. White, you're usually pretty smart. Why can't you see through this?"
"Yeah, exactly! What are you worried about? Even if the military took Ashton down, it was because he caused the trouble first!
"We should just mind our own business and stay out of trouble in our little corner. Are those military guys just looking for a fight because they're bored?"
Looking at their impatient expressions, Cassius shook his head and sighed. "Forget it. It looks like I'm the only one with a clear head around here."
Then, he turned to Augustus and respectfully nodded his head. "Master Osborn, my Nightfall Gang has always been under the protection of Boss Jarett, and our gang's affairs have long been aligned with the Cole Gang.
"Today, with so many bosses present here, I officially declare my withdrawal from the Nightfall Gang, and I will no longer be involved in any underworld affairs in the future!
"From now on, the Nightfall Gang will belong to the Cole Gang, and I have no further ties with it!"
Augustus, along with the other bosses, were taken aback, unable to find the right words to express their astonishment.
Everyone looked at Cassius with incredulous gazes.
No one knew what kind of act he was suddenly putting on.
"Mr. White, your Nightfall Gang's influence is on the rise recently." Augustus was puzzled.
"Are you really stepping down from it just because you suspect Ashton's death might be related to the military?"
Cassius sighed. "The situation in the underworld is unpredictable these days, but all you guys care about is fighting each other and seizing territory. I have nothing to say about that. I've made up my mind to return to my hometown, start a small business, and hopefully avoid getting caught up in this chaotic underworld storm…"
With that, he gave another nod and gesture of respect.
Then, he simply made his way through the crowd and exited the meeting room.
Looking at Cassius' back, everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
"What's going on? Did the boss of the Nightfall Gang just quit like that?"
"Has he gone mad? Did he just hand over the entire Nightfall Gang to the Cole Gang?"
"That's right! The Nightfall Gang is quite a force to reckon with. How could Mr. White simply abandon it like that?!"
Although Augustus was also baffled by the situation, he saw it as a good thing for the Cole Gang. Therefore, he was pleased to witness it unfold.
He then lowered his hands, signaling the crowd to fall silent.
