Gulp—
Cassius swallowed hard and asked, "Bo-Boss Nicholson, did you kill Ashton and Xanxus?"
Kingsley's eyes showed a hint of admiration. "You are indeed smarter than I imagined."
"Back at the Underworld Force Meeting, I was quite puzzled. How did you figure out that Ashton's death was related to the military?
"On that day, everyone present was either arrested or killed. How did you come to such a daring speculation?" he curiously inquired.
Cassius sat up straight, looking genuinely anxious. "Ashton was my friend, and he told me he was going to deal with someone at Summers Residence. But shortly after that, we received news of the military raiding Summers Residence. So... that's how I made this bold guess."
He finished, looking awestruck at Kingsley. "But don't worry, Ashton only confided in me about this. Besides me, no one else knows the truth."
Kingsley nodded, then suddenly flashed a strange smile. "Normally, the only person who knows the truth, like you, would end up being silenced..."
Cold sweat instantly covered Cassius' back when he heard Kingsley's words.
However, before he could beg for mercy, Kingsley laughed heartily.
"I'm just kidding. Do I look like someone who would threaten you with something like that?
"And, who knows? Maybe you and I will build our forces together in the future. I wouldn't harm a partner."
Cassius was so nervous that he could not speak.
In just a few seconds, his back was completely soaked in sweat.
He wiped his forehead, managing to force out a smile. "Y-Yes, Boss Nicholson, your joke is hilarious. Haha, haha..."
Cassius was now completely convinced.
He knew that he had to follow Kingsley to conquer the world, no matter what.
Not to mention the generous offer he received, just considering the confrontation with the Timothy Family and the recent threats, he had no choice but to comply.
