The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power novel Chapter 878

Boris understood that the purpose of Team Nightcrawler was to protect Kubo by acting as bait. He believed that Kubo would never face any security threats, and even if the Qustia Military knew about the website, they wouldn't be able to harm Kubo. However, upon learning that the Nightcrawler had been completely wiped out, he couldn't help but worry about the safety of the website administrator.

"Don't worry, Professor Oakley. He is safe," reassured Xaria. "I will quickly request Kami to send more people to the Nightcrawler to protect Kubo's safety."

She sighed and added, "Among the Nightcrawler, Cedric Stanton had the most extensive espionage experience and was my most trusted assistant. It's such a shame that he's missing..."

"Yes, it would be great if Cedric could return," Boris agreed. "Maybe if he returned, he could unravel the mystery of my disappearance..."

Although Boris repeatedly claimed that his amnesia wouldn't affect Plan A, deep down, he was still troubled by everything that had happened during his disappearance. He also desired to uncover what had transpired.

With this in mind, Boris asked, "Miss Kelly, how did Cedric disappear? You told me that I vanished overnight in the temporary residence, but what about him?"

"After you disappeared, Plan A came to a halt," Xaria explained. "We all went into hiding and ceased all activities. At one point, Cedric contacted me and proposed a way to acquire a batch of weapons to make some money with Emmett Campbell while we were in hiding. I knew that due to the plan's stagnation, everyone would likely remain in Qustia for a long time. The initial funding from above might no longer be sufficient, and the new allocation hasn't been approved yet. So, I agreed to his request."

Boris furrowed his brow slightly. "So, he started selling weapons in Qustia?"

"Yes," confirmed Xaria. "After completing two deals, Cedric mentioned that he might have attracted the attention of the Qustia police and decided to lay low somewhere. However, he suddenly disappeared. I tried to locate him, but there was no trace. I suspect that either his identity was exposed, and he was captured by the military, or he was arrested by the police on charges of weapon trafficking."

"Ah..." Boris sighed once again. "This Cedric, so clever in his lifetime, why did he succumb to greed? The funding from above is already sufficient! He is just too greedy! After all, he comes from a lower-class background!"

Observing Boris' repeated sighs, Xaria quickly interjected, "Professor Oakley, you don't have to worry too much. I heard from Kami that there is someone in our organization who has mixed heritage and is part Qustian. That person's cousin is a Qustian-born and bred. His cousin accepted our money and has already become a member of the organization, codenamed 'Mod,'" she continued. "Now, he has infiltrated an underworld force through local connections!"

"Underworld force?" Boris questioned. "Why infiltrate an underworld force?"

Xaria explained slowly, "Professor Oakley, you may not be aware, but currently, in the Underworld of Solaris, the most powerful force in the underworld is the Cole Gang! The boss of the Cole Gang, Jarett Cole, is no longer content with ruling just the underworld. He has been attempting to extend his influence into the provincial government lately!"

A cold smile appeared as she continued, "In Qustia, with such a formidable background, extensive connections, and abundant resources, it is remarkably easy to obtain an official position."

Upon hearing Xaria's words, Boris suddenly realized, "You mean joining the Cole Gang is merely a stepping stone, and that person intends to infiltrate the provincial government in the future!"

"Exactly!" Xaria's eyes gleamed. "Even if Jarett can only secure a nominal position for him, it would be sufficient. We have already provided him with enough money to become a prominent figure in front of Jarett quickly! Now, most of the dealings with provincial officers are entrusted to him. With these high-level connections, won't it be effortless for us to gather any information we desire in the future?!"
