Russell came to his senses upon hearing this.
His initial feeling was correct; Strangulation's control over his own turf had indeed become problematic.
Strangulation had not informed everyone of the "melting furnace" secret command; when Russell mentioned this word, only "Xi Sang" reacted.
And when Strangulation gave instructions later, he only told her to remember the faces of "Hairdresser and Paradise Bird"... Of course, there was the reason for Xi Sang's good memory, but another reason must be that Strangulation's control was not as strong as it seemed.
He had to maintain a reign of terror to enhance his control over the White Lion Group.
And this meant he actually did not have core competitiveness in the "underground gang" domain... Yet the White Lion Group's position was clearly aimed towards "Judgement," and under such advantage, the Codelesses still would not regard the "White Lion Group" as their "first choice."
