When a man put the noose around Tody's neck, Tody subconsciously tried to dodge, but he instantly gave up the idea when he thought of Charlie's other option.Charlie looked at Tody who had the noose around his neck and quipped, "Do you want to kick the chair yourself, or let them help you?"Knowing that his life had come to an end, Tody hung his head low and cried, "M-Mr. Wade, please help me..."With a smirk, Charlie shook his head and sneered, "No. People like you are not worthy of me to kill you with my own hands."Then, he looked at the man who had come with Tody earlier and asked indifferently, "You are the Desperados' second-in-command, am I right?""Yes, Mr. Wade." The man nodded profusely and answered attentively, "I am Angelo Blount, the second-in-command of the Desperados—"He took a quick peek at Tody and hurriedly continued, "But! I’m not the same as Tody. He is a man who doesn't have morality and is brutal. I have advised him many times, but he never listened to me.
At dawn in New York City, Porter and his men took Aman, Antonio, and the mafia bosses from the gangs under the Zano family out of Oskiatown and headed for the port.The remaining second-in-commands were promoted to the leader positions.Angus was still in a bit of a trance. Despite witnessing Charlie exterminate the Zano family and their underlings with his own eyes, he had a sense of unreality. Charlie saw Angus's dazed expression and asked, "What do you feel now, Angus?"Angus came to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment. "M-Mr. Wade, i-it's unbelievable...""Hah!" Charlie chuckled. "You'd better put yourself together fast because you have an important task. From now on, you must reorganize the Oskian Gang as soon as possible. The Zano family is the biggest mafia group in New York, but they are not the only ones. You will face a lot of challenges in the future. Since you have chosen this path, you must figure out how to proceed.""Yes, Mr. Wade." Angus nodded sol
Charlie nodded and professed earnestly, "When I was a kid, I heard the story of the Oskian gangs overseas. Back then, they dared to go all out, and because of that, they secured a considerable foundation in Canada, the United States, and even Europe. I've never expected that into the twenty-first century, the Oskian gangs all over the world are declining rapidly. A lot of them have already disappeared. Those that remain hide in the dark and live like a pack of rats. Do you know why?""B-Because—" Daves spluttered awkwardly, "O-Over the years, Europe and the States have become more and more aggressive in cracking down on gangs. The degree of unity among Oskians is indeed worse than that of Koreans and Vietnamese, so it's much harder now—""You're wrong!" Charlie snapped and interrupted him. "They're all excuses. From what I see, the reason why overseas Oskian gangs are rapidly declining is the loss of courage and grit!"He sighed and continued, "Many of the members of the Oskian gang
As Charlie and Janus left the roast goose restaurant, Janus looked back at the simple facade and sighed. "Well, I guess that my father's secret roast goose recipe will be lost."With a chuckle, Charlie asked, "Uncle Janus, do you question or oppose my decision today?"After a moment of silence, Janus looked at Charlie and confided in a serious tone, "Mr. Wade, Angus is my adopted son, not a pet. From the day I adopted him, I never thought about making plans for his life. It was not my intention for him to learn to make roast goose. He had a miserable childhood, didn't go to school nor had the desire to study. That's why I taught him how to make roast goose. At least he could have something to make a living."He cleared his throat and continued, "I respect his decision as to whether he chooses to run the restaurant, but the opportunity you offer him today is too great, I don't think he has enough experience to handle it.""I beg to differ," Charlie asserted. "You can look at the mat
The antique shop was closed when Charlie's car stopped in front of the shop. Janus was indifferent about it. After all, they were quite early, and few shops were open early in the morning.But Charlie, who was more observant, noticed something unusual.He saw the mottled rust on the iron folding door and handle of the shop as if no one had cleaned them for a while.He pulled over to the other side of the street as he had planned to get a cup of coffee there. When he went closer to the shop to have a look, he found that the shop hadn't been operated for a long time. There was even a cobweb hanging over the door.Looking inside through the window, he saw that the exhibits were dirty and had not been maintained for quite some time.Janus frowned in confusion. "It looks like this place has been closed for at least a few months.""You're right." Charlie nodded. "Didn't the Coles run many antique shops in Europe and the United States? Maybe they decided to close the business here."
Charlie pursed his lips and crooned, "It's okay. I can ask Miss Fox about this. Her connections and intelligent network in New York are much better than ours."Comment by _ Lunaelle: use a simpler wordWith that, he took out his phone and called Kathleen.The phone rang seven to eight times before it was finally answered. "Brad," Kathleen spoke. "How are things in Atlanta? Everything good?"Charlie realized that it was not a good time to talk as Kathleen had made up an alias and some fake questions. She was probably with Claire right now.Sensing that, Charlie immediately quipped, "Miss Fox, it's not a good time, is it? I'll call you later.""I'm in New York now, working on a project. Give me five minutes. I'll call you back," Kathleen answered."Alright," Charlie replied and ended the call.Kathleen called exactly five minutes later. She began respectfully as soon as Charlie answered the call, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wade. I was discussing a project with Mrs. Wade just now. She might
Kathleen promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I won't tell Mrs. Wade about this."She quickly added, "I haven't heard about Biden's arrest. Don't worry. I'll have someone to gather information and inform you when I get it.""Alright." Charlie thanked her. "Thank you, Miss Fox."After ending the call, Charlie told Janus, "Miss Fox will investigate it, and it may take some time. Let's go back to the hotel in New York to have breakfast and rest.""No problem." Janus nodded and smiled. "It's just that the hotel is a distance away from here, and the news may arrive in less than half an hour if Miss Fox is efficient enough. Why don't we just grab a bite over there?" he pointed at the cafe across the street and suggested. "Just give me a cup of coffee and I'll stay awake all day."Charlie considered his option and nodded in agreement. The two of them went to the cafe across the street and ordered some food and coffee. Kathleen called Charlie before they finished their coffee.Kathleen's
"Send someone in?"Kathleen blurted at first and gasped in bewilderment, "M-Mr. Wade! Are you implying that you want me to send you in?""Yes." Charlie nodded. "Please help me get a fake ID and send me to Brooklyn Prison. I want to meet Biden."Kathleen thought for a while and cautioned, "It's not a problem to send you in, but I can't guarantee you can meet Biden. After all, his case is so special that it's worth the core member of the Rothschilds going to great lengths for him. No matter what he did, it must be a great deal, so he must be given special attention in prison. I don't think it's easy to see him.""Don't worry about it." Charlie chuckled. "I'll see what I can do when I'm in there.""Okay. When do you plan to go in?""As soon as possible, preferably before noon. Can you do it?"Kathleen affirmed in a crisp voice, "No problem. I'll arrange it right away."When Charlie ended the call, Janus asked, "Are you going to see Biden in prison?""Yes." Charlie nodded. "He had
