“Based on your ability?” ine was furious as sheshed out at Charlie. “Do you not see that there are over a dozen men here? You shouldn’t be dragging me down, even if you n to die here today!”


    At that moment, Hudson shot a re at Charlie, then smirked coldly, saying, “Young man, I specifically asked you to bring your house deed, and you dare to toy with me? Do you really think I’m going to let you die here today?”


    Charlie replied coolly, “I’m giving you one chance to save your life. If you answer my question correctly, I’ll let you live today. Pay attention: Who orchestrated this trap for my mother-inw?”


    Hudson chuckled mockingly. “You’re quite the character! You actually think you can threaten me while on my turf? You must be out of your mind!”


    Charlie maintained a slight smile and asked, “And where exactly is your turf?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hudson stomped his foot in frustration. “This vi is my territory!”


    Charlie nodded, still smiling, then inquired, “Would you like to know where my territory is?”


    Hudson sneered, “Why? Are you attempting topare territories? Fine, let’s hear it. Where is your territory?”


    Charlie replied with calm confidence, “The entire Aurous Hill is my territory.”


    “What the hell!” Hudson exploded. “Are you messing with me? The whole of Aurous Hill is your territory? Do you think Don Albert is nothing? Let me tell you this: my big boss is Don Albert’s godson! No one in Aurous Hill can touch me!”<fn09c2> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find[?]ovel</fn09c2>


    “Even Don Albert would have to kneel before me if he were here today. So, who do you think you are?” Charlie retorted with a snort, pointing at Hudson. “I’m giving you onest chance. Tell me the truth—who set up this trap today?”


    “I… damn it…” Hudson was seething with rage. “How dare you show such disrespect to Don Albert? I’ll kill you today!”


    As he spoke, Hudson suddenly felt a powerful grip on his right hand.


    When he looked up, he saw Charlie had a firm hold on his right wrist.


    With a grin, Charlie said, “Let’s y a game of ‘twelve rings’.”


    Hudson instinctively asked, “What twelve rings?”


    Without warning, Charlie seized his right thumb and bent it back slightly…


    With a sharp crack, Hudson’s thumb broke, and he screamed in agony.


    Charlie chuckled softly. “That’s the first ring.”


    Next, Charlie grabbed Hudson’s right index finger and broke it too!


    There was another crack.


    “That’s the second ring,” Charlie said with a smile.


    Hudson was overwhelmed with pain and felt faint. Cold sweat dripped down his brow as he yelled at his subordinates, “Damn it! I want you to chop him to pieces now!”


    As soon as he finished hismand, Charlie snapped the middle finger of Hudson’s right hand…


    “Crack!”


    “That’s the third ring!” Charlie announced cheerfully.


    “Ahh! I’m in excruciating pain! What are you doing… hack him to death now!” Hudson screamed.


    Over a dozen men pulled out their machetes and charged at Charlie.


    Charlie stood unfazed.


    To him, these punks posed no threat at all.


    So, he continued with his task, breaking Hudson’s ring finger.


    Crack!


    Hudson’s fourth finger shattered instantly.


    Just then, the dozen machetes were already swinging toward Charlie!
