When Charlie heard the question posed by the other party, he couldn’t help but smile slightly. He responded casually, “Not only do I know Soleil, but I also shared a meal with her. She was in Providence under the alias Jovie, and there was a man named Xu Jianxi apanying her. They were ying the part of a couple, weren’t they?”


    Uncle Ma’s expression turned to one of horror upon hearing Charlie’s words, and even Trent appeared utterly stunned.


    While he was unfamiliar with Soleil, he certainly knew Jovie!


    It was Jovie who had informed his mother about job opportunities for seamen in Mexico, touting the excellent pay.


    At the time, his mother was immensely grateful, believing that Jovie’s advice had saved their entire family.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    But who could have imagined that this woman was so cruel, intending to extract and sell her heart!


    With this thought racing through his mind, Trent couldn’t help but ask Charlie, “Brother… how do you know Jovie?! Did she deceive you too?!”<fnafc1> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find~novel</fnafc1>


    Charlie smirked dismissively and replied, “Brother, given Jovie’s background, there’s no way she could deceive me.”


    Uncle Ma, sensing Charlie’s disdain, felt a wave of unease wash over him.


    Realizing that Charlie not only knew Soleil’s true identity but also had the audacity to enter the Tiger’s Den alone, Uncle Ma understood that Charlie must have something up his sleeve.


    In a flustered tone, he asked, “Brother, you seem quite bold. You’re not just an ordinary person, are you? You should juste clean about where you’re from. If we’re on the same path, I assure you, I won’ty a hand on you!”


    Charlie sneered, saying, “Your business is beneath me. I can’t stand people who deceive those in financial hardship just to kill them for their organs. Those gangs that mutte children are even more revolting. Frankly, after all these years, how could I, Charlie, ever be aligned with scum like you?”


    Ma Kui felt even more anxious at this point.


    It struck him that since Charlie had mentioned Soleil’s name without a hint of fear—his eyes filled with sarcasm and contempt—he must possess an extraordinary level of self-confidence.


    As this realization sank in, Ma Kui began to sweat coldly.


    Though he had initially intended to ruthlessly pull the trigger and eliminate Charlie, he found himself unable to act.


    His nerves getting the better of him, he asked Charlie, “Brother, what do you n to do? Knowing what we’re involved in, you should understand that we’re a group of cold-blooded murderers. Even if you are formidable, on this turf in Mexico, I’m not necessarily afraid of you.”


    Charlie responded with a slight smile, “Most of the people here are Mexicans. It must be challenging for you, as a Chinese, to be the boss in this environment. Where is your boss, by the way?”


    Ma Kui nodded solemnly and replied, “Our boss has multiple business ventures; this is just one of them. I’m the one in charge of this particr line. The Soleil you’ve encountered is one of my subordinates in the U.S. I oversee operations in both the U.S. and Canada, and I have several others who help supply for me.”


    Charlie nodded slightly and said, “I have some significant business to discuss, and I’d like to meet your boss. Please call him; I’ll wait here.”


    Ma Kui frowned and replied cautiously, “Brother, unless you reveal your identity, I can’t possibly inform our boss. He’s one of the top ten leaders among criminal groups in Mexico. Do you think he woulde to see you without proof that you can summon him?”


    Charlie scoffed disdainfully and then calmly untied the knots binding his wrists.


    He then discreetly slid his skills into his pocket and retrieved a rare ck gold card, one of only a handful in the world and even fewer in China.


    At that moment, everyone realized that Charlie had actually managed to free himself from the restraints. They were left in shock, unable toprehend how he had done it, as Charlie casually waved the ck gold card in his hand.


    With a mocking smile, he tossed the card to Ma Kui and said, “Here, open your eyes and take a good look. Do you recognize this?”
