As Charlie began to speak, a n swiftly took shape in his mind.


    Having spent considerable time in New York, he believed that certain issues needed to be addressed properly.


    With the Zano family extending its influence into Chinatown and threatening the store that Uncle Arman had dedicated decades to building, he thought, “Don’t hold back on being assertive.”


    Turning to Gunbir, he instructed, “Gunbir, change into these chef’s clothes and join me outside.” Gunbir nced at the five members of Burning Angel, his heart racing as he asked, “Mr. Wade, what should we do with them?”


    “I’ll take them out one by one! No hesitation, just one shot at a time!” Charlie dered. The five men quaked in fear, utterly taken aback that the timid cook, who they had bullied mercilessly, was now resolved to take deadly action against them. “I will eliminate all five of you!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Noting Gunbir’s determined demeanor, Charlie offered a slight smile and replied, “It’s premature to eliminate them just yet. Let Uncle Arman and Ni Dawei keep an eye on them for now. Once they finish their tasks, we can deal with them then.” Arman quickly inquired, “Master, what are your ns? Is there anything you require?”


    “No worries, Uncle Arman. After Gunbir and I leave, please close the store and stay put until we return. If any trouble arises, if someone with ill intentions shows up, use these five as hostages and contact Kexin immediately.” In New York, there’s nothing that Fei Kexin can’t handle.


    Even when faced with gangsters, the Zano family pales inparison to Fei Kexin’s capabilities.


    However, Charlie preferred that Fei Kexin not intervene directly. If she did, the situation would lose its intrigue.


    Yet, he recognized that he had limited options. If he brought Gunbir to confront the Zano family, he would also have to be wary of potential retaliation from other members of Burning Angel targeting the roast goose shop.


    Arman understood Charlie’s intentions and nodded in agreement.


    Charlie then turned to Ni Dawei and asked, “Having lived in New York for many years, do you know the specifics about the Zano family? For instance, where they reside, how many members they have, and who is in charge?”<fn94f9> Find the newest release on FindN0vel</fn94f9>


    Ni Dawei responded promptly, “The Zano family is located near Long Ind, where they have a Zano Manor. They are quite entrenched in the mafia scene. The direct family is numerous, and I estimate at least ten members. The current patriarch is Antonio Zano.”


    “Understood,” Charlie nodded and addressed Arman, “Uncle Arman, I’m taking Gunbir to Zano Manor. If all goes well, we’ll be back in two hours.”


    Arman urged, “Please be careful, Young Master!”


    …


    The Zano family, hailing from Sicily, has maintained a dominant presence in New York for decades.


    This family has a long history in organized crime, and they have held onto a family heirloom—a Thompson submachine gun from World War II.


    Legend has it that the old leader of the Zano family sold their assets in Sicily and migrated to New York, gradually establishing their footing in the American underworld with that very Thompson submachine gun. This gun, often referred to as the Chicago Typewriter, was famously disyed in the main hall of Zano Manor until just the year beforest. It was only when the new generation of Zano leaders sought to distance themselves from their past that it was finally removed from the wall. However, this removal didn’t signify their withdrawal from illegal activities.


    On the contrary, they discreetly transferred all uwful transactions to associates who appeared unrted to the Zano family. Over time, they strategically supported these gangs to expand their influence across New York and the entire East Coast, significantly boosting their underground revenue.
