Upon hearing this, Charlie felt a wave of anxiety wash over him. He quickly eximed, “I just drove by without bothering anyone, and out of nowhere, this girl crashed into my car! Of course I’m asking forpensation; how can you use me of extorting money? We can’t let the strong bully the weak, and don’t think that I’m intimidated just because there are more of you!”
The mafia member, unfazed by Charlie’s defiance, drew a pistol from his waistband and aimed it directly at Charlie’s head. With a chilling tone, he warned, “Get out of here immediately! If you utter one more word, I’ll shoot you!”
“What the hell?!” Charlie retorted angrily. “You think you can shoot me in broad daylight?”
At that moment, Gunbir opened the passenger door of the Chevrolet, raised his mobile phone, and shouted, “Brother, I’ve called the police!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“Great!” Charlie replied, nodding in satisfaction. He turned to face the mafia member, his voice cold as ice. “Aren’t you going to pull the trigger? Go ahead, shoot me right here!”
As he spoke, Charlie pointed to his forehead and challenged, “If you’re brave enough, do it!”
Julia, witnessing the tense standoff, shouted, “Robert! Put the gun down!” In her view, while the request for a hundred thousand dors was indeed excessive, the responsibility for the incidenty with Charlie. If he had harmed someone,pensation was only fair. It was utterly unreasonable for her father’s men to threaten him with a gun.
Seeing Charlie’s fearless attitude in the face of danger left the mafia member feeling uncertain. He had no intention of actually shooting anyone; he merely wanted to assert his mafia identity to intimidate this naive Eastern man into leaving. But who could have predicted that Charlie would be so brazen?
Typically, he wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger, but today was different. This was the entrance to the Zano family estate, and any gunfire would surely draw unwanted attention. The police were already on their way, and if someone was killed, it would be impossible to cover it up. Not only would he face arrest, but the Zano family would also be implicated.
Moreover, with the eldest daughter watching, how could he justify taking a life in front of her?
Just then, another associate approached Robert and whispered urgently, “A distinguished guest is arriving soon! Don’t cause any trouble, or the boss will be furious if you neglect our guest!” Robert felt a chill run down his spine as he quickly inquired, “What should we do now? This man is demanding a hundred thousand dors, and I can’t agree to that.”
As he spoke, Robert cast a furtive nce at Julia and asked, “Miss, what should we do?”
The associate replied hastily, “Are you blind? Can’t you see that the eldestdy wants to leave? If you handle this correctly, the boss will view it as a fortunate ident. If it weren’t for this car crash, the eldestdy would have left, and the banquet tonight would have been in jeopardy!”
Suddenly, Robert understood and felt a surge of relief. “I’ll inform the boss right away!”
He quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and said, “Please inform the boss that the eldestdy was in a car ident at the entrance. He needs toe over immediately.” Hearing this, Julia scrambled to her feet and said to Charlie, “Sir, don’t you want a hundred thousand dors? Just drive me to a location, and I’ll give you the cash!”
Having overheard the conversation between Robert and his associate, Charlie realized that the young woman before him was actually the eldest daughter of the Zano family. This was a golden opportunity!
Seizing the moment, Charlie replied with a mischievous grin, “No, I want cash right here. If you don’t pay me, I’ll just wait for the police to arrive.”
