Antonio believes that someone like Charlie, who prioritizes money over his own life, is essentially looking to end it all.


    Charlie has openly identified himself as part of the mafia, yet he still has the audacity to ask for money from Antonio. Isn’t this a gamble with his life on the line?


    Moreover, how could Antonio even consider handing over any cash?


    It’s important to understand that despite having a fortune exceeding 100 million, every single dor is the result of Antonio’s hard work, earned from the pockets of those struggling at the bottom. If anyone outside dares to take even a cent, it would be the end for them.


    Initially, Antonio was concerned that Charlie might have contacted the police, who could be right outside. Although he has a history of violence, he was finally starting to clear his name. How could he possibly harm this kid in front ofw enforcement?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    But who would have thought that Charlie would willingly follow him into his home to ask for money? It’s like a sheep walking into a lion’s den.


    Once Charlie crossed the threshold and was no longer visible to the police, Antonio could easily instruct his men to beat him to death and stage a robbery gone wrong. When the police arrived, they would be told that Charlie was shot during a break-in by Antonio’s guards. With apetentwyer, it was likely he wouldn’t face any jail time. Even if thewyer failed and someone ended up in prison, it would be Charlie’s brother taking the fall, leaving Antonio unscathed.


    Thus, from the moment Charlie expressed a desire to enter, Antonio decided he wouldn’t let him walk out alive.


    The police, aware of the potential for disaster once Charlie stepped inside, had one officer kindly warn him, “Sir, if you’re facing any issues, I advise you to resolve them outside instead of going in.”


    He continued, “Additionally, asking for one million U.S. dors seems unreasonable. I suggest you consider the offer of ten thousand dors instead.”


    Charlie understood the police meant well, but for him, the act he was about to perform for Antonio was about death, and he wasmitted to seeing it through.


    So, he firmly stated to the police, “I’m sorry, but I won’t ept the ten thousand dor offer. I insist on iming one million dors!”


    Turning to Antonio, he added, “Let’s go inside; I’m waiting for you to collect the money.”


    With no other option, the police asked Charlie onest time, “If you’ve reached an agreement and have no objections, we will leave. Do you have any other questions?” “No,” Charlie replied with a slight smile, “Thank you, Comrade Police.”


    The American officers exchanged bewildered nces upon hearing the term rade.” They holstered their weapons, returned to their vehicles, and drove away.


    As soon as the police were gone, Antonio’s demeanor shifted. His forced smile vanished, reced by a cold, menacing re.


    He contemptuously pointed at Charlie and then gestured towards Gunbir, instructing his men, “Take these two esteemed guests to the wine cer. I’ll join you shortly after entertaining our special visitors!”


    When Antonio referred to them as “esteemed guests,” Charlie could practically hear his teeth grinding.


    Yet, Charlie remained unfazed. He feigned dissatisfaction, remarking, “Is this how you Italian mafia treat your guests? By inviting them to the wine cer?”<fn5a23> Fresh chapters posted on ?ovelFind</fn5a23>


    Antonio’s expression hardened as he replied coldly, “Today, you’ll experience true Sicilian hospitality!”


    Meanwhile, Julia, who was under duress, urged Charlie nervously, “He will kill you! You need to leave now!”


    Charlie simply smiled and replied, “I’ve never been to Sicily before; today seems like the perfect opportunity to experience it.”
