Charlie sneered and said, “It’s just two billion. Why are you being so secretive? Afraid I might steal your money, Antonio?”


    Antonio shook his head instinctively, eximing, “No, no, that’s not what I meant…”


    Charlie pulled Gunbir closer and addressed Antonio, “Let me introduce you to Gunbir. He runs a roast goose shop in Chinatown. Recently, a gang called Burning Angel approached him and demanded three thousand dors a month. What’s your connection to Burning Angel?”


    “They have nothing to do with me…” Antonio started to defend himself, but he suddenly realized that Charlie must havee to confront him about this very issue!


    This meant that Charlie was already aware of his ties to Burning Angel!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Aman Ramovich, who was nearby, feltpletely overwhelmed!


    He thought to himself, “What terrible luck! Charlie clearly came here to confront Antonio today, and I just happened to show up! If I had arrived half an hour earlier, Antonio might have been done for, and I wouldn’t have had to face Charlie or worry about getting shot…”


    Antonio was terrified. He had never anticipated that Charlie would stage this confrontation right outside his home. The real reason for Charlie’s visit was to settle scores with him!


    Remembering that Charlie had shot him three times before, Antonio realized that if he continued to speak defiantly, he might end up getting shot again. So, he reluctantly said, “Mr. Wade… I’ll be honest… the Burning Angels are a small gang I oversee. Although they are loyal to me, I truly didn’t know they were foolish enough to offend you. Please give me a chance. I’ll call the boss of Burning Angel and deal with him myself. He’ll give you an exnation!”


    Charlie then turned to Julia and asked, “Do you see this clearly? Here’s a man willing to kill others just to save his own skin. For your father’s survival, he’ll eliminate anyone to appease me. Tell me, is he even worthy of being called human? He’s worse than a dog! Dogs are more loyal!” Julia felt too ashamed to look up.


    Antonio hurriedly added, “Mr. Wade… I… I also want to help vent your anger with Gunbir…”


    Ignoring him, Charlie asked Gunbir, “Gunbir, how much does your store make in a month?”


    Gunbir replied, “Mr. Wade, the store can only bring in about four thousand dors a month, considering we have to pay rent, hire dishwashers, and staff for the daytime. Plus, we have to pay a share as protection fees, so four thousand is really the maximum we can manage…”


    Charlie nodded and turned to Antonio, asking, “Is it typical for your mafia to demand 75% of someone’s profits as a protection fee?”


    Antonio shook his head vigorously, “No, no… This must be a misunderstanding… It’s a decision made by Burning Angel without my consent…”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively, “I don’t care about that. From now on, Gunbir will be the boss of the Chinese Gang. You local gangs will pay him 75% of your profits as protection fees, no matter what! Is that clear?”


    Antonio’s eyes widened, but he didn’t dare protest. He just wanted to survive this situation, so he nodded and replied, “I understand… Mr. Wade, don’t worry, I’ll ensure the monthly protection fee is delivered to Brother Qiang from now on…”


    Charlie waved him off, “You won’t have that opportunity. If you behave well today, a ship will take you and Mr. Aman Ramovich out of New York alive tomorrow morning. As for the protection fee, you can have your daughter pay it on time each month. But if you don’t perform well today, you won’t see tomorrow.”


    Antonio asked in horror, “Mr. Wade… where are you sending me and Aman Ramovich?!”


    Charlie replied casually, “You’re going to Syria. A friend of mine runs a summer camp for war experiences there. You two will be able to participate in various projects, including transportation, food, and amodation—all on me!”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><fnc3b9> Discover more novels at Find★Novel</fnc3b9>
