If Charlie’s request had been made in the past, it surely would have seemed like a fantasy to these people.


    However, after a few individuals experienced Charlie’s methods firsthand and most witnessed his cruelty, they began to feel that his request was, in fact, quite reasonable.


    Consequently, each of them nodded in agreement, as if engaged in a silent conversation, wary that dying their responses might lead Charlie to take advantage of them.


    Noticing their nods of agreement, Charlie offered a slight smile and dered, “Since there are no objections, we will move forward with this. This cell is currently filthy and reeking, so your first task is to conduct a thorough cleaning. It must be immacte; otherwise, all of you will face the consequences.”


    A group of individuals, daunted by the prospect of punishment, quickly set to work on an unprecedented cleaning effort.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In their eagerness to appease Charlie as swiftly as possible, everyone who was able to move jumped in. They tossed all the old bedding into the bathroom, assigning a few to clean while the others tackled various sanitation tasks.


    They understood that if Charlie found even a minor issue with the cleanliness, they would all suffer the repercussions.


    Moreover, the agony Charlie inflicted was excruciating!


    Even Dean, dragging himself along, repeatedly wiped Charlie’s bed with a towel, focusing especially on the footprints he had left behind, ensuring not a trace remained.


    At that moment, Charlie observed the struggling Dean and asked, “Dean, I have a question for you. Answer it truthfully. If you try to deceive me, I will make your suffering a hundred times worse. Do you understand?”


    Trembling, Dean quickly replied, “Sir, please go ahead. I promise I won’t hide anything!”


    Charlie nodded and inquired, “While in Brooklyn Prison, have you ever heard of a Chinese prisoner named Peter Zhou?”


    “Peter Zhou?” Dean shook his head. “I’ve never heard of that person.”


    Charlie pressed, “Think carefully. Can’t you recall anything rted to that name?”<fn721f> Chapters first released on f?ndnovel</fn721f>


    With a look of panic, Dean responded, “Sir, I assure you, I’m not lying. I really don’t know the name you mentioned…”


    Charlie could tell Dean was being honest, and he had not expected to uncover any information about Peter Zhou from him.


    After all, Peter Zhou had been targeted by high-ranking members of the Rothschild family. Even if he had ended up in this prison, it wouldn’t bemon knowledge.


    Thus, Charlie remembered what the policeman had said about Lucas, the informant, and asked, “Have you ever heard of a Brazilian named Lucas?”


    Dean nodded eagerly, saying, “I know Lucas. That guy is very clever and well-informed in Brooklyn Prison. He’s nicknamed the ‘Brooklyn Prison Know-It-All’ and is in Cell No. 15, not far from here.”


    Charlie then requested, “Please give me an overview of the prisoners in Brooklyn Prison, especially the gang situations.”
