He then turned to Bruce Weinstein and said in an icy tone, “Don’t worry. Even though your younger brother is in pain, he won’t be broken for quite some time.”


    Bruce Wayne Stan responded instinctively, “How can that be? A doctor friend of mine said it’s already dead. If you don’t treat it soon, I might have to amputate…” Charlie replied calmly, “There’s no need to worry. There is spiritual energy here; it won’t be the end. If you cooperate fully, I will heal you.”


    Bruce Weinstein looked taken aback. “Reiki? What is Reiki?” he asked. Charlie didn’t answer but pressed on with a cold demeanor, “I want to know if there’s a secret passage in your office. Did you lock Peter Zhou under that secret passage?”


    Bruce Weinstein appeared as if he had seen a ghost, staring at Charlie in shock. He murmured, “You… Who are you?! How do you know about the secret passage and Peter Zhou?!”


    With a smile, Charlie said, “I came here specifically for Peter Zhou.”<fn3072> Original content can be found at f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn3072><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As he spoke, Charlie sent spiritual energy into Bruce’s mind,manding him in a tone that brooked no argument, “Now answer the question I just asked!”


    Bruce Weinstein trembled, and in that moment, he perceived Charlie as someone whose orders he had to obey. He quickly replied, “Yes, there is indeed a secret passage behind my office. It’s an elevator shaft. There’s a hidden cell located beneath it, and Peter Zhou is locked there.”


    Charlie pressed further, “Aside from Peter Zhou, is anyone else down there?”


    “No one else…” Bruce Weinstein admitted. “He is the only one in thatpletely sealed room. I bring him food and water once a day.” Charlie continued, “Why is Peter Zhou being kept here by the Rothschilds?”


    Bruce Weinstein responded, “It’s because he’s been used of stealing from the Rothschilds.”


    “Stealing?” Charlie frowned and inquired, “What exactly did he steal?”


    “I don’t know either,” Bruce exined. “I just know that whatever it is, it’s incredibly important to the Rothschild family. For the past week, Peter refused to divulge the truth, regardless of the consequences. Recently, members of the Rothschild family havee here every day to interrogate him, but they’ve been unable to extract any useful information, so they instructed me to keep him safe for now.”


    Charlie asked coldly, “Can you take me down there?”


    “Yes,” Bruce Weinstein nodded without hesitation.


    Charlie followed up, “If I leave this afternoon, will the Rothschild family find out?”


    “No,” Bruce reassured him. “I’m in charge here. I report everything to the Rothschild family, but they don’t monitor this ce directly.”


    Charlie felt a wave of relief andmanded, “Take me down now!”


    Bruce Weinstein responded respectfully, “Of course.” He moved to the bookcase in his office, retrieved a copy of “The Gospel of John,” and ced his palm over the cover.


    What happened next was remarkable. After scanning his palm and fingerprints, the book emitted a beeping sound. Suddenly, the back panel behind an empty shelf slid open, revealing a series of cameras.


    Bruce Weinstein stepped forward, gazing at the camera intently. Shortly after, one of the bookshelves began to open slowly, unveiling a metal elevator door.


    Once the concealed door had opened at a 45-degree angle, the metal elevator door automatically slid open, revealing a small,pact elevator inside.


    At that moment, Bruce Weinstein bowed respectfully and said to Charlie, “Sir, please step inside.”
