Several people were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but feel scared. If Charlie could easily pull out the bullet tip with his fingers, wouldn’t one’s brain be smashed out if he really used all his strength on one’s face?However, several people didn't understand why Charlie suddenly pulled out the bullet's tip, and they didn't understand what this had to do with the forgiveness he had mentioned.At this time, Charlie looked at the man, raised the bullet in his hand that had been separated, smiled slightly, and said, “Don't you want forgiveness? This is my forgiveness. The whole bullet is not easy to swallow. I will break it up for you to swallow more conveniently.”The man felt as if he had fallen into hell in an instant as he stared at Charlie in horror. He couldn't believe that such words could come out of the mouth of the handsome young man in front of him.Charlie reminded him at this time, “By the way, don't forget to thank your good subordinate. It was he who helped you g
A magical and interesting scene is taking place in this inconspicuous roast goose shop in Oskiatown.Five gang members who were once ferocious and arrogant in Oskiatown, known for frightening countless Oskians vendors, were now kneeling on the ground, constantly stuffing golden bullets into their mouths.The 9mm pistol bullets were thick and fat, and swallowing them was much more painful than swallowing the largest capsules.Moreover, these people did not even have a glass of water to swallow the bullets, so they could only clench their teeth and swallow them raw.Will suffered the most. As his sister was one of the mistresses of the boss of Burning Angels and he was born with ruthlessness in his bones and was extremely ruthless, he also became a middle-level manager in Burning Angel. The boss of Burning Angels had handed Oskiatown to him to manage.He represented Burning Angels as the leader of Oskiatown.However, this leader was particularly miserable at the moment.His four
Angus said, “The third time was the night before yesterday. He was sitting in a Cadillac. The car was parked at the corner of the street. Clinston from the Oskian gang just came out of the nightclub and was dragged into the car by his younger brother. After that, I heard a gunshot and then saw a cloud of blood from the back door of the car. Clinston's body was then pushed down, and the Cadillac drove away…”Charlie nodded and asked, “Does Clinston usually bully people in Oskiatown?”Angus shook his head and said, “The Oskian gang is quite decent in Oskiaatown. Although they also collect a certain amount of protection fees from us, they really help us solve some problems, especially for illegal immigrants like us. There are always people bullying us, and the Oskian gang will generally help us out. Their fees are also relatively reasonable. After all, small businesses in the United States do not have to pay taxes, but protection fees are definitely indispensable. So, the Oskian gang is
Upon hearing Janus’ orders, Angus quickly ran out. Although Oskiatown was a very complex small society, it was just a small place, after all. Therefore, everyone was very familiar with each other after spending time here. Just like its name suggested, it was just a street, albeit a street heavily populated by Oskians. The relationships between everyone here were like the relationships between neighbors in a neighborhood. Although there were still shameless and cunning people among the neighbors, they generally helped and supported each other.In the early years, the Oskians who had just arrived in the United States suffered from humiliation. Everyone could only live together and depend on each other for warmth, and the Oskian gang also developed naturally in this environment.At first, in order to protect themselves, the Oskians organized some young and strong laborers to fight against the foreign enemies together. Over time, with the continuous development of society, various oc
Charlie frowned and said, “There are nearly a hundred of you, so how could you let these five bastards strut around Oskiatown?” Daves said ashamedly, “Mr. Wade, these five people are backed by the Burning Angels, and the Burning Angels have the Italians, who actually control dozens of large and small gangs in New York with a scale of at least a few thousand people backing them up. We're simply not their match at all…”Charlie said coldly, “So what if there are thousands of them? I've never heard of a gang fight involving thousands of people in the United States. Can they bring thousands of people into Oskiatown?”Daves said awkwardly, “Mr. Wade, you don't know this, but these people are extremely ruthless. They've openly and covertly killed several of our core members of the Oskian gang. My subordinates are all scared, and all of them have backed down one after the other.”Charlie asked him, “How many of your men have the Burning Angels killed?”Daves blurted out, “They've killed
Charlie's words immediately frightened the five people, including Will, to death!How could they have thought that they had endured humiliation and torture by Charlie until now, and they were still hoping that Charlie would let them live, but who could have thought that Charlie actually brought out the leader of the Oskian gang and even instructed him to kill them.The five people were terrified, and Will said vaguely with blood in his mouth, “Mr. Wade… We have done what you asked, please spare our lives…”Charlie smiled and said, “If begging for mercy is useful, you will not have the chance to stain anyone's blood and life on your hands. Think about those people you killed. Did they beg you before they died?”After saying that, Charlie ignored Will and stuffed the gun directly into Daves' hand. After that, he said coldly, “What are you still standing there for?”Daves seemed to be struggling as he looked at the pistol in front of him. He naturally had a deep hatred for the Burnin
After that, he gritted his teeth and said sternly, “But before I leave the United States, I must fight to the death to kill a few more of them! I have to avenge my compatriots who died in Oskiatown!” Janus wanted to say something, but he held back the words when they came to his lips and just subconsciously looked at Charlie, waiting for him to speak. Charlie looked at Angus and said very seriously, “Angus, if you shoot, you still have two options. The first option is that I will arrange for someone to send you out of the United States overnight. As you said, never come back.”With that said, Charlie paused slightly, and his tone became a little higher. He continued, “As for the second option, it is to stay here and kill more people who should be killed!”Angus asked Charlie blankly, “Mr. Wade, what do you mean by the second option?”Charlie said with a serious expression and a firm tone, “Stay here, and I will help you form a new Oskian gang. From today on, anyone who insults you
Daves was ashamed when he heard this. He really didn't think highly of Angus. Besides, Charlie was also a stranger who appeared out of nowhere, so he did not believe that Charlie had the ability to help him or help Angus revive the Oskian gang under the oppression of the Burning Angels.However, he had to admit that Angus, a young man who was not very experienced in the world, was indeed more courageous than himself.Although he didn't believe in Charlie's ability, Daves also had his own concerns. If he refused Charlie, he would have to continue to hide from place to place, and there would be no chance for him to turn things around in this life.However, if he cooperated with Charlie, there might be a chance for him to turn things around.As he thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Janus, who was aside.In his opinion, Janus was an amazing person.Although he had been stuck in this store making roast goose for so many years, he was definitely the smartest person in Oski
As it turned out, the bean counters of the Moore Group had been suggesting that Jasmine axe Deluxe Vintage and other antique-related businesses.After all, Aurous Hill was hardly the heart of the nation's antique business—not even a hub, and Vintage Deluxe wouldn't grow on such soil.Moreover, their revenue wasn't optimistic.While the business wasn't exactly falling off after Mick took charge, the lack of experience amongst the management team meant they were struggling to break even.And for the bean counters, keeping Vintage Deluxe meant no profits—even net losses in the immediate future. Right now, they might still be able to package it nicely and sell it off, and selling a fixed asset coupled with brand value would more or less turn a profit. But once Vintage Deluxe started incurring losses and the brand value diminished in turn, it would be reduced to zero completely.In other words, the value of Vintage Deluxe was on a springboard—sell it anytime now, and the value would be
The Mr. Crane from the other end of the call was Mick Crane—the current manager of Vintage Deluxe, and a man whom all of Antique Street fawned over.Mick was the assistant manager to Raymond back then, and his skill in the antique trade was at best moderate. However, thanks to his friendly personality, he had managed to secure himself many decent connections down Antique Street.As such, once Jasmine had fired Raymond, Mick had taken over his position as caretaker manager. She was also aware that Mick didn't have the skills to do well as a manager, and her plan had always been to keep him as a caretaker before she found someone better.As her ties with Charlie had strengthened and he had started helping her, her position in her family had skyrocketed. However, that also meant she couldn't watch over most of Vintage Deluxe's operations.Now that she was the head of the Moore family and the leader of a dynasty worth billions, a small business like Vintage Deluxe was even less signifi
Moreover, Raymond's old identity had various occupations connected to antiques. So, his plan now was to head over to Antique Street, find a place to rest his legs, and then get a shop of moderate scale and cheap rent to start a business in Aurous Hill.He headed to the precinct at Antique Street to register his face and other details into the database, reinforcing his legal certification. The precinct then issued him a visa so that he would have clearance to stay at a hotel for a while.Most of Antique Street's stalls were closing shop by the time he left the precinct, but he picked up his backpack and went for a stroll.It was not that different from before, though he thought he would never come back at the time…Still, he hadn't been there for long when a vendor recognized him and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Aren't you Mr. Cole? From Vintage Deluxe? When did you come back?"As things hadn't changed down the street for the businesses or the environment, Vintage Deluxe was stil
Jacob shrugged. "If Hannah's debt is cleared, then she's fine now, no?""Yeah," Elaine replied. "I heard from an old friend not two days ago, saying that the document of her non-arrest… non-prosecution or whatever was sent in. Once it's approved, she's free to go home.""Most likely non-prosecution," Charlie replied."Right, I think that's it!" Elaine nodded repeatedly and sighed unhappily. "She's really been let off easy. She should be arrested and jailed for at least ten years."Jacob couldn't help sighing. "Come on, dear—Mom and Chris were out of line, but things are terrible for them now as it is. There's no reason to hope for the worst for them since Harold and Chris are still too hurt to work. It's thanks to Wendy's income that they have a living, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive."Then, worried that Elaine would get upset that he might be siding with his brother and mother too much, he quickly added, "I'm not taking their side or trying to get their case reinvest
Charlie actually had to change his opinion of Elaine after seeing her ready to kill Jacob earlier but getting all clingy now.Despite her many flaws, Elaine was the one half of their marriage who was earnestly in love.As for Jacob, he didn't seem to have any genuine feelings for Elaine at all.The mere mention of his past with Elaine always left him grumbling and complaining, but now, it was clear that Elaine was his best choice. With his attitude and the way he did things, he and Matilda would have split up by now even if they had gone to the States together.In the end, Jacob simply had too many of the flaws common amongst men his age, but while others would have no more than five out of twenty of those flaws, he had eighteen.As such, from another perspective entirely, the only woman who could tolerate Jacob now was Elaine and only Elaine. Coincidentally, her straightforward personality and tendency to get violent was the perfect counter against all of Jacob's flaws, reducing
Elaine nodded, emotional as well. "Well, Claire's finally home after being in the States for so long. Let's stop being clowns already—let's go home!"Jacob nodded, utterly relieved and teary-eyed. "Yes! Let's go home!"Meanwhile, Claire was left dumbfounded even as she watched while Charlie was left wiping the sweat off his brow—they had really just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat there!And it looked like they had truly succeeded in clearing any suspicion Elaine had of Matilda, and she most likely would do her best to avoid running into Matilda as well.That way, all the nonsense he had said wouldn't be exposed.Still, as Claire came to her senses, she told Charlie, "Darling, that was amazing! You somehow managed to talk your way out of that!"Charlie chuckled in embarrassment. "I had no choice but to sacrifice my pride for the peace in the family."Claire hugged his arm and giggled happily, "There's no victory without sacrifice. You're the best, dear!"-Meanwhile,
Though Jacob had nothing going for him, he had always had a huge ego, and he had never once admitted that he would lose to anyone in the presence of his wife and daughter.That was why both Elaine and Claire were shocked when he suddenly openly admitted that he was a piece of shit in front of them. They had never heard such a thing from him in the decades they had lived with him!In fact, Jacob himself was reluctant to insult himself like that.However, Charlie told him repeatedly that he absolutely must say it before he came here—because Charlie was dead sure that this line was the key to getting over this impasse, and it truly did put this crisis to rest.Even as Jacob finished, his heart was bleeding as he felt like he had just put his pride on the floor and trampled all over it until it was crushed to oblivion. Even though it was to clear any suspicion Elaine held toward him, to call himself a piece of shit—to say it himself that his beloved woman would think him beneath her,
Before Elaine knew it, she was reading the website she had just read again, and she did indeed find Yolden's name on it.With that, everything Charlie had said snapped together into a perfect chain of logic.Seeing the troubled look on her face, Charlie quickly added, "I'm not going to lie—Dad told me right away when he was told Matilda was getting married. We even discussed if we should tell you, and now you know why." "Matilda is doing so well for herself and got such an amazing husband, and they've picked Shangri-La's Sky Garden—something an average Joe could never hope to reach. And since she invited our whole family and not just us, Dad had to really think about it.""Eventually, he told me to hide it from you or it'd leave you devastated, so none of us said anything. We just didn't think you'd find that invitation and then end up having a big fight about it."Sighing, Charlie then continued, "But if you really want to go, we can go together for their wedding to put your min
Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
