Janus, who was aside, introduced to Charlie, “The current head of the Zanos is very clever. They've broken down their original straightforward business into multiple steps, then assigned each step to different organizations. These organizations cooperate, balance each other, and watch out for each other.”Charlie raised an eyebrow and said, “Uncle Janus, please explain in detail.”Janus explained, “My opinion is based on some external information I've heard and seen, so it may not be entirely accurate, but it shouldn't be too far off.”Janus then continued earnestly, “Actually, the Zanos’ main source of income has always been smuggling and selling drugs. They have a gang specifically for smuggling and another for selling as well as many lower-level gangs like the Burning Angels, who seize territories all over the United States.”“The basic structure of this organization is to send out a bunch of lower-level gangs to continually expand their influence nationwide. When they choose a

As Charlie was talking, a plan had already formed in his mind.Since he was already in New York, he might as well solve some problems thoroughly. Since the Zanos had extended their reach to Oskiatown and the shop that Uncle Janus had worked hard to run for decades, don't blame him for being rude.So, he said to Angus, “Angus, change out of your chef's clothes and come with me.”Angus looked at the five members of the Burning Angels and asked quickly, “Mr. Wade, what should we do with them? How about I kill them first? One shot at a time, no bullets will be wasted!”The five men were so scared that they trembled all over. They never expected that the little chef who was bullied by them to the point of not daring to fart was now determined to kill all five of them!When Charlie saw Angus's firm expression, he smiled and said, “It's too early to kill them now. Let Uncle Janus and Daves keep an eye on them first. It won't be too late to kill them after we finish our business.”Janus

Instead, they split all the illegal transactions and gave them to those seemingly unrelated puppet gangs below. In secret, they continuously pushed those gangs to expand their influence in New York and even across the entire East Coast, aiming to increase their power and overall illegal income.Meanwhile, the Zanos’ public face, led by this generation's head of the family, Antonio, was doing its best to whitewash its identity and ingratiate itself with high society. Antonio knew very well that the higher echelons of society needed tools like the mafia. However, their hypocrisy meant they wouldn't allow any open cooperation with the mafia. This meant that for a mafia family to get their attention, the first thing they needed to do was to cleanse themselves.To put it simply, what high society needed now wasn't something hidden under the bed, like a night pot. They needed something they could openly display in the bathroom, which was clean and odorless like a toilet.Traditional maf

At the same time, Charlie drove the inconspicuous Chevrolet, carrying the nervous Angus, to the outskirts of Zano Manor. From the outside, they could see that Zano Manor was very lively at the moment. The entire estate was brightly lit with a large number of mafia members in black suits standing straight on both sides of the entrance, seemingly waiting for some important person.Upon seeing this from afar, Charlie couldn't help but smile and say, “Looks like we've come at the right time. The Zanos family seems to be having some major event.”Angus swallowed nervously and asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, there are at least a few hundred people here at first glance. Are we really going in to cause trouble?”Charlie smiled and said, “Didn't I say we're going to put on a show for them? Just follow me later. I'll signal to you to give you instructions later.”He then added, “But if you're really worried, I can go in alone.”Angus spoke up without hesitation and said, “Mr. Wade, I am worried

The girl inside said helplessly, “Okay, you're right. Now, please leave first. I need some time to freshen up and get dressed!”Antonio said coldly, “I'll give you ten minutes. I'll wait here for you.”The girl had no choice but to say, “As you wish. If you're willing to wait, no one's stopping you.”Antonio chuckled coldly and warned, “Jilian, I advise you not to try to climb out the window to escape because I've already arranged for someone to watch outside your window. Once you climb out, they'll catch you and take you to the airport directly!”The girl was instantly furious. “You jerk!”Antonio, unperturbed by his daughter's insults, smiled and said, “Remember, Jilian, Sicilian girls live for their family for life! Betraying the family would be a disgrace to me. I would rather send you to Sicily and have you shear sheep for life than let you become a disgrace to the family.”The girl screamed hysterically, “Antonio Zano! I hate you!”Antonio said, “You can hate me, Jilian, b

After he was done speaking, he turned on the headlights and stepped on the accelerator to drive out.Meanwhile, inside the black sedan, Jilian, who was dressed in a white evening gown, drove the car out in a hurry. Earlier, she had deliberately damaged her dress and used that as an excuse to slip away from the main hall. She found this black sedan in the yard with its keys still in it.At this moment, Jilian had no idea where to go. She only wanted to escape quickly before anyone noticed her absence and reacted. However, just as she nervously drove the car out of the estate, a Chevrolet suddenly appeared at the entrance of the manor.She instinctively tried to brake, but for some reason, despite all her efforts, she couldn't push the brake pedal down even a bit. Unbeknownst to Jilian, this moment was exactly what Charlie had been waiting for.Regardless of who was driving, Charlie had used his Reiki to block the brake pedal and the steering wheel, making the car unable to slow do

“Extort?!”When Charlie heard this, he got angry and blurted out, “I was merely driving by here. I didn't offend anyone and was suddenly hit by this girl's car. It is natural for me to ask for compensation. How can you say I am extorting her? Don't bully the minority with your numbers, and don't think that I am afraid of you because of your numbers!”The mafia member immediately took out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at Charlie's head, and said coldly, “Get out now! If you speak more gibberish, I will shoot you to death!”Charlie said angrily, “Damn it! You are really capable. You want to shoot me in public?”At this time, Angus pushed open the passenger door of the Chevrolet, holding up the phone in his hand as he said loudly, “Mr. Charlie, I have called the police!”Charlie nodded with satisfaction, looked at the members of the mafia, and said coldly, “Aren't you going to shoot me? Come on, shoot me right here!”As he spoke, Charlie pointed to his forehead and said, “Shoo

There was no way he would let such a good opportunity slip by.So, he stubbornly said, “I want cash, and I'm waiting right here. If you don't give me the money, I'll wait for the police to arrive!”Jilian looked nervous and desperate as she pleaded bitterly, “Sir, please take me away from here, and I'll give you two hundred thousand US dollars!”Charlie remained unmoved as he insisted, “I want cash, and I want it now!”Jilian was on the verge of tears as she anxiously looked back toward the estate, fearing her father might come chasing after her. However, Charlie didn't give her any chance.At that moment, a tall, stout man in a suit hurriedly approached with a large group behind him. Jilian fell into despair when she saw this because the man in the front of the group was her father, Antonio.Antonio was furious and alarmed. He never expected that just moments after Jilian had accidentally damaged her dress and was supposedly mending it, he would receive reports that she had cras

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
