The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5970
Antonio made full use of his identity as the underground emperor of New York. Every gang leader he notified arrived eagerly and excitedly.However, no one could have expected that waiting for them in Oskiatown was a scene where they were all tightly bound with stinky rags stuffed in their mouths. They were huddled together in a corner of the second floor of a roast goose restaurant alongside other top members from various gang units.As more people arrived, Antonio grew increasingly anxious.During a brief lull between the last batch being taken upstairs and the next one arriving, he couldn't help but ask Charlie miserably, “Mr. Wade… I've tricked all these gang bosses into going to Syria. I’m betraying all of them. When we get to Syria, if they join forces to come after me, I won't end up dead there, right?”Charlie smiled and asked him, “So, what do you think should be done?”Antonio swallowed nervously and cautiously said, “Since I'm cooperating like this, why don’t you leave m

Charlie pointed to Antonio beside him and said, “This is the boss of the New York Mafia. Get acquainted with each other. There are quite a few prominent figures from New York gangs upstairs. You should greet them one by one later. These people have a rebellious nature. When I deal with them alone, they won't be convinced. It requires someone like you, famous, well-connected, and with a team behind you, to truly intimidate them. After daybreak, you will take him and his men by boat out of the United States and then arrange to go to Syria, handing them directly over to Hamed.”Porter nodded immediately and said, “Okay, Mr. Wade. Is there anything else you want to instruct me or convey to Commander Hamed?”Charlie glanced at Antonio and continued, “This is Antonio, a true Sicilian man despite having a lame leg. Tell Hamed that medical conditions in Syria are limited, so he doesn't need to bother treating him. Just find a carpenter to make him a wooden leg. They're in the middle of const

Charlie smiled and said, “If I had the same knowledge as you, I would have learned your method and let Antonio kill you.”As he said that, Charlie looked at Antonio and asked him, “Antonio, I have a proposal for you. If you are willing to kill Aman, I will let you stay in New York and continue to manage the Zano family. What do you think?”When Antonio heard this, he didn't care whether what Charlie said was true or not. He blurted out without hesitation, “Mr. Wade! As long as you give me a gun, I will beat Aman's head into a pile of flesh now!”Aman's face turned pale.He didn't know whether Charlie really meant this. After all, he had thought of using Antonio to kill Charlie just a few hours ago. If Charlie also used his own method to treat him, he would definitely die in Antonio's hands.When Charlie saw that Aman's face was full of fear, he smiled and said, “You don't have to be so scared. I've already said that I won't argue with you.”Aman was relieved immediately. At this

Aman knew that Charlie sparing his life was already repaying kindness with enmity. In this situation, his best choice was to take what he could get and not attempt to plead further. Otherwise, if Charlie changed his mind, he might end up with an even worse offer.He could only say to Charlie helplessly, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, when I get to Syria, I will do my best to collaborate deeply with Commander Hamed, and contribute as much as I can…”Charlie nodded approvingly and said with a smile, “Good, good. Mr. Ramovic, you are a righteous man. There aren't many truly righteous people left in this society.”After saying that, Charlie checked the time and said to Porter, “Porter, it's dawn, and almost everyone has arrived. Arrange for the ship and then go upstairs to administer a strong dose to those upstairs. You can then set sail with them to leave the United States.”Porter nodded respectfully and asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, how exactly should I administer the strong dose? Do you have

The crowd wondered what Antonio was up to as they watched his bizarre movements in confusion.It wasn’t until Antonio hopped and revealed the lower half of his body that everyone realized one of his legs was gone. What was even more startling was the dreadful state of his injury. He hadn’t seemed to have dealt with the wound of his severed leg. The blood in the wound was still fresh, and it looked shocking to the eye.Antonio had long since lost his aura as a mafia leader.To minimize these people's hatred toward him, Antonio took off his hat after laboriously jumping up to the second floor.The view made the crowd even more speechless. Both of Antonio's ears had been cut off, leaving only bloody scars.Antonio's horrific injuries showed that he must have been subjected to inhumane torture. At this point, it went without saying that someone else had tricked them into coming here today and bound them together. Right at this moment, Charlie and Porter walked up the stairs one af

These leaders would not submit to Charlie even if Charlie killed Antonio right in front of them today. They might pretend to be submissive just to stay alive. However, once they escaped this hell hole, the first thing they would do was to come back—loaded up on guns and guys—and kill Charlie. Moreover, Charlie had told them to submit to the Oskian Gang and give their income to the gang. It meant that they would be able to leave here alive, didn't it? They weren't intimidated knowing they would be alive at the end of the day. All they had to do now was to be patient and wait for the chance to retaliate. Therefore, they secretly scoffed at Charlie's offer, but since their mouths were stuffed and they were bound together, they put on indifferent expressions. On the other hand, Charlie couldn't care less about their response. He smirked and continued, "Also, guys, listen carefully. From tomorrow onwards, each of you must have a full-time financial advisor. This person will keep d

These gangsters were full of rage earlier, but after Porter finished talking, they huddled together and shivered violently in fear. Charlie sneered in amusement as he looked at their frightened expressions. These gangsters were always so nasty and arrogant. Today was finally the day where they were scared out of their wits. The best way to deal with these evil forces in the United States was to double-cross them. You had to fight knives with guns and be more fearsome than they were. Moreover, morality did not exist in the people in this line of work. Morality was a more stringent code of conduct than the law. All illegal things violated morality, but not all things that violated morality were illegal. Every penny earned by these gangsters was obtained by violating the law. To them, morality meant nothing as they didn't even take the law seriously. Hence, the best way to deal with them was to be more ruthless than them. Charlie also knew that his deterrent power was far from

Porter nodded promptly and said, "Roger that!"Charlie then pointed to Angus and said to Porter, "Also, from now on, if anything happens to him, be it natural or man-made, kill all these people immediately!"Gasps echoed in the room as soon as the crowd heard Charlie's statement. They continuously emitted grunts, as if they had great objections to this decision.Charlie sneered and continued, "Since we are discussing this together, we can't stop them from talking." Porter turned to Porter and instructed, "Remove their gags. Let's hear what they have to say."With a nod, Porter waved his hand at his men, marched forward, and took out the things stuffed in the gangsters' mouths."I-It's not fair!" As soon as the gag was removed, one man roared in fury, "What if he died because of some stupid accident? Why do you have to kill us because of that?!""He's right!" Everyone else nodded hastily as the person spoke out their thoughts. "It's not fair!"With a smirk, Charlie mocked, "Oh! D

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6494
"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme
