"Aye aye, captain!" The man slapped Jonah without hesitation. The inmate on the other side of Jonah swiftly joined the man to slap Jonah too. Both men were too tired to lift their arms before they could complete 100 slaps. Jonah, on the other hand, was worse off. His face was completely swollen. Someone would have mistaken him as a corpse that had been drowned in water for weeks. Jonah fainted by the time the slapping was over. One of the men asked respectfully, "Sir, the 100 slaps are over. What should we do with him?" "Drag him to the bathroom and leave him there." Charlie waved his hand. "Aye aye, sir!" the man replied. He signaled toward the other man, and both of them carried the unconscious Jonah to the bathroom. The introductions then continued. Most of the remaining inmates had been arrested for murder and assault. Almost all of them were gang members in New York, and some were Dean's underlings. After the inmates had finished introducing themselves, Charlie turne
The inmates would have given Charlie the cold shoulder had this happened a few hours ago. However, after experiencing and witnessing Charlie's wrath and ruthlessness, the inmates did not think that Charlie's request was excessive. Therefore, they nodded vigorously, fearing that Charlie would be upset if they didn't respond quickly enough. Seeing them nodding in agreement, Charlie smiled and commanded, "Since you have no objections, we will start right away. The cell is so dirty and smelly, so you should clean it first. It must be spotless, or you will all be punished." Without hesitation, the inmates immediately began to clean the cell. In order to fulfill Charlie's request, those who could move immediately joined in the spring cleaning. Some were in charge of removing all the bedding that had not been cleaned and bringing them to the bathroom, some washing the bedding, while the rest started to clean the cell. They were fully aware of the consequences if Charlie was not sa
Charlie asked, "What about Area 2?" Dean responded, "The boss of Area 2 is Moses Norris, the boss of the New York mafia ten years ago. Back then, he was infamous in New York and had many members under him. The Italians from Sicily didn't even dare to fart in New York when he was still out there, but ever since he was imprisoned, the Italians rose and took over the streets." Charlie nodded and asked, "How long until dinner?" Dean looked at the digital clock and replied, "Forty minutes." "Okay." Charlie nodded and instructed, "Introduce Leandro to me when we get to the dining area.""Sure!" Dean agreed respectfully. Charlie smiled slightly and suddenly reproached, "By the way, you won't try to snitch on me during mealtime, will you?" "No, I won't, sir!" Dean waved his hand hastily and promised, "Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I won't tell the guards anything. There's an unwritten rule in the prison that we solve our problems ourselves and shall never seek the guards' help.
In order to fulfill Charlie's demand, the fifteen inmates started cleaning up the cell immediately. They threw all the bedding that had not been changed in a long time into the bathroom. Some inmates were in charge of washing the bedding while the rest started cleaning all corners of the cell. As for the injured, they tried their best to participate by all means. Those with broken legs sat on the floor and wiped the lower part of the wall, and those with broken arms stepped on the towel and wiped the floor. Because of the large number of people and the small space, it didn't take long for the inmates to make the cell spotless. None of the fifteen inmates would have thought that their cell would one day be cleaner than a five-star hotel room. They knew that they would be beaten if Charlie was not happy with the result, and he would not be merciful when punishing them. The floor that used to be sticky and dirty was now as shiny as new, and it was so slippery they had to be care
Jonah shuddered in fear when he heard the word "Father" and snapped, "No! Don't call me Father! I'm no longer a priest!" In the past, Jonah enjoyed being addressed as ‘Father’. Many prisoners had religious beliefs although they had committed countless crimes. They would respect a priest when they saw one in prison even though they knew that the priest might have done something wrong to be convicted and imprisoned. However, Jonah knew that Charlie was upset with him because of his past identity as a priest. He could see his bleak future when he thought of the punishment of 100 slaps per day. Therefore, he gathered his courage, went to the guard, and whispered, "Can you do me a favor and transfer me to another cell? I don't like this one..." Except for Charlie, all the prisoners gasped and glanced at Jonah in shock as soon as Jonah spoke. The rule of Brooklyn Prison was that internal affairs would be handled internally. Whoever went to the guards for help was breaking the rul
Charlie asked, "Do you have a boss here?" Dean shook his head and replied, "The boss of Area 1 is Gustavo. He looks down on hooligans like us and won't let us get too close to the other bosses here, so we don't dare to disobey his orders. Otherwise, I would go to Moses because he is from New York and is our senior." Charlie asked curiously, "Since Gustavo looks down on you, why doesn't he let you off to the other bosses?" Dean sighed and lamented, "Gustavo has too many enemies. Rumor has it that he killed at least thousands of people when he was making his way up in Mexico, and many of them were government officials. Countless people in Mexico want to take revenge on him, so he is very concerned about his safety. Anyone who forms a gang in Area 1 is a certain threat to him. If he finds someone in Area 1 forming a gang, especially with people from Area 2, he will issue a death warning. He has his own army in Mexico and will send a team to kill the whole family. It's too much of a
Seeing Dean drooling at Gustavo's dinner, Charlie asked curiously, "Has Gustavo always been so lofty here?" "Yes," Dean responded and hissed in pain as his own saliva came into contact with the wound in his mouth. Then, he cleared his throat, frowned a little because of the pain, and continued, "He has been this high-profile since the day he was imprisoned. He brought the chef over from Mexico. I heard they have a specific corner in the kitchen where his chef makes three meals for him daily." Speaking of this, Dean whined in envy, "Brooklyn Prison is a federal prison, and it doesn't permit conjugal visits, but Gustavo has privileges. He has three three-hour conjugal visits a week. I even heard that his underlings arrange women for his entertainment from time to time..." Charlie frowned skeptically as he noted Dean's envious expression. "Why are you jealous? Aren't you gay?" "I-I..." Dean spluttered with a miserable wince. "I'm not... I wouldn't have touched those guys if I had
Charlie was somewhat shocked to hear that the Rothschild family would work with a drug lord like Gustavo. In his opinion, the Rothschild family was the most powerful in the world with hundreds of years of history that had become a great family that valued its reputation and dignity. He couldn't imagine the Rothschild family associating themselves with criminal groups and outlaws, let alone putting Gustavo in the prison that was controlled by them. It sounded a bit unreasonable. Noticing Charlie's skeptical expression, Leandro lowered his voice and explained, "The U.S. government has been trying to extradite Gustavo for trial. Gustavo has also been resisting with the Mexican government, hoping not to be extradited. He and his sons had been preparing to fight back and make a huge mess if the Mexican government decided to extradite them.” “In the end, the Rothschild family mediated. Eventually, Gustavo agreed to be extradited to the U.S. for trial on the condition that there woul
