Chapter 6040

Author: Lord Leaf
By using his power, Gustavo had gotten the bed next to Charlie. He was just about to chat with Charlie to butter him up when the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed.

He quickly took out the phone and looked at it. He was a bit surprised to see that it was a call from Bruce.

'What the fuck?!' Gustavo cursed in his mind. 'How dare he call me?! Does he think he is a big shot?'

At some point, Gustavo had a clear reluctance to answer calls.

He disliked the feeling of answering the phone more and more because he felt that the calls would upset him. He preferred his subordinates to respectfully report to him or send him text messages in a dignified tone.

On the contrary, he preferred to make phone calls when it came to giving orders because he liked the pleasure of direct command.

Everyone around Gustavo knew about his dislike of answering phone calls, so they usually sent a message that started with "Dear Mr. Sanchez". He hadn't received a call like this in years.

    Bruce quickly said, "Don't worry. I can go back to prison now as long as you can help me. I can receive your treatment there..." Charlie hummed and confided, "It's just that the treatment is tedious and takes time, and you have to be naked. More importantly, the treatment is quite painful, and you will definitely scream. Are you sure you want the people here to know about it?" Bruce hastily affirmed, "Don't worry about that. I'll have my most trusted guard take you out of the cell and secretly bring you to my office. I'll be waiting for you there. The soundproofing is very good. No one will hear anything. It will be a secret between us." Bruce attentively hoped to keep this situation a secret because it was too embarrassing. He could have vacated a room in the prison so that Charlie could treat him, but on second thought, he realized that no place was absolutely safe. After all, this was a prison. Many places had no blind spots and were patrolled 24 hours a day. He would be doo

    Bruce's face was contorted in agony when he returned to the prison with Michael's help. He felt a wave of helplessness wash over him, the pain unrelenting. Due to the strict management of the prison, only authorized personnel were allowed to enter. Bruce ordered his trusted subordinates to bring him in to avoid suspicion and asked Michael to return to the hospital. After returning to the office, Bruce ordered his subordinate to go to Charlie's cell and take him out, all the while enduring severe pain. The prison guard went to the door of Charlie's cell, unlocked the gate, and commanded, "Who is Charlie Wade? Come out." Charlie leisurely got up from the bed and silently walked to the door. The guard first closed the cell door, then whispered to Charlie, "The warden is waiting for you in the office. Come with me." Charlie nodded and followed the guard out of the prison area. The guard first took him to the prison's infirmary. The doctor in the infirmary was off duty. The guar

    "Reiki?" Bruce asked, bewildered. "What's that?" Instead of answering his question, Charlie coldly asked, "There's a secret passage in your office, isn't there? Did you lock Biden Cole under the secret passage?" Bruce stared at Charlie in astonishment and muttered, "W-What... W-Who the hell are you?! How do you know about the secret passage and Biden Cole?" "I came here because of him." Charlie grinned. Then, Charlie penetrated his Reiki into Bruce's brain and commanded in a stern tone, "Answer me!" Bruce trembled all over. His brain immediately regarded Charlie as an honorable figure, and he answered truthfully, "There is indeed a secret passage behind my office, which is an elevator shaft, and there is a secret cell under it. Biden is locked up there.""Who else is there besides him?" Charlie asked. "No one..." Bruce replied. "He's the only one there, locked in a completely sealed room. I send him food and water once a day." Charlie continued, "Why did the Rothschild f

    Charlie stepped into the narrow elevator with Bruce following close behind. The control panel in the elevator only had one green button. Bruce pressed the button and explained, "If someone is at the bottom, press this button to go up. If someone is at the top, press this button to go down. You can't stop in the middle." Charlie nodded. As the elevator started moving down, he looked at Bruce and asked, "How deep is it down here?" "60 meters," Bruce answered. Charlie asked curiously, "How did you secretly dig such a deep elevator shaft?" Bruce detailed, "Although Brooklyn Prison is a federal prison, it has long been controlled by the Rothschild family. A few years ago, they donated a sum of money to renovate the prison. In fact, the money was mainly used to build this elevator shaft and underground fortifications." He paused for a second and continued, "From the looks of it, there is only one access, but there is a one-way underground access that can be opened from the outsid

    The room was about 20 square meters. There was an open space of about 7 square meters outside the room without any furniture or objects. There was only a toilet and a faucet with a small stream of water running inside. A man with a full beard and disheveled hair covering half his face was sitting crookedly on the toilet. A solid metal collar was placed around his neck. Behind the collar was an iron chain as thick as a thumb. The length of the iron chain was short enough that he could not reach the open space no matter what. He could only be confined to the corner of the room. The floor was damp and cold. There was no place to sit or lie down. There was not even a straw mat, let alone a mattress. The harsh environment had caused the man to curl up on the toilet to sleep with great difficulty. At this moment, the man heard the commotion and raised his head weakly. As he and Charlie exchanged glances, his eyes widened in utter shock as if he had been struck by lightning, and his who

    Charlie urged without hesitation, "Let's go outside and talk!" "No..." Raymond shook his head and insisted, "We'll talk here."He pointed at Bruce, who was standing there dazed, and assured, "He's the only one who came here recently. Since you've controlled him, we are absolutely safe for now. I need to explain something to you right now." Charlie hesitated for a moment before nodding lightly. "Alright. Let me heal you first, then we'll talk." With that, he placed his fingers on Raymond's meridian and transferred some Reiki into the latter’s body. The Reiki restored and greatly improved Raymond’s physical condition. Raymond gasped in surprise, feeling the healing power within him, "It seems that you have mastered the Apocalyptic Book. Your father would be very pleased." Since Raymond was getting better, Charlie told Bruce to stand guard outside the room, and he and Raymond sat on the floor. Raymond started, "What do you want to know? Just ask, and I'll answer you." Charl

    "Yes." Raymond nodded. "The unofficial history I read recorded that when Huang Chao started the rebellion, he was lucky enough to be assisted by a master who located and obtained the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. Huang Chao failed to succeed as an emperor despite the help of the treasure tower. As a result, the tower fell into the hands of Zhu Wen. “However, the tower couldn't play its true role as Zhu Wen didn't have talented people who studied the Book of Changes. Since then, the whereabouts of the tower have been unknown." Raymond paused for a moment before continuing, "The tower resurfaced several hundred years later in the hands of Nurhaci. According to the legend, Nurhaci was blessed by the tower. The nation's fortunes soared. It coincided with the decline of the Ming Dynasty and continued to grow stronger. Then, the country entered the Qing Dynasty, and they finally successfully conquered the land." Charlie asked, intrigued, "In that case, the tower must have been a national

    Charlie finally knew the whole story of Raymond's imprisonment in Brooklyn Prison. He sighed lightly. "I was skeptical at first. With the Rothschild family's power, if you had really stolen from them, they would not have to settle it through legal means. It turned out that you called the police and surrendered." "That's right." Raymond nodded and lamented helplessly, "In this country, even though the family is powerful enough to override the law, they do not want to cause public anger. I did indeed steal from them, but since I turned myself in, the case must go through the legal process.” "In this case, they cannot take me away directly. After all, I'm famous in antique dealing, and I know people. If they arrest and torture me and the news gets out, the police will suffer the humiliation. "So, the family can only settle for the second best option and let the court do their things and imprison me. However, no matter how badly they torture me, they can't kill me because I was onl

    Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

    Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

    Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

    Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

    Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

    The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

    The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
