Charlie’s words stunned Andre, Gopher, and the rest of the gang.Gopher couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Isn’t it enough for what’s-his-name to lose his mind? Has Mr. Wade also lost his marbles too?’While Gopher was caught up in his thoughts, Porter clasped one of his hands over the other in front of Charlie. After that, he turned to Gopher and Andre, and said indifferently, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Porter Waldron.”“Porter Waldron?!” Gopher was stunned to hear the name. He found it particularly familiar, but he couldn’t put a finger to it.At this time, Andre sneered, “Your name’s Porter Waldron? Damn! No wonder why you’re so arrogant. You have the same name as the famous lord of Ten Thousand Armies!”Then, it dawned on the crowd!No wonder this name sounded so familiar!Porter Waldron, the famous lord of Ten Thousand Armies, was a legendary god-like figure.However, none of them believed that the Porter in front of them was the same Porter Waldron who was the

At that moment, Andre thought he had found a way out. Without an ounce of hesitation, he nodded and declared eagerly, “Mr. Wade, I’d like to join the Ten Thousand Armies!” Charlie nodded, pleased. Things were going right according to plan. He then turned to Gopher and asked, “What about you, Gopher? Are you interested in joining the Ten Thousand Armies?” Gopher looked up and said earnestly, “Mr. Wade, I…I’m more than interested… Joining the Ten Thousand Armies is such an honor!” He continued to flatter Charlie, adding, “Mr. Wade… Since our gang will be under your wing, there’s something I wonder if I should tell you…” Judging from the way Gopher’s eyes were darting around, Charlie knew that the man bore ill will. Still, whatever plot Gopher had wouldn’t shake him. And so, he waved and smiled leisurely, and said, “Go ahead.” Gopher began excitedly, “Mr. Wade, our country has an old adage saying that people of a different ethnicity or race can’t be trusted. Now that you’ve take

Andre’s confession sent all the Italian gang members thunderstruck. Someone glared at Gopher and demanded darkly, “Is Andre telling the truth?!” “O-of course not!” Gopher was quick to deny, but voice trembled slightly as he spoke. He pointed at Andre and snarled, “Shut up, Andre! Now that Mr. Wade is letting me be boss, you’re acting like I’m stealing all your influence! You know you’re at risk of losing power, so you slander me with a lie. You’re painting me as a shameless villain so Mr. Wade will be disappointed in me. But Mr. Wade is a brilliant man. He won’t fall for your lies!” At this, a strange grin appeared on Charlie’s face. He played along with Gopher and snapped icily, “Andre, your tactic is quite despicable! The way I see it, this b*stard, err, this man looks loyal and honest. His words are reliable, and he even has a good hairstyle. It’s obvious he’s a loyal person. He’d never be ungrateful.” Having said that, Charlie narrowed his eyes at Andre in distaste. His ton

Andre had tossed caution to the wind, no longer caring if he would be implicated as well. He feared that Charlie would actually promote Gopher. With the Gopher’s style of conduct, he would surely get rid of Andre the moment he got the chance. Andre would rather expose this incident than let Gopher make it to the top! This clear recording was actually a trump card he kept should he ever need to subdue Gopher. To think he ended up using it at a time like this… What rotten luck! In fact, Gopher himself was aware that Andre would definitely leave evidence behind. Since ancient times, proof of loyalty was simply leverage offered to the other party. If he wanted to join, he couldn’t be free of sin. This was an organization where people killed for goods and dominated territories with violence. No one would trust a person who was free of guilt, or treat him like part of them. The only way to join was to kill a few men himself. He even had to bring the heads of those he killed,

At Gopher’s threat, Charlie stared at him with an amused smirk. “Wow! You’re nearing your death, but you’re still trying to harm Stephanie? I’m astonished.” Gopher wasn’t confident in his chances, but he knew this was his only way of surviving. Thus, he put on a savage expression and sneered at Charlie, “I’ve instructed my men to capture her when you were gambling at the casino! If you kill me, Stephanie will never see the light of day!” Charlie frowned. “Why did you want to kidnap Stephanie? How is a girl like her of any use to you? Or were you able to predict my plans?” Gopher gritted his teeth and went on, “In certain aristocratic societies, a girl like Stephanie is the strongest hard currency! Hell, she has more value than gold or jewelry! With her exceptional looks and the fact that she’s clean and not at all promiscuous, she can fetch up to a million dollars among the rich!” Then, Gopher added viciously, “Most of the rich men who bid on girls in auctions have mental iss
