The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5967
Antonio was the underground emperor of all of New York, so when he summoned those gang leaders, every one of them responded eagerly and promptly.Moreover, Charlie's instructions to Antonio were quite misleading. Antonio acted according to Charlie's instructions and told the gang leaders that he had a very important business deal to discuss with them in person. He also instructed them to bring their most trusted confidant to the roast goose shop in Oskiatown for a confidential meeting.Furthermore, Charlie instructed Antonio to inform these leaders that this business was exceptionally important. That was why it was chosen to be discussed in Oskiatown, to avoid drawing unwanted attention. Antonio specifically warned them not to tell anyone else about this matter except their confidants, or they would be permanently expelled from the Zano family's territory.These gang leaders all relied on Antonio for their livelihoods. They could maintain their territories in New York not only throu

He came from humble beginnings and didn't understand much about political maneuvering. His philosophy was simple, that was, as long as his brothers worked hard alongside him, he would ensure they were well taken care of. If there was food on his plate, there would be soup for his brothers.However, Maikey was much smarter compared to him. When Maikey graduated from high school, he was the only talented student from his African-American neighborhood to be accepted into a reputable public university that year.In that neighborhood, crime and divorce rates were sky-high. Many young people learned to shoot and do drugs before they even grew facial hair. If a day passed without a gunfight in the area, everyone would have trouble sleeping due to the unfamiliarity.In such an environment, Maikey's acceptance into university was a testament to his exceptional intellect. However, once he entered university, the stark contrast between his impoverished background and the lavish lifestyles of w

Charlie wanted to use this trick to turn all the gangs in New York into his puppets in one night.After returning, these surviving second-in-commands who were completely shocked would never dare to disobey Charlie again, considering that Charlie was backed by the powerful Ten Thousand Armies. They would definitely obey Charlie's orders wholeheartedly.The Zano family's decades of hard work would also be cut off by Charlie after tonight.Antonio, who had already accepted his fate, could only lament to Danial at this time. “Danial, not only us but also the leaders of other gangs. When they arrive one after another, we will go to Syria together and set off early tomorrow morning.”Danial was even more surprised and asked him, “Boss, we are a gang, not mercenaries. What can we do in Syria? We can't go to Syria to grab territory, right? The people over there are much fiercer compared to us. We are still using 9mm pistols to grab territories, but they should be running around with RPGs t

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

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
Chapter 6602
In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice

Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
Chapter 6599
Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d
