The leader was already half dead, and he had lost all his ruthlessness at the moment. His face was full of fear and anxiety.Charlie looked at him and slapped him hard on the face.The sound of slapping echoed throughout the roast goose shop.Upon seeing the man's cheek swelling up quickly, Charlie smiled and said, “Are you really thugs? Burning Angel? Who gave you this name? Look at your red and swollen face. Do you have anything to do with angels?”The man felt great pain after getting slapped on his cheek, but at this time he could only cry and say to Charlie, “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you knew martial arts. Please let us go, and we will never come here again!”Charlie frowned and slapped him hard again.This crisp sound hurt the eardrums of the four people next to him.After Charlie slapped him for the second time, he asked him with a smile, “Weren’t you very fierce just now? Your pose when you held the gun in your hand was very cool. I saw that you wanted
The man was immediately filled with fear upon seeing Charlie's stern expression and the murderous intent in his eyes.At that moment, he did not doubt Charlie's warning at all. If he didn't do as Charlie said and swallow the bullets obediently, he would surely be killed.However, the thought of swallowing those bullets made him feel uneasy. It might be easy to swallow them, but getting them out afterward would likely not be as simple.In a fleeting moment, he considered whether to use Burning Angels’ reputation to intimidate Charlie again or to negotiate like most people in the underworld do, to see if Charlie would at least show him some respect. Once both sides felt satisfied, they could gradually reconcile and become friends, and perhaps even become buddies over a drink.This kind of situation wasn't just common in Oskia but also the United States. The key was hitting the right spot to satisfy the other party.However, when it came to asking for peace, he didn't dare to say it.
Several people were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but feel scared. If Charlie could easily pull out the bullet tip with his fingers, wouldn’t one’s brain be smashed out if he really used all his strength on one’s face?However, several people didn't understand why Charlie suddenly pulled out the bullet's tip, and they didn't understand what this had to do with the forgiveness he had mentioned.At this time, Charlie looked at the man, raised the bullet in his hand that had been separated, smiled slightly, and said, “Don't you want forgiveness? This is my forgiveness. The whole bullet is not easy to swallow. I will break it up for you to swallow more conveniently.”The man felt as if he had fallen into hell in an instant as he stared at Charlie in horror. He couldn't believe that such words could come out of the mouth of the handsome young man in front of him.Charlie reminded him at this time, “By the way, don't forget to thank your good subordinate. It was he who helped you g
A magical and interesting scene is taking place in this inconspicuous roast goose shop in Oskiatown.Five gang members who were once ferocious and arrogant in Oskiatown, known for frightening countless Oskians vendors, were now kneeling on the ground, constantly stuffing golden bullets into their mouths.The 9mm pistol bullets were thick and fat, and swallowing them was much more painful than swallowing the largest capsules.Moreover, these people did not even have a glass of water to swallow the bullets, so they could only clench their teeth and swallow them raw.Will suffered the most. As his sister was one of the mistresses of the boss of Burning Angels and he was born with ruthlessness in his bones and was extremely ruthless, he also became a middle-level manager in Burning Angel. The boss of Burning Angels had handed Oskiatown to him to manage.He represented Burning Angels as the leader of Oskiatown.However, this leader was particularly miserable at the moment.His four
Angus said, “The third time was the night before yesterday. He was sitting in a Cadillac. The car was parked at the corner of the street. Clinston from the Oskian gang just came out of the nightclub and was dragged into the car by his younger brother. After that, I heard a gunshot and then saw a cloud of blood from the back door of the car. Clinston's body was then pushed down, and the Cadillac drove away…”Charlie nodded and asked, “Does Clinston usually bully people in Oskiatown?”Angus shook his head and said, “The Oskian gang is quite decent in Oskiaatown. Although they also collect a certain amount of protection fees from us, they really help us solve some problems, especially for illegal immigrants like us. There are always people bullying us, and the Oskian gang will generally help us out. Their fees are also relatively reasonable. After all, small businesses in the United States do not have to pay taxes, but protection fees are definitely indispensable. So, the Oskian gang is
Upon hearing Janus’ orders, Angus quickly ran out. Although Oskiatown was a very complex small society, it was just a small place, after all. Therefore, everyone was very familiar with each other after spending time here. Just like its name suggested, it was just a street, albeit a street heavily populated by Oskians. The relationships between everyone here were like the relationships between neighbors in a neighborhood. Although there were still shameless and cunning people among the neighbors, they generally helped and supported each other.In the early years, the Oskians who had just arrived in the United States suffered from humiliation. Everyone could only live together and depend on each other for warmth, and the Oskian gang also developed naturally in this environment.At first, in order to protect themselves, the Oskians organized some young and strong laborers to fight against the foreign enemies together. Over time, with the continuous development of society, various oc
Charlie frowned and said, “There are nearly a hundred of you, so how could you let these five bastards strut around Oskiatown?” Daves said ashamedly, “Mr. Wade, these five people are backed by the Burning Angels, and the Burning Angels have the Italians, who actually control dozens of large and small gangs in New York with a scale of at least a few thousand people backing them up. We're simply not their match at all…”Charlie said coldly, “So what if there are thousands of them? I've never heard of a gang fight involving thousands of people in the United States. Can they bring thousands of people into Oskiatown?”Daves said awkwardly, “Mr. Wade, you don't know this, but these people are extremely ruthless. They've openly and covertly killed several of our core members of the Oskian gang. My subordinates are all scared, and all of them have backed down one after the other.”Charlie asked him, “How many of your men have the Burning Angels killed?”Daves blurted out, “They've killed
Charlie's words immediately frightened the five people, including Will, to death!How could they have thought that they had endured humiliation and torture by Charlie until now, and they were still hoping that Charlie would let them live, but who could have thought that Charlie actually brought out the leader of the Oskian gang and even instructed him to kill them.The five people were terrified, and Will said vaguely with blood in his mouth, “Mr. Wade… We have done what you asked, please spare our lives…”Charlie smiled and said, “If begging for mercy is useful, you will not have the chance to stain anyone's blood and life on your hands. Think about those people you killed. Did they beg you before they died?”After saying that, Charlie ignored Will and stuffed the gun directly into Daves' hand. After that, he said coldly, “What are you still standing there for?”Daves seemed to be struggling as he looked at the pistol in front of him. He naturally had a deep hatred for the Burnin
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
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
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
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
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
