Chapter 5948

Author: Lord Leaf
He couldn't believe he was being extorted right at his own doorstep.

The critical thing was, he had no way out now.

At that moment, his trusted aide approached quietly and said, “Mr. Zano, the VIP is about to arrive.”

Antonio instantly felt nervous. He didn't want the VIP to arrive and find him arguing with someone at his doorstep.

The main issue was his daughter crashing her car into someone else's car and him refusing to compensate the other party, which was embarrassing.

He had no other choice but to nod and pull his henchman over, personally removing the pistol from his waist before he threw it on the ground. He then pushed the henchman toward the police, saying, “Take him away.”

After that, he looked at Charlie and said, “You want a hundred thousand US dollars, right? Wait here. I'll get someone to get it for you.”

The police officer was stunned to hear this and blurted out, “You're asking him for a hundred thousand US dollars?”

Charlie said matter-of-factly, “That’s right

    In Antonio's eyes, Charlie, this guy who wanted money at all costs, was simply courting death.He had already revealed his mafia identity, yet this guy still wanted to demand money from him. Wasn't that asking for trouble? Moreover, how could he possibly give him the money?!After all, although he was worth billions, every penny was hard-earned money that he had scraped together from the pockets of ordinary people. If anyone tried to take a penny from him, it was equivalent to asking for his life.Initially, he was cautious because Charlie had already called the police and they were right there. Although he had committed countless murders, he had started to clean up his act. How could he possibly lay a finger on this guy in front of the police?However, who could have predicted that this guy would actually ask to come into his home to get the money? Wasn't this just walking into a lion's den?As soon as Charlie stepped through his door, away from the police's watchful eyes, he cou

    Jilian, who was being restrained, said to Charlie very nervously at this time, “He will kill you! Go quickly, don't stay here!”Charlie smiled and said, “I have never been to Sicily. Today, I have the opportunity to experience the hospitality of the Sicilians in New York. Wouldn't it be a loss if I don't experience it well?”After saying that, he headed straight toward the manor and walked in. As Charlie walked, he said, “Oh, to be honest, your manor is not very good. Although it is next to Long Island, it is not actually within the scope of Long Island. It is more like the gate of Long Island. The real rich people in New York live on Long Island. What's the matter with you, living in this place? Are you here to watch the gate for the rich people living in Long Island?”As he spoke, he slapped his forehead and said with a smile, “Look at me! I almost forgot that your job is related to the underworld! It's nothing more than the death of the poor, the bodyguard of the rich, and the

    At this moment, Aman, who was over fifty years old, was dressed in a very elegant high-end suit with a sharp hairstyle. He maintained a good physique and did not show any signs of aging at all. He appeared to be around forty years old.When Antonio saw Aman, he immediately ingratiated himself deeply, just like a grandson eagerly awaiting a treat from his grandfather despite being the mafia figure who had just threatened to kill Charlie earlier.Aman remained calm as he looked at Antonio with a slightly condescending demeanor and said, “Antonio, you’re waiting here to greet me even though it’s so late. You’ve worked hard.”Antonio was flattered and quickly responded, “Sir, it's my honor to serve you, and it’s an honor for the Zano family.”He continued eagerly, “Mr. Ramovic, I've already prepared a sumptuous dinner. Please come to the dining hall in the mansion.”Aman waved his hand dismissively and said, “Whether there's a dinner or not doesn't matter. I ate on the plane. It's jus

    However, after searching around, he found that aside from the mafia, hardly anyone in the United States with significant influence was willing to get close to him.The reason Antonio had caught his attention was ultimately due to his beautiful daughter. Aman had experienced multiple failed marriages, including a recent unsuccessful attempt to marry Helena. He hadn’t been able to find a suitable woman recently.Antonio's daughter, Jilian, was young and beautiful, and Antonio, knowing Aman's preferences, told him that Jilian admired him greatly. Antonio even expressed willingness to marry Jilian to him, hoping he would feel the warmth of an American home.In the past, Aman would have dismissed the daughter of a mafia boss. After all, he was a globally renowned businessman, and in his eyes, the mafia was dirty and vile. Marrying into a mafia family would have been a step down for him.However, circumstances were different now. He was viewed similarly unfavorably by Western Europeans

    Antonio, though younger than Aman, was earnest and resolute in his desire to become his father-in-law. In order to please his chosen future son-in-law, he stepped forward and courteously whispered, “Mr. Ramovic, rest assured that Jilian has been eagerly awaiting your arrival. She admires you greatly, but being young, she may seem a bit shy. If there are any shortcomings later on, please don't take it to heart.”Aman nodded slightly with a smile, remarking casually, “I'm over thirty years older than Miss Jilian, so I'll naturally be more understanding and accommodating toward her.”Antonio was delighted and said repeatedly, “That's good, that's good! Mr. Ramovic, please come inside the mansion so we can chat leisurely!”Aman nodded in agreement and was accompanied by Antonio as he stepped through the gate into the mansion.As they walked, Aman glanced around Antonio's mansion and casually commented, “Antonio, Zano Mansion is a bit small in size, and this area doesn't seem to be with

    Charlie smiled and said, “Don't worry. I'll have your dad kneeling to send me out this door in half an hour.”Jilian was completely speechless at Charlie’s words. Despite her kind heart, as the young lady of the Zano family, she had long been accustomed to life-and-death struggles. Therefore, when faced with Charlie's reckless behavior, she lost the patience to continue advising him politely. She said coldly, “I've already said what needs to be said. If you're bent on seeking death, then good luck to you.” As soon as Jilian was done speaking, Antonio arrived with Aman. Antonio did not notice Charlie at first, and his attention was solely on his daughter, Jilian. Aman, who was standing beside him, also focused his gaze on Jilian, clearly very satisfied with her appearance.Antonio approached Jilian and hastily said, “Jilian, hurry and greet Mr. Ramovic!”Jilian replied expressionlessly, “I don't know any Mr. Ramovic. I'm leaving now, please don't stop me.”Antonio's expression i

    At this moment, Aman felt as if he had seen a ghost. He couldn't believe he would see Charlie, who was as formidable as a comet was in New York, in the home of a mafia leader!Since his last failed attempt to win Helena over, Charlie had become a nightmare in Aman's mind. It wasn't just because Charlie had ruined his plan to marry a royal princess, but more importantly, Charlie had slapped him repeatedly.Although Aman had a humble upbringing and suffered a lot when he was young, once he became a tycoon, no one dared to order him around, let alone hit him. Charlie was absolutely unique in this regard.According to Aman's usual temper, he would definitely seek revenge afterward and try to take Charlie's life. However, the last time, Aman had chosen to endure it mainly because Charlie was ultimately from the Wades from Eastcliff, which was much wealthier than himself. Naturally, he had some fear.However, what was even more crucial was that the powerful Ten Thousand Armies was backin

    So, he pointed at Charlie and asked Antonio, “Do you know him?”Antonio shook his head and said, “No, there was just a little friction, which was a bit unpleasant. If you know him, for your sake, I will let go of the friction between him and me. If you are not satisfied, I will apologize to this gentleman.”At this time, Antonio was a little nervous. He was also worried that Charlie and Aman were friends or acquaintances. If Aman had committed a strange crime, it would have been difficult for him to end it, so he humbly expressed his attitude first, which was also a way out for himself.When Aman heard this, he immediately had an idea in his mind as he thought to himself, ‘I never thought that Charlie and Antonio would fight! This is Antonio's manor, Antonio's absolute home court. Countless mafia killers are waiting in ambush in the entire manor and near the manor, and Charlie seems to have only one follower with him. In this case, as long as Antonio gives an order, even if Charlie

    Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use

    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 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.
