Semua Bab The Charismatic Charlie Wade: Bab 4041 - Bab 4050

Gopher stared at Claudia in shock after hearing what she said. After a moment of hesitation, he dropped on his knees and choked out, “Claudia, I… I was confused. I beg you, give me a chance to change! I’m willing to do anything if you’ll spare my life! We’re relatives, after all! Blood runs thicker than water! Please spare me on account of that! Just this once!” Claudia’s face was icy. “Gopher, don’t you find it amusing to say something like that? You forsook the fact that we’re related by blood and killed my family. Yet now you dare beg me?! I’ve killed you in my dreams countless times every night in the past few months! I’ve been looking forward to the day my wish will come true, and now, I finally have the chance. I’d rather die with you than spare you!” Upon hearing that, Gopher knew that he was destined to die today. And so, he retracted his begging face and laughed. “Who would’ve known… You’re so young, but you’re already so cunning and cruel. Had I known this would happen, I

He started wailing in fright. “Claudia, I’m begging you... Do it quickly! Just shoot me, please! You’ll be traumatized for the rest of your life if you choose to burn me today! You don’t want your conscience to be tortured every day, do you?!” Claudia shook her head and said firmly, “I want to move forward instead of living in hatred for the rest of my life. I’ll stop hating you once I watch you burn to ashes!” Having said that, she dug out the S. T. Dupont lighter that she had prepared for months from her pocket. Her late father had loved this type of lighter. It would make a crisp clicking sound when the cap was popped open. In the past, whenever she heard this sound, she knew that her father was smoking again, so she would nag at him for a bit. Upon her father’s passing, she had bought the same type of lighter. Whenever she missed her family, she would take out this lighter, listen to the familiar clicking sound, watch the light flicker, and reminisce the happy times she h

Charlie didn’t tell her the remainder of his thoughts. He would surely give them a chance, but instead of letting them go home to start a new life, they would have to follow the Ten Thousand Armies to the Middle East and change their ways there. Of course, his main purpose was to have them work hard. Whether or not they actually changed for the better wasn’t important to him. Subsequently, Claudia and Stephanie were escorted away from the cargo hold by a few female soldiers. The burnt Gopher remained erect in the middle of the warehouse with fumes still rising from his body. The warehouse that could hold about ten thousand tonnes worth of goods was now filled with a burnt smell. The Italian organization members, along with Andre, were all staring at Gopher’s corpse. Each of them looked horrified and afraid. Having them witness Gopher’s tragic death had deterred them a great deal. Andre even felt a heart attack approaching due to extreme fear that Charlie would do the same

Charlie frowned. “This Italian organization alone managed to kidnap about six girls. If a few other gangs were involved as well and each of them supplied about six girls, that would be at least twenty to thirty people. Aren’t they quite bold to allow that many people to go missing at once? Don’t they fear the investigation of the Vancouver police?”Porter nodded. “I found it strange as well at first, but after some interrogation, we found out that they have a complex relationship with the police. The targets are mostly illegal immigrants, and they would also threaten the victim’s family against making a fuss, so on the whole, the number of missing people in Vancouver looks rather average on paper.” Then, Porter added, “Also, I heard that their supplier has a much stronger background. For excellent girls such as Ms. Lewis, they would supply them to wealthy and affluent people in Europe and the United States, so some of the buyers might be hidden tycoons or aristocrats. Rather strong

Charlie frowned hard. Somehow, his instincts told him that the highest-ranking VIP was probably interested in Stephanie. Just then, the communicator on the freighter sounded, and a man’s voice came through, “Vancouver 003, respond if you copy.”The Italian organization member looked at Charlie and asked nervously, “Should I... respond?”Charlie nodded. “Respond as you always do.”“Got it.”The Italian man picked up the communicator and said, “This is Vancouver 003, I copy.”The other party said, “Bring the goods to the deck and prepare for handover.”The Italian asked. “How should we handover? Should we bring them to you, or will you come over to take them?”The other party instructed, “Bring the goods to the deck first and make sure their faces aren’t covered. We will send a drone over to verify their identities. After the verification is done, we will send a speedboat for them!”The Italian got nervous. He had never experienced this handover procedure before, so upon hearin
