CHAPTER 5966
However, they were well aware that if they didn't return within just an hour or two, their boss wouldn't suspect a thing until at least early the next morning. As they hoped for a miracle, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The five men looked expectantly toward the door, only to see the last person they wanted to encounter, Charlie, stepping into the room. What shocked them even more was the two individuals hobbling in behind him, each supporting the other and hopping on one leg.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
However, they soon realized that these 'peculiar individuals' were not strange for the sake of being strange, but because both had their other legs dripping with blood from gunshot wounds.
At this moment, Will, the leader among the men and the most observant, suddenly recognized one of the men with a broken leg and exclaimed in horror, "Mr. Zano?!"
Upon hearing this, the other four men widened their eyes in shock and instinctively looked toward where Will was staring. As soon as they did, all four men were scared out of their wits!
Who would have thought that their big boss, the head of the New York Mafia, Antonio Zano, the man in charge of the Zano family's affairs, would appear in such a sorry state behind Charlie in this humble roast goose shop?!
This was the most powerful mob boss in all of New York, akin to the emperor of the underground kingdom!
Now, this once-powerful underground emperor was a pitiful captive. This contrast was simply mind-blowing to everyone present. Even Daves was dumbfounded. He had been the leader of the Oskian gang for years, albeit in the lowest echelons of the New York underworld. He had heard of Antonio and knew he had no right to even bow to him, but he could never have imagined that Antonio was now a prisoner under Charlie's control.
Antonio was also surprised that someone recognized him here. When he saw the man's dark complexion and gang attire, he immediately realized he must be a member of one of his peripheral gangs.
With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but think about his current situation. If those idiots hadn't extorted protection money from Charlie, he wouldn't be suffering like this. He was filled with anger.
He had forgotten his current predicament and looked at Will as he clenched his teeth and cursed, "You b*stard, who's your boss?! Who asked you to come to Oskiatown to extort protection money? Are you blind? How dare you act so recklessly here?!"
Will hadn't expected his big boss, who was his idol, to insult him as soon as he spoke. He naturally felt wronged, so he could only say dejectedly, "Mr. Zano, I'm Will from Burning Angels! My boss is Danial. It was you who ordered him to take over Oskiatown and Lower Manhattan, so he handed Oskiatown over to me... We're all acting under your orders!"
Antonio's heart instantly sank. He suddenly remembered that he had personally allocated territories to the Burning Angels and other peripheral gangs, instructing them to completely clear and occupy the areas assigned to them in the shortest possible time. Oskiatown had indeed been given to the Burning Angels.
In other words, no matter whom he had assigned the area to, they would have found this roast goose shop, and they would have offended Charlie because of it.
So, the anger he had just felt dissipated instantly, and he simply looked around without daring to say another word.
When Charlie saw him pretending to be ignorant, Charlie slapped him across the face and said coldly, "Look at you acting so timidly, you're a disgrace to Sicilians!"
After being slapped, Antonio could only look ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wade... It's all my fault..."
Charlie asked coldly, "Do you know who the second in command of the Burning Angels is?"
Antonio explained, "I do. The second in command is Maikey, who grew up with Danial since childhood."
Charlie said coldly, "Call Danial and tell him to bring Maikey here immediately to see you!"
After saying that, Charlie added, "I want to meet all the leaders and second-in-commands who work for you tonight!"
