Charlie believed that there were two strategies to cleanse the malevolence that had taken root in Europe and America.

The first was a heavy-handed approach, much like his previous actions against the Canadian human trafficking syndicate or the Mexican underworld. This involved capturing, eliminating, or abducting these nefarious individuals. The second approach was to attempt a more humane approach. He likened it to peeling and removing the thorns from a durian fruit, leaving the delectable pulp to be savored in one satisfying bite.

Charlie may have looked down on the petty amount of money involved, but he couldn’t leave empty- handed after arriving today. His intentions were to nurture and fortify Jordan for future growth, and Antonio’s family would be the first sumptuous meal on this journey.

Antonio, at this point, was less concerned about the 75% profit he was forfeiting. Survival was his priority. He harbored hopes of vengeance against Charlie in the future, but if that opportunity never materialized, he was willing to settle for survival.

But when Charlie informed Antonio of his impending transfer to Syria, Antonio was shaken to his core.

He pleaded, “Mr. Wade, name your price. I’ll give you 75%, 85% of the profits, anything you want. Just don’t send me away from New York!”

Charlie’s response was icy and unwavering, “You have only two choices, Syria or death…”

Tears welled up in Antonio’s eyes as he cried out, “If I leave, the Zano family will be leaderless, our profits promised to you will vanish. If you spare me, I will work diligently to earn for you.”

Charlie shifted his gaze to Julia and remarked, “Once you leave, your daughter will take charge of your organization.”

Julia protested vehemently, “I don’t want it! I refuse to be part of the mafia!”

Charlie, perplexed, inquired, “Isn’t your father the one who insisted Sicilian women should be acquainted with blood? I thought he was grooming you to take over.”

Julia shook her head, clarifying, “No, he only wanted to marry me off to that Russian…”
