The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

In the early morning light, amidst the gritty backdrop of New York City, Wesley and his crew whisked Aman, Antonio, and the Zano family’s gang bosses away from Chinatown, en route to the harbor.

All the interim second-in-commands had been reinstated to their regular positions.

Jordan still felt a sense of unreality gripping him. Witnessing Charlie dismantle the Zano family overnight left him with a surreal feeling.

Charlie noticed Jordan’s bewilderment as the curtain fell and decided to inquire, “Jordan, how are you feeling now?”

Jordan snapped back to reality, scratching his head as he mumbled, “Mr. Wade… I feel… I can’t quite believe it…”

With a smile, Charlie responded, “Then you must adapt quickly because, starting today, you’ll need to restructure the Chinese gang promptly. While the Zano family is the largest mafia in New York, it’s not the only one. You’ll encounter numerous challenges ahead. Since you’ve chosen this path, you must find a way to forge ahead.”

Jordan nodded earnestly and replied, “Mr. Wade, from now on, the Chinese gang will work on self- sustainability, and I’ll deliver the profits collected from these gangs to you monthly!”

Charlie waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Most of their money was earned by preying on ordinary folks. I’ll acquire it from them the same way and pass it on to you. Once the money is in my hands, there’s essentially no difference between me and them.”

Jagoan continued, smiling, “Uncle Hogan regards you as his own, and you and I are considered acquaintances. If you’ve chosen this path, then safeguard this money wisely. If you have grand ambitions, use it to grow the Chinese Gang and pave your path in advance. You could become a
