Moreover, she also knew far more about Charlie's deeds as compared to the others, and she had even experienced it more personally. She had also heard of how Charlie had dealt with several experts from the Webb family from Sudbury before this.

Charlie had asked Albert to carve words on those few mens' foreheads, and whoever admitted their mistake first would have lesser words carved on their foreheads.

their mistakes.

these people's desperate grovelling was just like those oil pumping machines that were commonly used for oil extraction, and it looked quite comical. Charlie did not say anything. Instead, he simply
