The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5970

5970 /5975

Antonio made full use of his identity as the underground emperor of New York. Every gang leader he notified arrived eagerly and excitedly.

However, no one could have expected that waiting for them in Oskiatown was a scene where they were all tightly bound with stinky rags stuffed in their mouths. They were huddled together in a corner of the second floor of a roast goose restaurant alongside other top members from various gang units.

As more people arrived, Antonio grew increasingly anxious.

During a brief lull between the last batch being taken upstairs and the next one arriving, he couldn't help but ask Charlie miserably, “Mr. Wade… I've tricked all these gang bosses into going to Syria. I’m betraying all of them. When we get to Syria, if they join forces to come after me, I won't end up dead there, right?”

Charlie smiled and asked him, “So, what do you think should be done?”

Antonio swallowed nervously and cautiously said, “Since I'm cooperating like this, why don’t you leave me in New York to assist you and Angus?”

Charlie questioned him, “Aren't you afraid of retaliation if you stay in New York? You've deceived all these gang bosses to get shipped to Syria. Do you think their families won't seek revenge on you?”

Antonio's mouth twitched, and he asked tentatively, “Mr. Wade, how about letting me go back to Sicily?”

Charlie patted his shoulder lightly and said calmly, “Enough is enough, Antonio. Stop dreaming. You Sicilian men are spread all over Europe and America, but none of you have gone to Syria to build a career. You might as well represent the Sicilian people this time. Besides, you don't have to worry about your safety. Although the place where you're going is a bit backward, it still upholds the rule of law. Among those upstairs, if anyone dares to kill you, my old friend, Commander Hamed, will definitely avenge you. It’s unlike New York, where you can get away with killing so many people. If you stay in New York, you won't last a week.”
