Charlie understood Kathleen's concern. His identity would certainly be the Acker family's focus, especially after today's crisis and contact.
With the Acker family's strength, it was only a matter of time before they learned about his identity. They simply had to follow the clues to investigate and start with either Quinn or Kathleen.
The Acker family would definitely figure out who he was through their investigations, so Charlie must intimidate them from looking into him. His goal wasn't to dampen the family's ability to investigate him, rather, he wanted to scare them from daring to attempt it.
With that in mind, he instructed Kathleen, After you get the Ackers to safety, make sure you tell them... Oh, no. Make sure you warn them not to investigate my identity in any way. Tell them I'm a man of honor, and that I don't like to be known. I don’t like anyone sniffing into my origins, either. Otherwise, the consequences they will face will be at their own risk.”
Kathleen hesitated for a moment. She wanted to say something, but she held back and gave up on it.
She said helplessly, "I understand. Mr.
Wade. Leave it to me."
Charlie then turned to Jarvis and said solemnly, "Mr Yant, I'm so sorry to trouble you with so much work today.”
Jarvis, however, was flattered. "You're welcome, Mr. Wade. I'm grateful for your kindness. I shall do my best!"
Charlie nodded. Next, he turned to Dorothy and instructed her, "Dorothy, your task now is to make sure that nothing affects Nana's concert. After the concert, seize the time to contact the families of the dead employees. Provide them full pension and hush money. Warn them not to expose this matter in any shape or form. Understand?"
Dorothy was rather hesitant. "Mr. Wade... What if some of them don't agree and ask for an explanation...?”
Charlie replied solemnly, "Give each victim's family one hundred billion US dollars. I'll cover for it. Also, make it clear to the families about the severity of the matter. They can call the police, but it’s unlikely for the New York police to do them justice. If they do call the police, it may lead to a reprisal from the assailants. After all, this organization is unprecedented in its brutality. They don't even take the Acker family seriously. It's unlikely for them to care about the victim's family."
