Charlie suddenly turned around at this time as he looked at Martha in great interest before he smiled as he asked her, “Aunt Cardy, look at my body. How much can my body be sold for here?”
When Martha saw Charlie, she was stunned as if she had been hit by a heavenly thunderbolt!
She was dumbfounded and blurted out, “Charlie... Charlie, why are you here?!”
Charlie smiled slightly and then shrugged as he said, “I’m here to look for you, of course. You put my mother-in-law in prison, and my wife is crying every day for me to save and get her mother out of prison. So, how can I possibly let a culprit like you off?”
Martha said coldly, “What? You think you can settle the score with me all by yourself when you’re in Mexico?”
With that said, she snorted coldly and said, “Charlie, do you know what this place is? This is Crazy Juarez’s territory! The number of people who die here every year is beyond count, and now that you’re here, only death awaits you!”
Charlie asked with great interest, “Is Crazy Juarez’s boss’s name Juarez?”
Martha said coldly, “Of course! Our boss is the famous Juarez!”
Charlie nodded and then gestured at Porter as he said, “Porter, drag that guy over here!”
“Yes!” Porter responded promptly and immediately dragged Juarez, whose legs had been crippled, out of the crowd.
When Martha saw Juarez’s facial features clearly, she took several steps back in fright, and she accidentally bumped into Jose, who was behind her. Both of them fell to the ground with a thud.
Martha looked at Juarez and panicked as she asked, “Boss... Boss... What happened to you?!”
