The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Charlie’s voice, firm as ice, carried a bone-chilling weight that sent shivers down everyone’s spine. It even sent Todd

into a state of paralyzing fear.

Of course, Todd had no desire to meet an untimely end, and he certainly didn’t want his family to suffer the same

fate as the families of those he had mercilessly taken from. He found himself in a moment of deep regret, pleading

with Charlie for a sense of justice, a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his days.

Tears flowed down his cheeks as he sank to his knees, repeatedly bowing and kowtowing, hands clasped in

desperate prayer for Charlie’s mercy. But Charlie offered no respite.

Observing Todd’s silence, Charlie coldly declared, “Since you can’t make the choice, then I will make it for you.”

He turned to Wesley, who stood nearby and ordered, “Begin with the first task I mentioned earlier, a thorough

investigation. Remember to document every step, capturing it on video. Let him witness firsthand the

consequences of treating others in the manner he has. This man has taken countless lives, and unless he’s

prepared to make amends, we’ll see him off once we’ve dealt with his family.”

Wesley nodded immediately. “You can count on us, Mr. Wade. We’ll handle it.”

Todd, upon hearing this, realized that even if his family faced the same fate, he had no way to escape death

himself. Despair washed over him entirely.

While terrified and dreading his impending demise, he grit his teeth and muttered, “I… I choose the second option.”

In his mind, it was better for one life to be sacrificed than the collective annihilation of his entire family. Todd

understood the distinction between one and many.

Charlie had never intended to end Todd’s life, for he wasn’t Zayne or Xion, blindly loyal to the Banks family. Todd’s

choice of the second option changed Charlie’s perspective. He decided to aid him and, in the process, offer a stark

lesson on the price of betrayal and defiance.

Pointing at the ceiling fan above, Jagoan said to Todd, “I’ll have someone prepare a rope for you. You can take care

of the rest.”

With a nod, he signaled to Jordan, who promptly descended the stairs to the kitchen in search of a sturdy nylon

rope.

The room was gripped by a chilling silence. No one anticipated that Jagoan would have Todd take his own life right

there and then, turning the event into a gruesome spectacle.

Indeed, Jagoan saw it this way. If Todd was resolved to meet his fate, why not have these ruthless New York gang

members witness it with their own eyes? It was essential to leave an indelible scar on their hearts.

Within moments, Jordan returned with a robust nylon rope and fashioned a noose beneath the ceiling fan. Placing a

chair beneath it, he presented the scene to Todd, saying, “Everything is ready. It’s time for your journey.”

At this point, Todd was entirely limp, lacking the strength to stand. Jagoan ordered several gang members nearby,

“You, help him onto the chair.”

Obediently, the chosen men lifted Todd onto the chair, positioning the noose right before his face.

One of them took the initiative to slip the noose around Todd’s neck. He instinctively recoiled, but the alternative

Jagoan had offered made him abandon any resistance.

The noose was secured around his neck. Jagoan gazed at him and asked, “Will you kick the chair yourself, or

someone lend a hand?”

Todd, knowing he faced an inevitable end, wept and beseeched, “Mr. Jagoan, please, help me…”

Jagoan shook his head, his sarcasm undisguised, and remarked with disdain, “A man like you is unworthy of me

ending you with my own hands.”

Turning his attention to the man who had just spoken to Todd, Jagoan asked calmly, “You must be the second-in-

command of this outlaw gang, am I right?”

The man swiftly nodded, responding with utmost respect and attentiveness, “Greetings, Mr. Jagoan. My name is

Angele Blunt, and I serve as the gang’s second-in-command. Mr. Jagoan, please understand that Todd and I are not

the same. He has no sense of morality or restraint. I’ve subtly tried to counsel him numerous times, but he’s grown

increasingly ruthless. I’ve worked under his leadership, but there’s been no changing him…”

Todd hadn’t expected his second-in-command to betray him at this crucial moment, and he angrily scolded,

“Angele, you ungrateful traitor! Don’t forget, I’ve elevated you to your current position step by step!”

Angele nodded and declared, “Yes, you promoted me, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’ve recklessly taken

innocent lives and violated the gang’s code. The entire gang has had enough of your actions, but you never

understood. You should have anticipated that one day, those you’ve wronged would seek vengeance, even within

their own families.”

Jagoan turned to Angele and calmly stated, “From now on, you’re in charge of the outlaws. It’s your responsibility to

send Todd on his way.”

Angele Blunt hesitated for a moment, then respectfully replied, “As you command, Mr. Jagoan.”

Looking at Todd, trembling atop the chair, Angele addressed him calmly, “Todd, may you find peace on your

journey. I hope that, after you pass, God may grant you forgiveness.”

With that, Angele raised his right leg and kicked the chair from under Todd’s feet.

The chair plummeted, and Todd’s body followed suit, hanging helplessly from the rope. The sudden acceleration of

gravity tightened the noose around his neck. Desperately, he grasped at the collar, attempting to free himself, but

his struggles only served to tighten the grip.

Suffocation took hold, and Todd’s awareness waned. He could feel his airway constricting, leaving him unable to

breathe. His body grew hotter and more numb with each passing moment.

Spectators watched in horror as Todd hung right before their eyes. Although they had all witnessed violence before,

this method of execution felt archaic and horrifying.

For several minutes, Todd struggled violently, but his movements gradually weakened. Five minutes later, all that

remained was sporadic muscle twitches, as consciousness slipped away and vital signs ceased.

After a few seconds, even the involuntary twitches ceased. Todd’s lifeless body swayed in the air, a grim spectacle

etched into everyone’s memory.

Jagoan turned to Angele at that moment. “Remove the body and deal with it.”

Angele assured him, “Rest assured, Mr. Jagoan. My team will handle it properly.”

Jagoan nodded and surveyed the room once more. “It’s time. you’re heading to Syria. Prepare for immediate

departure. Those of you continuing in the gang can return to managing the finances. Profits will be handed in

weekly and work reports provided every two weeks. Remember my expectations. Violators will face death, as will

those who conceal earnings or enrich themselves and those who collude with the enemy in secret.”
