The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5949

In Antonio's eyes, Charlie, this guy who wanted money at all costs, was simply courting death.

He had already revealed his mafia identity, yet this guy still wanted to demand money from him. Wasn't that asking for trouble? Moreover, how could he possibly give him the money?!

After all, although he was worth billions, every penny was hard-earned money that he had scraped together from the pockets of ordinary people. If anyone tried to take a penny from him, it was equivalent to asking for his life.

Initially, he was cautious because Charlie had already called the police and they were right there. Although he had committed countless murders, he had started to clean up his act. How could he possibly lay a finger on this guy in front of the police?

However, who could have predicted that this guy would actually ask to come into his home to get the money? Wasn't this just walking into a lion's den?

As soon as Charlie stepped through his door, away from the police's watchful eyes, he could have his henchmen kill Charlie on the spot. They could then stage a scene of him breaking into the house, claiming his henchmen shot him for attempting burglary. With a reliable lawyer, chances were high that he wouldn't even go to prison. If the lawyer screwed up and he was sentenced, it would be his own guys behind bars with nothing to do with him.

So, from the moment Charlie said he wanted to go inside with him, he had made up his mind not to let Charlie come out alive.

Now, the police officers also knew that once Charlie went in, his chances of survival were slim. Therefore, one of the police officers kindly reminded him, “Sir, I advise you to resolve any issues outside. Don't go inside.”

He added, “Furthermore, asking for a million US dollars isn't a good idea, sir. It's clearly an unreasonable demand. I still advise you to accept ten thousand US dollars.”

Charlie naturally understood the police officer's intentions and knew they meant well. However, for him, today's performance for Antonio was a matter of life and death, so he had to see it through.

He extended his hand, pointed disdainfully at Charlie, and then at Angus, saying to his men, “Take these two guests to the wine cellar. After I finish entertaining the VIPs, I'll personally have a chat with them!”

When Antonio mentioned ‘guests’, Charlie even heard him clenching his teeth.

However, at this moment, Charlie wasn't the least bit worried. Instead, he looked displeased and said, “Is inviting people to the wine cellar your Italian mafia's way of hospitality?”

Antonio's mouth twitched, and he had an icy cold expression as he said, “Invite? Today, I'll let you experience what Sicilian hospitality truly is!”
