The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5968

He came from humble beginnings and didn't understand much about political maneuvering. His philosophy was simple, that was, as long as his brothers worked hard alongside him, he would ensure they were well taken care of. If there was food on his plate, there would be soup for his brothers.

However, Maikey was much smarter compared to him. When Maikey graduated from high school, he was the only talented student from his African-American neighborhood to be accepted into a reputable public university that year.

In that neighborhood, crime and divorce rates were sky-high. Many young people learned to shoot and do drugs before they even grew facial hair. If a day passed without a gunfight in the area, everyone would have trouble sleeping due to the unfamiliarity.

In such an environment, Maikey's acceptance into university was a testament to his exceptional intellect. However, once he entered university, the stark contrast between his impoverished background and the lavish lifestyles of wealthy students shocked him.

He witnessed the extravagance enjoyed by the wealthy and the fervent admiration female classmates had for wealthy men. Due to his lack of money and issues related to the color of his skin, he was ostracized and alienated by his peers.

From that moment on, Maikey started going down the wrong path. He began stealing from other students on campus—phones, computers, bicycles—anything he could sell for money. Consequently, he was expelled from the university in his second year.

With nowhere else to turn, he joined the gang he had known during his time on campus, which later became the predecessor of Burning Angels. Maikey relied on his wits and steadily rose to become the second-in-command of the Burning Angels, earning Danial's complete trust.

However, Maikey was always worried about the stability of his position as second-in-command, especially viewing Will as his biggest threat. This led Maikey to occasionally speak ill of Will and advise Danial to be more cautious around him.

Antonio looked at them with mixed emotions as he spoke up and said, “Danial, don't blame me when we get to Syria in the future.”

Danial was confused and subconsciously asked, “Boss, what do you mean? Who's going to Syria? Are we going to Syria?”

Antonio sighed deeply. Charlie had simply laid out all his plans to him candidly. Tonight, he intended to use Antonio to gradually summon all the leaders and second-in-commands of his organizations.

They would be detained overnight until the next morning when Porter would be arriving. Porter would take away all the bosses of these gangs, allowing the second-in-commands to witness their bosses being taken away by Porter from Ten Thousand Armies. These second-in-commands would then be promoted in place to take over their respective gangs.
