The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Antonio, the clandestine ruler of all New York’s underworld, wielded an unquestionable influence. When he beckoned the gang leaders to his summons, they all responded with a prompt and eager enthusiasm.

The messages conveyed by Jagoan, on the other hand, were shrouded in mystique. Following Jagoan’s directives, he informed the gang leaders that a momentous and highly confidential business awaited discussion. Each leader was tasked with bringing a trusted confidant to a hidden meeting spot in Chinatown – a modest roast goose shop.

Moreover, Jagoan stressed the utmost secrecy and exclusivity of this gathering, explaining that the choice of Chinatown was intended to keep prying eyes at bay. Antonio cautioned them never to breathe a word to anyone outside their inner circle, lest they risk permanent expulsion from the Zano family.

These gang leaders relied on Antonio for their livelihoods, their territorial sovereignty in New York, and his unwavering support. Without his backing, rival gangs under Antonio’s jurisdiction would undoubtedly encroach on their territories. This instilled a profound loyalty in the gangs, a fear that even the slightest dissatisfaction would result in their removal.

In essence, these New York gangs loyal to the Zano family were akin to a pack of fierce guard dogs, each with their own territory. The size and quality of their “food bowls” varied, but owing allegiance to the same master prevented any of them from coveting another’s resources.

Yet, should a dog be abandoned by its owner, the others would swiftly seize its provisions and eliminate the outcast, ensuring their own dominance.

An intriguing twist emerged as Daniel, the leader of the Burning Angels, arrived first at the rendezvous point in Chinatown, accompanied by his trusted confidant, Mike. During their journey, the two pondered Antonio’s enigmatic intentions, as he had revealed no specifics over the phone. They presumed their summons was in recognition of their recent successes in Chinatown, where they had unexpectedly triumphed over the Chinese Gang, conquering territories and the entire neighborhood.

To them, this was a remarkable feat, a sure sign that rewards and promotions awaited them in the ever-brightening future of the Burning Angels.

Upon parking outside the roast goose shop, they noticed the motorcycles belonging to some of their men. Mike found it somewhat surprising and commented, “Boss, those motorcycles seem to belong to Will and his associates.”
