The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Upon grasping the full extent of Peter’s predicament in the confines of Brooklyn Prison, Jagoan couldn’t help but exhale, his realization coloring his words, “I was initially taken aback. Given the clout of the Rothschild family, if you truly pilfered from them, they wouldn’t need the legal route to settle the score. Turns out, you voluntarily dialed up the police.”

“Exactly.” Peter affirmed with a hint of resignation. “In the U.S., while the Rothschild family’s influence can supersede the law, it’s contingent on avoiding public outrage. True, I stole from them, but by surrendering willingly, I force this matter into the judicial process. Even they can’t just snatch me up. I’m a somewhat renowned antique dealer, connected in upper-class circles…”

“If they lynched me without due process, it would embarrass the American police. So, the Rothschilds opted to let the courts lock me up. Even if they torture me, they can’t risk killing me outright. I’m serving a fifteen-year sentence and the Rothschild family needs to save face.”

Jagoan asserted with determination, “Uncle Cole, I’ll get you out today. As for the Rothschilds, I’ll straighten things out with them.”

“No way,” Peter interjected emphatically. “Young Master, I’m a prisoner here for theft. If you spring me, the Rothschilds won’t just give up, they’ll come after my family. Moreover, once I’m out, I become a fugitive. Though the Four Treasures of the Study was originally Chinese, I did steal it from the Rothschilds. I’ll serve my sentence, plead guilty, but I won’t bear the stigma of being a fugitive again.”

Concern etched on Jagoan’s face, he voiced, “Uncle Cole, if the Rothschilds don’t secure the Four Treasures of the Study, they won’t relent. Over a decade more in prison will be tough.”
