The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5555


As Charlie and Hogan exited the roast goose shop together, Hogan cast a wistful glance back at the
humble facade.

He let out a soft sigh and remarked, “From this point forward, my father’s exceptional roast goose craft
will fade into obscurity.”

Charlie responded with a smile, posing a question, “Uncle Hogan, do you have any reservations or
objections about my decision today?”

Hogan fell into contemplative silence for a brief moment before responding earnestly, “Master, Jordan is
not a pet I’ve tamed but an orphan I took under my wing. I never planned for him to follow in my culinary
footsteps when I adopted him. His childhood was marked by vagrancy, with little education and even less
ambition. His status as an undocumented immigrant left him trapped in Chinatown. I taught him the art of
making roast goose simply so he could eke out a living.”

With conviction, Hogan added, “As for whether he chooses to sell roast goose or abandons the trade
altogether, that decision rests with him. However, the opportunity presented by the Young Master today is
truly remarkable. I worry that he may lack the experience to seize it.”

Charlie responded earnestly, “Uncle Hogan, perhaps we can view this matter from a different
perspective.”

Respectfully, Hogan inquired, “Please, Young Master, share your perspective.”

Charlie elucidated, “Before our arrival, those individuals had already targeted Jordan and subjected him
to violence. If we hadn’t intervened, what fate would have befallen him today? At best, he would have
endured a more savage beating. Given the ruthlessness of those gang members, it’s highly likely that
Jordan would have been left with lifelong consequences, ranging from severe disability to paralysis in the
worst cases. And that, my friend, would be a relatively fortunate outcome.”



Pausing for emphasis, Charlie continued, “Consider the worst-case scenario, these individuals have
already committed murder in Chinatown, and it’s not just one or two lives they’ve taken. What if they
intended to use Jordan to set an example today? It’s possible that Jordan would have put up a fierce
resistance, leading to a tragic outcome. If they had resorted to firearms, Jordan would almost certainly
have perished today. In this situation, it ranges from severe injury to death. In light of these
circumstances, Jordan has nothing to lose. He has everything to gain from this point forward.”

“Furthermore, when Jordan contemplated using lethal force against those gangsters, his resolve was
unwavering. The fact that he was willing to take a life when confronted by oppressive adversaries
suggests that he possesses the spirit to fight back. He has a fighter’s blood in him, and taking this path is
likely better for him than not taking it at all.”

Hogan nodded in agreement and posed a question, “By the way, Young Master, why did Jordan refrain
from using deadly force against those individuals?”

Charlie responded, “He will inevitably cross that line in the future, but now is not the right time.
Committing multiple homicides so abruptly could easily desensitize him and make him bloodthirsty. It’s
better to ease him into it gradually.” Turning his attention to Hogan, Charlie inquired, “Uncle Hogan,
you’ve been up all night. Would you like to catch some sleep at the hotel?”

Hogan declined with a quick wave of his hand, stating, “I came along with the Young Master for business
purposes. We can rest after our business is concluded. Let’s head to Queens now and find a place to
enjoy a cup of coffee. I suspect Peter’s antique shop should be open.”

Charlie agreed, “Alright then, let’s head straight to Queens.”

***

In New York, Queens, a vast area lay before them. Though not as bustling as Manhattan, Queens served
as a smaller yet thriving hub. The borough boasted a diverse population and was a melting pot of



immigrants from various ethnic backgrounds, with Flushing being a particularly renowned neighborhood
known for its concentration of Chinese residents and businesses.

Located centrally in Queens, Peter Cole’s antique shop may not have been expansive, but its location
was undoubtedly prime. As Charlie and Hogan parked their vehicle across from the antique shop, they
observed that the store was not open.

Initially, Hogan didn’t discern anything amiss. After all, it was still morning, and few antique shops opened
early in the day. However, Charlie, blessed with keener observation, detected something out of the
ordinary.

He noticed the weathered rust on the iron door and the doorknob of the antique shop, indicating a lack of
maintenance over an extended period. Originally intending to grab a cup of coffee from across the street,
Jagoan drove the car to the opposite side and stopped. Upon closer inspection, it became evident that
the antique shop had been shuttered for quite some time, with spiderwebs adorning the folding iron door.

Peering through the window, Jagoan observed that the displays inside were neglected and hadn’t been
tended to in a while.

Hogan, standing beside him, furrowed his brow and commented, “It seems this place has been closed
for at least several months.”

Jagoan concurred, saying, “Didn’t you mention that the Cole family operates numerous antique shops
across Europe and the United States? It’s possible this location has been abandoned.”

Hogan glanced at the adjacent second-hand store and noticed that, although the store still bore a closed
sign, people were already inside. He approached, knocked on the door, and engaged in a conversation
with the individuals within.

After their exchange, he turned back to Jagoan and said, “Master, let’s return to the car and discuss this.”



Jagoan realized that Hogan might have uncovered some pertinent information. They re-entered the
vehicle, and Hogan disclosed, “Master, I just inquired with the neighboring store owner. It appears that
Peter Cole was arrested in this establishment approximately four months ago, leading to the shop’s
closure.”

“Arrested?” Jagoan asked with curiosity. “Why was he arrested?”

Hogan explained, “It’s said to be related to fraud, but the circumstances were quite unique and distinct
from ordinary cases of fraud. When he was apprehended, it was the FBI who conducted the arrest, and it
was quite a major operation.”

“FBI…” Jagoan mused, inquiring further, “Uncle Hogan, aren’t cases of fraud typically handled by the
police?”

Hogan clarified, “Not necessarily. If the situation is deemed severe, poses a threat to national security, or
involves prominent figures and sensitive items, the FBI may assume jurisdiction. The fact that Peter Cole
was suspected of fraud and arrested by the FBI suggests that the case was quite serious.”

Jagoan then asked, “Did the store owner next door have any information about Peter Cole’s current
status?”

Shaking his head, Hogan replied, “The individual didn’t have much information. All they knew was that
the Cole family’s antique stores in the United States appear to have closed down. As for Peter Cole’s
current whereabouts, they had no information to offer.” He sighed in frustration, adding, “During the years
I’ve spent in New York, I’ve mostly remained confined to Chinatown and seldom ventured outside. My
network is limited, and I haven’t found a suitable channel for gathering information.”

Taking a sip of his drink, Jagoan reassured him, “That’s alright. When it comes to matters in New York,
we can likely rely on Miss Joules for assistance. Her connections and information sources are likely far
more extensive than ours.” With that, he retrieved his mobile phone and dialed Michaela’s number.



The phone rang several times before Michaela finally answered. She immediately asked, “Mr. Balard,
how’s the situation in Atlanta?”

Jagoan realized that Michaela might not be in a convenient location to speak and was likely with his wife,
Jagoan. He considered the title she used, “Mr. Balard,” to be a cover, perhaps to prevent any
misunderstandings with his wife.

Sensing this, Jagoan offered, “If it’s not convenient for you, we can chat later.”

Michaela responded, “I’m currently working on a project in New York. Please hold on for five minutes,
and I’ll get back to you.”

Jagoan agreed, “Certainly, take your time.” He then ended the call.

Five minutes later, Michaela called back as promised. As soon as the call connected, she spoke with
respect, “Mr. Jagoan, I discussed our plan with Jagoan. I was concerned about any potential
misunderstandings, so I refrained from contacting you directly. Please provide your guidance. I apologize
for any inconvenience.”

Jagoan smiled and replied, “No need to apologize. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated. How has Jagoan
been doing with you lately?”

Michaela spoke, “Jagoan has been caught up in the project lately. Since I couldn’t predict how long you’d
need my assistance, I decided to play it safe and entrusted her with full responsibility for the project here.
It might have taken a toll on her energy, but she remains incredibly dedicated.”

Jagoan smiled and replied, “My wife’s always been enterprising, far more than I am.”

Michaela returned the smile, saying, “Mr. Jagoan must possess quite a bit of drive yourself, otherwise,
you wouldn’t have allowed me to invite your wife to New York.”



Quickly shifting gears, Michaela inquired, “By the way, Mr. Jagoan, is there something specific you need
from me?”

Jagoan nodded and said, “I’d appreciate your help in looking into someone.”

Without hesitation, Michaela responded, “Please share the details, and I’ll start right away.”

Jagoan explained, “I’m seeking information on an antique dealer named Peter Cole. The Cole family is
known for its involvement in Chinese antiques across Europe and the United States, with a few notable
pieces in their collection. Have you heard of them?”

Michaela smiled and said, “Peter Cole. His family has quite a reputation in the Chinese antique
community. They’ve primarily focused on recovering Chinese antiques from overseas since the Opium
War, through to the end of the Anti-Japanese War. Many valuable cultural relics that were taken abroad
during that period were repatriated by the Cole family. They even donated some precious cultural relics
to China. My grandfather used to purchase toys from them often, but as the years passed, he became
less interested.”

Jagoan grinned and remarked, “Miss Joules, you’re exactly the person I need. To be honest, I’m
searching for him because I have something very important to discuss. However, upon arriving in New
York, I discovered that their store had been shut down, and there were rumors of Peter Cole being
arrested by the FBI on suspicion of fraud. Can you help me locate his whereabouts?”

Surprised, Michaela asked, “Mr. Jagoan, you’re in New York? Does your wife know?”

Jagoan replied, “I rushed here on short notice, and the nature of my investigation is sensitive. I didn’t
inform Jagoan. Miss, please keep this confidential.”

Michaela assured him quickly, “Rest assured, Mr. Jagoan. I won’t divulge anything to her.”



Adding to her assurance, she said, “Regarding Peter Cole’s situation, I truly have no prior knowledge of
it. However, don’t worry, I’ll gather information and keep you informed once I’ve obtained any insights.”

Jagoan thanked her, saying, “Thank you, Miss Joules.”

After ending the call, Jagoan turned to Hogan and suggested, “Uncle Hogan, Miss Joules is helping with
the investigation, which might take some time. Let’s head to a nearby breakfast spot, perhaps Shangri-
La in New York, and then take a break.”

Hogan agreed, “Sounds good. Although Shangri-La isn’t far, the wait there can be quite lengthy. If Miss
Joules makes quick progress, we might receive news in less than half an hour. We can have a meal
across the street for now. A cup of coffee is all I need to stay awake.”

Jagoan concurred, and they made their way to the restaurant across the street. They ordered food and
sipped coffee. Before they could finish a cup, Michaela called back.

As soon as Jagoan answered, Michaela relayed, “Mr. Jagoan, I’ve gathered the information you
requested. Indeed, Peter Cole was arrested by the FBI four months ago. The arrest was related to
provoking individuals from the Rothschild family, and they’re the ones who requested the FBI to take him
into custody.”

Jagoan furrowed his brow and inquired, “The Rothschild family? Are they from the main line or a
branch?”

“Direct line,” Michaela confirmed. “It’s believed that the individual is of considerable rank, likely a core
member of the entire Rothschild family.”

Jagoan pressed further, “Do you know why they took offense? Any specific details?”

“No,” Michaela admitted. “Word has it that although the arrest was carried out by the FBI, it was the
Rothschilds who conducted the interrogation personally. During the interrogation, the FBI wasn’t allowed



to remain on the premises. However, it’s been said that after the questioning, the Rothschild family was
incensed and used their influence to imprison Peter Cole in Brooklyn Prison without a trial. For months,
Peter Cole’s family and lawyers have been denied access to him.”

Jagoan wasn’t entirely surprised. After all, the Rothschild family wielded immense wealth and had deep-
seated connections within the American elite. In the United States, they held sway over numerous affairs.
Their ability to apprehend and detain individuals wasn’t something to be taken lightly. Jagoan probed
further, “In such a situation, if someone’s thrown into jail without a trial and no visitation rights, does that
mean they might never get out?”

Michaela confirmed, “It’s highly likely. The Rothschild family probably intends to extract specific
information or results from Peter Cole. Until they achieve their objective, he won’t be released, even if
the most prominent lawyers in the United States are called upon. In such cases, they can easily label
Peter Cole as a threat to national security at any time. It’s akin to holding the Sword of Damocles over his
head—nearly impossible to escape.”

Jagoan then asked, “Miss Joules, is there any way to secure his release?”

Michaela appeared conflicted as she replied, “Mr. Jagoan, I can be frank with you. In New York, there’s
practically nothing that the Joules family can’t accomplish, provided the Rothschild family doesn’t oppose
it. In New York and across the entire United States, when the Rothschild family decides something, no
one can challenge it. If I attempt to intervene, every individual I approach will likely inform me that it’s an
impossible endeavor.”

Jagoan sighed, feeling the weight of the situation.

His primary reason for seeking out Peter Cole had been to uncover the connection between him and his
father—why he had adopted the alias Felix Cole and worked at the Aurous Hill Vintage Deluxe, and how
he had come into possession of the “Apocalyptic Book.” All of this hinged on being able to meet him
face-to-face.



Now, Peter Cole had been incarcerated by the Rothschild family, and even Michaela couldn’t secure his
release. It posed a truly daunting challenge.

In a last-ditch effort, Jagoan asked, “Miss Joules, if you wanted, would you be able to send someone in
to Brooklyn Prison, would that be feasible?”
