The Amazing son in law Chapter 6278
Despite his worries, Cass hesitated to approach and inquire about the situation. He had just seen Charlie leave with Gustavo and return together, and it seemed there was no indication of conflict or danger. Summoning his courage, he decided to step forward and ask what had transpired.
Charlie, feeling quite clever, grinned and announced, “Lucas, starting today, Gustavo will be moving into my cell. Are you interested in joining us?” Lucas was taken aback by this revelation.
He found it hard to comprehend why the renowned Gustavo would choose to move to Charlie’s cell. After all, the conditions in Gustavo’s current cell were among the best in the entire prison. It seemed foolish to abandon such favorable living conditions for a more ordinary cell.
However, when faced with Charlie’s invitation, Lucas felt a surge of excitement and eagerly accepted, exclaiming, “Sir, if you value my presence, I will gladly move in with you!”
In Lucas’s eyes, having the opportunity to share a cell with a prominent figure like Gustavo was something he rarely encountered. This could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for him.
Moreover, Charlie, with his mysterious oriental features, intrigued Lucas even further. He felt a strong sense that Charlie’s background was significant, perhaps beyond his imagination. Being close to Charlie could potentially open many doors for him.
As Charlie scanned the crowd, he soon spotted Dean, his cellmate, who was quietly observing him from a small group.
Since Charlie had approached Joseph and Gustavo, Dean had kept a close watch on the dynamics in Ye City. He witnessed Charlie engaging in lighthearted conversations with the leaders from the first and second prison districts, and he noticed that even they seemed a bit deferential to Charlie. This made Dean even more apprehensive about his own reckless behavior earlier.
He couldn’t help but think nervously, “Damn it, they say you shouldn’t poke a tiger. Here I am, just a stuffed teddy bear, foolishly trying to play with a tiger’s tail. Please, let me get through today without losing my head or ending up in the toilet…”
With these thoughts, he instinctively closed his eyes and made a sign of the cross, moving from his forehead to his chest, and from his left shoulder to his right, murmuring, “God bless… Amen…”
Noticing Dean praying with his eyes closed, Charlie called out loudly, “Dean, come here!”
Startled, Dean abandoned his prayer and hurried over to Charlie, asking respectfully, “Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?”
Charlie replied calmly, “I need you to select two individuals with broken arms and legs from the dormitory. They will swap cells with Gustavo and Lucas. From now on, they’ll be our new roommates.”
“What?!” Dean exclaimed, his heart racing. He glanced nervously at Gustavo and stammered, “Mr. Wade… is that really what you want?”
Gustavo, unhappy with Dean’s hesitation, snapped, “Are you deaf? Do you need Mr. Wade to repeat himself?”
Frightened, Dean quickly responded, “No… no… I didn’t mean it that way…”
Charlie shot a sharp look at Gustavo and admonished, “Gustavo, you need to understand your place. In my cell, there are only two categories: one is me, and the other is everyone else. From now on, you must follow my orders and have no authority to manage or reprimand anyone of the same rank. Is that clear?”
Gustavo, taken aback by Charlie’s dominance, quickly promised, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, I won’t make that mistake again!”
Charlie retorted coldly, “You’ve phrased that incorrectly. It’s not about not making the same mistake again; it’s about not making any mistakes at all. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to hold you accountable!”
