The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Charlie, who had been inquiring about the prison’s situation from Lucas, overheard all the conversations between the bosses of
the first and second prison districts. He had not anticipated the existence of such hidden tensions within a prison in downtown
New York, which didn’t even have an open-air playground.
Observing the unfolding dynamics, Joseph, the boss of the Second Ward, seemed to be plotting an opportunity to strike a
significant blow to Gustavo, the Mexican drug lord who led the First Ward. Gustavo might lead a luxurious life in the prison,
beyond the reach of other inmates, but he too had his concerns. Despite his family’s influence, the murderous drug dealers
couldn’t enter the United States, let alone the Brooklyn Prison to aid him. His safety and the fate of his family rested in the hands
of the US government and the Rothschild family.
Lucas, noticing Joseph’s unusual behavior, turned to Charlie and remarked, “Joseph’s actions today are peculiar. He might be
scheming something.”
Curious, Charlie inquired, “What makes you think so?”
Lucas explained, “Joseph doesn’t usually associate with Gustavo. He’s an old-school American gang member who values direct
confrontation and personal heroism. Gustavo, on the other hand, is cunning and ruthless, willing to employ underhanded tactics,
including violence against competitors, Mexican police, and even civilians. Gustavo is like a venomous snake, preferring covert,
deadly strikes. Joseph typically keeps to himself, but now he’s provoking others, suggesting he intends to stir up trouble.”
Charlie nodded, surprised that Lucas’s analysis aligned closely with his own assessment of Gustavo’s character. It was evident
that Lucas possessed exceptional awareness of the prison’s environment and the ability to decipher people’s motives—an asset
rarer than the strength of the other inmates.
Lucas noticed that the iron doors leading to the dining hall from both prison areas had been closed by the guards. Turning to
Charlie, he inquired, “All the prisoners are here now. By the way, is Peter Cole, the one you’re looking for, here?”
Jagoan shook his head, having closely observed every prisoner entering the restaurant without spotting Peter Cole.
Lucas furrowed his brow and said, “If someone entered but isn’t in either of the two prison areas, it’s likely that the Rothschild
family is hiding them.”
Jagoan asked, “If the Rothschild family were hiding someone in this prison, where would they likely conceal them?”
Lucas hesitated briefly before responding, “I can’t say for certain. The prison has a unique situation. While the Rothschild family
controls the entire facility, very few staff members have access to certain areas. If they’re hiding the person you’re looking for, my

estimate is that no more than five guards in Brooklyn Prison would be aware of it. Unfortunately, we have no way to contact
those individuals. For instance, we rarely see the warden here, perhaps only three times a year.”
Jagoan grew increasingly concerned. He had assumed Peter Cole would be detained in one of the prison areas, making it
possible to gather clues by finding Lucas. However, it seemed that even someone as well-informed as Lucas knew nothing about
Peter Cole’s whereabouts.
Finding a single person in such a vast prison was more challenging than he had imagined. If he couldn’t locate Peter Cole in the
prison area, his next resort would be to employ his reiki for a thorough search.
Spiritual energy was ideally suited for locating isolated targets within a wide expanse, much like discovering Zeba in a valley
where she was the sole living individual. However, the prison comprised numerous people densely inhabiting it. Releasing reiki
would promptly detect thousands of individuals, necessitating the arduous task of sifting through each one to locate Peter Cole.
While aura detection allowed him to sense the general situation, it didn’t provide him with the ability to see every detail.
Everything could only be perceived through the aura.
Thankfully, the prison’s mealtime had brought all the inmates to the dining hall. Since Peter Cole wasn’t there, Jagoan could
employ his reiki to explore other areas and individuals outside the restaurant, making his task somewhat more manageable.
With this in mind, he discreetly unleashed his reiki, bypassing the first and second prison areas, and commenced a
comprehensive scan of the entire prison.
Jagoan’s reiki skipped past the prison area and initially descended to the top floor, where all the prison staff were located. At that
moment, there were at least seventy to eighty people present, going about their duties or eating in the staff canteen. None of
them appeared to be imprisoned.
Jagoan then extended his exploration to the lower level. Approximately a hundred people were working there, engrossed in their
tasks or having their meals. There was no indication that anyone was held in confinement.
Jagoan couldn’t help but wonder, “Could they have relocated him elsewhere?” After all, Peter Cole had been at the prison for a
while without ever entering the prison area, suggesting that the Rothschild family might have discreetly moved him.
However, Jagoan believed that the Rothschild family, while secretly controlling Peter Cole, wouldn’t want the outside world to
know. Therefore, it made sense for them to minimize any transfers after initially settling him in, much like the strategy they used
at Don Albert’s dog farm.

The safest approach was to place a person directly in a secure location and never let them leave. If they moved the person to
another site, they risked exposure. Consequently, Jagoan suspected that Peter Cole might still be within the prison’s hidden
underground facility.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t determine the specifics of this underground facility. To reach it, his sole option was to access the
warden’s office and use the concealed elevator from there.
The fact that such a critical secret passage was situated within the warden’s office suggested a close relationship between the
warden and the Rothschild family.
Yet, Jagoan faced a dilemma. Infiltrating the prison, either from the inside or outside, would be challenging due to the modern
facility’s tight security and surveillance systems. Even if he secured the warden’s cooperation from the outside, escorting him to
the underground facility would be an intricate endeavor, likely exposing their intentions to the Rothschild family.
Therefore, Jagoan contemplated finding a breakthrough from within the prison. Given the prison’s reputation as a Rothschild
family stronghold, their focus would likely be on external threats, potentially overlooking internal vulnerabilities.
At that moment, Gustavo, the notorious drug lord, instructed his subordinates, “Make the arrangements. I want to meet the
warden after dinner.”
