Chapter 5554

In the early morning light, amidst the gritty backdrop of New York City, Wesley and his crew whisked
Aman, Antonio, and the Zano family’s gang bosses away from Chinatown, en route to the harbor.

All the interim second-in-commands had been reinstated to their regular positions.

Jordan still felt a sense of unreality gripping him. Witnessing Charlie dismantle the Zano family overnight
left him with a surreal feeling.

Charlie noticed Jordan’s bewilderment as the curtain fell and decided to inquire, “Jordan, how are you
feeling now?”

Jordan snapped back to reality, scratching his head as he mumbled, “Mr. Wade… I feel… I can’t quite
believe it…”

With a smile, Charlie responded, “Then you must adapt quickly because, starting today, you’ll need to
restructure the Chinese gang promptly. While the Zano family is the largest mafia in New York, it’s not the
only one. You’ll encounter numerous challenges ahead. Since you’ve chosen this path, you must find a
way to forge ahead.”

Jordan nodded earnestly and replied, “Mr. Wade, from now on, the Chinese gang will work on self-
sustainability, and I’ll deliver the profits collected from these gangs to you monthly!”

Charlie waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Most of their money was earned by preying on ordinary
folks. I’ll acquire it from them the same way and pass it on to you. Once the money is in my hands,
there’s essentially no difference between me and them.”

Jagoan continued, smiling, “Uncle Hogan regards you as his own, and you and I are considered
acquaintances. If you’ve chosen this path, then safeguard this money wisely. If you have grand
ambitions, use it to grow the Chinese Gang and pave your path in advance. You could become a



renowned entrepreneur or even run for Congress when the time is right. If you’re not aiming that high,
save it for a comfortable life.”

During that time, North America was like a sponge, soaking up immigrants and illegal entrants from all
corners of the globe. Gangs, formed by various ethnic groups, sprouted like mushrooms after a
rainstorm. In New York City alone, there were no less than a thousand gangs of varying sizes. Across the
United States, there were tens of thousands of them.

Jagoan stated, “You’re Chinese, a member of the Chinese gang, and you reside in Chinatown. Here, you
represent all the Chinese people trying to make a living. Hence, you can’t afford to be a coward in the
future. Experience has shown that in this line of work, cowardice won’t guarantee your safety. The more
timid you are, the more people will want to take advantage of you.”

Back in the day, his father had taken part in the Southwest Round, and his former superior had arrived in
North America first, amassing wealth and inviting him to join. It was during this period that they, middle-
aged individuals riddled with bullet scars, founded a Chinese gang in Chinatown, making their mark in
the United States and Canada.

Jagoan nodded, his expression serious. “As a child, I heard tales of the overseas expansion of Chinese
gangs. In those days, Chinese gang members dared to confront adversity and achieved great success in
Canada, the United States, and even Europe. It was a modest beginning, but I never anticipated that in
the 21st century, Chinese gangs in various locations would experience a rapid decline. Many have
disappeared, while others can barely survive in their respective Chinese enclaves. Do you know why?”

Casey admitted hesitantly, “Over the years, Europe and the United States have indeed intensified their
crackdown on gangs, and the unity among overseas compatriots isn’t as strong as that among Koreans
and Vietnamese. The overall situation has become significantly more challenging.”

Jordan declared firmly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Jagoan. I’ve chosen this path, and I’ll give it my all.”



Jordan repeated solemnly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Jagoan. I understand.”

Casey trembled and respectfully asked, “Mr. Jagoan, what are your orders…”

Jagoan continued, “Many of the Chinese gang members from the last century hailed from battlefields.
They left the military, some yearning to explore the world, and thus ventured across the ocean to make a
living. They had narrowly escaped death on flimsy sampans, so they had no fear. They weren’t afraid of
Americans, Italians, Mexicans, or Algerians in the United States. To them, the Mafia meant nothing. What
were Mexican drug lords to them? When they had faced near-death experiences and set foot on this
land, they lived by the words, treat life and death lightly, and defy anything that challenges you!”

Jagoan waved his hands, emphasizing, “All those excuses are just that—excuses. In my opinion, the
rapid decline of overseas Chinese gangs stems from their loss of the fierce spirit that once defined
them.”

He knew that Jagoan was speaking the truth.

The Chinese gangs of that era, fresh off the boat, had managed to rise above tens of thousands of rival
gangs, driven by the blood coursing through their veins.

Jagoan pointed at Casey, remarking, “Now look at you, the so-called second and third-generation
Chinese. You’ve long shed the blood of your forebears! Many of you were born in the United States and
didn’t have to traverse the ocean. You simply obtained a U.S. passport and grew up on milk, cola,
hamburgers, and cereal. Even if you were descended from wolves, you’ve been living like domesticated
dogs. Forget about inheriting your fathers’ blood, if I were to put you on the same sampan your fathers
used to come here, you’d probably collapse before even boarding!”

However, in Casey’s generation, that fiery spirit had nearly faded away, causing Chinese gangs to
continuously lose ground, withdraw, and contract. He had once naively believed that they still had the



sanctuary of Chinatown, but little did he know that their adversaries had grown too powerful, leading to
several ill-fated attempts that left them defeated.

Recalling his father, who had never bowed to anyone, Casey felt immense shame.

Jagoan nodded and concluded, “But remember, Jordan, while the Zano family’s subordinates won’t dare
to harm you, it doesn’t mean there won’t be other adversaries in New York and the United States. I’ve
only helped you this once. If a more formidable foe arises in New York and seeks to end you, you’ll have
to fend for yourself. Do you understand?”

Casey buried his head even deeper.

Jagoan turned to Casey, the former head of the Chinese Gang, and stated, “Mr. Vigo.”

Casey, full of remorse, hung his head low, saying, “Mr. Jagoan is telling me… from now on, I will fully
cooperate with Brother Jordan. I won’t bring shame to the Chinese anymore.”

With teary eyes, he promised Jagoan, “Mr. Jagoan, I, Casey, pledge to you that I’ll resurrect the spirit of
the Chinese gang!”

Jagoan nodded slightly, rising to his feet. He stretched and said, “I’ve said all that needed to be said. I
won’t delay here any longer. From now on, you must take care of yourselves. If you encounter trouble in
the future, you’ll have to rely on your own strengths.” Both men nodded.

Jagoan added, “By the way, even though gangs are common in the United States, you should still
adhere to the world’s moral principles. Always compete with the strong to make a living, but don’t
oppress the weak or monopolize the market. Don’t go too far. If, one day, the two of you become as
ruthless as those people, I’ll return to the United States to deal with you myself!”
