Chapter 5529

As tension etched Jordan’s features.

Charlie, who had maintained a quiet vigil, instantly discerned the growing rumble of a motorcycle engine
drawing nearer. It was heading their way.

In that charged moment, Hogan grasped the gravity of Jordan’s potential entanglement.

His voice turned stern as he demanded, “Jordan, lay it bare. Who have you crossed?”

Conceding that the truth could no longer be masked, Jordan, resigned, began, “Uncle Hogan, these folks
here belong to a fresh gang making waves in New York…”

Hogan interjected, “Debt collectors, are they?”

Jordan hastened to clarify, “No, Uncle Hogan! They’ve just laid claim to Chinatown two days past. Now
they’re squeezing folks for protection money, three grand a month. If you don’t pay up, they rough you up
and threaten to ransack your store.”

Furrowing his brows, Hogan inquired, “Hasn’t Chinatown always been run by Chinese syndicates? The
fee’s been a mere three hundred a month for the past few years. Why this sudden usurpation?”

Jordan sighed, weariness settling in, “Chinese gangs ceded it to them last week after a fierce showdown
and heavy losses. Big Vigo has thrown in the towel and handed Chinatown over…”

This revelation caught Hogan off guard.

He probed further, “What’s the story with this new gang? It’s only been a month since they’ve started
yapping about three grand. Sounds rather fishy, doesn’t it?”

Jordan’s voice bristled with frustration. “Who’s denying that! We toil from dawn till dusk in these stores,
paying rent and working under the table since we lack legal status to foot the bills. You’re overseeing it all



and after all’s said and done, you’re only scraping together a few grand a month. They want three
thousand, essentially turning everyone into their indentured servants!”

Hogan queried, “Who’s behind this new gang?”

Jordan responded, “They go by the name ‘Burning-Angel’. Mostly African-Americans with a sprinkling of
Latinos from Brooklyn and downtown. Word is, they’re backed by Italians. The Italians are slowly fading
into the background, pulling the strings but keeping out of the fray. They’d rather let these ruthless
African-Americans run the show…”

“Did they inflict those wounds on your face?” Hogan pressed.

“Yes,” Jordan’s voice was edged with resentment. “They came to collect their ‘protection’ money. I
couldn’t cough up the sum, so they beat me down. They’ve given me until tonight. If I don’t produce the
cash, they’ll ransack the store.”

“Have you contacted the police?” Hogan’s tone carried a mix of anger and concern.

“I did,” Jordan’s posture slumped. “But it’s no use. You know the deal in New York. The police focus on
the affluent areas. They came, gave it a cursory glance, and told me they couldn’t locate anything.”

Annoyance flared in Hogan’s eyes. “It’s utterly unreasonable!”

Jordan’s voice held a tinge of hopelessness. “I called them, told them they’d be back. The police said
there aren’t enough officers to keep tabs here. They told me to call as soon as I spotted them. Dial 911
for the police, but what good does it do? If they roll in with guns blazing, I’d be eight ways to dead before
the cops showed up.”

With a sigh, Jordan continued, “They’re American citizens, we’re undocumented. The American police
couldn’t care less whether we live or die…”



As he spoke, the motorcycle’s roar reached the doorstep of the roast goose shop, and Jordan’s nerves
ratcheted up.

He implored Hogan and Jagoan, “Uncle Hogan, Mr. Jagoan, hurry upstairs!”
