Chapter 165: The Godfather
The Gambino family, a legendary gangster family, is the star of many mafia families around the world.
Of course, despite its strength and history...... That's not the main reason I'm afraid of it.
If it's just a mafia family, then in terms of strength, I don't necessarily have to be afraid of them.
But there's another reason why I'm so scared!
According to what I know, in the thirties of the last century, under the creation of Luciano, the legendary godfather of a generation, twenty-four mafia families from all over the United States gathered together and held a national mafia family marriage party! At the same time, an organization was created that would later cause headaches for countless prosecutors in the U.S. justice system: the National Mafia Family Council.
Through this national committee, many powerful mafia families across the United States have been united...... And, remember, that was more than seventy years ago!
After nearly a century of development, it is hard to imagine how many of the most powerful families are now covered in this organization, and these families are united through this committee, and what a huge force they have?!
And the Gambino family, led by Gambino, the legendary godfather of a generation of kings, and every subsequent leader is the backbone of the National Committee!
I may not be afraid to offend a mafia family...... But offended a mafia national council...... That's an absolute horrible thing!!
It can be said that the Gambino family is a family of the symbol xìng in the mafia and the flag bearer! And what I'm dealing with now is the current godfather of the Gambino family: Robert Gauch.
At this time, why did Robert Gauge come to me?
Without a doubt, it must have come for this movie of mine!
A movie that is estimated to make more than $300 million has really attracted a red-eyed wolf!
Charlie provided me with information that the American mafia has always had a close and inexplicable relationship with the American film industry.
The most famous is of course the classic film "The Godfather" that glorified the mafia. Later, among the seven giants of the American film industry, MGM was once controlled by the mafia, and as for Paramount, which filmed "The Godfather", needless to say! When filming "The Godfather", Paramount belonged to the mafia at all!
Movies are very profitable, and of course the mafia knows this!
Anyway, whether I want it or not, reason tells me that this Gambino family is something I can't offend.
That evening, I took only a hammer with me and drove to the place Robert Gauge had invited me to, a luxurious estate in front of Beverly Hills.
I didn't bring too many followers, because what was the use of bringing more people when I went to someone's lair?
There are fewer people to bring it, so it's useless.
I brought too much -- I was invited to be a guest, not to fight. Besides, bringing too many people shows that I'm afraid of the other party.
It is not my intention to describe how luxurious this estate is...... In fact, the place seems very rustic in everything except for the large area of land. Except after driving into the estate, the unusually neatly trimmed gladiolus. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
The building has a strong Sicilian style, old-fashioned furniture, and heavy floors. Huge curtains in black sè, Romanesque reliefs, and fireplaces of red brick and black iron.
All the sè tones here are paired with red sè and black sè.
Red & Black...... A taste of iron and blood!
I was then taken into a break room...... A few men in dark suits politely asked for an inspection, I didn't refuse, and Hammer and I were searched, but the process wasn't too annoying, because the other party was polite. I also know that this is an inevitable process.
The lounge is large and has a huge movie projection setup.
When I entered, a leather sofa was facing away from me, and the chair was so high that I couldn't see the person sitting in it from behind.
In front of me was the movie Twilight, on which the first episode of the classic gangster movie "The Godfather" was playing.
The decoration style of the room is very old-fashioned, heavy and solemn!
One of my men walked up to the leather couch and whispered a few words to the people inside, and then soon I saw a hand reach out from the couch and wave it slightly.
Soon, I was led to the front of the couch. I finally saw the man sitting on the couch, Robert Gauci, the current godfather of the Gambino family!
Originally, it started by walking into this old-fashioned manor.
The thick and solemn old-fashioned style of this house, coupled with old movies like "The Godfather" playing in this depressed room, I originally thought that the Robert Gauge I was about to meet should also be a half-aged old man, probably like in the Godfather movie, wearing a dark suit, gray hair, sideburns, a solemn and solemn face, with a thick Sicilian accent, and an elegant and gentle expression......
But I was wrong.
The current godfather of the Gambino family looks young, at least it looks. His appearance is surprising because his appearance resembles the legendary Hollywood star Al Pacino......
I couldn't help but feel a little strange about this discovery.
Because Al Pacino is also Italian, and he is also the star of three films "The Godfather".
In addition, Robert Gauci has a very young eye, and he is not wearing any old-fashioned dark suit, but a simple snow-white shirt, and even the top two buttons are loose.
There are not many signs of age on his face, and his hair is neatly combed. It's just that the wrinkles in the center of the eyebrows are obvious, he should be a person who doesn't like to laugh, and he often frowns, so there are so many Sichuan-shaped wrinkles in the center of the eyebrows.
It was only when I confronted him that he finally took his eyes off the movie.
And he, with a Xueru in one hand, and in the other, was gently rubbing back and forth on an old-fashioned Browning revolver. I don't know how many years have passed since that Bai Langning, according to my memory, this style of pistol should be a product of the sixties of the last century.
The body of the gun is very shiny, but it exudes an ancient atmosphere, and it is obviously very well maintained. But a lot of the place is still rubbed smooth - it's an old smell.
Looking at this guy who looked like Al Pacino, and the Godfather movie playing on the screen in front of me, I almost had the illusion that the godfather from the movie had stepped off the screen and came in front of me!
I'm looking at him, and he's looking at me. We both looked at each other, and at the same time we both felt a hint of danger in each other's eyes...... It feels like two beasts in the jungle are looking at each other!
Bang!!!
At this moment, a gunshot broke the silence in the room—a gunshot came from the movie screen, and this sudden gunshot broke the glances we looked at each other, and almost at the same time we both chose to hide our emotions with smiles.
"You may be seated, my friend." His voice was a little hoarse, even difficult to hear. This surprised me a little, because a man with such an unearthly appearance could speak like a male duck.
There were only two sofas in the room, one of which he sat on, and I, who had the choice of sitting on his side.
The movie continues, and the godfather starring Marlon Brando, with a calm face, with an elegant smile, and a softness that is almost cruel in his eyes...... Then on the screen, he said slowly: "I want to give them benefits, they can't refuse me ......"
I've watched the movie Godfather countless times, but this one is my favorite.
Just when my attention was drawn to the lines in the movie, Gauge spoke: "Do you like this movie too, Chen?" ”
I was slightly surprised that he spoke in English, not even with any Sicilian accent, but then I replied very simply: "Yes, I love every movie in this series." By the way, this paragraph is also my favorite. ”
Gauci's eyes sparkled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he muttered in a low voice, "I want to give them benefits, they can't refuse me...... Do you know what I appreciate the most about this line? It's the phrase 'you can't refuse me'. ”
I remained silent and just looked at him with my eyes.
He sat there, the smoke of his cigars filling, as if the emperor were sitting on his throne. Then Gauge gently put down the white Browning in his hand, and extinguished the cigar in the ashtray in front of him.
"Allow me, my friend, to apologize for taking the liberty of inviting you to come. I know that at this stage, every minute of your life is precious. His tone was slow and calm, and his tone was word-by-word, like the godfather in the movie......
I suddenly remembered a legend: The Godfather tells the story of the Godfather Gambino in reality, and after Gambino, almost every gangster godfather in the world is trying his best to imitate and surpass him! And as the godfather of the successor of the Gambino family, the Gauge in front of him is obviously one of Gambino's admirers. That's why his tone is so much imitating Gambino's tone back then.
