Chapter 197: The Feast

Chapter 197 Feast Leah knew that he had to be careful, because the Eastwood family had strict rules that they could not easily harm government personnel, and of course the police included.

Leah remembers driving Franos to meet Lodge's retired partner, Sharky.

He never believed that Sharkey would keep his mouth shut about the promise of fifty thousand dollars, and he thought that Sharkey must have told Lodge about the meeting, and perhaps he had seen Leah waiting in the car, and if that did, Frans and him would be in danger.

He basically didn't believe what Franos thought of, and the police officers were huddled together like black *hand* party members. They have their secrecy taboos.

Leah got two of his warriors and drove him from the hunting house to Sharkie's house in Santa Monica, believing that if he talked to Sharkie, he would know if the guy had told Lodge about Franos looking for him.

There was no one to be seen outside Sharkey's house, and the lawn was empty except for an abandoned lawn mower. But the garage door was open, and Leah walked down the concrete road to the door, rang the doorbell, and no one answered.

He kept ringing the bell, but there was still no one, so he tried the door, the door was not locked, and he had to make a choice, whether to go in or leave immediately?

He took the lower end of his tie, wiped the fingerprints off the doorknob and doorbell, and then walked into the small foyer and called out Sharkey's name. Still no one answered.

Leah searched the room, both bedrooms were empty, he looked under the closet and the bed, then to the living room, under the sofa, and rummaged through the cushions.

Then I went into the kitchen and came to the open-air table, where I saw a carton of milk and a paper tray with a butter sandwich that had eaten a piece of it, and a piece of white bread with dehydrated mayonnaise on the edges.

There was a brown door in the kitchen with slats, and Leah opened the door to a basement that was not deep, and only two planks down the stairs looked like a floor-to-ceiling room without windows.

Leah walked down two steps and looked behind a pile of old bicycles, where he opened the closet with two doors, in which only a police uniform hung and a pair of bulky black shoes on the floor, on which was a street police hat with a ribbon, and so many things inside.

Leah walked over to a box on the floor and opened the lid to find it surprisingly light. The box was filled with neatly folded gray blankets.

Leah walked out of the basement and stood on the terrace, gazing out at the sea.

"It is reckless to bury a body in the sand," he thought; So he dismissed the speculation, and maybe someone had come and taken Sharky. However, the Assassins were in danger of being discovered. Besides, it is also very dangerous to assassinate Xia Ji himself.

Therefore, Leah deduced that if Sharkey had died, he must still be in the house.

Thinking of this, he immediately went back to the basement and pulled all the blankets out of the box. Sure enough, at the bottom of the box, he saw the big head first, and then the thin body.

Sharky has a hole in his right eye with a small blood clot that looks like a red coin. Because he has been dead for a long time, his facial skin is sallow, and there are black spots everywhere.

Leah, a competent man, knew exactly what was going on - someone Sharkey trusted came up to him and shot him in the eye, the black spots were the marks left by the ammunition.

Leah carefully folded the blanket, put it back to cover the body, and left the house. He didn't leave any fingerprints, but he knew that his clothes must have been covered with blanket fluff, and his shoes were also stained.

He asked two fighters to drive him to the airport, and while waiting for his flight to Las Vegas, he bought a change of clothes, including a new pair of shoes, at a store in the airport mall, and he also bought a carry-on travel bag to put his old clothes in.

When he arrived in Las Vegas, he checked into the Grand Hotel and left a letter for Franos. Then, he rinsed thoroughly, put on new clothes, and waited for Franos to return his call.

When Franos called, Leah said she was going to see him. He brought the bag of old clothes, and when he saw Franos, he said in the first sentence: "You have saved fifty thousand dollars." ”

Franos looked at him and smiled, Leaburn was a neatly dressed man, but he bought a fancy shirt, a pair of blue canvas pants, and a thin jacket that was also blue, and looked like a low-level casino cheater.

Leah recounted Shaki's situation to him, and he tried to justify his actions, but Franos dismissed it and said, "You are involved with me, you should protect yourself, but what is going on?" ”。

"Quite simply, Sharkey is the only one who can tie Rocky to Thayer," Leah said. Otherwise, it's like you said. Thayer lets Rocky kill his partner. ”

Franos said, "How could Sharky be so stupid? ”。

Leah shrugged his shoulders and said, "He thinks he can get money from Rocky, and then he can get your fifty thousand yuan anyway." He knew that because you gave him money, Rocky would definitely play big bets with him. After all, he had been a detective for twenty years, and he could calculate such things, but he never dreamed that Rocky would kill his old friend, and the latter did not trust Thayer. ”

"Both of them are too extreme." Franos said.

"In this case, you will never allow one more to be inserted, and I will say that I am surprised that Thayer could see the danger, and he must have convinced Rocky that Rocky really didn't want to kill an old friend. We all have fragile feelings. Leah said.

"So Thayer has Lodge in control! I didn't think Rosie would be so tame. Frans said.

"You're talking about two different levels of animals, Rocky is intimidating and Thayer is crazy." Leah said.

"So Thayer knows I know his secrets!" Franos said.

"That means I have to act quickly." Leah said.

Franos nodded and said, "This is going to be a human vaporization, and we are going to make them disappear." ”

Leah laughed and said, "You think this is going to trick Don #Eastwood?" ”。

"If we plan it right, no one can blame us." Franos said.

It was at this time that Franos took matters into his own hands and burned Leah's old clothes in the hotel's incinerator.

Over the next three days, Leah worked with Franos on the project.

Franos practiced golf, played eighteen holes, and Leah accompanied him and drove him a golf car.

In Leah's mind, he couldn't understand how all families loved golf. In his opinion, this is a strange crooked way.

On the third night, they sat on the balcony of the penthouse suite. Franos set up the brandy and Havana cigar smoke. They were watching the crowd on the shopping street downstairs.

"No matter how clever they are, and I died shortly after my father's death, Don will be suspicious of Thayer, and I think we can wait a while." Franos said.

Leah smoked his cigar and said, "Not too long." They know you've spoken to Sharkey. ”

"We have to kill both of them at the same time, remember, we have to do a human vapor. Their bodies cannot be found. Franos' brow furrowed deeply as he said this, which was rare in Leah's eyes.

Leah said, "You're putting the cart before the horse! First of all, we want to make sure we can kill them! ”。

Franos sighed and said, "It's going to be very difficult. Rocky is a dangerous man and a cautious person. Thayer fought valiantly. We have to isolate them in one place, and we can solve it in Los Angeles, right? ”。

"No, it's Rocky's territory. He's horrible there. We can only solve it in Las Vegas. Leah said.

"And to break the rules." The reason why Franos said this is because Don himself forbade any family to murder in Las Vegas, believing that if he did, it would have a huge impact on the business of Las Vegas and would cause people to have some unnecessary associations.

"If it was an evaporation, no one knows where they were killed! We have violated the rules by killing a police officer. Leah said.

"I think I know how to get them to Las Vegas at the same time." When Franos had finished speaking, he explained his plan to Leah.

"We need to use bigger baits, and when we want Lodge and Thayer to come here, we have to make sure they arrive." Leah said.

Franos took another glass of brandy and said, "Okay, there's still a bit of bait here." ”

He told Leah about it, and Leah nodded approvingly, saying, "Their disappearance is our deliverance!" ”

"And it will deceive everyone," Frans said. ”

"He's the only terrible guy besides Don #Eastwood." Leah says......

One of Wall Street's leading investment firms, the big boss of Roder & Co., Rod#Lawrence, is determined not to sell his company. However, at this time, in the Eastwood mansion in San Bernardino, several people were talking about it with confidence. It's just because Don is supporting them.

3 months ago......

David # Redfellowo was attending an important conference in Madrid, Spain, when he suddenly received a summons from Don #Eastwood. At this time, he was advising the Spanish prime minister on a new regulation for the banking sector. The regulations require that corrupt bank officials be strictly prohibited, and David's suggestion certainly cannot be taken immediately. So he immediately interrupted his speech and flew to the United States.

David # Redfellow had been in exile for twenty-five years before he met Don, but now he is really prosperous, and no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't dream that such a big change will happen.

At first, Don #Eastwood helped him buy a small bank in Madrid, and the money he earned from the drug business and stored in Swiss banks was used to buy some banks and television stations. However, it was Don #Eastwood's friends in Spain who helped guide him to build his empire, helping him buy newspapers, magazines, and television stations in addition to a series of banks.

However, David #Redfellow is also quite proud of what he has done; He became a different person entirely. He obtained Spanish citizenship, married a Spanish wife, had several Spanish children, and a standard Spanish mistress, and became an honorary doctorate at a Spanish university, albeit at a cost of two million dollars......

He wore an Armani suit, had a hairdresser trim him for an hour a week, gathered a group of close friends with male surnames in the café he bought, and ventured into politics, becoming an adviser to the cabinet and the prime minister. Nevertheless, he travels to San Bernardino once a year in order to fulfill the wishes of his mentor Don #Eastwood. Therefore, this particular summons also greatly shocked him.

By the time he arrived, dinner had already been prepared for him at the San Bernardino mansion, and Theresa did her best, for Redfellowo had always been obsessed with restaurants in Madrid.

Gathered to welcome him were the entire Eastwood family, Don himself, his sons Alfred, Fixio, and Hammer, his grandson Thayer, and Tommy and his son.

It's a welcome to the hero, David # Redfellow was a college dropout and later became a drug king, he likes to wear fancy clothes and earrings on his ears, but now he has become a pillar of society. Everyone was proud of him. And, Don #Eastwood felt like he had to be grateful to Redfellow for giving him an important moral lesson.

In the early years, Don #Eastwood had some strange sentimentality, believing that law enforcement officers generally couldn't be corrupted when it came to the issue of drugs.

It wasn't until 1960 that David #Redfellow started selling drugs when he was a twenty-year-old college student, but it wasn't for the sake of making money, but just for him and his friends to get cheap supplies on a regular basis. Amateur sellers a little, only can * card * in and big * hemp.

A year later, he made the deal bigger, and he and a few classmates bought a plane to bring in drugs across the border between Mexico and South America. Naturally, they soon broke the law, and that's when David showed his talent for the first time - the gang of six made a lot of money, and David #Redfellow took a lot of bribes. Soon after, his bribery list included the chief magistrate, magistrates, judges, and hundreds of police officers on the East Coast.

He always said that things are very simple - you know the annual salary of an official, and then he has five times as much money, and that's it.

Later, the Colombian cartels appeared, and they were even more savage than the most savage Indians of the Western era, not only scalping, but also beheading.

Redfellow's four companions died, and Redfellow approached the Eastwood family and asked for protection, promising to share fifty percent of the profits.

Hammer #Eastwood and a gang of soldiers from Locketown became his bodyguards, and this arrangement lasted until 1965, when Don sent Redfellow to Spain - the drug trafficking was too dangerous.

Right now, everyone gathered at the table to congratulate Tang on this wise decision he made twenty-five years ago.

Thayer and Franos heard Redfellow's story for the first time.

Redfellow was a good storyteller, and he lifted Hammer to the sky, saying, "What a warrior, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have survived to make it to Madrid." ”

He turned to Frans and said, "That is the day of your baptism." I remember that you almost drowned in the holy water, but you were not afraid. At that time, I never even dreamed that when you grow up Chengren, we will do business together. ”

Don #Eastwood said coldly, "You're not going to do business with them, you're only going to do business with me and Alfred." If you need help, you can turn to Tommy #Mitnick. I've decided to continue with the business I talked to you about. Alfred will give you a reason. ”

Alfred then briefed David on the latest development, and Rod # Lawrence took back the shares of Franos in a major operation and returned the principal and interest to him.

Redfellow found this very interesting and said, "He's such a shrewd man, he knows that you won't sue, so he withdrew your money, and he's very good at business." ”

Thayer was drinking coffee, but he stared at Redfellowo in disgust. Theresa sat next to him and held his arm with her hand.

"You think it's funny, don't you?" Thayer said to Redfellow.

Redfellow looked at Thayer, then straightened his face and said, "Just because I know it's wrong to be so shrewd in this situation." ”

Don listened attentively to the conversation, and seemed to find it quite interesting, and at any rate, he had a bit of a hippie smile, which was a rare phenomenon, and his son could always detect it, and be happy about it.

"I said, grandson, how are you going to solve this problem?" Don said to Thayer.

"Let him die at sea." Thayer said.

Tang smiled at him, then turned his face to Franos and said, "What about you, Franos?" How would you solve this problem? ”。

"I'll admit it! I'm going to learn from that. I mistakenly thought they didn't have the guts, so that's why I suffered this loss. Franos said, "What about Fixio and Hammer?" Don asked.

But the two men did not answer, because they knew what trick Don was playing.

Sure enough, Don then said to Franos: "You can't ignore it yet, you will be taken for a fool, and the people of the whole world will not look down on you." ”

Franos seriously considered Don's words, and then said: "There are still several Picasso paintings in the house of Rod # Lawrence, each worth two or three hundred million dollars. We can snatch the paintings and wait for them to redeem them. ”

Tang said: "No, that will expose you, expose your strength, no matter how carefully you handle it, it may cause danger." It's too complicated. David, what would you do? ”。

Davy smoked a cigar and pondered, and after a while he said, "Buy the studio." Do something civilized and do business, and with the power of our bank and Wall Street, buy the Luode Investment Company. ”

After hearing this, Franos said in disbelief: "Lord Investments is one of the oldest and most well-funded investment companies in the world. Even if you raise tens of billions of dollars, people won't sell them to you. It's simply impossible. ”

Hammer said jokingly, "David, my old fellow, can you buy a pair of handcuffs for tens of billions of dollars?" Is this the one who saved his life? Is that the one who said he would never repay me? ”。

Redfellow waved him to stop and said, "You don't know what a lot of money can do. It's like whipping cream, you don't get a little bit of stuff, whip up a big bubble with public bonds, loans, stocks, money is not a problem at all. ”

"The question is how to remove the obstacle of Rode, who is indulging the whole company, and he will never agree to sell the investment company, whatever his circumstances," Franos said. ”

"I'm going to run over there and kiss him." Hammer said.

At this time, Don made up his mind, turned to Redfellow, and said, "Execute your plan, it's done." Be very careful, though. Tommy and Franos at your command. ”

Alfred told David: "One more thing, according to Rod #Lawrence, his general manager, Charlton, will be in full charge of the company for the next five years. However, Lawrence's son and daughter have more shares in the company than Charlton's. You can't fire Charlton, and if the investment company sells, the new general manager needs to pay off the debts owed to him. So, that's the problem you're going to solve. ”

David # Redfellow smiled, took a puff on his cigar, and said, "It's like the old days." Don #Eastwood, I just need your help. Some of the banks in Spain may not be willing to take such a risk. Remember, we have to add a lot of money to the actual value of the investment company. ”

"Don't worry, I have a lot of money in those banks." Don said.

Tommy #Mitnick watched all of this with an alarming gaze. The meeting was so open and honest that he felt uneasy.

As a rule, only Don, Alfred and David #Redfellow should be on the field. He and Franos can split up and take orders to help Redfellow.

How could they be allowed to learn these secrets this time? What's more, how did Thayer, Fixio and Hammer get involved in the circle? This wasn't the Don #Eastwood style he knew, because in Tommy's eyes, Don always tried to keep his plans as mysterious as possible.

Then, Fixio and Theresa helped Don upstairs to rest......

After these people walked out, Thayer said to Alfred, a little angrily, "Who will own the investment company after we get it?" Franos? ”。

David # Redfellow calmly interrupted him and said, "The company is owned by me, I run it, and your grandfather has a share." This should be clearly stated. ”

Alfred agreed.

Franos smiled and said, "Thayer, neither of us can run an investment company, and neither of us is ruthless enough. ”

Tommy looked at the crowd, he was very good at detecting danger, which is why he had such a big life, but he couldn't figure it out, maybe Don was too old to look at it......

Hammer drove Redfellow to the airport, where his private jet was waiting.

Franos and Tommy were on a charter plane in Las Vegas, and Don #Eastwood was adamantly forbidden to own the plane by the Grand Mansion or any of his businesses.

Franos drove his rented car to the airport, and on the way, Tommy said to him, "I'm going to be in New York City for a few days." When you get to the airport, leave me the car. ”

Franos noticed that his father was worried, so he said, "Am I behaving badly there?" ”。

"That's good, but Don's decision makes sense. You can't let anyone blackmail you twice. Tommy said.

The car drove to the airport, Franos got out of the car, and Tommy moved to the front of the steering wheel. They shook hands through the open window.

At this time, Tommy looked up at his son's handsome face, and his heart swelled with affection, and he patted Franos's face lightly, smiled at him, and said, "Be careful." ”

"Watch out for what?" Franos asked.

"Be careful with everything." Tommy said.

Tommy then surprised his son by saying, "Maybe I should let you go with your mother, but I'm a little selfish, and I need you to be with me." ”

Franos watched his father drive away, and for the first time he realized how much he cared for him and how much he loved himself......

But now, Franos wants to use some things to achieve some of his goals.

This funding operation was not a success, because it was a mistake with the plan that the company had begun to customize, and they had intended for another Great Depression.

But the company still made a lot of money for no reason, and one of the company's governors, Deere, claimed that it was his idea to hold a celebration at the Grand Hotel.

But in fact, the idea of holding an internal company celebration at the Grand Hotel was proposed by Franos. He asked for it as a favor. Although he was deprived of the right to invest, after all, he still received tens of millions of dollars in dividends.

Franos said to Diel: "The mansion will be very beautiful because of it!" Let me tell you about my plan. I'm going to give everyone involved in the operation, and everyone you invite, a free overnight stay - including food, lodging and drinks. I will give you and Rodt a villa, and I will provide security guards, and no one you prohibit, such as journalists, will be allowed to come. You've been shouting for years that you're going to live in a villa. ”

Dill pondered for a moment and said, "Just for the scenery? ”。

Franos grinned at him and said, "This ball will also attract hundreds of people, and they will bring a lot of cash. Casinos will make a good chunk of the money. ”

"Luode doesn't gamble, I do. You can make my money. Dill said.

"I'll give you a loan of 50,000 yuan, if you lose, we won't urge you to repay." Franos said.

Dill was persuaded by him, and immediately agreed: "Okay, but this must be my idea, otherwise I won't let anyone from the investment company come." ”

"Absolutely! But, Diel, you and I have done a lot together, and in the end I always suffer. This time it's different. You have to get it right this time. Frans said.

There have been rare times in Diel's life when he suddenly felt a wave of fear and didn't know what was going on. Franos did not threaten him. He seemed to be sincere, as if to illustrate a fact.

"Don't worry, we'll finish in three weeks. Let's make a plan for three weeks. Dill said.

Franos was relieved because he had to make sure Thayer and Lodge were there.

He invited Thayer to Las Vegas to talk about Rood and Lodge's plans.

Because Rocky is an excellent detective, and the people of the Rood Company are some rich bigwigs, they are very desperate for their lives and need protection. And everyone knows that Thayer and Rocky are now good friends.

"I want you to say a few nice words for Rocky, I want him to be the security consultant for the prom, and I'm going to give these bigwigs a taste of what professionalism is." Franos said.

Thayer was amused by this and said, "You're really serious about this investment, but why? ”。

"Make a lot of money, there are women here, I will invite a few Hollywood stars." Franos said.

"You've already made a lot of money!! Star? Thayer asked.

"Premium!! Make good money! Senior woman. Franos said with a smile.

"Why don't you invite me to this celebration? How come I have never stayed in a villa? Thayer said.

"Speak to Rocky for me, and you'll have both. Bring Rocky in, and if you're looking for a date, I can arrange for you to meet Tiffany. I've seen her in movies. And the surname is very good. Frans said.

For Thayer, Tiffany was the ultimate embodiment of pure sensuality, with a plump breast, a smooth and slender face, thick lips and a big mouth, a tall stature, and slender legs.

For the first time, Thayer was interested, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, she's twice as big as me." Can you imagine it? That's it. ”

The bait was a bit too blatant, but Frans expected that Don's ban on the families to commit violence in Las Vegas would make Thayer feel more at ease.

Then, Franos casually added: "Even Garbo, who was nominated for an Oscar, is coming." Hehe! It's up to your luck. ”

Rod #Lawrence, Melo and Deere flew to Las Vegas on a company plane.

Some Hollywood movie stars came from Los Angeles in their own private trailers.

Thayer and Lodge will live in two suites in a villa; Leah and his men lived in four other suites.

The current governor also arrived, and was also arranged in a villa, and Franos selected some cabarets and arranged a private banquet for them. He hoped that with them present, even if the police were investigating what was about to happen, they would not be in pursuit. These people will use their political influence to stop any propaganda and legal action.

Franos completely violated the rules. His secret lover, Michelle, also lived in a villa, and even the servants who had been prepared for her lived in several suites in that villa, and in the other two suites lived Leah's four-man squad, who was responsible for protecting Michelle.
