Arthur stepped forward, took the paper bag from Abramo's hand, opened it and looked at McDonald's burgers, fried chicken, and coke.

"Close the door." Arthur commanded Russell to pull Abramour into the room with his hands raised and close the door. Abramo saw that in the living room, Vera was tied to the sofa, her mouth was gagged with a towel, her face was stained with tears, and her watery eyes were looking at Abramo like a helpless little stray cat.

Abramo was hooked by her eyes and pulled her out of the prostitute pile. The eyes of the women of the Abramo family are like wolves, and the gentle and helpless eyes like this cat make him unable to resist. Even with a gun to his head, Abramo said, "Don't hurt Vera, just kill me, I won't say anything." ”

Abramo knew that he was planted, he should have made a phone call before he came, even if Vera couldn't say anything under the threat, he could tell from his tone that something was wrong. It's a pity that he was too anxious to see his sweetheart, the cute little wild cat, and it turned out to be a trap to lure him to death.

Arthur was not in a hurry, he took out the McDonald's burger and fried chicken first and nibbled on two bites, and he didn't have a good lunch in a hurry at noon, and he felt a little hungry. He motioned for Russell to take the gun from Abramo's arms and let him sit down with Vera.

Abramo sat down next to Vera, who immediately leaned over, and Abramo said, "Are you going to kill us both together?" She's just an ordinary girl, she shouldn't be involved, she doesn't have a family here, there's nothing, and she's not going to take revenge. ”

Arthur saw that this Abramo was a man with affection and righteousness, and he decided to reward him with a fried chicken.

"Take her towel and feed her something, she's starving."

Arthur's words were unexpected, and his mind was racing, wondering what the hell these two men were going to do?

Russell he knows, Tony Luciano's number one killer and Tony's bodyguard, is extraordinary. If he hadn't been there, Tony Luciano would have died several times. He stood aside, gun with a muffler in his hand, and Abramo basically gave up the idea of resisting. He knew that if he made the slightest move, a bullet would go through his head.

And the young man in front of him who spoke, Tian shamelessly ate the McDonald's he bought, had never seen it, he was very young, in his early twenties. But it seems that Russell is completely at his command, and in Abramo's impression, Russell should only listen to Tony, this hairy boy came out of nowhere.

Abramo took the fried chicken from Arthur's hand and took the towel from Vera's mouth, and Vera immediately burst into tears and collapsed on Abramo's shoulder. Russell freaked out when she covered her mouth and pushed into the room, and then she was tied up and gagged and thrown on the couch. When she saw that they had guns, she knew they were here to kill Abramo. She prayed in her heart that Abramo wouldn't come today, that he had better do something, and that he would call and say, "Sorry baby, I can't come today." ”

In the past, Vera hated Abramo the most, and she would feel cold when she heard the phone ring before every date. But this time, she desperately hoped that Abrameo would call and say that to herself, as long as she heard a "sorry", she would feel at ease.

Unfortunately, no, what she was waiting for was the sound of Abramo unlocking, and the phrase "Vera", and her heart was about to break at that moment.

However, she thought that Abramo would be shot in the head by Russell, who was hiding by the door, when he came in, but he didn't. Abramo removed the towel from her mouth and handed the fried chicken to Vera's mouth, Vera shook her head and refused to eat it, where could she eat it. The sandwich he bought at the café had already been eaten by the young man. This thing is now nibbling on a burger...... Is he here to kill people, or is he here to rob food?

Abramo had fried chicken in his hand, and he wished he had a gun in his hand, so that there was room for resistance. The young man on the other side was very happy to eat the hamburger, still drinking Coke, and muttering in his mouth while eating, "The McDonald's in the United States feels different, this meat is weird......"

In 1994, McDonald's has settled in China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and after years of development, it has become a foreign fast food duo with KFC. In order to take root in China, McDonald's has made a lot of localized changes in taste, so Arthur feels very unaccustomed to eating the American version of McDonald's.

Luckily, Happy Water is still the same recipe, that taste.

Having eaten and drunk, Arthur clapped his hands and put his hand in his pocket.

When Abramo saw Arthur's movements, his nerves tensed all of a sudden, and the sweat came down. If you just get a shot at yourself as soon as you enter the door, you're dead. Now it's good to see Vera, time has worn off for a while, and the fear of death has begun to strike. He felt that his throat was dry, he wanted to move but couldn't, and his lower body felt like he was going to lose control.

Is this what it feels like to be afraid of death?

It's not the first time Abramo has faced death, from being a sailor, to marrying the daughter of a Philadelphia black boss, to taking root in New Jersey, and there have been bloody ups and downs along the way. To say that he is not afraid is false, and if he is not afraid, he will not be so cautious.

But I was afraid, but I didn't pee.

But the young man on the other side is quite handsome, looking harmless to humans and animals, but there is a sense of ... An air of evil.

Yes, it's evil, that sense of evil from the inside out.

Vera grabbed Abramo's arm tightly, she closed her eyes, she had decided to die with Abramo.

As a result, instead of a gun, Arthur pulled out of his pocket, but a playing card.

A black 6 of clubs.

Abramo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the chrysanthemum was not loose, otherwise it might have really peed out.

Arthur walked up to Abramo, crouched down, turned the back of the playing card towards Abramo, and said, "Can you see the words on the back?" ”

Abramo squinted and nodded, "Yes... I can see it. ”

Arthur knew he had come to the right place, and Abramo, nicknamed "The Captain", was indeed the second person to be able to see the letters on the back of the playing cards. In this way, as long as he reads the poem like Russell, he can become a subordinate who has the same heart as himself! With Abramo as his subordinate, Arthur's power swelled all of a sudden.

Vera heard Arthur's voice and slowly opened her eyes, looking at the back of the playing cards, but saw nothing. She whispered to Abramo, "What do you see?" Abramo replied, "Words, some words. "Why didn't I see it?" "Oh, you're scared, or you don't know how to read." “……”

The two of them felt a sense of relief that they had escaped, because Arthur did not seem to have any intention of killing them. Instead, he asked Abramo to read the words on the back of the playing cards, Whitman's poem.

"Ah~Captain, my Captain~ We're hard... The voyage has come to an end, and this... The boat has weathered all the storms and storms, and the reward we seek has been obtained. The port is in sight......"

Abramo felt like a fool, the most hated thing he hated when he was a child at school was recitation, his father was a sailor, he inherited the kind of rudeness in his father, he didn't do anything about this kind of crepe, he only felt stupid.

He was sluggling and emotionless, and just as he was halfway through it, Arthur suddenly shouted to stop.

"Stop, stop, don't read ......," said Arthur, who sat down on the couch, feeling a little dizzy and sick to his stomach.

The last time Russell read the poem, he also had some adverse reactions, but the reaction was not great, and he survived to the end and witnessed Russell's fainting. But this time it was different, the bad feeling came quickly and violently, the temples beat suddenly, the heart beat faster, and then dizziness and nausea.

"What's going on? Arthur? Russell spoke for the first time after Abramo entered.

His posture remained the same, he raised his gun and pointed it at Abramo, and his eyes did not look at Arthur when he was questioned, but still stared at Abramo. Arthur didn't look very good, his face became very bad, his stomach was churning, and finally he couldn't hold back, and with a whoop, the fried chicken, hamburger, and sandwich he had just eaten were all vomited out of his stomach.

Abramo and Vera looked at each other, what the hell is going on?

Russell couldn't help it, so he came to the sofa to check on Arthur's condition, and Arthur's face was a little better after throwing up, but he still covered his head and said that he had a headache.

Abramo knew that this was an opportunity, but Russell had a gun in his hand, and he was cautious, and after checking Arthur's situation, he immediately turned to look at Abramo and Vera.

It was at this point that Russell suddenly shouted: "Lie down!" ”

Abramo has been on the underworld for many years, and hearing the word "lie down" is like a reflex to get down. Then there was a burst of gunshots, the window glass of the living room crackled and shattered, the bullets pierced the sofa, the flannel flew inside, the vase on the coffee table was broken, the paintings on the wall were broken, and the TV was blown up......

But Abramo struggled to crawl to the back of the refrigerator and was lucky enough to dodge the bullet. Russell had already dragged Arthur into the living room and the hallway of the room, avoiding the fire from the submachine gun. The most unfortunate of all was Vera, who was unconscious of Russell's reminders, and was shot several times in the back, falling in a pool of blood and dying.

The shooting lasted only a few seconds, and the living room was already in shambles, with glass, wood chips, and vase fragments scattered all over the floor, and bullet holes on the walls. White cotton wool fell from the sky like snowflakes and fell on Vera's crimson blood, which immediately turned red.

Vera was lying on her stomach with her face on the ground, her eyes lifeless.

Abramo hides behind the refrigerator bloodless, and death passes him once again. When the gunfire died down and he poked his head out to check, he couldn't help but cry when he saw Vera's body. He crawled up to Vera and cried like a child while holding Vera's corpse. Does he love Vera? No, he still loves his wife and children more.

Vera is more like a beloved toy to him, and a child who loses a toy always cries a few times. It's not so much that he's crying for Vera, but that he's crying for the loss of a place for his heart. Of course, he was really sad for Vera's death. At one point, he did want to give his life for Vera and didn't want anyone to hurt her.

Arthur was getting better at this point, and just now the gunners were not targeting Arthur and Russell, but going towards Abramo. So both of them were fine, just a little frightened.

Arthur asked, "Shit! What's going on?" ”

Russell said: "Engineering trucks." ”

Engineering? Arthur remembered that there had been a construction truck repairing a utility pole outside. Unexpectedly, this was actually a killer sent by someone, disguised as a maintenance worker, sent to the windowsill with the telescopic arm of an engineering vehicle, and fired a burst of fire with a submachine gun. If it weren't for Russell's reminder and Abramo's alertness, he would have been beaten into a sieve.

Now only poor Vera has fallen victim to a gangster vendetta.

Arthur struggled to his feet from the ground, holding a poker in one hand and pulling a revolver from his pocket in the other.

He walked up to the weeping Abramo, pointed a gun to his head, and said, "Read, read again." ”

Abramo's heart was filled with grief, but when he saw the playing cards handed over, the letters behind them seemed to have magical power, and they caught his eyes firmly.

He opened his mouth and read aloud, "-Oh! Captain! My Captain! Our arduous voyage has come to an end,

The boat has crossed all the risks, and the victory we have fought for has been won!

The harbor is in sight, I hear the bells ringing, the people are cheering,

Watching our ship calmly return home, it looked majestic and heroic.

But, oh, heart! O heart! O heart!

Oh, the bright red blood flows,

On the deck, where lies my captain,

He's fallen, he's dead, he's cooled—"

After reading it, Abramo fainted, and when he fell, he was still holding Vera in his arms.

Arthur still had a splitting headache, but he persevered and sat down on the couch.

The 6 of clubs, the plum blossoms on the front turned into six sharp swords, on which rows of small letters appeared: "Name: Luca Abramo, Occupation: Horn Head Sequence: 7, Codename: Captain, Criticism: Use our swords to find land for our plows." ”
