Russell drove a black Toyota Camry down the road, and after getting up to the Washington Bridge, the cars began to multiply, and the road gradually became congested. Arthur puts the pistol in his pocket and talks to Russell about Tony Luciano.

"When did you start working for Tony?" Arthur asked, in his impression, Russell suddenly appeared one day, and then he followed Tony all the time, and every time he saw Tony, he would see Russell's tall and cold figure.

"In 1985, 10 years after I died, I met Tony in San Francisco." If Russell's words were heard by others, I was afraid that he would not say that he was talking crazy, but Arthur knew that Russell was not lying. He could feel that every word Russell said was true, and this feeling was reassuring.

"Then I followed him to New York, worked as a bodyguard for him, beat and killed people for him. I don't know why I wanted to follow him, I was just trying to get a job, I met Tony at the bar and helped him out of some troubles, and then he asked me if I had anything to do, and I said no, I wanted to get a job. He asked me if I knew how to use a gun, and I said I had fought in Vietnam, and he said he was very good and willing to pay me a very high salary. Russell recalled the past in 1985, after he followed Tony to New York, he did get a high salary, but he didn't take out a penny to enjoy it, and even Tony didn't know where Russell used the money.

He didn't have a credit card, he didn't have a bank account, his driver's license was a forgery, he didn't have a wife or children, he didn't have an property. He always only uses cash, lives in a small apartment in Manhattan, and no one knows what he does in his spare time except to protect Tony and do things for him every day. He doesn't love women, doesn't take drugs, doesn't drink alcohol, always wears a black coat and exudes the smell of death.

Tony is very happy with him, such a subordinate is really worry-free, and Russell is really extraordinary. Because of Russell's existence, Tony has gained a firm foothold in the Luciano family, at the cost of the Luciano family's decline from the top spot of the past five major families to the weakest one, and their internal friction is too great. Russell killed a lot of people in the process, and he was absolutely loyal to Tony.

But Tony didn't know that it wasn't Russell who was truly faithful......

"Do you remember before 1985?" Arthur wanted to know more about Russell and asked.

Russell shook his head and said, "I don't know, I felt like I had a dream, and when I woke up, it was 1985, on the beach in San Francisco. I can't remember a lot of things, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know I'd be dead. ”

"Then maybe I shouldn't show up."

"No, you should show up, I still have a lot to do."

"A lot of things, Mary?"

"I don't know, who is Mary?"

"That's what I'm asking you...... Okay, let's drive to Carlo High School. ”

The car slowly crossed the Washington Bridge, then passed the streets of Manhattan and went up to the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge, built in 1883, has been in use for more than 100 years and is as large and sturdy as a steel fortress. Arthur opened the window, and the rain outside had already lightened a lot, and the steel beams on the bridge deck were speeding in front of him.

Yu Peng is trying to sort out the memories left in Arthur's mind, hoping to find some clues to guide his next plan. Tony must be killed, but what should Abramo do about it? His nickname was Captain. Arthur took out the 6 of the clubs from his pocket, and on the back was the poem "Captain". Arthur knew that this poem was written by the American poet Whitman in honor of President Lincoln, because it was so famous.

Could it be that he, like Russell, will communicate with his own heart after reading the poem? Arthur isn't sure for sure, but it's definitely worth a try.

The car crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and came to Brooklyn. Some people say that Brooklyn is a slum, but in fact, Brooklyn is very large, with many small agglomerations, nice neighborhoods for the rich, and slums for violent and veteran crime, but overall, it is much better than Queens next door.

There are more than 2.5 million people in Brooklyn and more than 800 schools, two-thirds of which are public and one-third private. Most private schools are well-conditioned and well-resourced, and only accept children from families with a certain social status, because tuition fees are very expensive. Some of the public schools are high-quality, with good teachers and strict selection of students. And the rest are some so-called "inner city schools", distributed near the slums, specially for children in the slums, free education, happy education, so that they have a place to squander their youth hormones, learn some basic cultural knowledge, the quality of education and the environment can be imagined.

Gina's Carlow High School is one such inner-city school, and since she lived with Arthur, she has had to take the subway for more than an hour every day to get to school. After the dance club and cheerleading activities, take the subway back to Manhattan. It's not a safe road, especially as Gina gets prettier and gets better and better, and it's dangerous for a pretty white girl to walk around the Brooklyn ghetto.

Gina always wanted Arthur to pick him up after school, but Arthur always refused to come under the pretext that he was busy with work, which made her very angry. However, Arthur seemed to have become much gentler last night, and when he woke up in the morning, the two of them slept together. Gina couldn't bear to wake Arthur, woke up and made a terrible breakfast, left a note, and went to school on her own.

After school at three o'clock, Gina stayed at school, and there was a basketball game to be played at school today.

LaSalle Preparatory School from Rhode Island is going to take on the challenge of Carlo High School, and Gina, a member of the school's cheerleading team, has changed her clothes in the locker room early and warmed up on the court. Cheerleading girls in short skirts and tights with flower balls in their hands. Gina is the most conspicuous one, at the age of 17, she is already very mature, when she changes into tights, she exudes hormonal charm almost all the time, and firmly attracts the attention of the audience before the ball game starts.

A girl like Gina, of course, will be remembered by many people. But Gina has always claimed that she has a boyfriend from an Italian gang, which has made many followers fearful. But after a long time, no one has seen her so-called gang boyfriend, and her impatient mind naturally rises again.

During the warm-up, there were people constantly whistling on the field to get Gina's attention. There was also a sullen little black man, who got a camera from somewhere, and secretly took pictures of Gina. But Gina was dancing on the field all the time, and he never got the shot he wanted.

It's easy to find a good angle, but the cheerleaders quit and the game is about to begin.

In a place like Brooklyn, basketball, like hip-hop, is a tool for many poor people to survive and even change their lives. It's a hotbed of basketball, with superstars such as Bernard King, Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Mullin all born in New York, as well as some of the most legendary streetball players. Of course, there are still a few people who can really come out of this land, and many people are stuck on the threshold of talent, and it is difficult to take a step up.

None of the players at Carlo High School were clearly talented, and everyone on the field was overshadowed by a 15-year-old boy at LaSalle Preparatory School who had his name "Artest" on the back of his jersey.

Artest was born in the poorer borough of Queens, and before going to high school, he formed a team with his best friends Lamar Odom and Elton Brand to compete in the AAU's summer league. As a result, the combination of the three of them has a 67-1 record in the league, and all three have received attention from the top basketball schools.

As a result, Artest, who was born in the street slums, was able to wear the uniform of Lasalle High School to represent the school in the competition, a school that ordinary black children do not have the opportunity to go to.

The 15-year-old Artest showed his talent, strong body and all-round performance in the game, and the senior players who were two years older than him were no match for him. Like a little beast, he tore apart Carlo's high school defenses. Because he performed so well, the Carlo High School players who played at home were very faceless, so the defensive action became bigger and bigger.

Finally, Artest was brought down by his opponent during a layup, and Artest immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards the defender, and the two scuffled together. When a clash broke out, players on both sides gathered to throw punches at each other, and the referee's poignant whistle could not stop it, a scene that is all too common in Brooklyn basketball games.

The spectators on the sidelines began to throw debris at the field, and these bastards who were afraid of the world would be the happiest to see such a scene, and some of them began to yell and curse at the people of Casal High School. At this time, the girls on the cheerleading team are the most innocent, they are standing on the sidelines, one second they are still cheering for the players, and the next second something has already hit them on the head.

Scuffling players rush towards the cheerleaders, who have lost control and can't make their way, and the girls let out a scream. It was, a girl next to Gina shouted, "Who touched me!" "It looks like someone is taking advantage of the chaos to play groping. Gina hurriedly retreated to the corner of the court with the girls.

Chaos spreads, and some spectators join in the brawl, but Artest is undaunted, fighting the people of Carlo High School with one punch at a time. He grew up on the streets, fights and brawls were simply commonplace, and he was not afraid of how many cames.

The scene is becoming more and more chaotic, Gina just wants to escape, but she doesn't know where to run, she and a few girls can only huddle in a ball to prevent being washed away and trampled. The superintendent, the teacher, and the referee are powerless to maintain order, but they have no good way to deal with this carnival, they have called the police, but it will take time for the police to come.

At this time, Gina felt someone grab her arm, she screamed in fright, and when she looked up, she saw Arthur.

"Arthur!"

"It's me, I'm here to pick you up from school." Arthur pulled Gina into his arms and gently wrapped his arms around her, bringing her out of the chaotic corner.

"Why are you here?"

"You left a note for me to pick you up."

"I thought you weren't coming."

"Then you don't need me to come?"

"No, I need to." Gina was freed from the chaos, and when she saw Arthur coming to pick her up, her chest was filled and surrounded by a kind of warmth and sweetness, and all those violence and noise suddenly became irrelevant to her, and she didn't need to be afraid anymore.

At this time, Arthur saw that on the court, a stunned black boy was fighting with several people, and he was besieged, but he was not afraid. Arthur looked at his face and felt familiar, and then squinted at the name on his back, "Artest......

"Damn, isn't this charity, the world, peace? It's really peaceful. ”

In this time-travel, Arthur finally meets a man he knows, a celebrity, a famous violent star of the future NBA, Ron Artest, who later changed his name to Charity World Peace.

So, Arthur pulled out a revolver from his bosom.

"What are you going to do?" Gina asked in horror as she saw Arthur pull out her gun.

"Let everyone calm down."

Arthur then took Gina into his arms, put his arm over her ear, put the muzzle of the gun above his head, and pulled the trigger.

After the "bang" of the gunshot, the chaos on the court suddenly stopped, followed by many people holding their heads and scurrying, looking for a place to lie on their stomachs or hide.

Because there are shootings every day, the people of the United States have developed the conditioned reflex of automatically lying down when they hear the noise.

Artest was the only one on the field who didn't hide, and he stood there like a manic bull, looking for the source of the gunshots, and then saw Arthur with Gina in his arms.

Arthur was also looking at Artest, thinking, "This shot is too loud!" My ears are deafening! ”
