One Saturday afternoon, the hostages of the Buqiqiu family arrived at Corleone's house, and Santino arranged for several men to play cards with him, as was happening elsewhere in New York.

The Bu Qiqiu family used their faith and ferocity to endorse the safety of this meeting, and once someone was killed at the meeting, then the hostages of the Bu Qiqiu family who remained in his house would also be killed; So the Bu Qiqiu family can use the name of their own family's people being killed, and openly go to the people who did it at the meeting to take revenge.

The revenge of the Bu Qiqiu family has always been endless, unless someone can directly uproot the Bu Qiqiu family, otherwise no one dares to bear this consequence, and it is not easy to uproot the Bu Qiqiu family, they have a large number of family members in the United States and Sicily.

Of course, all of this is paid, and this is also one of the main sources of income for the Bu Qiqiu family, and the American mafia will choose them to provide security protection if they want to negotiate.

The godfather took Shen Long and Tom Hagen to the office building of a small commercial bank in the center of New York, and Santino looked at their disappearing backs, feeling a little lost, because he knew that it meant that he had completely lost the race for the family heir.

But thinking about everything that happened before, if it wasn't for Shen Long's help, he would be finished, and when the godfather temporarily handed over the power of the family to him, he really didn't perform well enough.

In a short time we arrived at the meeting place, the bank, which was in fact the property of the Corleone family, although it was in the name of the president; The president had shown his loyalty by handing over an equity agreement to the old godfather, who was disgusted by it, and felt that a commitment was enough, and that the document was an insult to their friendship.

But Shen Long didn't think so, this kind of behavior may be normal in old Sicily, but the United States is a commercial society after all, and it is better to have contracts than each other, he doesn't believe that if the old godfather dies, the president will keep this kind of promise, so he insists on signing a formal business contract with Mo Green.

The meeting was held in the bank's manager's meeting room, which also had a small bar and restaurant for conference attendees, making it easier for them to hold meetings.

According to the rules, each gangster can only bring one entourage, and Shen Long's ability to participate is the result of the godfather's communication with other families in advance, and the other families quickly guessed the intention of this move.

The old godfather sat at the top, Shen Long sat on his left hand side, and Tom Hagen sat behind the godfather, quietly waiting for the arrival of the other gangsters.

The first to arrive was Carlo Tramonti, who dominated the southern United States, who controlled Florida's gambling industry, owned a high-end luxury hotel in Miami Beach, and worked with the Cuban government to build casinos and brothels in Havana to attract Americans there.

He came with his own military advisor, and to such a meeting, most of them were a duo of patriarchs and military advisors, and Tramonti gave his godfather a hug.

Then there's Joseph Zarouch of Detroit, whose family owns a local racetrack and controls most of the local gambling industry, and after amassing enough wealth, he has already begun to think about whitewashing, and his son is married to a large American family, possibly in politics in the future.

Then there are two bigwigs from the West Coast, Franco Falcón, who controls Hollywood's major unions and the leather business, and Anthony Molinari, who is in charge of the sports betting industry in San Francisco, who provided security for Shen Long's trip to Las Vegas.

Boston's mob leader, Dominigo Pancha, has a bit of a problem with the old godfather, and he makes a mess of Boston, and both his subordinates and partners are very unhappy with him.

Vincent Fleur from Cleveland, who controls the largest underground gambling force in the United States, and his family is known as the Jewish gang because, like the old godfather, he did not choose a Sicilian as a military advisor, but found a Jew.

His style was also different from that of many old-fashioned Italian gangsters, he was highly organized, and he was also very good at co-opting politicians to protect his industry, in his words: a velvety political glove on his iron hands.

Ten patriarchs from all over the country arrived one after another, including almost all the influential families in the United States, who controlled the largest and most economically developed areas of the country, except for Chicago, where the gangs were far more brutal and unreasonable than elsewhere because of Al Capone, and they thought it was completely pointless to involve such mad dogs in meetings.

Everyone was there, the patriarchs of the other families were paying attention to the empty chairs, consciously or unconsciously, and there were a few fewer people attending this meeting compared to the last one, and Emilio Barsini, Filippo Tataglia, Anthony Strazi, and Tirio Cuneo would never be in such a place again.

Two days ago, they were still discussing the matter of the meeting, and when they turned their heads, the four patriarchs were killed, and the four families whose original strength was not much different from them fell like this, which made them look at the old godfather with some fear; There are also many people who have their eyes on Shen Long, they have more or less gotten some news, and vaguely know that this incident is led by the young man in front of them.

They were observing Shen Long, and Shen Long was also observing them, some of these people looked like lazy millionaires, some looked like melancholy scholars, and some wore the amulet of the Pope's blessing, like devout believers, who knew that they all had blood on their hands?

Most of these people are from Sicily and have developed and grown in the United States, which made Shen Long can't help but complain in his heart, this is really a simple and simple American people, and there are many talents in Sicily!

"I'm grateful to all of you for being here under such circumstances." The old godfather welcomed everyone, "I have come here not to quarrel with anyone, nor to explain anything, but to reason with everyone. ”

No one objected, some smoked cigars, some drank wine, they were good listeners and very patient people.

The godfather likes to reason with people the most, and he can always persuade others, he sighed, "How did things come to this point, well, it's nothing, things have happened, these stupid things are unfortunate and unnecessary, so I'll tell you my personal opinion!" ”
