The news of San's serious injury and impending death shocked the entire underground world.

When news came that Godfather Vito Corleone had risen from his hospital bed to preside over the family's affairs, the spies attending the funeral reported that Don seemed to have recovered, and that the heads of the five families had gone berserk and began to prepare for the inevitable bloody war of revenge.

No one can make the mistake of thinking that the godfather will be easier to deal with when misfortune befalls him. He was a man who had only made a few mistakes in his life, and he learned from them every time.

Moreover, from the Corleone family, one of the five major families in New York, it can be understood that the energy of the Corleone family is amazingly terrifying, and even the strong power of the five major families cannot defeat Corleone, the black evil dragon entrenched in the United States.

Only Hagen knew that the Godfather might pave the way for William's return again.

On the second day, the five major families received the news of the peace talks from the messenger sent by the godfather, and everyone was shocked, not thinking that the godfather would give up the excellent opportunity for revenge because of his son's near-death, but another news came, the godfather held a national gangster summit, and the Buchzio family served as a guarantee.

Everyone was relieved at this time, because the Buchzio family was the most trustworthy family in Sicily and could not be violated by life.

After the guarantor of the mediation was in place, the peace talks took place in the boardroom of a small commercial bank, which was actually the bank of the Corleone family.

On Saturday morning, the bank's Chief Executive Suite, with its fluffy leather chairs, was 100 per cent private and ready for families.

The major gangster families from all over the country sat down in turn, and opposite the godfather were the seats of the five major families, who were far more powerful than the other gangster families.

Officially arrived at 9 o'clock, a family can only lead one advisor, the godfather as the initiator, the first to arrive, with the advisor Tom Hagan, followed by the heads of the five families:

The Bazzini family: Leader Emilio. Basini;

Curio Family: Leader Otirio. Curio;

Strazy Family: Leader Anthony. Strazi;

The Tatakilla family, headed by Philip Brown. Tatakilia;

Each of them led an advisor and sat opposite the godfather.

Although these families are ranked among the five major families with the Corleone family, and their influence radiates throughout the United States, they all belong to the top level, but the Corleone family in the hands of the godfather has to be counted separately, after all, the four major families together may not be able to fight the Corleone family, and there is a conclusion in this war.

Many leaders looked at the godfather, puzzled as to why they were holding peace talks at the Gangster Summit when Aiko was on the verge of death.

"First of all, I would like to say thank you for coming. I owe you a favor to all of you who can come here, and I just want to reason for today's purpose. ”

The godfather was the first to speak, like a nobody: "Why are we going to war, why is the situation going to this point?" ”

None of the people below spoke, some smoking cigars, some drinking, quietly listening to the godfather's speech.

"Thank God I'm back to health and maybe I'll be able to correct this in time. My son is probably too reckless, too, too stubborn, I don't deny that. ”

"Anyway, Solozzo approached me for a business and asked me to help him with money and influence. He said the Tartaglia family had already expressed interest. This business is a book seller, and I'm not interested in it. I like to be quiet, and such an enterprising business is too noisy for me. With respect for him and the Tartaglia family, I explain my opinion to Solozo. I expressed my refusal with the highest degree of courtesy. I said that his business had nothing to do with mine, and that I had no objection to him making a living his way. ”

"But.... He misunderstood the meaning, and he brought misfortune to everyone. Alas, that's life. Who in this room doesn't have their own sadness? What follows is really not what I intended. ”

After the godfather finished speaking in one breath, Heigen appropriately handed over a glass of water to moisten his throat, and he smiled: "I'm old, I still have to drink water after talking so much." ”

"But since I am old, I must give in, and I decided to make peace, and the heir of Tartaglia is dead, and my son is also seriously wounded. If people give up all rationality and hold on to resentment, what will become of the world? This is the source of misery in Sicily, men are so busy with revenge that they don't have time to provide for their families, it's stupid! ”

"I want to say," the godfather continued, "I have not taken steps to investigate who betrayed my son and who assassinated him before today, and I will not do so from now on, as long as peace is made. ”

"But... I have only one wish. “

The godfather swept the heads of the five major families in front of him one by one: "One of my sons has a home and can't go back, I must be guaranteed, and when I make arrangements, he can return home safely, without interference, and without worrying about the government." ”

The rest of the families from all over the country breathed a sigh of relief, and the godfather restored the original godfather, who was rational, able to bend and stretch, and had a good voice. However, everyone has noticed that he claims to be healthy, which means that you should not take him lightly because of the misfortunes that have befallen the Corleone family.

The heads of the five major families looked at each other slightly, would the godfather really be so good at talking?

During this time, they faced the Corleone family war, and the losses on both sides were too great, the Tartaglia family lost their heir, and now the godfather of the Corleone family, Sonny, is dying.

All he demanded was that his youngest son, William, return safely from Sicily, and that he not join forces to hunt him down.

It is true that the young man named William Corleone has brought them a lot of losses, but he is still far from the weight of the godfather's words, and he promises not to pursue it again, and the two sides can negotiate everything, and all business can be returned to the right track, and this chaotic situation can be ended.

To be honest, they wanted to end it a long time ago, and now business and interests are everything.

However, of the five major families, only the head of the Tartaglia family is worried that he has lost an heir, and it was he who launched the assassination against Sonny, and the godfather's verbal promise is not enough.

"I agree with Lord Vito Corleone's opinion just now, that peace be restored, but I would like to hear strict assurances from the Corleone family. Will he try personal revenge? As time passes, his position may become more secure, and will he forget that we swore to remain friends forever? ”

"How do I know that in three or four years he won't feel that he has been wronged and that he has been forced against his will to agree to today's agreement, so that he can break his vows as he pleases? Do we have to be vigilant against each other all the time, or can we really live a peaceful life with peace in our hearts? I'm willing to give assurances, can Corleone give his assurances to everyone? ”

The leaders sitting in the seats looked at Vito Corleone again, no one dared to take the power of the Corleone family lightly, would the godfather really not take revenge?

Godfather Vito Corleone stood up, pressed one hand against the thick table, and looked at him: "Are you pointing to revenge?" ”

"Will revenge bring your son back from the dead?" The godfather chuckled, "And the dying Sonny, I don't care about his injuries or actions, but ..... Before I pledge in my name Vito Corleone, I have one condition. ”

At this time, everyone could feel the fire in the godfather's eyes like a dragon, which made people's hearts palpitate and tremble:

"My youngest son, William. Corleone, who has been forced to exile from this country because of the affairs of Sorozo, I want to let him return home safely and drop all the false accusations, but I..."

"But I am a superstitious person, if he unfortunately has an accident, is shot by the police while walking on the road, hangs himself in prison, is struck by lightning, the boat he is riding in falls into the sea, the plane he is riding in falls, the car is hit, I will blame the superstitious I will blame your malice towards him, and then I will not be polite."

"In addition to this, I swear by the life of my grandson that I will never break the peace we have concluded today."

The godfather presses his left hand to his chest.
