Chapter 9: Collapse
Ernie answered DeWitt's question with his fist, and he let out a loud shout, and the elbow of his right arm suddenly sparked outward, and the punch was like a missile, and under the propulsion of a reaction force, it rushed towards DeWitt's face.
But his arm exploded like the gun he had just held, and Ernie spurted blood from his mouth, and he was knocked to the ground by the force of the explosion, never to get back up again.
A third of his torso and entire right arm had been blown away, revealing semi-mechanically modified internal organs, and the electrical circuits under the protective armor were smoking and sizzling.
DeWitt said: "This is decent, the special ultrasonic power field armor, as well as the complex physiological machinery inside, even if it is damaged by such a degree of explosive force, the energy can still sustain life." ”
"It's impossible to malfunction during an attack...... Can you control metal?"
"No, if I have the ability to control a substance, and it's a metal, even if I'm in a wheelchair, I'm a strong person. My ability is to reverse the kinetic energy created by non-living organisms that are very close to me. To put it simply, the bullet will not be fired, and all the pressure generated by the ****** will explode in the barrel, and your arm, the punch just now and the one you used when you hit the door upstairs, bend the arm, let the elbow pressure propulsion device explode in a short distance, but if this force returns to act on the inside of your mechanical arm, it will cause the current result. DeWitt said and took out his gun: "That's why, it's impossible for a transhuman to win against me, and besides, I don't think you can win with physical ability alone." With that, he pulled the trigger, and DeWitt's gun worked normally, the bullet went into Ernie's forehead, his head was blown out, blood spurted out, and the electrical part of his brain was ignited, and the flames quickly spread to his entire body.
DeWitt cocked the barrel and pretended to blow a cigarette: "It's a pity that the seismic force field failed after a heavy blow." ”
By this time, the sound of sirens had almost enveloped the entire area around the hotel, but DeWitt walked up to the second floor unhurriedly and found the room without a door.
Samuel Genovise and his brother Frank Genovise remained in the room smoking cigars with grace, and although they did not go out to watch the game, when DeWitt appeared in front of them, they understood that Ernie was finished. The Gypsy's loyalty and strength were unmatched in the family, but he had been killed in only five minutes after he walked out of the room.
DeWitt said directly: "Gentlemen, I know that even if I want you to live, it will only be a humiliation for you, so please don't move." He raised his gun: "As a loser, it can be called the only relief to have a body with a decent appearance at the funeral, or rather, it is the last dignity and gift I left to the two of you." ”
"Police, put down your guns, boy. Arthur's pistol was held against the back of DeWitt's neck.
DeWitt looked slightly surprised: "Oh, so fast?"
Arthur said, "Hmph...... The sirens are still far away, so do you think there's still time?" he reached for DeWitt's weapon and grabbed the weapon in DeWitt's hand: "I'm sorry, my men and I came on foot, and the police car is still parked two blocks away, so please come with us for a while." He turned back and beckoned, "Take him." Then he turned his face again and looked at the two bigwigs of the Genovise family: "Torture them both as well." ”
The policemen rushed in and gave DeWitt and two Genovese a pair of silver bracelets, one of which was one in it.
DeWitt said viciously, "Sonny, that bastard, did you slip away with people...... Hum...... It was put on the table. ”
............
Two days later, a series of news that caused a sensation in the city broke out one after another.
The Genovise brothers cooperated with the police, and all the organizations or individuals in the city who had anything to do with the mafia were in danger for a while. Because with the rank and testimony of these two men, thousands of people could be sent to prison, including many important people in business and politics.
Officer Arthur is on the rise, and he has the potential to become one of the top men in Chicago police before he retires, not just a detective on the front lines. When he was in prison, Frank realized that this corrupt cop was actually far more shrewd than himself, and the always cautious Arthur had no handle at all, so that he could still say that he was an anti-undercover agent.
Arthur proposed a deal on behalf of the authorities, in which the Genovise brothers could exchange their testimony and all their family property for a witness protection plan, yes, this is what they could get in the end, to live an ordinary life, and to remain incognito forever.
But in the face of reality, the mafia giants who once dominated Chicago also had to bow their noble heads, because if they refused the deal, they could face dozens of charges and end up in prison.
In their previous vendetta with the Lucis family, they had lost their advisors (legal advisers, second only to bosses in the mafia family, responsible for the important task of legalizing all businesses) and fierce generals like Ernie, whether it was legal means or prison escape, they could hardly get out, and after the two of them were sentenced to 180 years in prison, the empire could still legally confiscate all their property.
But now, at least the two brothers can use the power of the police to break the kettle and deal a fatal blow to Luches's old fox. Seeing that there was no hope for revenge, they did everything they could to reveal the criminal evidence and intelligence of the Luches family in their possession, the sales network of all illegal transactions, etc., and they almost went crazy and took the initiative to confess. Several judges and experts brought in by the police worked overtime to record every word they provided.
It's all like a storm that changes the landscape of the city, and Chicago is in a state of even more chaos than the vendetta between the two mafia families. The Luches family did not stop killing the Genovise family, and they themselves were retaliated against and severely beaten by the police.
It's only been a week, and the members of the Genovese family have either been killed, fled, or simply joined other mafia organizations, after all, their leaders have already cooperated with the Empire, and there is no point in holding on.
And the Luches family has suffered heavy losses, almost all the underground businesses have collapsed, countless senior members have been imprisoned, Sonny and Gava are no exception, and even Joseph Luczes himself was invited by the police station to drink tea and chat, and finally paid hundreds of thousands of bail before coming out, which can be said to be difficult to protect. His mansion is now surrounded by police, which is about the same as house arrest, but that's fine. With so many police officers standing guard, there is no fear of revenge from the Genovese family and the remnants of the die-hard party. It is expected that this state of affairs will continue until his case is heard at the end of March.
............
March 23.
In the darkness of the night, someone opened the door to Joseph Luches's bedroom and walked in.
Joseph woke up instantly, he couldn't sleep for a day or two, he took out the pistol next to the pillow, pointed at the figure in the dark, he still showed the majesty of a godfather: "Who are you?"
"Your counselor, of course. DeWitt said, turning on the light in the room, and the huge room lit up, shining on DeWitt's appearance, he was at the moment very embarrassed, dressed in tattered clothes, gray-headed, unkempt.
"You're not ......," Joseph exclaimed.
DeWitt interrupted, "Aren't you still in prison......?" Fortunately, it's just a prison for ordinary people, and you can always get out if you think of a way. He walked to the side of the mini-bar, took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and took a few sips without a glass: "Forgive me for coming to see you with this virtue, I just escaped, and I need to find some disguise on the way, um...... Sorry, I'm a little thirsty. ”
Joseph didn't give DeWitt any good look, he lowered his face and said: "Advisor, the matter has come to this point, you have to take full responsibility! What Genovise family is not a problem at all, it's all nonsense! Look at the current result! Your plan is over!"
"No, I still have a way, I'm out this time ......," DeWitt explained.
But Joseph could not listen to him, and suddenly, without warning, the godfather of the Luches family fell to the ground, and the wound was as smooth as a mirror, and it took a few seconds for blood to spill out.
DeWitt's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him, he was always conceited and calm, and he couldn't even say anything: "What......"
"You've made so many mistakes that I can only declare the test a complete failure. Mike's voice sounded, he came in from outside the door, slowly walked past De Witt, rummaged in the Xiaoice box behind the bar for a long time, took out a bottle of tomato juice, poured himself half a cup with a goblet, and then said to De Witt, who was already stunned: "First of all, you misunderstood the meaning of 'consultant', in all aspects."
Normally, it's a position, but what you're doing isn't what a consultant should do......, is it? I'll talk about that later;
And 'advisor' can also be a nickname or honorific title, which is what most people think, and you should have thought so before you pretended to be me, but you're all wrong.
'Consultant', is my name, my surname is Gu, a single name and a question, this is a Chinese name, that's all. ”
The advisor drank the tomato juice from his cup and let out a long breath, "You're a terrible imitator, but before you die, I can teach you one last lesson, what do you call this kind of thing, oh...... That's right, intangibles. ”
