Many years ago, wishbones were just a Southern-style restaurant with diced cheese, but no one could have predicted that in the 22nd century, wishbones would become synonymous with luxury hotel chains on the North American continent.

In Chicago, Wishbone has two branches, one in the Loop and one on Michigan Avenue, and is favored by the city's financial oligarchy and aristocracy.

And on this day, in the luxurious box of the Wishbone Restaurant in the Loop District, the two second owners of the Luches family and the Genovise family were going to get together for a meal. Of course, they didn't go to the banquet alone, a few experienced gunmen, a personal bodyguard, this is a must for the gangsters when negotiating, if you don't take a brother out in full armor, you are embarrassed to greet your peers.

The idea for this meal was proposed by DeWitt, who asked Joseph to send a man of status to bring Sonny with him to the table and communicate with him about the Valentine's night. Joseph, after listening to one of DeWitt's plans, agreed and sent his cousin Tommy Galliano, the second boss of the Luches family, as a negotiator.

Joseph seems to be so confident in DeWitt's plan that he even secretly instructed Tommy to speak less during the negotiation and let DeWitt talk to the other side. As for Sonny, Joseph had only one word to him: "My dear nephew, my request to you about this dinner is simple, keep your mouth shut!"

On the Genovise family's side, in order to show solemnity, Frank Genovice, as the second boss, was duty-bound to prepare for the banquet, and they were actually quite surprised. According to common sense, with the relationship between Sonny and Tony, after this kind of incident, the Luches family should stand still and try their best to clear things up. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly called the head office (the Genovise family has many legal properties on the surface) and said that he would invite your boss to dinner. Could it be that Joseph's old fox finally decided to kill his relatives in righteousness and hand over Sonny himself to settle the matter?

This is not impossible, but it is more likely that the Hongmen banquet will be more auspicious and less auspicious.

Frank has always been suspicious, and people born in this era, no matter what kind of education they receive and what beliefs they are instilled into, when you really begin to understand the world and history, you will understand that those traditions and beliefs are simply unreliable. Pure violence can shatter everything, even religion has been destroyed by the empire, what are the mafias still stuck to?

Therefore, in addition to his men, Frank also ambushed many gunmen around the hotel, ready to go to war at any time.

The outcome of the victory will be recorded in history, and as for the means, leave it to the loser to tangle with it. The deaths of Tony and Joe were just the straw that broke the camel's back, and tonight, it is likely that a war will begin, and the two most powerful families in Chicago may finally have to decide a winner.

February 17, 7 p.m.

Several stretched Lincolns were heading towards the Wishbone Hotel, and in the middle of the cars were the Luches family bosses and their entourage.

And in one of the cars, sat two informal members of the family, the so-called partners in the mouth of the mafia.

DeWitt and Mike are also in formal attire today, but Mike's face is very ugly, in fact, he doesn't want to come, but DeWitt has found a very good reason, you have the opportunity to hack the information of a large number of senior members of the Genovise family, why don't you come?

Mike's already pale face was sweating profusely at this time: "You know, I keep seeing the scene of the driver suddenly turning around and shooting us with a silenced pistol, or the limousine he was riding in suddenly exploded. ”

"You've watched too many movies. DeWitt replied immediately.

"What exactly you're trying to do tonight, I don't quite understand. Mike said.

"Aren't you smart? Guess what. DeWitt said.

The corners of Mike's mouth twitched: " There are three situations I can think of, first, you detain the basin on Sonny's head and push him out to the people of the Genovise family to be disposed of, which is already considered the best policy; second, you admit that you did it all by yourself, recount the story of the black and black, apologize, return the money to the family, and ask the other party to spare your life in the face of the Luches family, this is the middle policy, and whether you can survive depends on the other party's reaction; third, it is naturally a decision, and it is also based on my lack of deep understanding of you, and I expect you to do things, such as saying to the second boss of the Genovise family with a disdainful face"I did it, you stupid pigs, I won't pay back the money, today is to let you know and know, and when you see the master in the future, you will recognize a little bit and take a detour." ”

"Hehehe......" DeWitt laughed, "Your Chinese is good, I thought you were just born in North America." ”

"Nonsense...... Chinese and English are taught in schools all over the world, and I am also a top student, and proficiency in two languages is a minimum. Besides, I just think that using Chinese at this time can show you more vividly ...... person" Mike said, "Don't ramble, can you tell me in advance which way you are going to go." While I think there's a good chance that any of these three scenarios will end up in a shootout and a massacre, at least I hope to be mentally prepared. ”

DeWitt said, "What can you do to tell you?"

"How's it going? Getting under the table at a faster speed, what do you think?"

"It's a good idea, but I think that when the situation escalates, grenades and other things may join the fray, and then you won't be able to drill anywhere." ”

Mike laughed dryly: "Well said, you see how this is, before the conflict escalated, you hinted that I would leave the table to go to the last long toilet." ”

DeWitt replied very dryly, "No way." ”

While the two were chatting, the car had stopped, and a waiter from the hotel opened the door to the back seat: "Welcome to the Wishbone Hotel, gentlemen, and I wish you a pleasant evening." ”

............

The atmosphere in the box is indescribably weird. In the past, the godfathers in the city negotiated, although they sometimes went to the hotel, but they usually chatted in spacious rooms, smoking cigars.

But tonight, at a delicate square table, there were four people seated, Tommy Galliano and DeWitt on the Luches family's side, and Frank Genovise and his henchman bodyguard, Ernie the Gypsy. Everyone else, including Sonny, who was already full of anger, Gava, who had been following him all along, and Mike, all stood around and watched.

The box wasn't very big, and the two groups had to stand apart and guard each other, and the four of them had to eat in such a scorching and tense environment, which looked really funny.

"It's a fucking good idea to call dozens of them out for dinner, isn't it? It is said that the gangsters in Hong Kong at the end of the 20th century did this, but they didn't go to fancy hotels, and the weapons they carried were cold weapons. Mike said to Gava beside him, in a tone that seemed to be complaining and joking.

Gava glared at him with the fierce eyes, "Do you want to be torn to pieces by your own people?"

Mike had no choice but to shrink his neck and shut his mouth, it seemed that he and this rough man could not find any common language.

The psychological quality of the hotel waiter is very good, he came in to serve the food calmly, smiling and reporting the name of the dish, what should I do, the hand that pours the wine is as steady as Mount Tai, all done properly and do not forget to ask: "Is there anything else you need to serve?" ”

When the eldest brother had been expelled, Devitt stuffed something into his mouth and said, "What's the matter, gentlemen? Why don't you use your knife and fork?

Frank grimaced, and he said to Tommy, "Who is this kid?"

Tommy replied bluntly, "Joseph said he was an advisor. ”

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and except for a few people who knew in advance, the mafia people in the whole house made a lot of commotion.

Frank's face changed only slightly, and he quickly regained his composure: "Are you kidding?"

DeWitt interjected again: "Hey, gentlemen, do you know that a milkshake here costs forty dollars? That's milk and ice cream, no wine and no ingredients, and a little sliced fruit sells for forty dollars, and you're indifferent to the dishes in front of you, are you kidding?"

Frank couldn't take it anymore and turned to DeWitt and said, "If you kid tells me how to eat again, I'll screw your head off and hollow out the milkshake for forty dollars a cup." ”

DeWitt said: "That's right, that's the way negotiations should be." So, let me tell you all the questions you're interested in at once, first of all, I don't fucking care if you believe it or not, I'm the advisor anyway. Secondly, on the night of the fourteenth, your money is now with me, and I am not going to return it to you. In the end, all of your men are finished, and I take responsibility for the matter. Is there anything else you want to know?"

"Hehehehe......" Frank suddenly laughed and laughed, "Tommy, do you have anything to say?"

Tommy was calm: "He's our partner now, that's all I have to say. ”

"I think you know very well what that means. Frank Road.

Tommy replied, "Of course I know, it's you who don't know the situation, and you don't seem to know much about your situation at the moment. ”

Frank snorted coldly: "Loop is not your territory, old friend, are you so sure that you are the only one who ambushed people in the hotel?"

"Your confidence comes from the twelve gunmen you have arranged in advance in the two rooms at the end of the hallway, and the fifty-five men in the parking lot and two blocks nearby. ”

Frank was stunned in his heart, what surprised him was not that the other party already knew about the ambush, but that Devit was able to say such a precise number of people, could it be that there was a mole around him? This terrible assumption made Frank, who didn't believe in anyone in the first place, almost crazy, his face was instantly covered with gloom, and he looked at DeWitt and said, "You know very specifically." ”

DeWitt casually pointed at Mike behind him with the fork in his hand: "That four-eyed man hacked the mobile phones of several of your subordinates on the way here, I know everything, you see, he is doing something with his handheld computer now." ”

In an instant, the eyes of the whole room were on Mike, who was out of place with the rest of the room, completely like a college student playing with his mobile phone and walking on the wrong set, and now everyone finally had a sense of enlightenment.

Mike really wanted to take advantage of the situation at the moment and strangle DeWitt from behind, but he was just thinking about it, and the reality was that he smirked twice, made eye contact with Frank, and waved hello.

DeWitt continued: "Mr. Genovise, at this point, I estimate that you are about to flip the table, which is a situation that everyone can foresee, so I suggest that you take a moment and listen to me about some more substantive content, which is the main point of today's discussion with you." ”

"Oh, what else are you going to say?" Mr. 'Advisor'. He said the word advisor with a distinctly mocking tone.

"First of all, I want to state that I have no grudge against the Genovise family, and my intention is not to destroy you, of course, judging from the current course of the plan, it is inevitable to destroy you, and if you or any of your men can return alive today, you might as well explain directly to Mr. Samuel Jenovise, you are just an experiment, and I have no intention of targeting you. ”

Even Frank wanted to punch him in the face himself, but Devit said lightly: "In any case, after tonight, even if Luches and Genovise go to war, I can be sure that you will lose a lot tonight and fall apart in a very short time." But Genovise is a huge group, you still have a lot of serious business, there are many industries under your name, these are completely resources that can be used, just imagine if you all die, then these properties will soon be embezzled by the empire, and then I will be difficult to deal with, so I can give you a chance now, Frank. DeWitt ate the last bite of food on his plate: "Now, at this moment, you still have a chance, on behalf of your brother, to accept the unconditional surrender." ”

Frank seemed to be overly angry, and he laughed angrily: "Tommy, hehehe...... Where did Joseph get this kid, is he a comedian? Are you crazy? hahahaha. He suddenly flipped the table: "You killed our men, robbed us of our money, started a war, and then demanded that we surrender before we could pay any bloodshed?" he said, pulling his gun as he stepped back, and his bodyguard Ernie moved faster than Frank, he raised his gun and aimed it at Tommy Galliano's eyebrows.

"It seems that the answer is 'no'. DeWitt shrugged, not caring about being pointed at gunpoint, and pressed a remote button that had been hidden in his cuff.

In just a second, the entire hotel was plunged into darkness, and the sound of shattering utensils echoed in the darkness. Every piece of glass in the hotel, whether it is a light tube, a wine bottle, a mirror, a window, a chandelier, is all bursting and collapsing at the same time, and the people in the hotel are all falling to the ground as if they were hit by some invisible shock wave, many of them have bloodshot eyes, and some serious ones are bleeding from their nostrils.

But everyone in the Luches family stood unharmed, everyone took out the liquid lighting guns they had prepared in advance, and the pitch-black box was lit up again with a lot of blue and cyan light.

The hands of the Genovise family fell to the ground without exception, and although a few of them could still move, their vision was blurred, they couldn't find their sense of balance at all, their heads were buzzing, and there was no possibility of standing up and resisting.

"Oh, is that Ernie really a powerhouse...... "DeWitt muttered to himself, scanning the corners of the box with great speed, except for Frank and Ernie.
