18, small town news, Marlena should be in a hurry
At the moment, there isn't much fluctuation on Russell's properties page.
The red health bar representing 'return' is only one-third of the way up, and it's still early for the return.
The blue health bar is all lit up, but Russell doesn't have any skills he wants right now.
And because of the real family situation, he had to make more money, even if the exchange of the heavenly world to reality was 100:1, he also admitted it.
It's better than not making money.
When the ship entered the quayside of the town's docks, it dropped its anchor.
Russell first went ashore in a small boat, and Oriattle watched and unloaded.
The tobacco would be delivered directly to the cigarette factory, so Nevino had already sent someone to wait at the docks, and three transport trucks were parked on the shore and loaded into the wagons almost seamlessly.
"Boss."
Russell lit a cigarette and asked, "How's it going?" ”
"Our goods are selling very well and Sicilian cigarettes are all over the island these days! The profit can reach 200,000 per day. ”
"Yes, is there anything going on in the town?"
Nevino was stunned, "Boss, I didn't pay attention to the town, I'm going to inquire now..."
"No need, you keep an eye on it, don't have a fire, I'll go back."
"Okay, boss, Felisto waited at the tavern for days, and he said you asked him to wait here to drive you back."
"Yes."
Nevino ran to the tavern to inform Felisto.
In fact, like Nivino's current level, there is no need to go to inform him in person, and it is completely okay to let the younger brother go.
But he didn't do it, because he wanted to show himself in front of Russell, and he also meant to flatter.
Russell didn't say anything about Nevino's little thoughts, which was too normal.
Half a minute later.
Felisto walked out of the tavern and looked at Russell excitedly.
"Godfather!"
Russell nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "I've been waiting for a long time, let's get in the car and talk." ”
"Yes!"
Felisto opened the back door, and Russell sat inside.
After he drove away, Nivino came out of the tavern, looking a little puzzled, and came to the side of the car just in time to see Oriatu standing on the boat.
"Oryatu."
"What's wrong, Nevino?"
"Felisto drove the boss back, how can he drive the boss?"
Oriatu glanced at him, "What's wrong with him doing things for the godfather and acting as a driver?" ”
Nevino understood.
"No problem, then call Felistto to have dinner in the factory tomorrow night."
"You've got some good wine?"
"This time it's shochu! I finally got it, and I prepared a bottle of red wine from 20 years ago for the boss. ”
Oliato said, "I'll call Felisto tomorrow night." ”
--
Felisto drove steadily, and even though the road was potholed, Russell didn't feel how much the car swayed.
"Tell me about the town."
"Okay, there's a burglary in the town, and lawyer Ottobi is dead in his home, with a knife in his house stabbed in the chest, and tens of thousands of miles of belongings and cash have been lost."
"Mr. Mayor went to check it out in person, and said that it was done by bandits, and it must be thoroughly investigated."
"But some of the residents don't think so, they think it's strange that Ottobi died, saying that Casdia's soul came back and took his life, because Ottobi often hangs around Marlena's house."
"You've been mentioned as well, but the mayor has stopped the rumors that you're a dedicated security officer, but there's something to take care of these days."
Russell wanted to laugh when he heard it.
This mayor has been much more sensible after being scared to pee.
"Godfather, there's one thing that's very unusual."
"What's the matter?"
"Marlena, the prettiest woman in town, went out to the beach after you left town. But after Ottoby's death, Marlena never left the room. ”
"Did she hear the gossip?"
"Yes."
The townspeople can be said to show their humanity to the fullest, and no matter what happens, they can blame Marlena.
It seems that he wants to dye this white flower black.
It's all jealousy.
At this point, Russell was not ready to continue asking, he had already heard the answer he wanted.
Lawyer Ottobi died.
"Felisto, you will be responsible for leading a group in the future, and you will usually drive for me."
Ahead, Felisto couldn't help but express joy when he heard this.
"Yes, thank you, Godfather! I, Felisto, am willing to give my life and do anything for you. ”
"Let's do a good job."
"Okay."
The car stopped at the door of the house with a sea view, and Felisto got out of the car and opened the door.
Russell got out of the car and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to treat Marlena to dinner, and you go and prepare a good bottle of red wine." ”
Felisto was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and responded: "Okay." ”
This sentence is to reveal the relationship between Russell and Marlena to him, and it is also telling him that you will be your own person in the future.
The position of driver is not something that anyone can do, and those who can do it are absolute henchmen.
Now Felisto and Oriyatu, Nivino are on the same starting line.
And the three of them have a clear division of labor, one is in charge of the cigarette factory, one is in charge of food exports, and the other is in charge of the 'legion', and the responsibility of the legion is to deal with anything from the outside and only obey the orders of the godfather!
Sivena was very happy to see Russell return, she prepared a table of food, and went to boil hot water.
"I'm sorry, sir, I forgot something important."
"What's the matter?"
Sivena took a purse from the cupboard and placed it on the dining table.
"This is the wallet from Marlena, I didn't open it."
Russell opened his wallet and knew why Marlena hadn't been out of the room for days.
"Well, tomorrow I will personally invite Marlena to my house for dinner."
"Okay, I'll be ready."
Russell didn't have much to say about Marlena knowing the real cause of lawyer Ottoby's death, even if he explicitly told her that Ottobe was the one he had dispose of?
Marlena didn't want to go out of the room, just because she didn't want to face the residents' fingers.
The last time the dentist and his wife died, she also heard gossip, but she still indifferently passed by the busy street to her father's house.
And with Ottoby's death, the residents poured dirty water on Marlena again.
But this time it's a little different...
Next.
The sky is clear, autumn is in a few days, and the temperature in Sicily drops by a few degrees.
After lunch, Russell was drinking tea on the couch and reading the newspaper.
Felistto came.
He carried a wooden box and a basket of chocolates.
"Good afternoon, Godfather, this is a 1920 red wine, Nivino from Palermo."
"Nevino is very good at enjoying it."
Felisto scratched his head.
"Something?"
Felisto nodded and said solemnly: "Godfather, Nevino wants to drink with me tonight, and Oriyatu will be there, I ......"
Russell said, "Nevino wants to be close to you, so go ahead." ”
"But I'm going to drive you."
"I'm not going there today, if you're here, you'll disturb my good things."
Felisto opened his mouth, "Okay." ”
After he left, Russell glanced at the red wine, the label which read 1920 Masala.
This wine has a centuries-old history in Italy and is produced in western Sicily.
It's just that no one drinks it just out of the pot, because it's really hard to drink.
In fact, it is a blended wine, a hundred years ago, on the way to England, the merchant was afraid of the long distance and spoiled, so he mixed it with high-purity spirits, but did not expect that the British was very popular, and the fifty barrels of masala red wine were quickly sold out!
So the higher the vintage, the purer the taste.
"It seems that the wineries of Sicily are also a bit of a mess."
A few years later, after the end of the war, tobacco and alcohol were the most indispensable things in high society.
Russell got up and left the room with the sea view.
It's time to meet Marlena.
She should be in a hurry.
