28. Marlena, you have a new job
Yes, Rand told Harms what had happened to him when he saw him.
Harms thought that this matter was completely led by Russell, and he and Congressman Hagen wanted to be closer to Russell, so they decided to give all the credit to Russell, leaving only Rand for the bandits, but this was enough for him to get a cross.
When the residents in the audience heard Russell so brave, they all looked up at him with very respectful eyes.
At the same time, someone discovered Russell's surname and whispered it in the audience.
"His surname is Corleone? Isn't he afraid of being caught and shot? ”
"Oh my God, Italy's government is so inclusive, even Corleone can be an Italian hero, and he can still pay so much attention."
"Calm analysis, since Mr. Corleone has been accepted by the government, what does it have to do with us?"
"Mr. Corleone also gave us peace, captured and killed the bandits who endangered the security of our town, he is a meritorious man!"
Naturally, there were Oriyatu and Nivino's subordinates in the crowd, and of course they had to speak for Russell, who was their godfather!
When Marlena heard of Russell's heroic deeds, she was a little excited, and she looked at him with admiration and great admiration.
When she heard the residents talking, she wanted to open her mouth to speak for Russell, but before she could speak, someone said it for her.
Then the inhabitants turned their guns on the dead mayor and cursed him viciously.
"Savartore colluded with bandits to endanger the town, the evidence is conclusive? Oh, my God! ”
"Is there still fairness in the town in his shadow?"
"He died so well, and Mr. Corleone killed him, so that the dentist and Ottobe would be blind."
"Savartore is a traitor!"
"I'd love to scatter his ashes in the Mediterranean Sea and let him have fun with those damned souls!"
"On weekdays, people look like dogs, but in fact they are wolf-hearted dogs!"
"I'm really blind, when I was elected mayor of the town, I would actually vote for him."
"Damn, I don't know how much money he's been greedy for all these years, it's all our money."
“……”
The residents in the audience talked endlessly, and every sentence was dirty, and there was no repetition.
The adjutant stepped down after his presentation, and the award ceremony followed.
As soon as Russell stepped onto the stage, the residents below cheered.
"Mr. Corleone! Thank you for saving the town. ”
"You have brought peace to the town!"
"The souls of Ottobi and the dentist couple can rest in peace."
“……”
Harms was very happy as he listened to the loud voices of Russell, all of whom supported Russell's words.
In front of everyone, he awarded Russell a bounty of 200,000 lire, and the cash was like a small mountain, which made the eyes of the residents in the audience brighten up by three points.
After the ceremony, it was time to invite Russell to speak.
As soon as he stood, the inhabitants fell silent.
"I am Russell Corleone, the security officer of the town of Castillo, and it is my duty to suppress the bandits, and it is also my duty to let the souls of the dentist couple and Ottobi who were killed by the bandits rest in peace."
"So, there's nothing to say, it's all what I'm supposed to do!"
The audience applauded.
The residents nodded slowly with serious faces.
It is said that Russell's pattern is big, no wonder he can be recognized by the government as an Italian hero, what does such a hero care about his surname.
With him, that's the town's honor.
Marlena also clapped hard in the corner, her eyes fixed on Russell, as if imprinted in her heart what he was now.
After the ceremony, the bodies of the bandits and Savartore were transported to the patrol station, where they will be dealt with later.
The residents also dispersed silently, but instead of going home, they gathered in groups to talk about Russell and insult the mayor.
What's more, he went to the mayor's house to take his wife to court, because the residents suspected that the mayor was greedy for the town's construction support!
But when they arrived, the building was already empty.
Russell naturally can't do things in a hurry, there must be a beginning and an end.
Next to the car, Rand said to him, "If there is a good thing like this next time, please call me." I will give you my full support! ”
"It's a deal."
Rand waved the medal in his hand and said, "With this medal, I will be able to go one step further in a while, and I may leave the town then, but I will apply to stay." ”
"No problem, I wish our friendship to last forever."
"Friendship lasts forever! I handled the misunderstanding in a straightforward way, which saved our friendship. Oh, what am I doing with this. Mr. Corleone, bring your dance partner to tomorrow night's ball! ”
"I hope your dance partner is more beautiful than mine."
"My dance partner will be the most dazzling in the audience!"
Rand said confidently.
--
After everyone left, Russell sat in the car to rest, and today he is the biggest beneficiary.
Originally, Harms also brought an unnamed mandate, but Russell did not sign it.
Why?
Of course, he didn't want to be the mayor of this already crumbling country.
However, there are still a few years left before the disintegration, and he can recommend someone to Harms as a puppet on the surface, but he has not yet found the right person.
The 200,000-lira bounty has seen the light of day, and Russell will be able to use it to buy a distillery with great fanfare, and with the support of Hams, the cigarette factory will be able to be put in the open.
"Dance partner? I have a good candidate. ”
Russell did not go back to the sea-view room to rest, but came to Marlena's house.
On the way, some residents met him and took off their hats to salute as a sign of respect.
It's a tribute to his contribution to the town.
He parked his car at the door, got out of the car and took out a pack of desserts from the car.
Just as she was about to knock on the door, Marlena pushed it open.
Not long after she got home, she heard the sound of cars outside and leaned down in front of the window to take a look.
Sure enough, it was Mr. Corleone, who was a little excited, and before he could knock on the door, he couldn't wait to open the door.
Although she seems very unreserved, Marlena has long been unable to bear that heart.
"Mr. Corleone!"
Russell stared at Marlena's face and smiled, "Hello, Marlena. ”
"Hello... Come in! ”
Russell stepped into the house and placed the dessert on the cupboard.
He spotted a folded suit on the ironing board and asked, "Is this my suit?" ”
"Yes, I... I've washed it, but I haven't had time to iron it yet. ”
"Thanks, Marlena. You don't have to do it yourself, you can give it to Sylvina and she will take care of it. ”
Marlena grabbed the corner of her dress and said, "I want to hand you the full suit." ”
"It's been so hard, Marlena."
"It's not hard, Mr. Corleone, and I'm grateful that you're giving me this job."
Russell smiled and said, "There is a better job, do you want to do it?" ”
Marlena blinked, curious, and asked, "What kind of job is that?" ”
