34. The cause of death, it's almost Christmas

Harvey's expression was extremely sad, his eyes flowed, and he sobbed: "They said that you are seriously ill, let me come to see you for the last time, I ran out of the barracks in order to come to see you... Now, you want me dead..."

Harms ignored his son's crying and turned to Russell and said, "Mr. Corleone, I beg you to give me a chance, I am willing to do anything for you." ”

Russell frowned and turned his head to Harvey and said, "Do you want to live?" ”

Harvey cried and shook his head, "Let me die, I want to die." ”

"If you were to turn your army into a regular soldier, would you be willing?"

Harvey was stunned and ignorant: "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that if you give up your military rank and transfer to the main government to engage in civilian work, are you willing?"

Harvey nodded slowly: "Willing... But am I not going to die? ”

Russell smiled and said: "Your father Harms doesn't have a son like you at all, he has so many sons, it's not worse than you." It just so happens that I don't lack him as a councillor, and I can train him with my own hands..."

Harvey understood, turned his head to look at Harms, and said, "What about my father?" ”

"What do you say?"

Harvey shook his head frantically: "No, I can't do it." ”

Harms was a little confused, how could things have come to this?

It's just that his mouth has been gagged by Felisto's stinky socks, and he can only stare at Russell and Harvey with a frightened and incredulous face.

Russell didn't want to see them play the deep relationship between father and son, and it could be seen from Harvey's expression that he had already made a choice, but he didn't want to do it out of fame.

"Felisto, you teach him how to do it."

"Okay, Godfather."

Russell asked Oriyatu to send money to Rand and Harms, and there were two of them. One is to see how big their appetite is, whether they are greedy or not. The second is to win over the two and recommend a new mayor for the town.

But I didn't expect that the greedy Harms would take away Russell's foundation and women, which is simply wishful thinking!

Now, Russell has changed his plan to make Harvey the mayor of the town, and then promote an inductive councillor from among the mayors of the surrounding towns.

Don't doubt Russell's ability, he just needs to send Hagen a little more money and things will be done.

Don't worry about Harvey's betrayal, he has a handle in his hand that is enough to kill his entire family.

Two days later, news of Hams' death spread.

The cause of death was a heart attack, and due to the driver's error, Harms was not effectively treated.

Harvey, the eldest son who was rushed in, in a fit of rage, pulled out a gun and killed the driver.

Because Harvey left the barracks without permission and violated military regulations, he was sent to the main mansion and went to a remote town to serve as the mayor.

Harms' funeral was in Avola, not far from the town of Casticuto, and Russell and Rand both rushed to attend, bringing condolences from the Hagen councillor.

Harms' wife is heartbroken, she is not Harvey's biological mother, but a second stepmother.

Harvey didn't have much affection for her, but out of politeness, Russell also had to greet her for a while.

Before leaving.

Rand and Russell chatted under the tree.

"Mr. Corleone, the Hagen Councillor expresses its deep condolences on the passing of Harms. But it also deprived him of a trusted ally. Councillor Hagen thinks that your proposal to open a distillery is not a problem, but a question of the quality of the wine. ”

What a lost trusted ally, that's an excuse for blackmail.

Russell replied: "If my winery is not of good quality, then I will not sell it under the banner of Sicily, which is a complete insult to my hometown." Let the Hagen parliamentarians relax, the distillery's profit is still 20% of his. ”

Rand frowned.

"The relief money of 300,000 lire will be sent in a few days. Tell Councillor Hagen that Harvey is an honest boy and he can't sit in the mayor's seat for too long. ”

Rand furrowed his brows, "Okay, I'll tell you." Say a lot of words, you've done a great job. ”

Russell stopped him and said, "Major Rand, oh no, Lieutenant Colonel! I guess your stuff fell in the trunk of my car, let your lieutenant come and take it. ”

He has been officially promoted to the rank of regional armament officer, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

"Hahaha, okay."

Rand laughed and left.

Russell got into the car, and Oliartu got out of the car, opened the trunk, and handed the things to Rand's lieutenant.

The adjutant took it back and handed it to Rand, and when he opened it, it was actually 120,000 miles in cash!

In addition, the 80,000 that Russell gave him a few days ago happened to be the 200,000 bounty for killing Giriano.

Rand was very happy, knowing that the money was given by Russell as a thank you for the reminder.

--

Back to town.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Felisto and Nivino were waiting in the room with a sea view, and when they saw him come back, they got up to say hello.

Russell invited them to sit, and Sevina habitually offered black tea.

Tilting his legs to light his cigar, he asked, "How's the winery talking?" ”

"In the end, the owner of the winery sold it for 200,000 lire in cash and 50,000 in gold."

Nevino nodded.

He and Felisto went to talk about the winery, and the owner was an old stubborn and idealistic man, and he had to carry the winery forward. Felisto pointed a gun to the head and signed a contract.

"Boss, cash and gold go to the cigarette factory accounts."

Russell nodded and said, "Did you find the winemaker?" ”

"Godfather, a good winemaker is in France, and the traditional brewers in Sicily are too rigid to lose their reputation for a new recipe."

"That's because he's too full, and Oriyatu is looking for an apprentice who can teach him how to make blended wine, and blended wine is the future!"

Oriatu responded, "Okay, Godfather. How many do you need? ”

"Let's find three first."

"Yes."

"It's almost Christmas, so Nevino prepares some gifts and I take the time to give them to families living in poverty. Prepare some cash, hand it out to the workers, and give it to you and Oriyatu to discuss. ”

"Yes!"

Recently, Russell and Marlena are in love.

On weekdays, he would always go to Marlena with gifts, and then the two of them would taste the food, drink high-end red wine, and dance in the room to the music.

Both of them enjoyed their time together, and like many couples, they played pranks or provoked wars in their private spaces.

Obviously, none of them are convinced.

Marlena's relationship with her father has also eased.

The reason was that her father knew that Marlena had followed Russell, and he agreed very much, and even a neighbor went to her father's house to whisper, telling all Russell's deeds, and saying that Marlena had an affair with more than a dozen men in the town, which was a rumor!

Her father came to his senses and wrote a letter of apology for Marlena.

Note that this is an apology letter, not an apology letter.

The letter of apology to Marlena can be summed up in just one sentence: 'My father has a bad attitude towards you because he believed the wrong rumors of others. ’

In addition to this sentence, the rest of the words are to ask how she and Russell get along, and if she feels wronged, put up with it......

When Russell saw the contents of the letter, he was speechless.

He knew that most of the townspeople were bad, but he didn't expect even Marlena's father to be so confused!
