The business of this marital family was very large, and because of the support of the navy, they sent travelers directly from Catania to the Apennine Peninsula and Greece.

Of course, it's not just about picking up and dropping off passengers, they also use passenger liners to smuggle oil and make huge profits.

"Where does the oil come from?"

Felisto shook his head, "No trace, Godfather." But I think it's probably mined locally. ”

"All the people in their family have been checked?"

"Yes, not a single one."

Russell nodded and said, "You informed Oriatu that you can enter the port, and you are ready to do our trading business, so don't have a conflict with this marriage family first." We don't yet know what position they have in the Navy. ”

Colonel Dika said that it was a marriage, so one of the two parties must be a business and the other is positive. If both parties are businessmen, it is called a good match.

"Understood."

Port.

Oriyatu and his brothers enthusiastically loaded the ship with cotton clothes and quilts, which were stuffed with scrap copper and rotten iron from the barracks - munitions. Although the soldiers did not look down on it, it was a treasure transported to Tripoli.

This time, four ships were loaded and unloaded at the same time, because there were only four berths, and each time the four berths were stopped, a fee of 2,000 lire was required.

In addition to the captain, sailors, and maintenance engineers, each ship will be accompanied by twenty brothers.

The sudden influx of four large ships and so many people into the port naturally attracted the attention of some.

They talked a lot and exchanged words.

Some people even went to the marriage family to discuss countermeasures...

In fact, the two sides do not interfere with each other, and there is no point of conflict at all, but it is impossible to prevent some people from adding fuel to the fire and pointing fingers.

Oriyatu knew that these people didn't dare to make trouble, so he ignored it.

After filling the four ships, he hurriedly asked the remaining ships to come and load the supplies......

The voyage was to be divided into two parts, with six ships carrying supplies to Tunisia and two ships loaded with scrap metal and cotton clothes bound for Tripoli.

It is conservatively estimated that it can make a net profit of 3.6 million this time, which is the profit left after deducting the shares of Decca and the Navy.

After loading the ship, Oriatu set sail under the eyes of everyone.

After they set sail, two or three people found the home of Hogan, the man of the marrying family.

"Mr. Hogan, these countrymen are going to make a lot of money, and there are eight big ships and two small boats on one set sail, full of goods."

Hogan is the head of the man in the marriage family, and he has a straight face: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

"Of course it has nothing to do with you, but I heard that your son took the daughter of the navy, and they seem to be in a hurry to use the money, right?"

"Shut up! It's none of your business. ”

Hogan was a little angry.

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has the intention.

When the men left, Hogan called his son.

The father and son studied for a long time and finally decided to report the matter to the Navy.

--

Russell did not leave in a hurry, but walked around the shopping street.

I bought a women's mechanical watch, and a crystal pendant necklace, and prepared to go back and give it to Malena.

After all, he and Malena have been separated for several days, and they do have some worries. Because the two are in love, couples in this period are tired of each other, and they are unwilling to be separated for too long.

Buying gifts is to express how much you miss her, and the second is to show your attention and love for her.

Besides, he can't go back empty-handed, every time he goes to Marlena's house, he will bring something over, even if it's a box of desserts.

By evening, Russell was back in town.

didn't go to Marlena immediately, but first went back to the sea view room to take a bath, changed into a suit designed by Marlena herself, and then went to Marlena's house with a gift.

There must be a reason for such a delicate dress.

Before he left, Marlena blew into his ears and whispered, "I'm waiting for you to come back, and on the night you come back, I can dance with you once, and you taught me the veneer dance." ”

Veneer dance, as the name suggests, is face-to-face dancing.

But the dance that Russell taught her was not an ordinary veneer dance.

In reality, this dance is called 'Sand Dance'!

When I danced with Marlena before, I always accidentally rubbed into it, but this time I don't have to be too gentlemanly. Because of this kind of dance, dancing too gentlemanly is disrespectful to the sand dance and contempt for the dance partner.

The car stops.

Russell got out of the car with the gifts, and the old lady next door saw it and said hello.

"Mr. Corleone, you haven't been here these days, Marlena has been in the house and has never been out of the house."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Mrs. Marshall."

Now, the residents of the town are very aware of the relationship between Marlena and Russell, and although some people gossip behind their backs, they definitely don't dare to spread rumors and slander, let alone gather in public to talk about it.

Because a few days ago, two patrol officers with more than 10 people beat residents gossiping on the street with rubber sticks, and they were also imprisoned for disturbing public order. Although it was eventually released, the inhabitants lost hundreds of lira.

Then the cigarette factory also opened with great fanfare to recruit workers, and the target of this recruitment is completely for small town residents, poor households are given priority to hire, and those with more children are hired second.

The residents suddenly realized that the owner behind the cigarette factory was Mr. Corleone!

Reminiscent of the mayor of the town and Russell in the office, Ottoby was slapped by Russell in front of Marlena's house... For a while, cold sweat flowed!

It was also asked, why did the dentist couple also die? The residents just looked at each other, and no one dared to say what they were guessing in their hearts.

Isn't that simple? The dentist had been watching Marlena for a long time, and Mrs. Mano had abused her in public more than once.

And the time when these people died was just after Russell came to the town.

It's scary to think about!

Even if they do, what can they do?

Who would dare to report it?

Now the mayor of the town is Harvey, the director of the barracks is Rand, and Russell himself is the security officer in charge of the peace.

Besides, except for the well-off residents in the town, everyone else is doing things for Russell.

Either as a stevedore at the dock, or as a material collector, or as a car driver, or as a delivery man......

They all held the rice bowl given by Russell, and it was too late to thank Dade, so where did they dare to say anything?

Marlena heard a sound outside in the house, and hurriedly opened the corner of the curtain to look out.

Seeing Russell standing next to the car, she was so excited and excited that she wanted to rush out of the room and jump into Russell's arms and breathe in the smell of him.

But when she looked down and saw what she was wearing, she ran back to her room in frustration and hurriedly took out a black maple leaf dress from the closet and put it on.

The movements were very neat, and when she was about to turn around to open the door for Russell, she caught a pair of skin-colored suspenders stockings, and struggled inwardly for a second, and then grabbed the skin color... Black stockings next to it.

For on several occasions she remembered vividly that Mr. Corleone had said that he wanted to see her dressed in black.

Just as he was lifting it up his leg, there was a knock at the door.

Bells.

It's not loud, but it's resolute.

Malena was a little flustered and shouted urgently, "Wait! Wait! ”

Outside, Russell was stunned.

frowned and said, "Marlena, it's me." ”

"Mr. Corleone, wait, it's going to be okay right away... Here it comes..."
