The Buchzio family home.

Felix, a marginal member of the family, returned home very abruptly.

The relatives looked at his smiling and energetic face as if they had seen a ghost. In the past, Felix would always pour cold water at home, shouting loudly and turning the family upside down, and there would never be peace.

Especially when he quarreled with his father, he had to bring up the death of his cousin and third uncle every time, like stabbing his father's heart with a knife.

At this time, Felix sat on the sofa very gently, like a real lawyer.

He wears gold-rimmed glasses, crosses his legs and holds a cigarette, and a copy of the American Code sits on the table in front of him.

On the opposite side was his father Buchchio, flanked by the second uncle and his cousin, cousin and others.

When the family heard that he had returned with his wife and children, and had invited them home for dinner, they all came from all over New York.

Children run around in the courtyard and in the building, and women gather in the kitchen to clean up vegetables and meat and prepare a sumptuous dinner.

"Second uncle, this is a Sicilian brand mint flavored cigarette, the taste is very good, you can try it."

"Cousin, cousin...... Taste them all. In the evening, we drank Duke Black Pearl, and I heard that New York guests love this wine. ”

Old Butch frowned and pointed at him in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you come back?" ”

Felix smiled and said, "Father, I miss you so much, come back to see my family." ”

After saying this, everyone in the room was stunned, it was obvious that this kind of thing was not something Felix would say, he used to be disgusted by this fake family atmosphere, he said that this kind of false emotion would only make him sick.

At that time, Felix did not understand the good intentions of Butch Sr., and thought that his father was leading the family to the abyss.

Now that he understood, the godfather had gossiped with him more than once, and when it came to this topic, over time his very stubborn thinking quietly changed, and so his style of doing things changed.

"Felix, is this still my brother?" The cousin was surprised and walked over to take a closer look at his face.

“…… You've learned a lot from Mr. Corleone these days? ”

Butch Sr. asked, "Mr. Corleone, how are you doing?" ”

"Very good, the godfather is less than 30 years old, he must be in good health, and there is no trouble."

Old Butch breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Russell asked his son to come back to ask the Butchio family to do something unknown, it seemed that he was thinking too much about himself.

"Father, I put the three people who framed me in prison."

Old Butch nodded slowly: "I know about this." ”

"They're going to die tonight from heart disease and cerebral congestion."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned again.

They all looked sideways, obviously a little surprised by his words.

Especially his father, Butch Sr., originally Felix was very opposed to countering violence with violence, and wanted to use the weapon of law to defend authority and lead the family to the light.

But those who have been beaten know that American law is only a weapon of capital, not of civilians like theirs.

"You've surprised me, Felix."

The second uncle said: "In the past, you wouldn't do this kind of indiscriminate thing. ”

"To deal with your enemy is to swing your sword, cut off his sins, cut off his hands and feet, and throw him into the sea. Cruelty is not the goal, the purpose is to tell those who are waiting for the opportunity to move that we Buchchio family can't be messed with! ”

This was what Russell told Felix, and he took it to heart.

Old Butch laughed when he heard this.

"Good! This is Buccio's family! Felix, you are my son. I used to look at you as a shame because you were bullied by businessmen and didn't even dare to fart. Now that you are my pride, tell me what way out you have found in Mr. Corleone? ”

Felix smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "My father really knows me very well, and it is true that I have made a living with my godfather." ”

"Godfather's business is very clean, but there is only a lack of sales and sales staff, and I promise that Godfather will do it."

Old Butch nodded: "But we are all guilty of crimes, and Mr. Corleone will make his company stain if we let us do things." ”

Felix pointed to the Duke Black Pearl and said, "This wine is produced in Sicily, there are many of them in the White House, President Truman's residence, and there are many in the Hoover house of the FBI, and the regular guests of New York drink it." ”

Inside the house, everyone looked at each other and whispered about it.

Old Butch glanced at the second uncle, and the second uncle said, "How long has Mr. Corleone been in New York, and his connections are already all over the world?" ”

Although there are some doubts, it is highly likely to be true.

Some time ago, the New York guests lined up to go to the Peninsula Manor, and they still remember it vividly......

"Second uncle, everything is possible!"

"That's right, so what did Mr. Corleone tell you to do?"

Felix said: "I am currently a legal assistant at Kachimantha Shoes & Apparel. The godfather's assistant, Ancos, was engaged in import and export trade, and he was responsible for all parts of Europe, and there was no contact person in charge of the American port. ”

"Mr. Corleone chose us?" The second uncle was surprised.

"Yes, the Godfather thinks highly of us, because we were Connery's men and resisted Mussolini's tyranny, and although we failed, we survived."

Old Butch rubbed his chin, "I thought that Mr. Corleone was reluctant to meet me, because I was his father's assistant, and the new dynasty does not need the old minister's ......"

"No, the Godfather never forgot us."

Old Butch got up and patted Felix on the shoulder and said, "You have really grown, and your mind is not so stubborn." Since you have found a way out for the family, of course I want to support it, who of you oppose? ”

The second uncle smiled: "I have never been willing to let the children of the family follow our old path. There was no way before, but now that there is a way out, why not go? ”

"For the sake of the family, for the sake of the children!"

“……”

Everyone is making a statement.

Felix didn't expect to be so easy to convince his family, as the godfather told him, that as long as you find the right way, there is a solution to anything.

"May I see Mr. Corleone?"

Felix said: "The Godfather will be inviting everyone in our family to Peninsula Manor on Christmas Day. ”

"What?"

The crowd was shocked again.

Today, they had been surprised too many times, but this time they were particularly stunned.

What does the Buchzio family do? Everyone in New York City knows about it, and inviting them to Peninsula Manor doesn't it mean that Russell has been in the same league with them?!

"Don't worry, the Godfather has taken care of everything."

Such arrogance naturally has a plan for a long time, many people in the Buqio family have a eucalyptus bottom, and some people are locked up in prison, as long as the Buqio family does something for him, then the eucalyptus will be eliminated, and the people who are locked up will have their sentences appropriately reduced.

How to eliminate? Naturally, it is the old tradition to find a few scapegoats in prison or among wanted criminals.

Butch Sr. attached great importance to his visit to Russell Corleone, and he spent a lot of money on gifts and luxury goods, including a lot of gold jewelry for his three children, showing full respect.

As they drove to Peninsula Estate, two fatal events came to them.

--

On the 21st, Encos and Oriyatu went to Nevada and California respectively, one went to Hollywood, and the other went to Las Vegas to do two things.

On the 24th, in order to prepare for Christmas, Russell took Marlena to New York City to buy supplies for the holiday.

On the way home, Felisto sees that something is wrong.

It is a coastal road flanked by hay fields, and when you turn your head, you can see the statue of the goddess.

"Godfather, something is wrong."

Russell nodded, took Marlena in his arms, and said, "Keep driving, don't slow down." ”

"Okay."

Less than fifty meters ahead, six people came out of the one-meter-high grass at the fork in the road, armed with a Drew pistol, and fired wildly at the vehicle in which Russell was sitting.

Marlena was taken aback and exclaimed, "Attack! ”

"Don't be afraid, our car is equipped with thick steel plates."

Russell took her in his arms, pulled out his gun and fired two shots.

Felisto bent over and continued to drive, the body was equipped with rear steel plates to protect against bullets, but the glass was so thin and brittle that it shattered into slag with a single blow.

He took out a Thomson submachine gun from the passenger seat, looked up, and pointed the muzzle at the left front to pull the trigger.

The gunfire was deafening, and bullet casings were thrown inside the car.

The six people on the other side were pressed by the submachine guns and did not dare to raise their heads, so they could only lie on the grass.

Exclaimed: "Submachine guns! The message is wrong! ”

"Let's go! Walk! ”

"Let's go!"

Just as they were about to leave, Russell got up and pulled out the Colt M1911 through the gap, and fired five shots from the muzzle.

The bullet burst out of the wind and hit the heads of the five people directly, and the brains were splashed everywhere......

Felisto stopped the car and raised his hand to open the door, "Godfather, I'll go down!" ”

"Go."

Felisto bent down behind the car, looked ahead, and found all six of them lying on the ground, and he cautiously took two steps forward, changing magazines in the process.

Then he made up for the six people on the ground, and then walked over and rummaged through the corpses.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"Nothing, Godfather."

"Go home."

"Okay."

Marlena whispered, "The Christmas trees are all broken." ”

"I'll fix it for you tonight."

Marlena grabbed his arm and squeezed it, rolled her eyes and said, "If Victor cries because of this, you have to educate him." ”

"Yes, Victor is very sensible."

"You're so used to being a kid that he dares to throw sand into the barrel of a gun now."

"Barrel? Whose gun? ”

Felisto coughed lightly and said, "Godfather, the day before yesterday when I was wiping my gun, I was seen by Victor, because last time I kicked his block, this is revenge on me. ”

Russell frowned: "Wait until I go home and beat him!" Wild. ”

"Beat him hard! It's so naughty. Marlena added.

It can be seen from the atmosphere of the chat in the car that the three of them did not panic because of the attack, but were very calm, as if there was no such thing as an attack.

Marlena leaned into Russell's arms, because the glass was broken, and the strong wind would pour in when the car was moving, and it would blow a little cold.

Felisto took a pair of glasses and put them on, and drove the car to the manor.

"Godfather!"

"Godfather!"

As soon as the car drove into the manor, the subordinates saw the situation of the car and surrounded it.

Felisto got out of the car and said, "Move the trunk to the lobby, this car is disposed of." ”

"Yes!"

"Godfather is fine, don't worry. Do what you need to do! ”

"Yes!"

At the same time.

Vito was also attacked in the streets.

He was about to buy some Sicilian blood oranges, when he got out of the car when he saw two sneaky people coming straight for him.

Vito was about to run into the car, where his second son, Freddie, was occupied. But as soon as he ran to him, he was shot five times before he could pull the door.

Freddie heard the gunshots in the car and watched his father be attacked, so frightened that he couldn't even hold the gun steadily, and just opened the car door and the gun fell to the ground.

The two killers were supposed to be rookies, and they didn't see Freddie's gun fall to the ground, and after firing Vito five times, they were scared away by Freddie.

Vito fell at Freddy's feet, opened his eyes to his wasted son, and then closed his eyes.

When Freddie saw his father lying in a pool of blood, he grabbed his hair and cried in fright, and he didn't think about calling the emergency number at all, but the folks on the street worked together to get Vito to the hospital.

These folks have all been blessed by Vito.

Without them, Vito would have died, but lying in the hospital at the moment was just in a coma.

evening

Russell had just eaten dinner and was about to have some tea and set up the festival venue when he received a call from Sonny.

He briefly explained the attack on Vito on the phone.

"Now I can't contact Tom, my father's subordinates Clemenza and Tessio, I don't dare to contact them."

Sonny fears that Clemenza or Tessio have betrayed the family, as Vito and the family members are responsible for the safety of Clemenza.

"What do you mean by calling me?"

Sonny was stunned: "...... Russell, I ......"

"I'm kidding you, you can call me because you think of me as a friend, and your friend was also attacked on the coastal road two hours ago, and there were six people on the other side."

"What? You've been attacked too? Are there any injuries? ”

"No, the other party is dead, and there is no one alive."

"That ......"

Russell lit a cigarette and said, "Listen, Sonny. You first have to contact Kremenza, he can't betray your father, and then send your brother Freddy out, he can't stay, understand? ”

"Then who will be the inner ghost?"

"This is your family's business, and I can't be involved. But Uncle Vito had spoken to me on the phone, and he sent Luca to Florida, and then asked Pauly, the buttonman promoted by Clemenza, to go to the Tartaglia family to carry out the infiltration ......"

"Poly is a traitor!"

Russell laughed and said, "You have to learn to judge for yourself." ”

After hanging up the phone, Russell went to the courtyard, set up the Christmas in the courtyard, and hung many packages on it.

At this moment, Felisto hurried from outside.

"Godfather, Solaso is in a coffee hotel on the outskirts of the city, and Vito's godson Tom seems to be too."

Hearing this, Russell looked at the treetops in the distance with deep eyes, and said, "Aren't there any people from the Zhengfu?" ”
