February 18, 1958.

The Oriyatus, who live at The Peninsula Estate in New York, were shot while on their way to the mall, but fortunately they were not injured and all three gunmen were killed.

The attackers were members of a new gang in New York, all of whom were not very old and had very immature methods.

Instead of finding out the truth right away, Oriyatu reported it to Russell first, fearing that he would sabotage the Godfather's plan.

When Russell learned the news, he scolded Oriyatu, and Russell never showed mercy on things that had threatened the lives of his subordinates.

"You're going to get to the bottom of it, and if you can't figure out why, then you're going to stay in New York forever!" 】

Oriato knew that the Godfather was a little angry because he had delayed the best time to get to the truth about Sonny Corleone's death.

After figuring it out, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to investigate the attacker's gang, as well as the scope of activities and the behind-the-scenes managers.

The fact that he was attacked must have something to do with Sonny's death, why?

Just because he stayed in New York all these years for this matter, the secret enemy must have clearly come for him, so he made a choice at this time.

Ever since Russell messed up the plot of The Godfather, everything has become confusing.

However, he knew so many people, and the scope of suspicion was narrowed.

For example, an old man who lives in Miami, Florida, is full of illness.

But Hemen Ross is a character no matter what he says, and he won't pull his face down to trouble Oryatu, even if he finds something. If Haimen wants revenge, he should go to England to find trouble with Russell, so it is reasonable.

So the murderer must be someone else!

And Mike Corleone has rarely been back to New York since he settled in Nevada, because the Las Vegas mess has trapped Mike.

In the past two years, two major casinos in Las Vegas have closed, but Mack's casino has not yet opened.

Nevada regulars used gambling cards as bargaining chips, and some lawmakers had contact with Mike, but the asking price was too high, leaving Mike speechless.

The other day, Mike received news from New York that Claim had passed away due to illness.

He didn't make it to New York for the funeral because his son Anthony was about to be baptized, and on that day Mack's estate was filled with hundreds of people, all Nevada celebrities and guests, as well as family members.

There were police officers acting as security guards on the perimeter, and a councillor named Gray was speaking on stage, thanking Mike Corleone for his donation to the community school and calling him an ambassador for charity.

When Councilor Grey walked into Mike's study, the conversation between the two was unpleasant.

"$200,000 to get a license."

Mike frowned, "Its normal price is $10,000." ”

"Do you want it? The license is in my hands, you can give as much as I want, understand? ”

Mike smiled and said, "I don't think it's worth anything." ”

The two parted unhappily, and Councillor Gray left in a rage.

In the study, Mike also frowned.

"Originally, I thought that the gang had been blackened with ink, but I didn't expect that these regulars were the bottomless pit of darkness and no light!"

Tom asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Find his handle and hold it to death!"

"But he once visited Russell Corleone."

Hearing this, Mike slowly turned his head and said, "I don't care who he has visited, I only care if he offends me!" Tom, you're just a lawyer, handle the legal issues of the company well. ”

Tom was speechless, packed his bag and left.

Mike was the only one left in the study, staring at the ceiling and smoking a Sicilian cigarette.

The Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas was like a mountain in his heart, weighing him down.

Russell became Mike's insurmountable demon, comparing the object......

But as he got in touch with more and more, he felt more and more powerless, because Russell's strength in the United States was too strong, controlling some of the three states, and even the FBI helped him do things.

While Mike was distressed, his bodyguard, Rocco Lampo, walked in.

"Godfather, something happened in New York."

"What's the matter?"

"Russell Corleone arranged for the people in New York, Oriyatu was attacked in the middle of the road. None of the three attackers survived, but they were members of a new gang in New York that worked for Clemenza. ”

Mike was stunned when he heard this, "Klemen stabbed ...... dead"

"Yes, Kremenza's successor, Pantanjuli, and his subordinate Chichi are at the feast."

Mike got up and looked out the window, where he saw Pantanguli singing and dancing on stage, directing the band to play Sicilian songs, but the band apparently did not understand Sicilian songs, and played him into an American symphony.

"When did Pantanguri come to Nevada?"

Lan Po said: "Last night. ”

"When was Oriyatu attacked?"

"Last night."

Mike glanced at Lan Po and was slightly silent.

If the attack on Oriyatu was really done by Pantanjuli, then did he come to Nevada to seek asylum?

So why did he attack Russell's subordinates?

Not afraid of offending the Sicilian godfather?!

"Get him and Chichi."

"Yes."

Lan Po reminded, "Godfather, you haven't seen Connie yet. ”

"Arrange her meeting at the end of the banquet."

When Rampo found Pantanguli and Chichi, they were talking in a whisper, and he was a little excited to hear that the godfather was going to see them immediately.

Den.

Pantancuri took off his hat and saluted.

Mike didn't greet him, and asked bluntly: "Russell's subordinate Oriyatu was shot, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

"What?"

Pantanjuli was surprised.

Next to him, Chichi was also at a loss.

Seeing the expressions of the two, they knew that they were not pretending, and they really didn't know anything about it.

In the 30s of the 20th century, Frank Pantanguli was the most powerful Marpolisa family in New York, and in 1934, the Corleone and Maporissa families fought for supremacy in the New York underworld, and the two families broke out in the 'olive oil war'.

And Pantanguli admired Vito's personality very much, so he secretly provided information to the Corleone family, and finally assisted the Corleone family to achieve victory.

Since then, Pantanguli has been working under Kremenza. Later, after Mack's family moved west to Nevada, the New York family business was handed over to Clemenza, so that the 'New York Branch' was also known as the Clemenza family.

But on major matters, Klemenza still has to ask Mike's opinion, and he is not completely independent.

And Klemenza's ascension also meant that Tessio lost power, and he was arranged to retire in Long Beach......

Mike inquired about Pantanguri's intentions, and he immediately explained the situation, wanting Mike to make the decision for him.

The reason is that before Clemenza's death, he promised to give his subordinates the 'Rosado Brothers' three pieces of land in the Bronx, but Pantanjuli believed that Clemenza's death was due to the cat, so after he inherited the New York branch, he refused to fulfill Clemenza's previous promise to the Rosado brothers.

Therefore, Pantangeli came to Nevada to get justice, and to get rid of the Rosado brothers!

Mike sat down in his chair and coldly rejected his unreasonable request.

"Frank, you shouldn't be angry when you are suspicious. The cause of Kremenza's death should be referred to the forensic ......"

Pantanjuli hurriedly said: "Godfather, but we are black hands......"

"Shut up! We were, but at least not now! Do you understand? We are businessmen, and the essence of businessmen is profit, talking about money. All actions have to talk about money! ”

Pantanjuli kept his mouth shut, and Mike noticed his gaffe, so he comforted them and sent them away.

Lan Po sent the two out, turned around and walked back.

Mike looked up at him and asked, "Where's Tessio?" ”

"Long Beach."

"Keep an eye on Tessio, and if he makes any changes, hand the news to Oriatu!"

Lan Po was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean that Tessio attacked Oriatu?" ”

The Rosado brothers worked under Ctesio, and when Cessio went to Long Beach to retire, the Rosado brothers came under the management of Clemenza.

"If Clemenza did not die of illness, but for another reason, then it must have been done by Tessio!"

Mike's analysis has a reason, in fact, he has not taken his eyes off New York in recent years.

Because the death of his brother Sonny is very strange, as well as the incident of the underground black factory in New York, it shows that there is a big hand enveloping New York waiting for an opportunity.

Mike also wants to avenge Sonny, so he has been sending people to investigate, although he has found some clues, but he is busy laundering in Nevada and does not take action immediately.

But not anymore, because Mike knew very well about the shooting of Oriattle, and Russell would not give up.

I have to give him an explanation!

And Russell, who was far away in London, England, didn't want Mike to give him any explanation.

That's all empty talk.

In a short period of time, Oriyatu was able to identify the attackers and report his suspicions.

"Godfather, I suspect that the supporters of the raider gang are Tessio, and his former subordinates, the Rosado brothers, are the de facto managers of this new gang."

Russell frowned and said, "Is Tessio not dead?" ”

"Yes, he lives in Long Beach."

"Oriyatu, your identity in the United States is a little sensitive, and there are some things that you don't need to do yourself, understand?"

"Understood! I'll let him know the rules of Sicily! ”

"Go ahead and I'll say hello to New York."

"Okay."

When Oriatu hung up, he gathered his subordinates, most of whom were from Sicily, and some of them were in their fifties.

He sketched out a plan and then asked if anyone was willing to carry it out.

Immediately, three people stood up.

"My children live very well in Sicily and I don't have any worries."

"If I live, I want to go back to Sicily, and if I die, I want to be buried in Sicily."

Oriatu nodded: "I promise, and the godfather will agree, these are all as they should be." ”

A few days later.

A villa in Boracay, Nassau County, not far from New York City.

A car pulled up at the door, and immediately three men in trench coats, armed with Thomson submachine guns and grenades, came down.

When they got out of the car, they rushed into the courtyard, and when they saw someone, they opened fire, throwing five grenades into the villa in succession, and then kicked them into the house.

When he came to a bedroom, he saw the gray-haired Tessio, and one of them pulled out a bracelet and threw it on the bed where Tessio was lying.

"Dear Godfather of Sicily, greetings to Your Excellency Corleone!"

With a violent explosion, Tessio's life was baptized......

The trio then rushed out of the villa and fled the scene in a car.

When Oliyatu learned of Tessio's death, he radioed the ferry and asked about the trio.

Sadly, one person was shot in the leg and died in the car, while the other two were safely boarded on the ship for Sicily.

When Russell heard the news, he sighed and said, "Properly arrange the family of the deceased brother and let them move to Catania to live, so as to give the children the best educational environment." ”

"Okay."

After hanging up, Russell sat in his study, smoked a cigarette, and made a call to Las Vegas.

"Felisto, you send someone to tell Mike that the matter has been taken care of for him, and ask him not to be polite."

"Yes."

When Mike learns that Tessio has been killed in a bombing at Long Beach Villa, he becomes very angry.

But after Russell sent someone to remind him, he calmed down.

Tessio was killed by a grenade, the FBI would inevitably intervene, and the cause of New York would definitely be hit at that time.

Sure enough, on the third day after Tessio's death, the FBI and the New York Police Department launched a crime-fighting operation, arresting a large number of various gang members in New York.

Underground casinos and other gray places are all closed, and no one dares to defy the wind during this period.

After the various families and gangs inquired about the reason, they locked their hateful eyes on the Corleone family.

Pantanjuli called several times to shout grievances, and almost pointed at Mike's nose and said: I'm dead!

Max thought about it and took the initiative to call Russell.

"Russell, I'm Mike."

"Oh, I know you, Godfather Mack."

Mike listened to his words a little harshly, as if he was mocking him.

"Don't taunt me, I'm here to apologize."

Russell smoked a cigar and laughed, "Apologies? Do you need to apologize? Didn't you give up New York and go to Nevada to do a tax-paying business? ”

Mike took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "I'm really here to apologize, I didn't expect Tessio to ......"

"No, you figured it out. Mike, you ask yourself inside and you must have thought of it, but you didn't deal with him. Why? You want to use Tessio to get me in trouble. But you didn't expect him to die so miserably, did you? ”

Mike was a little silent, he didn't know how to answer, because that's what he thought.

Over the years, he was dissatisfied, jealous, envious, and fearful...... Russell Corleone's name is his dream demon, and whenever he sleeps, he hears the words of his father Vito.

"Don't go against Russell, he's not only ruthless, he's strong! He is the Godfather of Sicily, the Godfather of the Mafia all over the world......"

Mike doesn't admit that he's worse than Russell, and he thinks he's capable of making a difference.

But when it comes to doing it, it's extremely difficult.

How do you go down this path?
