177. I have only one godfather, Your Excellency Russell Corleone!

Nevada, USA.

Mike looked at the corpse of his wife, Apollonia, with a tired face, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

He never thought that he would suffer such a blow when he walked the bright road, and the completely unreasonable attack of his opponent made him appear very passive.

Apollonia's death sent Mike's heart to a freezing point, and he didn't know how to deal with his two children.

Remembering Anthony pointing at his head, he asked loudly, "Did you kill my mother?"

Mike was a little overwhelmed, how should he answer?

Yes or no, Apollonia is dead.

At that time, he was standing in front of the window, looking at the open curtains, and turned his head to ask his wife, who was standing to make the sheets, "What are you doing with the curtains open?"

Apollonia replied casually, "Didn't you open that?"

Mike was stunned and yelled, "Get down!"

Before Apollonia could react, gunshots rang out outside, and bullets rained down into the room, prostrate towards the bed the moment Mike lay down.

But Apollonia was too slow to react, perhaps frightened by Mike's shouting, so while she was stunned, five or six bullets entered her body.

Mike was dumbfounded, and after he crawled over, his wife happened to fall next to him, staring at him without even saying a word.

And now she was lying in the cold coffin, and Mike's son Anthony and daughter Mary stood beside her, weeping in grief.

Mike looked indifferently at the guests who had come to worship, and from time to time fixed his gaze on his wife's pale face.

His mother and Connie stood at the table with tears in their eyes, Freddie and his wife Diana seemed to be arguing, Freddie pulled her out of the hospital, and cursed Diana for being a ***, but was slapped by Diana, and then stepped on his high heels and walked away.

Freddie's face became gloomy when he saw this, and he turned his head to look inside the room, as if someone was watching him, which made Freddie's face even worse.

An old man with white hair came dressed in plain clothes, and when he walked to the coffin and saw his own daughter lying inside, his eyes turned red.

When Mike saw his father-in-law coming, he opened his mouth.

But he didn't know what to say or how to face his father-in-law.

Back then, when he went to Sicily to see the world, he was very high-spirited, not only boasting about Haikou in front of his father-in-law, but also persuading his father-in-law to marry Apollonia to him, and asking his father-in-law's family to come to the United States for development.

The father-in-law stared at him with red eyes, his grief was covered with anger, he pulled Mike's clothes, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "You said that you could give her happiness, you said that we would come to the United States to support your career, and we did so. Why is she lying here? You say!"

I can't explain all kinds of words, let alone explain Mike's heart at this time.

Eventually, he squeezed out a few words, "I... I'm sorry."

"Who killed my daughter?"

Mike shook his head, "It's investigating, but no clues have been found."

At this moment, Freddie walked into the house with a man who was Russell's subordinate Felistto and his assistant.

Felisto and his assistant first laid flowers, then shook hands with Mike as a sign of mourning.

The father-in-law was looking at Felisto, looking at Mike.

"I want to see the Godfather."

The father-in-law said seriously to Felisto in front of Mike.

Felistto frowned at Mike, then at his father-in-law, and asked, "Who is your godfather?"

"Lord Russell Corleone, I am a Sicilian, and there is only one godfather!"

Felisto nodded, "The Godfather will meet you, but not now."

"How long will it take?"

Felisto didn't answer, but pointed at Mike and said, "You should give him some time."

Mike listened to it very uncomfortable, it was his father-in-law...... In front of him, he openly said that he wanted to see the Sicilian godfather, which was like slapping him in the face in public

Target.

It's better to just slap him in the face.

"I told you, I'll take revenge!"

The father-in-law said with a cold face, "Revenge? You're a businessman."

"I've never forgotten my roots!"

When Felisto saw that his father-in-law was about to open his mouth to provoke, he put his arm on his shoulders and walked out, turned to Mike and said, "Mike, on the night you were attacked, people from our house were also there, but they didn't succeed."

Mike was stunned and quickly swept his gaze to everyone in the room.

This shows that Felisto's house did not have the enemy's internal response, but his home did...... And it's a loved one who can enter his room! The curtains of his room were drawn, providing a sight for the enemy.

Originally, Mike thought it was Russell, but he also suspected that it was Pantanjuli, and even suspected that it was the remnant of Tessio.

But he never doubted his closest relatives in the family......

The funeral was not over until Apollonia's coffin was buried in the earth.

Felisto spoke to his father-in-law and left.

Then the father-in-law came to Mike and said, "I'm going to take Anthony and Mary back to Sicily, the godfather has agreed, it's absolutely safe there. You can get your revenge to your heart's content, and I have only one request, and that is to kill all the people who killed Apollonia! Whoever it is."

Mike looked at his father-in-law's face and nodded slowly, "I promise."

"I warn you, you are a Sicilian."

"I know."

In fact, he did not understand the meaning of his father-in-law's admonition, because what his father-in-law meant was that you are Sicilian, and as long as you do not make absolute mistakes, the godfather will not deal with you.

Mike looked at the back of his father-in-law's departure, and his head was full of his father-in-law's words, the sentence: I am a Sicilian, and there is only one godfather, Lord Russell Corleone!

This name is his inner demon, and it is because of this that he derives the obsession of whitewashing. Seeing Russell's business in the United States booming, he also wanted to surpass without admitting defeat.

But the more you do it, the bigger the gap becomes......

A heart gradually became cold.

Three days later,

The Oliatus family, based in New York, flew to Las Vegas and moved into the Bell City estate under Felisto's arrangement.

At the same time, Mike flew from Las Vegas to New York, where he met Pantanjuli, who had spoken to him about things.

When he met Pantanjuli, he bluntly said that the Rosado brothers had bought off the family and killed his wife.

"You want to support me?"

"Of course! I can provide you with anything you need."

Pantanjuli nodded, "Okay."

After talking to him, Mike flew to Miami three hours later, as Hemen Ross, a supporter of the Rosado brothers, was here.

Mike had been kept in the dark before, and he didn't know that Hemmon Rose was a supporter of the Rosado brothers, because he was bent on whitewashing the family's property, and he didn't care about the gray industry in New York at all, and he didn't care about it.

This is different from the plot in the movie, in which Mike has experienced all kinds of things alone, and his mentality has matured a lot.

But at this time, due to the appearance of Russell, Mike's mentality collapsed slightly, and the mountain-like pressure was against him, so that he had no time to take care of New York, which caused an information gap.

Mike met with Hemon Ross in Miami, and he confessed that there was a traitor in his family, so he wanted to use the Cuban business to lure the traitor out for Vito's sake.

With a good face, Hemen Ross said, "Absolutely, I am very happy that you can come to me. I worked under your father, and your father helped me so much, and I am worried that I will not have the opportunity to repay him."

"When are we going to Cuba?"

"Don't worry, I need to make some arrangements."

"No problem, I'll be waiting for your call at any time."

--

London, United Kingdom.

July 3rd.

In another week, Victor will be in middle school

Graduated, as for Kachi and Mansha, they had a vacation yesterday.

Russell and Marlena are putting meat skewers on iron skewers as the family eats barbecue in the evening.

"Are we going to America on the second day of Victor's holiday?"

Russell shook his head: "You go back to Sicily, and I go to America."

"Something's wrong, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Marlena nodded, "Then be careful, I'll take care of the children."

"Now that Victor has grown up, he finally has the appearance of being an older brother, otherwise I really don't feel at ease if you take them alone."

"Yes, I didn't expect that Victor actually won the scholarship, and even the professors and the president praised him for his lively head and the beginning and end of his work."

Speaking of Victor, Marlena's face shows a smile of mother's love for her children.

Russell smiled, "Kachi and Mansa are not bad, their teacher said a lot of compliments when he visited his home a few days ago."

In fact, both Marlena and Russell know very well why teachers, principals, and professors praise their children, and it is not because of Russell Corleone's status as a free count?

He was a man who could come and go in and out of Buckingham Palace at will, and often drank with Prince Philip, and even with the chiefs of the general staff of the army, navy and air force.

Marlena also followed him to many banquet venues, and became famous in the circle of celebrities and nobles, and was known as the head of the nouveau riche.

Because most of the newly crowned nobles of Queen Yin Lizabeth have no background, and there are very few of them, it is reasonable that they are not treated by the old nobles, after all, the family history of the old nobles is a hundred years old, and they have only been a few years?

It was a little more during World War II, how can you rely on military merits to be knighted in peacetime? There is no other way than to take technology.

Don't look at the Corleone couple know it, but no one wants to admit that the professor and the principal praise the child based on their identity, who doesn't want to listen to good words? Even if it's a title of eminence? Have the ability to let your parents be the whole earl, and then listen to the praise of the professor and the president.

But listen to it, Russell and Malena didn't take it too seriously, just as a topic of conversation in their spare time, and about the children's education, the Corleones have always been of the same mind.

A week later, Victor graduated from high school.

Marlena returned to Sicily with the children.

Russell and Nelly went to Las Vegas, USA.

During this time, something happened in New York, when Mike found Pantancuri and Hemen Ross and stopped for two weeks when Pantancuri and the Rosado brothers met to negotiate.

In the tavern, he was strangled by the Rosado brothers with a tightrope, and the Rosado brothers also deliberately said in Pantancuri's ear: "Your Excellency Corleone greets you."

But at the critical moment, two patrolmen entered the tavern, and the Rosado brothers let him go and escaped.

Then Pantancuri was scared, and he thought it was Mike who wanted his life!

He consulted with Chichi and was willing to go to court as a tainted witness.

The target is Mike Corleone.

Its practical brain can think that there is something strange about this, but Pantanjuli is old, and his head is when it is rusty.

Michael knew that the defendant was a little confused after going to court, he didn't understand Pantanjuli's thinking, and he didn't expect that Hemen Ross would get out of the way, and at the same time, Mike also ignored Hemen Roth's determination to destroy his family.

Why? Just because he didn't agree to Cuban business?

Mike couldn't figure it out, but he had to deal with it.

"Tom, what are our chances of winning?"

"No chance of winning."

"What if Pantanguli is allowed to retract his confession?"

"If he retracts his confession, there will be no hearing."

Mike nodded, his eyes glancing at the phone in front of him, and he leaned down and raised his hand to pick up the microphone and dial a number.

But no one answered......

Mike put down the phone and said, "Do you think we can go to Sicily and ask Pantanguli's brother to come to America?"

"Yes, but it needs the Sicilian Sea

off the pass."

Mike picked up the phone again, and this time the other party answered.

"Who?"

"I'm Mike Corleone."

Bell City Manor, the phone is answered by Oriatu.

"Oh, what's the matter with you?"

"I want to send someone to Sicily to pick up someone."

Oriatu frowned: "I can't make the decision on this matter, you can't return to Sicily without the consent of the godfather, you need to tell the godfather in person."

"I called Russell, but no one answered."

"You're lucky that the godfather is on his way, and maybe you'll be able to hear the godfather when you call again in half an hour," Oriatu said.

"Okay, I'll call in half an hour, thank you."

"You're welcome, Mike."

Mike put down the phone and looked at Tom and Ranpo, very anxious.

The last person he wanted in his life was Russell!

And now, he must bow his head and ask Russell for help, or the family will be completely destroyed because of his decision.

"Is there any news from Hemen Rose?"

Lan Po shook his head, "Not yet."

"Until the traitor of the family is found, Hemen Ross can't move, and his subordinates, brothers Johnniola and Rosado, can't move."

[In view of the general environment,

Tom looked up and asked, "Mike, do you have any clues about the traitor?"

Mike looked up at the two of them and said, "At least you're not. Tom, the people I trust the most are the two of you, and I don't want you to get involved in the family business to leave a way......

In the study, which was only three people, Mike said a lot of inner words.

Tom and Ranpo were surprised, because Mike had never spoken to them before, just a man who insisted silently and then ordered his subordinates to do it.

"Now, I'm going to call the person I least want to meet."

Tom and Ranpo got up and left the study.

Mike picked up the phone and dialed it.

It didn't take long for the other party to connect.
