Chapter 236: The Wind Rises
Mike Corleone looked complicated, annoyed, and remorseful.
Baroni looked at Sheng Tianbu's departing back and smiled knowingly.
The goal was achieved, and the Corleone family broke with Sheng Tianbu, the raptor who crossed the river.
Of course, if you don't break up, it's even more perfect.
In this way, the four major families can justifiably deal with the Corleone family, and he will eventually become the co-leader of the Newyork mafia!
The friendship between this guy Mike and Sheng Tianbu is too fragile to stand the test at all.
Baroni sighed softly.
After Sheng Tianbu left, Mike Corleone, the old godfather, Baroni, Immortal Joe and others were not idle, and quickly left the rooftop and moved to a safer place.
Next, it's time to discuss how to deal with this cross-river raptor.
ββ
An unexpected event was unexpected by everyone.
For Sheng Tianbu and Mike Corleone, the two did not expect the four major families to suddenly appear.
On the Corleone family's side, most of them were attacked by the other party again.
For the other four major families of the mafia, none of them expected that Sheng Tianbu would be so arrogant.
After Sheng Tianbu left, the five major families came to the 20th floor.
Mike Corleone's face was grim and he didn't say a word.
Across from him sat Baronny.
"Mike, I'm sorry to ruin your relationship with Sheng Tianbu, but in the Big Apple, eating alone is not allowed."
"I'm glad you chose us between Sheng Tianbu and us."
Mike Corleone slapped the table hard, glared at Baroni angrily, and said angrily, "Damn it! You think I care about this? β
"I've made it very clear."
"I'm angry, it's not that you came uninvited, it's that you are nailing my Corleone family again! Guys, do you have anything to say about this?! β
Baroni laughed secretly in his heart, he is still young in the end, even if you notice this kind of thing, you shouldn't expose it in public, just find out the inner ghost and execute it in private.
If Corleone was still in charge of Victor, he would never have made such a low-level mistake.
Countless thoughts flashed through Baroni's mind, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mike, this is not for your Corleone family, just business. β
Immortal Joe looked at Mike Corleone coldly, and said, "If you really want to talk, then we might as well talk about Little Barney first, Sheng Tianbu has already let Little Barney go, but Little Barney is still evaporating from the world, what do you say?" β
Mike Corleone stiffened his neck, his green tendons bulged, and roared unusually irritably: "Little Barney violated the Seven Commandments by kidnapping and killing people in private without permission!" β
"I didn't say I killed him, even if he was, so what?"
"Doesn't he deserve to die?!"
Immortal Qiao's face became more and more cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Now I'm not talking about whether he deserves to die or not, I just want to know if you did it!" β
"It's not!"
Mike Corleone roared justifiably: "Even if little Barney is released, he will be punished as he deserves, why should I add to it?" β
"Who are you and Mike Corleone? Your Excellency Joe Luches! β
The atmosphere of the scene was tense in an instant.
Baroni stood up in time and said, "Old Joe, little Barney has evaporated miserably, but Mike is right, he did something wrong and almost caused a bigger war. β
"Even if he returns, he deserves the punishment he deserves."
"The top priority is to solve Sheng Tianbu."
"If he wants to get rid of Old Joe and refuses to cooperate with us, then he will be a problem that has to be solved."
"If we don't get rid of him, once the news of tonight's incident gets out, then our five major families will lose face."
"What do you think?"
With that, Baroni glanced at Tartaglia.
The short bald Tataria immediately chimed in: "I think Your Excellency Baroni is right, our five major families must join forces. β
"If we really want to get rid of him, I'm afraid we will have to pay a very heavy price ourselves, as long as we beat him and let him see the strength of our five major families."
Gambinoha smiled and said, "I add that it would be better if he was willing to cooperate obediently in the end." β
The faces of Mike Corleone and Immortal Joe are still ugly.
Baroni had no choice but to name and say, "Old Joe, what do you say?" β
Immortal Qiao said in a sullen voice: "Since Your Excellency Baroni has said so, then work together to deal with Sheng Tianbu." β
Baroni looked at Mike Corleone again.
Mike Corleone crumpled the cigarette case in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree!" β
"But I have one request, that is, from now on, no one is allowed to think carefully about my Corleone family, otherwise there will be an all-out war!"
Baroni nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Of course, since the differences have disappeared, let's talk about business." β
At 11 o'clock, Baroni, Immortal Joe, Tataglia, and Gambino left with their own people.
After everyone left, only the Corleone family was left at the Helen Hotel.
The fat man Clemenza opened his mouth and said, "Mike, will we really join forces with them to deal with Sheng Tianbu next?" β
Mike Corleone exasperated, "Do we have any other choice?" β
Clemenza shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak again.
"Mike, is this appropriate?"
Tessio frowned and said, "If we really do this, then wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain." β
"Do you want to contact Sheng Tianbu privately? I think he'll understand us. β
Mike Corleone turned his head to look at Tessio, thought for two seconds, and shook his head, "No. You have too little contact with Sheng Tianbu, so you don't know who he is. β
"If we tear our faces with him in public, he will never think about cooperating with us again, and you should stop having illusions."
"This matter is settled, let's all go back and get ready to do things."
Tom Hagan, Clemenza, and Tessio said no more, said hello to the old godfather, and turned to leave.
In the room, only Mike Corleone and the old godfather remained.
As soon as everyone left, Mike Corleone's irritability vanished like an enraged bull.
He regained his composure and thought about it.
The old godfather came to Mike Corleone and shouted, but Mike Corleone was too engrossed to hear it.
"Mike!"
The old godfather gently patted his son's face.
Mike Corleone came back to his senses and said, "Father, what's wrong?" β
The old godfather asked, "What are you thinking?" β
"Nothing."
Michael Corleone shook his head and said, "Father, do you say that Clemenza, Tessio, and Tom are worthy of my trust?" β
The old godfather's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Tom is only my adopted son, he is no different from his own son, and he is absolutely trustworthy to me. β
"As for Clemenza and Tessio, they are half of my family."
"Without them, there would be no Corleone family now."
"But that's just my answer, not yours, you know what I mean?"
Mike Corleone nodded and said, "I understand, father." β
The old godfather said, "You reacted right, remember my words, and never let your enemies know what you are thinking." β
"And."
"Remind yourself that you never hate your enemies, because that will affect your judgment."
"As for your doubts just now, I am also very pleased, even if you are cautious about such a major event as the development of the family, it is not too cautious, but you must not reveal anything without conclusive evidence."
"That would be a fatal blow to the family, understand?"
Mike Corleone nodded and said, "I understand." β
The old godfather smiled with satisfaction: "I believe that you will take good care of your family, the Corleone family is just a name, and the family is always the most important." β
ββ
Escorted by bodyguards, Tessio arrived at a hotel in the city, leaving all the bodyguards under the hotel, and he entered the hotel alone, and then walked straight to the presidential suite.
He had barely opened the door when a familiar voice rang out: "Good evening, Tessio." β
In front of the windowsill, Baroni greeted Tessio with a glass of red wine and a smile.
Tessio immediately went in, closed the door with his hand, and said, "You have acted recklessly tonight. β
Baroni laughed, "It works, doesn't it?" β
Tessio muttered, "But he also noticed. β
Baroni was unimpressed and chuckled, "Of course he will notice, but what does it have to do with you?" You're not a ghost, we've just done some simple cooperation, which can't be called a betrayal. β
"Mike's performance tonight, as you can see, whether it is ability, means, or city government and concentration, it is far inferior to Victor."
"He's the best of the younger generation, but he's still too young."
Baroni looked at Tessio and said earnestly: "The era of the Corleone family has passed, and it is about to die, do you have to be buried with you?" β
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should always think about your wife and children, right?"
"I don't need you to do anything, I just need you to tell me something at the right time, and I'll do the rest."
"After the Corleone family disappears, I can guarantee that not only will your territory not be swallowed up, but will be much larger than it is now."
"Now that you have taken this step, you have to go to the end, otherwise what the consequences will be, you also understand."
"Of course I understand," said Tessio, "Your Excellency Baroni, you don't have to warn you. β
Tessio recounted the previous internal meeting of the Corleone family, saying, "I asked Mike tentatively, and he has made up his mind that he will definitely stand with us this time. β
"This is the Big Apple, how could he bet the fate of the Corleone family on Sheng Tianbu, the outsider?"
Baroni nodded and said, "That's true, but who knows if that guy Mike will go crazy and die?" β
"Next, you do what Mike tells you to do."
"Keep in touch with me at all times, to confirm whether Mike and Sheng Tianbu are acting, and notify me immediately if there is any situation."
Tessio shook his head and said, "Baroni, you're thinking too much!" β
Baroniha smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being careful, isn't it?" β
Tessio nodded and said, "Don't worry, if Mike and Sheng Tianbu are acting, then they will definitely contact again, I will know as soon as possible, and I will inform you as soon as possible." β
Baroni smiled and left satisfied.
ββ
There is a lot of talk in the Big Apple.
No one thought that Sheng Tianbu would be the opponent of the five major families.
In the past few days, Sheng Tianbu seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter and did what he had to do.
This is what death looks like in the eyes of the Jianghu people, and the agents in the Big Apple City think the same way.
After hearing about this, the senior FBI agent immediately got in touch with Sheng Tianbu, regretting that there was no conclusive evidence, and they couldn't do anything to those damn guys.
Compared to Sheng Tianbu, they really hate the mafia, and they wish to destroy those bastards humanely!
The person who contacted Sheng Tianbu was one of the leaders in charge of investigating the mafia in the Big Apple.
In addition, the FBI also repeatedly asked Sheng Tianbu if he needed 24-hour personal protection, but Sheng Tianbu refused.
For the lighthouse country, Sheng Tianbu, a foreigner, is too famous, and once something happens in the Big Apple, it will have an extremely bad impact, and it is for this reason that the FBI is so dedicated.
Kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the FBI agents were also annoyed, so they really started to be the shopkeeper and didn't care anymore.
In the past few days, in this series of changes, the killing machine has surrounded Sheng Tianbu, and the scope of his mediation has become smaller and smaller.
Faintly, it is full of the trend of the building will fall!
The first round of assassinations against Sheng Tianbu officially began.
The result naturally ended in failure, even if he was ambushed, Sheng Tianbu relied on the sense of the gun, and he could detect it at the first time.
Sniper rifles, pistols, these gadgets can't threaten Sheng Tianbu at all.
If you really want to pose a threat to Sheng Tianbu, you must use heavy firepower weapons such as machine guns, submachine guns, and AKs, and if you want to have a higher success rate, then use RPGs and gunships.
It's a pity that this is the Big Apple, AK, submachine guns can also be considered, RPGs, big pineapples, don't even think about it.
Times are different.
If it was still the twenties and thirties, it would be the era of the legendary Al Capone.
He was the first non-Sicilian-born mafia godfather and had killed 322 opponents in just 10 months, and his methods of taking out these opponents were unscrupulous.
Sniper Assassination, Pistol, Big Pineapple, Heavy Machine Gun, RPG...... What's the use of what.
Not now.
For the mafia, the days of the twenties and thirties, when they covered the sky with one hand, are over.
This also doomed their assassination attempt, which would never succeed.
Not to mention, Sheng Tianbu also has Mike Corleone, the highest-level internal response, everything that happens in front of him is just a show.
Since it's a play, you have to do it all.
Sheng Tianbu's counterattack also followed, and the zodiac showed transcendent strength and ambushed in a large flower shop run by Immortal Joe himself.
At that time, Luwan Cassel was by the side of the undead Joe.
In the end, Luwan Cassel, the military advisor of the Luches family, was killed, and the immortal Joe was shot in the shoulder and narrowly escaped.
Sheng Tianbu planned to kill Immortal Qiao directly, but he had a big life.
In this round of assassinations, the advantages of the undead Joe's native combat were fully displayed.
In Immortal Joe's territory, taxi drivers, bar waiters, hotel waiters, postmen, restaurant janitors, and even street homeless people are all in the service of Immortal Joe.
Once there is an emergency, they will report to the immortal Qiao as soon as possible.
This trick is also Al Capone's legacy!
Al Capone launched a 10-month purge campaign against the enemy, all thanks to his new invention - the G2 team!
This is a department responsible for collecting intelligence, conducting espionage and counter-espionage operations, to put it bluntly, it is an intelligence agency, which is the same as the intelligence team under Sheng Tianbu.
Previously, in the 12 zodiac signs, people like Aki, Feng Yuxiu and others did not take these people in their eyes at all, and felt that as long as they made their own moves, they would definitely be able to catch them and succeed in one fell swoop.
After this failure, they don't think so anymore.
They completely put away their contempt, and they also realized that local operations and non-local operations, with or without intelligence, are completely different concepts!
Although the assassination mission failed, Sheng Tianbu didn't pay attention to it at all, and was even happy to see this scene.
When the zodiac put away their contempt for the five major families, the five major families also put away their contempt for Sheng Tianbu.
Several assassinations, all of which were detected in advance by Sheng Tianbu, were simply incredible.
Then an unexpected thing happened, that guy Baroni actually took the initiative to send someone to contact Sheng Tianbu!
After that guy saw Sheng Tianbu's strength, he immediately changed his combat strategy and wanted to play a game of borrowing a knife to kill people.
Borrow Sheng Tianbu's knife and kill Mike Corleone!
The benefit that Sheng Tianbu will get is that the head of Immortal Joe and the Shengtian Group will develop peacefully in the Big Apple, and when Baroni takes the position, he promises that he will never trouble Sheng Tianbu.
Sheng Tianbu readily agreed.
ββ
In this unpredictable situation, half a month has passed.
Everything developed according to Sheng Tianbu and Mike Corleone's earlier plan, except for Baroni's accident.
This dispute is finally coming to an end.
Wall Street, Fortis Building.
Sheng Tianbu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, staring at this brilliant city.
Aki, Li Jie, Azu, and Feng Yuxiu had already dispatched half an hour ago, and they should be ready to do it now.
Sheng Tianbu sighed lightly and said, "This rain is really heavy, it is the most suitable for killing people and goods, Zovi, what do you think?" β
Zovi smiled: "Even if there is no such weather, what needs to be done still has to be done, anyway, they all have to die tonight." β
Sheng Tianbu smiled dumbly, turned to look at Zovi, and said, "You're right, they're going to do it soon, and we should also move to end this fight." β
"Let's go."
ββ
Lao Qiao's flower shop is very large, accounting for 40% of the Big Apple market.
This is a completely legal property, so Immortal Joe takes it very seriously.
Florist headquarters.
Immortal Joe and his eldest son, Sanchez, and four core members of the family are waiting for Mike Corleone and Baroni.
At this time, he didn't know that he had been sold by Mike Corleone and Baroni.
Whether it was Mike Corleone or Baroni, they all thought that they were the ones who provided this information, and they didn't know that the other party had reached a cooperation agreement with Sheng Tianbu.
"Father, we have to avenge Rwan! If we don't do Sheng Tianbu, everyone will look down on our Luches family! Sanchez said with a gloomy face.
Immortal Qiao's expression was very calm, and he said, "Don't worry, Sheng Tianbu will definitely die, but if he raises his hand to surrender, then he can't be moved." β
Sanchez's eyes widened, full of puzzlement.
Immortal Joe taught, "Don't let anger rule you, then you will lose the most basic judgment!" Why are we at war? And not for profit! β
"Sheng Tianbu is really willing to pay $1 billion to buy his own life, I dare to guarantee that the other four major families will definitely agree, and if we insist on going our own way at that time, we will die."
"Got it?"
Sanchez nodded and said in a muffled voice, "I understand father, but would that guy do that?" β
"Ninety percent of the time it's not."
Immortal Joe smiled.
At this moment, there was a spit outside: "Hell, this damn weather, I hate to rain to death!" β
Then there was a violent knock on the door, which was the voice of the fat man Clemenza.
Although Sheng Tianbu told Mike Corleone that in this situation, only his father could be trusted in the Corleone family, this was just to ensure that the two had a one-line connection.
In the following half month, after a careful investigation, Mike Corleone confirmed that Tom Hagan, Clemenza and the vast majority of others were fine.
Sheng Tianbu also reminded him that he needed to pay attention to Tessio.
After all the information was put together, Mike Corleone had basically determined who should use it and who should not.
Before tonight's action, he gave the order to Clemenza.
Clemenza was half shocked to death, covered in cold sweat.
Previously, Mike showed that he was going to put Sheng Tianbu to death, but it was all acting?
It was only then that Clemenza suddenly realized that the little guy he had grown up and hugged with his own eyes had become a big thing.
On the city government and wrists, it is no longer under the old godfather!
ββ
In the flower shop, Sanchez said, "Father, it's Clemenza!" β
Immortal Joe nodded and said, "Go open the door!" β
Sanchez answered, and immediately stepped forward, pulled the iron door of the flower shop open, and greeted Clemenza, who was wearing a hooded raincoat.
"Hello little Sanchez, this damn weather, it's raining too much."
Clemenza shook off the rain and walked into the flower shop.
"It's really boring."
Sanchez replied politely, and then said, "Mr. Clemenza, according to the rules, I need to search your body, I hope you don't mind." β
Clemenza laughed fatly, and said, "Of course I won't mind. β
With that, he had already raised his hands, very cooperative.
Sanchez smiled apologetically at Clemenza and began to search Clemenza from top to bottom, but Clemenza's eyes focused on several people in the room for the first time.
He quickly counted the number of people, and then laughed loudly: "Old Joe, plus little Sanchez, there are only 6 people in total, are you sure you can kill that damn Oriental boy?" β
This is naturally to send a message to Aki and Feng Yu Xiu outside to determine the number of enemies.
One of them said coldly: "Mr. Clemenza, do you think that the addition of our people together is not enough to deal with that Oriental boy?" β
Another human: "Mr. Clemenza, even if you don't believe us, you should always believe in yourself, right?" β
Immortal Joe didn't answer, his brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of ominousness appeared in his heart.
He didn't notice anything wrong, but the high alertness that he had cultivated over the years on the line of life and death could be said to be his sixth sense, or instinct.
Clemenzaha smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, take it easy, that Oriental boy will definitely die tonight." β
By this time, Sanchez had already bent down and touched Clemenza's legs.
His hand, moved!
A flash of cold light!
Immortal Joe's face changed drastically, his eyes were shining, and he roared sharply: "Sanchez, be careful!" β
Unfortunately, this reminder is too late.
Clemenza flashed to the side, his left hand suddenly reached out, grabbed Sanchez's head, and his right hand followed, and a small blade burst out of the air, slitting Sanchez's neck.
Blood erupted like a fountain in an instant.
Just as Clemenza was making his move, Aki and Feng Yuxiu jumped into the flower shop one after another.
Now the situation in the Big Apple City is extremely tense, and the five major families are also extremely vigilant, and any suspicious person entering their territory will be strictly investigated.
Relying on the zodiac signs alone, it is impossible to quietly get close to the leaders of the five major families.
How cautious are these guys?
As long as it is an Asian face, it is all the object of their vigilance, and during this time, because of the fear of Sheng Tianbu, many Asians have suffered unjustified disasters.
That's why they need Clemenza's help to cover.
With him, it's much simpler.
Aki was in front of him, and the only one appeared at the door, and the knife in his hand had already flown out, stabbing the throat of the person in front of him with precision.
Feng Yu Xiu is another style.
Aki flies, and he flies forward with a dagger in his hand almost close to the ground.
When Aki tackles one person, he kills as well.
There was chaos in the flower shop, and Immortal Joe had already reacted and understood that Mike Corleone had cooperated with Sheng Tianbu to wipe out their four major families!
It's not that he hasn't thought about this, it's just that they have driven nails into the Corleone family, and the information that those nails have fed back is that there is no such thing at all.
The fighting in the first half of the month also proves this.
But damn Mike Corleone, lied to everyone!
Immortal Joe shouted angrily, "Kill these two bastards!" They must be Sheng Tianbu's people!! β
In the previous assassinations, the 12 zodiac signs were wearing masks.
Not this time.
This is the first time that Immortal Qiao has seen the faces of Aki and Feng Yuxiu, but instinct has already told him that these two guys are Sheng Tianbu's people!
In front of the top masters, within seven steps, fists are faster than bullets!
Aki swung his dagger, and his killing move was like mercury, killing two people in the blink of an eye.
Feng Yuxiu cut a person's throat with a knife, and after he succeeded, he ignored it and threw himself directly at the immortal Qiao.
Immortal Joe draws his gun and shoots.
Feng Yuxiu's head was sideways, dodging the bullet, sneering at the immortal Qiao, following the cat's waist close to the immortal Qiao, the dagger swung with two knives, and cut the immortal Qiao's legs.
"Ahhhh Mike! Mike's crumbs!! β
Immortal Joe was full of anger and shouted viciously.
Feng Yu Xiu surrounded the immortal Joe, his body was like a spirit mink, and in the blink of an eye, he had already come behind the immortal Joe.
Feng Yu Xiu is only one meter sixty-two, and the immortal Qiao is tall and burly, and he is two meters long.
Feng Yuxiu exerted force with both feet, jumped over, and instantly jumped to the back of Immortal Joe.
His left hand turned into an eagle's claw, and the five fingers were like steel, scratching through Immortal Joe's cheek, leaving five bloody holes in his face!
The dagger in his right hand refracted a cold light, and in the next moment, it had already pierced through the neck of Immortal Joe, and slashed it!
Most of the immortal Joe's neck was slashed, and the blood was raging.
"Just your name is Immortal Joe?!"
Feng Yuxiu leaned in the ear of Immortal Qiao, sneered sarcastically, and then turned over and jumped down.
It's a pity that he speaks Cantonese, and Immortal Joe can't understand it at all.
Immortal Joe clutched his neck, glared at Clemenza not far away, and slowly fell down.
From the appearance of Aki and Feng Yuxiu to the end, it was only ten seconds before and after, and the entire killing was over, and the cold weapons were used, and the efficiency was really amazing.
Clemenza looked at Aki and Feng Yuxiu in amazement.
Now, he somewhat knew why the leader wanted to cooperate with Sheng Tianbu.
The other party is really strong.
Solving the immortal Joe, Clemenza immediately took Aki and Feng Yuxiu and left as fast as possible.
ββ
Gambino reclined comfortably in the barber's chair, enjoying the barber's shaving service, which was his old habit.
But before doing big things, he is used to taking care of himself cleanly.
The entire barbershop was full of Gambino's people, and there were 6 members on guard.
2 inside, 4 outside.
At the moment, they were chatting.
At this moment, the glass was shattered, as if a small stone had been thrown into it, but the two members of the store were shocked to change color.
Because that's not a stone, that's a pineapple!
The next moment, an explosion sounded, and the 2 bodyguards who had no time to react were blown up into a blur of flesh and blood.
At the same time, gunshots rang out!
After a round of shooting, the four bodyguards outside were also dealt with, and the scene was suddenly filled with gunsmoke.
Gambino was also affected by the blast.
Luckily, he wasn't killed, but just staggered to his feet, desperately embarrassed, trying to find out what had happened.
"Your Excellency Gambino, I have to say, your life is really big."
The voice came, it was the purest English.
Immediately after, the clown appeared.
Unlike Aki and Feng Yuxiu, Azu is a standard middle-class who has studied in Britain, and for people like him, English is completely pediatric for him.
Next to Azu stood Tom Hagen.
Gambino was in the stage of regaining consciousness, but the moment he saw Tom Hagen, he instantly understood.
"Damn it! Mike Corleone! How dare you betrayβ"
Just as he roared viciously, Azu's right hand stroked his waist like a lightning flash, pulled out the assembly gun, raised the muzzle, held the gun with both hands, and pulled the trigger.
Bullets whistled out of the chamber and appeared in Gambino's eyebrows!
The venomous roar came to an abrupt end, and the kinetic energy of the bullet brought a powerful impact, and Gambino's body was carried by his head, flew upside down, and fell heavily to the ground.
The two godfathers of Immortal Joe and Gambino have succeeded, and the one in charge of the coward in Tartaglia is Li Jie, who has the strongest comprehensive skills.
But he failed there.
The mission failed, not because of Li Jie's reduced ability, not because Tataria was stronger than Immortal Joe and Gambino, or because he was lucky, it was entirely because he was timid!
The guy realized that something was wrong, changed his itinerary directly, did nothing, and went to Baroni to meet up as soon as possible.
Li Jie was helpless.
He could only report the situation to Sheng Tianbu as soon as possible, and Sheng Tianbu was also helpless after hearing it.
"Leave him alone, since he's going to Baroni, let's send him and Baroni on the road."
When the few people completed the task, they left the scene as fast as they could, joined Sheng Tianbu, and rushed towards Baroni Manor.
The final end of this slaughter is there!
It's getting late, and the rainstorm is getting heavier.
When Sheng Tianbu started, Mike Corleone had also begun to plan!
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger.
He understands that.
But the preparations that should be done still have to be done, and in order to minimize the accident, he has already recruited the death squad from the Persian Gulf back to the Big Apple.
Barney Rose owes the old godfather a lot of favors.
The Corleone family is in trouble, and he can't stand idly by.
Before summoning the death squad to the Big Apple, Mike Corleone promised Barney Ross that at the end of this time, Barney Ross and their Corleone family owed no one.
In the future, if the Corleone family is in trouble, they will pay the corresponding honorarium, accept it or not, but it is voluntary.
Barney Rose readily agreed, and a mountain weighing on his heart was finally about to be removed.
He respects the old godfather very much, and he doesn't have a bad opinion of Mike Corleone, but he just hates the mafia and thinks that these guys are fleas parasitic on the people and sucking blood.
Inside the Baroni estate, the huge living room.
Baroni and Mike Corleone sat opposite each other, while Barney Rose, Christmas, Yin Yang and Gunner stood behind Mike Corleone.
"Mike, don't you believe me?"
Baroni was extremely relaxed, glanced at the death squad foursome, and joked with a smile: "We're not enemies now, but allies, aren't we?" β
"You don't have to be so protective of me, do you?"
Mike Corleone picked up his coffee, shook it slightly, and said, "Your Excellency Baroni, I think you should have misunderstood. β
"If I had been wary of you, I wouldn't have come here."
"This is your territory, if you want to do something to me, a few more people will not be able to keep me, what do you say?"
Baroni laughed, and that was indeed the case.
Michael Corleone then explained: "These people are all mercenaries, and I specially summoned them from the Persian Gulf, and Lord Baronny knows about this. β
"Sheng Tianbu is very powerful, and now His Excellency Baroni must also know that I summoned them back to ensure their own safety."
"They need to provide me with 24-hour close protection."
Baroni smiled and nodded, "Mike, I'm just kidding, you don't have to explain it so clearly." β
While laughing, a hook-nosed man hurried into the living room and whispered a few words in Baroni's ear.
Baroni's expression remained unchanged and said, "Let him in." β
The hook-nosed man turned away.
Mike Corleone said, "Lord Baronny, what happened? β
"Tartaglia is coming." Baroni smiled, "You know that guy is the most timid, come here." β
A moment later.
Tartaglia rushed into the living room in a hurry, his face and eyes full of panic, and shouted, "Baroni, Mike, it's not good! Sheng Tianbu has already killed Immortal Joe! β
Immortal Joe was the first to die, and when the news reached Tartaglia's ears, he hurried towards Baroni Manor.
At this time, he didn't know that not only the immortal Joe, but even Gambino had been done!
Hearing the news, Baroni and Mike Corleone both began to perform, both of them cooperated with Sheng Tianbu, and both thought that it was because of themselves that the immortal Joe would be killed.
Baroni's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "How could Sheng Tianbu know where Old Qiao was?" That's Old Joe's territory! How could he approach Old Joe quietly!? β
Mike Corleone also looked at Tartaglia with a solemn face, and asked, "Are you sure Old Joe is dead?" Still dead on your own turf? β
I have to say that both of them have superb acting skills, and Tartaglia was completely deceived by the two anyway.
He said eagerly: "Immortal Qiao must be dead, but how Sheng Tianbu did it still needs to be investigated!" β
"Damn, there must be ghosts around us!!"
As soon as these words came out, Mike Corleone and Baroni's faces changed slightly, and they looked at each other, and their eyes were scrutinizing.
In the cognition of the two, it was because of himself that Sheng Tianbu was able to successfully kill the immortal Joe.
Tataria panicked: "Damn, it can't be wrong!" Sheng Tianbu's power has infiltrated our five major families, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for Lao Qiao to be ambushed so easily in his own territory! What should we do now? β
Baroni said in a deep voice: "Calm down! The matter has not been investigated clearly, so what are you worried about? Mike, what do you think about this? β
Mike Corleone shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can't judge lightly without investigation." β
"If it is really Sheng Tianbu, as Tartaglia said, then in order to avoid the expansion of the war, we should choose peace talks."
"He has two purposes, one is Old Joe, and the other is to gain a foothold in the Lighthouse Country, the first purpose has been achieved, and only the second one remains."
"His strength is obvious to all, and we really don't need to provoke this kind of hard stubble."
"The best way to stop the war is to lose the least money."
I don't know if it's cold sweat or rain on Tataglia's head.
Hearing Mike Corleone's words, he hurriedly wiped it, immediately raised his right hand, and hurriedly said, "I agree!" We can't do that anymore! β
"What do you say, Lord Baroni?"
Baroni's face was cloudy, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Of course I think the same way, if there can be peace, who wants war?" β
"Then stop the assassination plan and send someone to send a message to Sheng Tianbu to express to him our willingness to make a truce."
"Find a few people of high moral integrity, preside over a peace talks, sign a truce agreement, and in the future, everyone will not interfere with river water."
Tartaglia nodded and said, "Yes, yes." β

At the same time, outside Baroni Manor, more than a dozen top killers are already in place.
Aki, Feng Yuxiu, Li Jie, Azu, this is Sheng Tianbu's people.
In addition to them, there are also 4 Corleone family killer soldiers such as Clemenza and Al Neli, and then 6 death squad members!
They're all in a hidden ambush, ready to do anything!
Mike Corleone gave them orders that when he was not directly commanding, they were all dominated by Sheng Tianbu.
Whatever Sheng Tianbu said, they did.
Soon, Sheng Tianbu, accompanied by Zovi, appeared at the gate of Baroni Manor.
The members of the Baroni family, who were in charge of the guard, were shocked and hurriedly ran in to report, and just as the guy went in to report, Tom Hagen came with Tessio.
Seeing Sheng Tianbu, Tom Hagen didn't react much, and Tessio, like those members of the Baroni family, was also shocked and his face changed greatly.
