Chapter 316 [The storm is coming and the wind fills the building]
In the evening, when the last ray of sunset disappeared from the horizon, the Gambino family manor fell into a heart-pounding quiet. Under the gray sky, the neon lights of the entire manor lit up, and the soft light fell on every corner of the manor, making the manor exude a strange atmosphere.
As usual, Villa No. 1 of the manor was the first to light up the light, and the room with the light up the study of Villa No. 1.
In the past period of time, Edward Gambino spent more time in the study than in other places. To be exaggerated, he spent all his time in the study except eating and sleeping.
He passed on secret orders from the study, some were conveyed by Androv, while others were conveyed by his confidant secrets, and no one knew who they had conveyed them specifically.
It is only a month since the anti-gang operation ended, which means that the decisive battle of the Mafia Committee is about to begin. In the past period of time, the Gambino family has gained an absolute advantage in the economic war with its profound background and strength. Although the camp of the Luches family has struggled to persevere for so long and has no sign of collapse, its vitality has been severely damaged and its income has dropped sharply.
However, both Edward and the patriarch of the Luches family knew very well that this soft power showdown would continue until the decisive battle began!
In the study room of Villa No. 1, Gambino Family Manor, Old Man Edward sat on a wooden chair like an old monk, holding a cigar, quietly looking at the documents in his hand. The documents were drafted by Androv, who collected some of the processes and results of the secret battle between the two sides in recent days and handed them to Edward in the form of documents.
I don’t know how long it took, but after Old Edward browsed the file roughly, a slightly tired smile appeared on his face: “Annie, thank you for your hard work in recent times.”
"I'm not tired, father." Androv shook his head gently: "You should have a good rest for a few days."
Obviously, Androv knew very well that the soft power showdown could no longer be decided. Continuing to continue now is just to continue to put pressure on the Luches family. What really determines whether this coup will succeed is the final decisive battle.
"Johnson hasn't sneaked out recently, right?" Edward changed the subject, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed than before.
When Androv heard his brother's name, her face looked a little ugly. She shook her head: "No. But... he doesn't care about family affairs at all, and drinks and has fun every day..."
"It's rare for him to stay in the manor honestly." Edward said, looking at Androv with a meaningful look: "Anne, you're actually a little prejudiced to Johnson. He's an excellent guy, and I always think so."
Edward's favoritism made Androv a little helpless. In her opinion, if Edward hadn't been too favoritism over the years, Johnson would not have become a famous playboy, and the burden of the entire family would not have been on her and her father.
"Okay, it's getting late. You call Johnson to come over and have dinner together." Edward seemed to notice Androv's thoughts inside, and a smile appeared on his face.
Half an hour later, Johnson arrived at the restaurant of Villa No. 1. As usual, he was wearing a gorgeous dress, his hair was meticulously combed, and his face was charming with a signature smile.
"Do you don't have any idea of time?" Androv was a little annoyed when he saw Johnson. She and Edward waited for Johnson in the restaurant for nearly fifteen minutes.
Johnson was not angry at Androv's anger, but showed a slightly apologetic smile: "My dear sister, you know that no matter where I go to eat, I will pay attention to my appearance. It takes time to wear clothes and do my hairstyle. Well, this time I specially speeded up."
As he said that, Johnson turned his head and smiled at Edward. There was no too much restraint in his smile. There was only respect, the kind of respect that was unique to the nobles: "Dear Father, you don't look very good. You need a good rest and leave the things in your hand to my dear sister to handle. She can complete any tasks you assigned."
"Dear Johnson, are you interested in helping me share some of it with your sister?" Edward asked with a smile.
Johnson immediately shook his head: "Oh, no, my dear father, you know that I am not interested in these things and do not have much experience. Of course, if you need to develop a network of relationships and let me conquer the daughter or beautiful young woman of a certain family, I will agree without hesitation."
Johnson's words made Androv tremble all over. God knew that this boy from Tiansha still had the heart to joke at this time. In comparison, Edward looked indifferent. He waved his hand and signaled Johnson to sit down and have a meal.
...
While Edward's family was having a meal, Muse Luches, the contemporary patriarch of the Luches family, seemed to be in a good mood. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable because the Luches family was at a disadvantage, but on the contrary, he asked several subordinates to play a golf game with him in the afternoon.
Of course, this matter has not spread, otherwise the mafia families standing in the Luches family would probably go crazy!
As the contemporary patriarch of the Luches family, Muse is not as famous as Edward in the Mafia and underground society across the United States, but it is second only to Edward, which is just like the Luches family that is second only to the Gambino family.
The Muse, who was over fifty, showed no sign of aging. He still looked so young and full of fighting spirit. His eyes, which were as bright as sapphire blue, seemed to be full of confidence at all times.
confidence.
This is the greatest feature of the Muse, and those who know the Muse will admit it without any slightest taboo, and they also think it is the greatest advantage of the Muse, although sometimes the Muse's confidence is a bit blind.
Unlike the confidence of old Edward who controls everything, Muse's confidence comes from his personality. He is a natural optimist and will always maintain confidence, but he has never transformed confidence into narcissism and arrogance.
Perhaps…this is where Muse is better than those who are blindly confident.
In addition to self-confidence, the Muse also has one characteristic: love to be clean.
This seems to be somewhat similar to that of Johnson, but Muse just likes to be clean and does not restrain himself with aristocratic etiquette.
And because of his hobby of cleanliness, all the women he has are virgins.
Without exception.
Because... he always felt that if the woman he was on was a second-hand product, it would be ruining his own body and defiling his soul!
After the golf match, the Muse first asked two twin sisters who had bought from Ukraine to bathe him, and then went to the restaurant to ask two girls waiters who bought from Spain to feed him some food.
After filling his stomach, Muse came to the study with satisfaction, and his confidant subordinates had been waiting at the entrance of the study for a long time.
The Muse's confidant was a standard black man. Unlike ordinary black man, he did not have a tall and mighty body. On the contrary, he seemed to be born with stunted development, short and thin.
However, he was a bodyguard who had protected Muse for ten years. In the past ten years, he killed the twelve killers who assassinated Muse, all of which were killed in one move!
"Sicilis, have you been going to get in touch with that guy?" Muse asked in a relaxed tone while sitting on the chair in the study, playing with a cigar in his hand.
"Yes, boss." Sicilis nodded: "I met him in the afternoon. I carefully observed everything around me and made sure no one noticed it."
"Well." Muse was very sure of Sicilis' ability, and he smiled: "What did that guy say?"
"He said everything went as planned." Sicilis replied truthfully.
The muse gently kowtowed the table with a cigar, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked again: "Okay, this topic is temporarily stopped. Let me tell me the trends of the Klobo and other families."
"They prepared for the final battle according to our plan." Sicilis said what he wanted to say at the end, but he didn't say it.
The Muse smiled without any worries: "Sicilus, you are the person I trust the most, and you don't need to hide it in front of me."
"Thank you for your trust, boss." A strange feeling flashed through Sicilis' dead eyes, and then said, "But I found that they lack confidence."
"This is normal. The Gambino family has shown strong enough strength. It is normal for them to lack confidence." As he said that, Muse held the cigar in his mouth, and Sicilis immediately stepped forward and lit the cigar for Muse.
Muse took a sip of the cigar, let out a faint smoke, and showed a strange smile: "Not everyone is as optimistic and confident as I am."
Hearing the Muse's sigh, Sicilis understood that it is true that his boss has always been used to being optimistic and confident, but most of the time his boss's control over the situation is creepy, such as this time he dealt with the Gambino family.
"Is there any special news about Li Yi recently?" Muse changed the subject again. When he mentioned the word Li Yi, the smile on his face finally disappeared. On the contrary, he raised his eyebrows inadvertently.
It seems...Li Yi brought a lot of pressure to Muse.
And in fact, this is indeed the case!
When the curtain opened, Li Yi's every move in Los Angeles fell into Muse's eyes. Even Cavill, who felt a little headache, fell into Li Yi's hands, which surprised Muse very much!
Afterwards, Li Yi's trip to Komu could only make Muse speechless. He really couldn't figure out how courage a person needs to dare to lead someone to sneak into Komu and challenge the Yamaguchi group's authority in Komu!
Li Yi not only challenged the authority of the Yamaguchi group, but also caused a devastating blow to the Yamaguchi group. When Li Yi appeared in the news media for accusing the Kogi police of slander, Kogi's underworld became in chaos. Including the Triad Association, those gangster societies that had been suppressed by the Yamaguchi group for a long time challenged the Yamaguchi group, and the Yamaguchi group encountered the biggest crisis in the past decade.
Now, the Yamaguchi group has no time to retaliate against Li Yi, but instead faces the challenges of those long-suppressed gangs. The leader of the Yamaguchi group is even more troublesome. Not only do he have to command the gang to fight externally, but he also has to deal with internal conflicts.
After all... the patriarchs of the four major families of Yamaguchi Group were killed by Li Yi, and the patriarch's position was directly vacant.
In this world, there will be no lack of internal fighting anywhere, let alone the ambitious mouth-mouthed man?
When those gangster clubs did not challenge the authority of Yamaguchi Group, there was a phenomenon of seizing power within Yamaguchi Group. Although the leader of Yamaguchi Group was suppressed, the effect was not very obvious.
All of this made Muse feel extremely defensive about Li Yi. In his opinion, Li Yi will be one of the protagonists of this Mafia Committee coup and will even play a key role.
"He has been staying in Los Angeles lately and has no special actions." Sicilis replied respectfully.
"Oh?" Muse gently flicked the ash and said, "I've found an opportunity to invite Hong Qingyun from the Chinese Gang to me these days."
"Yes, boss." Sicilis replied in a low voice.
Looking at Sicilis' lifeless look, Muse smiled slightly: "Okay, Sicilis, it's not good to relax and keep tightening the strings. The twins I bought from Ukraine are very good, but unfortunately I have no intention of doing it recently, so you can vent it."
Sicilis didn't say anything this time, but instead smiled strangely and stepped back.
Seeing Sicilis withdraw from the study, Muse fell into silence and didn't know what he was thinking.
...
Compared to Edward and Sicilys, Hong Qingyun is in a much worse mood. To be precise, he has been in a very bad mood recently!
In Chinatown, in Hong Qingyun's villa, Hong Qingyun sat in the hall with a tired face, smoking cigarettes one by one. The ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts, most of them were wiped out after smoking half of the pieces.
Since learning that Li Yi had returned from Kou Mu, Hong Qingyun has never slept well again. During this period, he suffered from insomnia almost every night, and in the end he had no choice but to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep.
Because of his long-term boxing, Hong Qingyun used to look very good, but now he has a haggard expression, his eyes are black, his eye sockets are deep, and his eyes are covered with bloodshot.
In just over a month, Hong Qingyun seemed to have grown up ten years old.
Perhaps...If anyone else would be like Hong Qingyun, after all, anyone would raise his heart to his throat every day, keep his strings tight, and beware of his enemies assassination at any time. Such days would make people mentally collapse!
torment.
This is a true portrayal of Hong Qingyun's life in recent times.
After extinguishing half of the cigarette again, Hong Qingyun suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, the fear in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and replaced by madness!
Hong Qingyun had enough of the long-term suppressed life. Hong Qingyun understood that if he continued like this, he would fall first without being defeated by Li Yi. He had to make a decision. Even if this decision was crazy, he could only do this!
Now he has been forced into a dead end and has no way out!
"Send the order, the underworld conference will be held on time a month later, including the Maple Forest in China. All senior Chinese Gangs must go to New York to attend the underworld conference!" Hong Qingyun said in a gloomy tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man who had been standing behind him responded and then left the hall.
"Come on! Li Yi, let me see your methods! I want to see how you take away this leading position!" At this moment, Hong Qingyun's facial muscles were completely distorted, and his eyes were scaryly red.
...
It was the next morning when Li Yi received the order issued by Hong Qingyun.
Regarding the underworld conference within the Chinese Gang, Li Yi once heard Fang Jingming say that the so-called underworld conference is held once every two years. At that time, the bosses of the Chinese Gang in various regions of the United States and the heads of the Chinese Gang in China went to the headquarters in New York.
In the past, the main purpose of the underworld conference was only two: summary and prospect.
To be continued...
