One Saturday afternoon, the hostages of the Buccio family came to Corleone's house. Santino arranged for several people to play cards with him. The same thing happened in other places in New York.

The Bu Qiqiu family used their commitment and ferocity to endorse the safety of this meeting. Once someone was killed at the meeting, the hostages of the Bu Qiqiu family who stayed in his family would also be killed; so Bu Qiqiu family The Qiu family can use the name of their own family members to be killed, and openly seek revenge on those who took action at the meeting.

The Bu Qiqiu family's revenge has always been unrelenting. Unless someone can directly uproot the Bu Qiqiu family, no one dares to bear the consequences. It is not easy to uproot the Bu Qiqiu family. They are in the United States. , have a large number of family members in Sicily.

Of course, all this requires payment, which is also one of the main sources of income for the Bu Qiqiu family. If the American mafia wants to negotiate, they will choose them to provide security protection.

The godfather took Shen Long and Tom Hagen into the car and drove to the office building of a small commercial bank in downtown New York. Santino looked at their disappearing figures and felt a little disappointed, because he knew that this meant that he was the heir to the family. has completely failed in the competition.

But thinking about everything that happened before, if Shen Long hadn't saved his life, he would have been doomed, and when the godfather temporarily handed over the family power to him, his performance was indeed not good enough.

Soon we arrived at the meeting place. Although this bank was in the name of the president, it was actually the property of the Corleone family. The president had handed over an equity agreement to the old godfather to show his loyalty. The old godfather was very disgusted by this. He felt that a promise was enough. This document was an insult to their mutual friendship.

But Shen Long doesn't think so. This kind of behavior may be normal in old Sicily, but the United States is a business society after all. There are contracts to compare each other. He doesn't believe that if the old godfather dies, the president will still abide by this kind of behavior. commitment, so he insisted on signing a formal commercial contract with Mo Green.

The meeting was held in the bank's manager's conference room, which also had a small bar and restaurant specially prepared for meeting attendees, allowing them to hold meetings more conveniently.

According to the rules, each gangster can only bring one attendant. Shen Long's participation was the result of the godfather communicating with other families in advance. The other families quickly guessed the purpose of this move.

The old godfather sat in the top position, Shen Long sat on his left hand side, and Tom Hagen sat behind the godfather, quietly waiting for the other gangsters to arrive.

The first person to arrive was Carlo Tramonti, who dominates the southern United States. He controls Florida's gambling industry, owns a high-end luxury hotel in Miami Beach, and cooperates with the Cuban government to build casinos and brothels in Havana. Attract Americans to spend money there.

He came with his own counselors. To participate in such a meeting, most of them were duos of patriarchs and counselors. Tramonti gave the godfather a hug.

Then there is Joseph Zaruqi of Detroit. His family owns a local horse racing track and controls most of the local gambling industry. After accumulating enough wealth, he has begun to consider laundering his son and a The marriage of large American families may develop in the political arena in the future.

Then there are two bosses from the West Coast, Franco Falcon, who controls the major labor unions and flesh business in Hollywood, and Anthony Molinari, who is in charge of the sports betting industry in San Francisco. It was he who gave Shen Long Traveling to Las Vegas provides a guarantee of safety.

The gang leader in Boston, Dominico Pancha, had some problems with his old godfather. He made Boston a mess, and both his subordinates and partners were very dissatisfied with him.

Vincent Fleur, from Cleveland, controls the largest underground gambling power in the United States. His family is called the Jewish Gang because, like the old godfather, he did not choose a Sicilian as a military advisor, but found a A Jew.

His style is also different from many old-fashioned Italian gangsters. His organization is extremely efficient, and he is also very good at winning over politicians to provide protection for his industry. In his words, he wears velvet-smooth politics on his iron hands. Gloves.

Ten patriarchs from all over the country have arrived one after another. They include almost all the influential families in the United States. They control the largest and most economically developed regions in the United States, except for Chicago. Because of Al Capone, The gangs in Chicago are far more brutal and unreasonable than elsewhere, and they believe that it is completely meaningless to allow such a mad dog to participate in the meeting.

Everyone is here, and the patriarchs of other families are paying attention to the empty chairs consciously or unconsciously. Compared with the last meeting, there are a few fewer people attending this meeting, including Emilio Bassini and Philip Tata. Leah, Anthony Strachee and Tirion Cuneo will never be in a place like this again.

They were still discussing the meeting two days ago, but when they turned around, four clan leaders were killed, and four families whose strength was almost the same as theirs fell. This made them look at the old godfather with some fear; there were also many people. Turning their attention to Shen Long, they all got more or less information and vaguely knew that this incident was led by the young man in front of them.

They were observing Shen Long, and Shen Long was also observing them. Some of these people looked like lazy millionaires, some looked like melancholy scholars, and some were wearing amulets blessed by the Pope, as if they were pious. Among the believers, who would know that all of their hands are stained with blood?

Most of these people came from Sicily and grew up in the United States. This made Shen Long couldn't help complaining in his heart, this is really an America with simple folk customs, and Sicily is full of talented people!

"Everyone is here, and I would like to express my gratitude to you all for participating in this meeting under such circumstances." Everyone has arrived, and the old godfather expressed his welcome, "I am not here to quarrel with anyone, nor do I want to quarrel with anyone. I don’t want to explain anything, but I want to talk sense to everyone.”

No one objected, some smoked cigars, some sipped red wine, they were all good listeners and very patient.
