In the evening, Vito Pacino was sitting in a smooth car, silently looking at the sunset on the horizon through the gap in the slightly opened window.
This is a street in Glasgow. The huge snowstorm that is currently sweeping through southern France will naturally not reach the west of England. Therefore, the bustling commercial street outside the window is full of people and vehicles, and everything is normal. The sunset in the sky is reflected in the smooth
The mirror-like car window glass appears more intense and colorful, easily attracting envious glances from both sides of the road.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, the object of envy here is not the magnificent sunset, but the stretched luxury car that has to deliberately look for a large angle when cornering normally.
One of the standard props for rich people. Of course, Vito himself doesn't care about this. It is just a transportation vehicle in the garage of his local real estate. It is rarely driven out every day and is only used when discussing business.
Now that we have talked about it, let me mention by the way that just half an hour ago, he just acquired an old local shipyard with a long history. The negotiation lasted for a total of three months, and he finally won it successfully today.
It's not easy.
So sometimes Vito would also think that even without the support of the family industry that cannot be put on the table, according to the normal business operating rules, with his methods and innate talent for business, there should be quite a lot of success.
Achievements... of course, just thinking about it. He knows very well how he and his family started, and he is also very good at taking advantage of these advantages. For example, this acquisition did not go well in the early stage, and the proud British people did not put him in the first place.
In the eyes, but after using some shady methods, a breakthrough was opened...
Although the actual total value of the shipyard is not much, and the later output is estimated to be quite limited, Vito is still in a good mood at this time. This is a legitimate business and represents a decent identity that integrates into the local area. Sometimes he needs such a
Get a business card to connect and maintain relationships above the surface.
This is important.
In addition, there are other uses of invisibility that I won’t go into detail one by one. The meaning of this is probably that only Ross, who is also sitting in the car, can understand it. As the right-hand man of the contemporary head of the Pacino family, he is very aware of what is happening before him.
Although he looks old, this strong old man has a well-kept appearance. He has thoughts and strategies as deep as the sea.
In silence, the limousine drove away from the bustling downtown area. After crossing another bridge, the surrounding buildings gradually became desolate. This is the transition zone between the city center, which symbolizes wealth and power, and the desolate suburbs. On both sides are old people.
The old building was not well-maintained and the greenery was not well maintained. At this time, the magnificent sunset on the horizon had also dispersed, and there was nothing worth seeing. Vito was about to press the button to fully raise the window.
The car suddenly stopped in front of a pedestrian crossing.
Even though he was wearing a seat belt, he was caught off guard, and Vito's upper body still leaned forward involuntarily. Fortunately, Ross, who was sitting opposite, reacted quickly and quickly stretched out his hand to support him. "Sorry, sir." came from the built-in intercom in the car.
The driver apologized helplessly, but Vito remained silent, sitting up straight and looking out the window.
A group of children, led by several teachers, were crossing the road. It was time for school to end. Of course, it was also the evening rush hour after get off work, so both sides of the crossing line were quickly filled with passing vehicles. There were no drivers honking their horns because it was useless. On the contrary, there is a high possibility that you will receive a fine, so be patient and wait.
Those children were not in a hurry, and some could even be seen deliberately slowing down. They were wearing uniforms, carrying various small schoolbags, holding their heads high, walking between the cars on both sides, looking proud, like a child.
The little chicken just patrolling the territory is frustrating but also quite interesting to watch.
At this time, a little boy avoided the teacher's sight and secretly stopped at the zebra crossing, looking curiously at the luxury car in front of him.
There is no doubt that this is a little thorn that is full of naughty attributes, because in the round face with freckles and smart eyes that do not know how to hide, it is easy to find the meaning of "willful" and "cunning", dragging it.
He was the one at the back of the group who took the longest to cross the road.
As his hazel eyes swam, the little boy met the cloudy eyes of the old man behind the crack in the car window. He seemed to be frightened, and when he reacted, he made a face without hesitation, put his thumb in front of his nose, and the other fingers
Swinging back and forth, tongue flickering back and forth, the provocative gesture is clear at a glance.
In the car, Vito raised the corners of his mouth slightly and pressed the button to lower the half window.
Ross frowned unconsciously when he saw this. He was about to be reminded of the risks behind this move, but his expression suddenly froze the next moment - the old man in front of him, who always paid attention to his dignity, actually put his right thumb in front of his nose and shouted back at the little boy.
He did the same thing. Oh, except he didn't stick out his tongue. After coming back to his senses, Ross subconsciously looked away and looked out the window.
The little boy stood in the middle of the road, stunned.
Vito immediately put down his palm, opened his mouth, and showed a smile that represented victory. At this time, a teacher noticed the situation and hurriedly came over to pull the little boy back into the queue. The children lined up again, passed the zebra crossing, and turned around.
We walked to another street. During this period, we could see the little boy turning his head frequently, looking unconvinced.
The road was clear again, the windows were raised, and the limousine continued to move forward.
"Look back and find a reason to donate money to the school..." Looking back, Vito said casually. Ross nodded in agreement and did not ask which school, okay, this is obvious. He closed his eyes, and Vito had not said anything yet.
After finishing, he murmured in a low voice, "...I remember that Alva was so naughty when he was a child..."
Rose's expression suddenly became serious when he heard this. He immediately picked up the satellite phone, flipped through it to find the number, and dialed. After more than ten beeps, no one answered. He frowned, hung up, and found another number to dial. This time it was quickly called.
Pick up.
A few minutes later, Ross hung up the phone with a bad look, looked at Vito who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and briefly reported, "They entered the mountains in the afternoon, including the ghost. The specific location was near the center of the huge snowstorm in France.
The mountains, affected by the severe weather, currently cannot contact Lawrence, and no news has been released.”
Sometimes no news is news, or even good news, but this is obviously not the case for the two people in the car at this moment. Vito pondered for a while and opened his eyes, "It seems that Lawrence can't solve the problem. It's also my mistake.
You shouldn't have been lucky enough to let him live a few more days..."
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant, and then he changed the subject, "Is O'Connor still over there in Southeast Asia?"
Ross was stunned and replied, "Yes, I told you a few days ago. The latest news was a week ago. He said he had a little trouble to deal with, but didn't say anything specific. Do I need to contact him... now?"
After receiving the confirmation, Ross couldn't help but take a breath. As an important member of the Pacino family, he certainly knew what the name O'Connor represented. O'Connor, codenamed Man-Eating Bull, is the world's top killer, and the Pacino family is the most powerful.
Strong force guarantee!
It is worth mentioning that Ross does not like the other party, or to be more clear, it is a taboo, because the code name Cannibal Cow is not just a code name... But in any case, the strongest thug in the family is transferred back, and the boss this time
Apparently he has made up his mind!
He picked up the satellite phone again and dialed. Of course, it was not directly to O'Connor. The latter did not have a fixed contact number, but he had a relatively fixed contact method.
About half an hour later, when the sky was completely dark, and the car was about to arrive at a brightly lit secluded manor outside the city, the satellite phone rang. "Hello, this is Ross...wait a minute, the boss wants to talk to you."
When taking the phone from Ross, Vito looked down at his watch and said calmly, "O'Connor, this is Vito. The time over there now...is it early morning? Sorry to bother you so late, but there's something
I want to tell you in time."
"It's one twenty-seven in the morning, boss." How should I describe the voice coming from the other end of the phone? It was clear, rigid, and without any color temperature. It was like a fixed-running mechanical bearing that lacked lubricating oil.
That kind of, faintly smelling of rust, makes people feel hairy when they hear it. Of course, Vito is used to it.
"I asked you to go to Southeast Asia before to eliminate the impact. Last time you made too much noise in the Middle East, many intelligence agencies were tracking your whereabouts, both covertly and covertly. In addition, there is another purpose, which is to wait for the family
The identity of the murderer of Alva has been investigated here, and you can deal with it nearby during your vacation... But now, that person, the ghost, has appeared in France."
At this point, Vito's tone turned low, "I need you, O'Connor, I need you to come back and kill him so that Alva can rest in peace!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, "Yes, but not now. Vito, I have some trouble that I need to deal with."
Vito couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words. He knew that the other party was in trouble. Ross also said it just now, but he didn't take it to heart, because for a top killer, trouble is really nothing. Even if there is any, he will be punished.
It will be dealt with quickly... But now it sounds like the trouble on O'Connor's side seems to be quite difficult, and it seems that it has not been solved until now.
He was a little curious, but Vito didn't inquire in detail, and he didn't need to. He believed the other person and continued, "O'Connor, you know, I have three sons and five daughters, and Alva is the best in every sense.
That's all the case. I have high expectations for him. I have taken him with me since he was a child and trained him as his successor...I hope you can understand how I feel at this moment."
There was silence again on the other end of the phone. After a moment, he said, "Two days, I will go back to solve this problem in two days."
Vito smiled and said, "Okay. Thank you, O'Connor. Goodbye."
