That is, he was the only son of the previous godfather, the former crown prince of the Gambino family, and the first in line of succession. Legally, this is the case. In fact, the family has been passed down for six generations and has never been in legal order.
The person in power is always the most powerful one.
For example, after Carlo was shot, Cole's powerful cousin, Gotti Gambino, won unanimous support from family members and became the new godfather.
And now the old Gotti is trying his best to train his eldest son, with the very obvious intention of letting him firmly control the family power. Whenever Cole thinks about this, he is very unwilling, but he does not dare to show the slightest bit.
Still uninhibited.
Tonight, a mysterious man suddenly made an appointment with him, and the reason for the appointment made him have to come. The playboy went to the appointment on time, and his stylish Lincoln RV was parked in front of a luxury bar in the Upper East Side.
The winter in New York is not too cold, the coldest is only 10 to 8 degrees below zero, but Cole got out of the RV wearing a luxurious long mink coat, holding a cigar in his mouth, and hugged a blonde who was twice as sexy.
With two burly bald bodyguards, he walked into the bar arrogantly.
This bar, which is well-known in the Upper East Side, put up a sign saying it would be closed today after Cole and his entourage walked in, and then several men with a sinister attitude guarded the door.
Cole and his bodyguard walked into the bar and noticed that something was wrong. The hall on the first floor was empty. There was no noise, no music, not even waiters. There were only five or six burly men. Someone stood up and asked Cole's identity and asked him to go in alone.
Upstairs, the person who made the appointment is in the VIP private room upstairs.
Cole was unsure, so he nodded anxiously, leaving his female companion and bodyguard who were even more anxious than him, and went upstairs alone. He had already come in and wanted to back out, but it was too late, so he had no choice but to endure.
At the door of the VIP room, two sturdy men in black suits stood.
After Cole entered the bar, he more or less noticed an unusual yet inexplicable familiar aura from each of the mighty men. At this moment, he suddenly became enlightened.
They are like soldiers.
And he is a soldier who has been on the battlefield and killed people.
Even though Cole grew up in a Mafia family and was used to seeing big scenes, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when he was invited into a private room and saw a strange young man he had never met before.
"Please take a seat..." Yang Chen crossed his legs and leaned against the luxurious European leather sofa, smiling lazily. It was he who called Cole to make an appointment.
"What do you want to see me for?" Cole asked straight to the point after sitting down. It takes three generations of a family's glory to accumulate aristocratic heritage. The Gambino family has been glorious for six generations. As the former prince of this family, Cole at this moment is also...
Show the pride and calmness of the nobility.
"Listen to this first."
Yang Chen threw the MP3 player he was playing to Cole. Cole looked at Yang Chen in surprise, put on his headphones, and listened carefully. His expression gradually changed. Although there was a change, it was not as dramatic as Yang Chen expected. Could it be...
.This Cole has long noticed the strangeness of his father’s death?
Somewhat interesting.
Yang Chen looked at Cole with a deep smile.
"What do you want me to do after hearing this? Who can tell me whether this thing is real?" Cole asked Yang Chen pretending to be nonchalant after hearing this.
In fact, this guy asked questions knowingly.
Before his father, the Gambino family had only one godfather who was betrayed or killed by his own family, and who had never been shot dead by the police. His father's death had always been a knot in his mind for more than ten years.
"You should know better than me whether it's true or false. After your father died, you lived and drank like a heartless playboy. You just didn't want old Gotti to regard you as a thorn in his side and wanted to live a good life. But have you ever thought about it?
If you do this, old Gotti will let you go?"
What Yang Chen said casually made Cole stunned.
Cole's reaction all fell into Yang Chen's eyes, and Yang Chen laughed leisurely. The people below collected dozens of pages of information about Cole. Through analysis, most of Cole's actions over the years were acting and pretending.
It’s not that Cole was trying his best to seize power.
Cole, this poor kid who was almost forgotten by the entire family, only wanted to save his life, his ambition, and his hatred for revenge had all been wiped away by the fear that he might die at the hands of his uncle at any time.
"If I don't do this, what else can I do?" Cole asked with a wry smile.
"If you cooperate with me, you can not only survive, but also avenge your father and become the next godfather." Yang Chen finally revealed the purpose of meeting Cole.
After Cole heard this, he stared at Yang Chen for a long time and suddenly laughed, as if he was laughing at Yang Chen's arrogance. Yang Chen didn't take it seriously and said quietly: "If you cooperate with me, you still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, you will die without any chance of survival. I
I can see that you have been acting and pretending all these years. Where is your cousin? I think you just want to save your life, and old Gotti, who is deliberately supporting his son to take over, must be more complicated than I thought. If you doubt my strength,
Wait until you walk out of the bar before deciding whether to cooperate with me."
Cole stopped talking, stood up and left the private room.
Yang Chen smiled and stared at Cole's back, looking determined to win.
A fool doesn't want to be killed at the slightest provocation. Moreover, Cole is not stupid, he is also very scheming and ambitious. How can he just sit back and wait for death? What this kid lacks is the confidence to challenge the powerful.
Yang Chen will give him this confidence.
Cole, who pretended to be calm, walked out of the private room and walked downstairs slowly. His heart was filled with ups and downs. Why didn't he understand that his uncle would not let him go and wait for death?
Why!
As Yang Chen expected, Cole did not want to be killed. Feeling upset, he went downstairs and looked around the hall on the first floor. He couldn't help but be stunned. There were fifty or sixty people in the hall.
The same tough men with hidden guns were lined up neatly and imposingly. Cole immediately understood why the mysterious oriental young man said he would consider whether to cooperate after leaving the bar.
"please!"
More than sixty strong men uniformly gave way to both sides and saw off the guests majestically.
Cole became more and more firm in his previous judgment. Even if these people were not soldiers, they had definitely received high-intensity military training, and all of them had killed people.
Cole still pretended to hug the two frightened blondes, and left the bar accompanied by two equally frightened bodyguards.
When Cole walked out of the bar, he had made up his mind.
Rather than just waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death.
The Lincoln RV slowly turned around and drove into the distance. On a quiet road, a fast overtaking Wrangler off-road vehicle suddenly blocked the Lincoln RV and braked suddenly.
The RV was forced to stop.
Just as the two bodyguards in the cab were congratulating themselves for not crashing, two masked gunmen jumped out of the back seat of the Wrangler off-road vehicle, holding MP5 submachine guns and shooting wildly into the cab.
The two bodyguards who were caught off guard were beaten into pieces like the windshield in front of the RV, and died in a terrible state. One of the gunmen walked to the back seat door, smashed the door glass with the butt of his gun, and attacked Cole, who was terrified in the car.
He said: "Our boss said that you don't have to repay this favor, but you will have to get shot."
After the masked gunman finished speaking, he raised his gun and fired, and the bullet penetrated Cole's shoulder blade.
