In the United States, there are nine major mafia groups.
In 1957, these nine major forces established a national committee.
The five major Mafia families in New York almost control the entire committee. The Gambino family, the strongest among the five major Mafia families in New York, has a transcendent status. Therefore, the godfather of the Gambino family is called the boss among the bosses.
Now the new godfather, Cole, is the youngest boss in the committee. His qualifications are still relatively young. He needs to go a long way to convince other families and become the boss among bosses.
In the world of ordinary people, the jungle prevails.
The world of gangsters increasingly embodies this way of survival.
At the Gambino Family Manor, on the withered yellow meadow surrounding the lake, Annie was having a great time playing with the two Great Pyrenees. The little girl liked this beautiful manor very much.
Yang Chen simply stayed and let Annie play for a few more days. At this moment, he was enjoying the winter sunshine and fresh air. He was watching Annie playing with the dog from a distance, with a smile on his handsome face. Fortunately, this girl was a little heartless.
, optimistic by nature, has experienced many disasters without being greatly affected.
"My childhood was as happy and carefree as hers." Cole, who walked with Yang Chen, sighed with emotion. The carefree Annie reminded the new godfather of the Gambino family of his childhood.
That time is Cole's best memory.
As an adult, he was involved in the family whirlpool and found it difficult to extricate himself. Even now that he has taken control of the entire family and became the godfather, he still lives with various worries.
The instability of the family, the eager eyes of other forces, and Yang Chen, the "partner" who made him feel more pressure, were all factors that he devoted himself to.
"Being carefree is a privilege given to children by God. Adults who want to enjoy this privilege are probably useless people." Yang Chen's smile gradually deepened.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.
Cole nodded with deep understanding.
The two chatted while walking. They had known each other for more than a month and seemed to have been close friends for many years. In the manor, the bodyguards patrolling with fierce dogs met the two and bowed respectfully. After the two passed by, the bodyguards always paid special attention to the strong support department.
Yang Chen, your superior.
"Benicio is my man. The Gambino family headed by you will continue to maintain the same tacit understanding with him in the future, so that we can win-win." Yang Chen told Cole.
Benicio.
Cole's father-killing enemy.
People often say that the hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.
But at this moment, Cole nodded in agreement without hesitation.
The hatred of ten years ago has faded a lot as time goes by. Facing the temptation of a win-win situation through cooperation, the only hatred left in Cole's heart disappeared.
There are no eternal enemies.
There are only eternal benefits.
In reality, there are so many family ties that are distorted by interests, and interests can naturally resolve hatred.
The Gambino family's manor is very beautiful, but compared with Yang Chen's manor in Uganda, it is much inferior, with too many artificially shaped scenery. Yang Chen's manor, on the other hand, fully utilizes the magnificent natural scenery of the plateau water towns in East Africa.
At noon, Cole entertained Yang Chen in the banquet hall of the central villa of the manor. All the main members of the Gambino family accompanied him. Although they did not know Yang Chen's identity and details, they all showed that they were as cautious as accompanying a king to a tiger.
"Cheers to the future of the Gambino family, and cheers to my dear friend Yang Chen. You have brought good news to our entire family. With your guidance and help, our family will embark on a more glorious road." Cole took the lead.
Raise your glass and address Yang Chen with great emotion.
The more than 20 people sitting with him raised their glasses one after another, showing great piety.
Yang Chen spoke fluent English without even speaking seriously, smiled modestly, raised his glass, and took a sip of red wine like everyone else present.
cheers.
Chinese people's habits.
Europeans and Americans also have this saying.
But at a formal banquet, no one pours wine into their mouths with their faces raised, which is too ungentlemanly and unsightly.
Because tomorrow Yang Chen will take Annie to leave the manor and return to New York. After dinner, Cole suggested that they go hunting in the afternoon to have a good time.
Yang Chen had no objection, but Annie was very excited and clamored to go. Yang Chen, who doted on the girl, smiled helplessly and agreed to take her with him.
In the afternoon, three hard-core Wrangler off-road vehicles drove away from the manor and went straight to the hunting ground thirty kilometers away. Hunting grounds in the United States are not like those in China, where they circle a hill or a forest and graze rabbits and goats.
This hunting ground is a natural forest area with a radius of more than 300 kilometers, with undulating mountains, crisscrossed lakes and streams, dense forests, and many wild animals, including black bears and wild boars.
Maybe it’s because the United States is so vast and sparsely populated.
No one thinks that a hunting ground of three hundred square kilometers is very big.
Also, a Yellowstone Park covers nearly 10,000 square kilometers, subverting the concept of a park as understood by the Chinese.
There was a heavy snowfall after Christmas, which made the hunting ground covered in snow and especially enchanting. The group parked their cars at the rest stop of the hunting ground and took seven snowmobiles into the forest area.
Yang Chen drove a snowmobile and took Annie with him on the silver snowfield. The little girl, who had never experienced this kind of fun, screamed with excitement.
The engine of the snowmobile roared, and from time to time small animals fled in all directions, including hares, pheasants, and birds, and gunshots rang out.
A lot has been gained along the way.
Hunting, like carrying a gun, is legal in this country.
Even if you hunt rare and large beasts, it is not illegal. The Sci World Hunter Convention, the highest gathering of hunters in the world, was founded by Americans and has an official influence.
However, this country's animal protection organization spends most of its time worrying about the living conditions of animals in other countries. Yang Chen, who had not yet killed an animal in the hunting ground, found this ridiculous.
To go deeper into the forest, you have to hike. The three of them were left watching the snowmobiles and the hunted prey, while the others headed towards the core area of the hunting ground, where ferocious beasts often appear.
Yang Chen and his gang not only carried hunting rifles to eat, but also carried camping equipment and satellite phones, ready to respond to emergencies at any time. As the sun set, they finally found black bear tracks on the snow in a mountain col.
Bear.
Have the habit of hibernating.
But most of them hibernate in winter when food is extremely scarce.
In areas where prey is abundant, bears rarely hibernate and remain in hunting mode throughout the winter.
Upon discovering the traces of the bear, more than a dozen people, including Cole, showed excitement. They had killed people before and wondered how much fun it would be to kill small animals. Wild beasts were the target of this hunting.
Among these people were expert hunters, who followed the tracks quickly.
Yang Chen hugged Annie and stood behind him calmly. Most of the people walking in front thought he was the mysterious guy who helped Cole become his godfather, so they became timid at this time.
The black bear's tracks ended under a tree. The people in a hurry did not see the prey and were disappointed. The man who knew how to track animal tracks squatted under the tree and judged that the tracks left by the bear were fresh. He frowned and subconsciously looked up the tree.
, an adult black bear, obscured by the dense branches of a fir tree, was clumsily hugging the trunk of the tree, staying seven or eight meters above his head, looking down at him with his head tilted.
