Chapter 158： : Clash of Big Brothers

Corleone Manor.

The old godfather shaved his beard in front of the mirror, combed his hair carefully, and applied wax to make his hair look smoother.

Don't let the opponent see a little embarrassment.

He wants to tell everyone that he is still the once domineering Vito Corleone.

When he came to the living room, Tom, Mike, and Fredo were all there. The old godfather looked at the three children and smiled.

"Don't worry, this meeting will not be dangerous. They will not do anything during the peace talks, otherwise it will break the most basic rules of the committee."

"Tom, you accompany me." The old godfather said.

Tom removed the old godfather's suit from the hanger and helped him put it on from behind. The old godfather's injury was not completely healed, and it was still a bit difficult to stretch his arm.

After getting dressed, the old godfather took a picture in the mirror and wiped his sideburns of white hair. He felt that he could still fight now.

Tom accompanied the old godfather to the hotel arranged by Basini. Before getting off the car, the old godfather took a deep breath to make himself look more energetic.

The door opened and Vito Corleone got out and walked towards the hotel conference room.

The door of the conference room opened and the old godfather saw Emilio Basini, the head of the Basini family. Basini smiled at the old godfather, "Vito, long time no see."

"Yeah, since the last committee meeting, we have never seen it again. I thought you would come to my birthday party last time, but I didn't expect you to go to Cuba." The old godfather said with a smile, his tone like small talk.

Glancing across the hall, almost all the heads of the family have come, there are more than twenty people, and the conference table is full.

The old godfather also saw Philip, the head of the Tatakilia family in the crowd. The Corleone and Tatakilia families had the deepest hatred. Sonny killed Philip's son Buno, Sonny was killed, and the old godfather knew Philip should have done it.

Philip still looked bad at the old godfather now.

The old godfather looked at the other family heads, some nodded slightly at him, some looked cold, some played with the cigarette holder in his hand.

The old godfather knew in his heart that today's meeting is not easy, and maybe he will be besieged by other families, just like the previous few months of war.

When he got to his position, Tom helped the old godfather to open the stool. After the old godfather sat down, Tom sat on the chair behind the old godfather.

After everyone sat down, Basini stood up and said: "A lot of things have happened recently, some are unpleasant, and each family has suffered different degrees of loss. The original intention of the committee was to resolve the conflicts between families, so we have this time today. Meeting."

"Today's meeting, I hope to put the problem on the table, everyone can solve the problem together, instead of continuing the endless conflict."

After speaking, Basini looked at the old godfather, "Vito, do you have anything to say?"

The old godfather pursed his mouth, spread his hands, and said with a serious expression: "How did things turn out to be like this? I don't know. It's so unfortunate, so unnecessary."

"I was assassinated. The gunman shot me 12 bullets. Tatakilia lost a son, and I also lost a son. This is very sad."

"We fought for a few months, and the losses were great. I think it's time to stop. It will not be good for everyone to continue."

After speaking, the old godfather looked at Philip, the head of the Tatakilia family, to see what he said.

But before Philip could speak, Basini spoke first.

"Vito, I want to talk about the cause of the incident. The cause is that every family wants to run a drug business."

"The Corleone family holds the entire New York legal profession and politicians, but you are unwilling to share it with everyone, Vito, you are too friendless for doing this. You must let us share the benefits and make everyone rich together."

"Of course, we take advantage of your relationship and are willing to pay you."

"Sorasso shot you. That's Sorasso's business. He is dead, but the business is still there. You also know that business is not good now, and each family needs a better source of income."

After speaking this sentence, Basini glanced at the other family elders.

Someone stood up at this moment, it was Nicholas Silvera, the mafia boss of Kansas City, a short curly black fat man.

With a cigar in his mouth, this guy said to the old godfather: "Mr. Vito, I also don't believe in drugs, but this is definitely a good business. My men bought them back for three or four thousand, and they could sell for 50,000. "

"Sometimes, I can't control my hands to do this business because his profits are too high. You can ask the family here how many people are willing to do this business."

After finishing talking, the little black fat man glanced at the big bosses on the conference table, and these big bosses nodded at him one by one.

They are all expressing their positions and willing to do this business.

After Kansas City Mafia boss Sivilla finished speaking, the helm of Boston City also stood up and indicated that this business should be done.

People from other families can't help but nod.

Tom sat behind the old godfather and swallowed softly. He already felt deeply that because he refused the drug business, the Corleone family had been rejected by all the families here.

He raised his eyes to the old godfather.

This one adopted himself and raised his own father.

He suddenly had a feeling.

The old godfather is like a lion dying, and these people in the house are a group of hyenas, they are forcing the old godfather to give in.

Otherwise they will come together and attack.

Kill the old lion king to death.

The old godfather was always expressionless. No one could guess what he was thinking. When these people finished speaking, everyone looked at him and waited for his attitude.

The following statement by the old godfather may affect the future direction of the entire Mafia, whether to continue the war or make a fortune together.

The conference room was silent for ten seconds.

The atmosphere solidified a bit.

The old godfather pursed his lips and finally spoke.

"I agree to do this business."

When the old godfather opened his mouth, many family heads showed joy, and the old stubbornness finally agreed.

"However, I have a few conditions."

"What are the conditions?" Basini asked.

The old godfather glanced at Philip, the head of the Tartaglia family, and said, "Philip's son is dead, and Sonny is also dead. This thing ends here."

"My second son and younger son were assassinated one after another. Here I must get a guarantee that no one will move them in the future. If they are unlucky in the future, whether it is shot to death, a car accident, or whatever. The mess is sent to jail, or even struck by lightning, then I will blame everyone here, and the Corleone family will take revenge at all costs."

"I'm talking about whatever it takes, including the destruction of the Corleone family." The old godfather showed sharp eyes and scanned every family chief in the room.

this moment,

He has become a lion again, a lion who is desperate for his children.

Everyone here knows,

Although the Corleone family suffered a blow, it was still strong, and it was completely capable of killing any family or even several families in the room.

Basini looked at Philip and winked at him.

It means to ask him to quickly agree.

Basini’s purpose is very clear. As long as the old godfather agrees to drug trafficking and uses family connections to protect his interests, nothing else matters.

Philip stood up, "I agree."

The old godfather and Philip looked at each other for two seconds, and the two came together to shake hands and reached a verbal agreement.

"Vito, what do you want?" Basini asked.

The old godfather looked at Basini and said, "I remember you just said that you are willing to spend money to buy my relationship, right?"

"Yes."

When it comes to money, Basini doesn't care so much.

"I have a request. The Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas. I heard that Basini, Tataquilia, and Strachey hold 39% of the Flamingo Casino, and the other 61% are in Jon. In Hardy's hands, I want those shares." The old godfather said.

Everyone else in the field was a little dazed, and didn't expect Vito to make such a request.

Then they thought of the young man named Jon Hardy far away in Las Vegas. After the Corleone family casino was attacked, Jon Hardy immediately led people to attack the four major family casinos.

They even did more ruthlessly than them, and directly destroyed the casino.

The other families immediately remembered that Corleone had such a strong foreign aid outside.

When the old godfather just said that he agreed to provide political resources for the drug business, these people felt that the Corleone family had indeed been done, and they had been pressured by the families to succumb, and it would be difficult for them to raise their heads in the future.

Can think of what Jon Hardy did They suddenly felt that even if they attacked the Corleone family together, they might not be able to completely destroy him. As long as there are people in the Corleone family, they can use Jon Hardy. The power of revenge, and even re-emergence.

This is a very terrible thing.

Gangsters are most afraid of not doing things cleanly.

And the backlash that is often encountered is fatal, and they also understand the principle of'killing a snake without dying, then being victimized.'

The patriarch of the Salton family in San Francisco who was hit by Hardy, Leb Selton, felt hatred towards Hardy. He said, "Mr. Corleone, what evidence do you have to prove the ownership of the casino's shares?"

The old godfather glanced at this guy and said lightly, "Some people think that if someone is sent to occupy the Flamingo Casino, even if they get there, if the world is so simple, there will be no contract."

Selton sent someone to occupy the Flamingo Casino under the direction of Basini. Hardy killed all of the forty people he sent and was framed as a robber. All the families here knew about this. In fact, they wanted to Everyone knows what they do is nothing more than fighting for profit, but in the end they have never beaten others.

The old godfather wants casino shares here, obviously related to Jon Hardy.

At this time, Philip said a little displeased: "I invested 800,000 in the Flamingo Casino, and I will give it to you in vain."

The old godfather frowned, "Then you mean to use my network resources for nothing?"

Basini blinked, "Well, to show my sincerity, I am willing to let go of the Flamingo Casino shares."

After speaking, he looked at the other two clan chiefs.

Kolobo, the patriarch of the Strache family, nodded and agreed. Philip had no choice but to bite his teeth and bleed.

Although Hardy did not participate in the Mafia committee meeting, his power extends here.
