old dream

Chapter 179 Rumors and coma

On the night that Colin was escorted into the car, a story spread in Southstadt.

Marizio uses bootlegging as an excuse to put pressure on Cestalo.This was a struggle between five hands and two seats, and in the end, "manly" Colin stood up.He took the risk for the patriarch and went to the Caruso family alone to confront him.

Most of the gang members spoke highly of this matter, because Colin's choice at this time was quite old-fashioned and Sicilian, as if it brought people back to the golden age of five hands 30 or [-] years ago.

Most of the new generation were born as refugees, and have fled to this point, without the pioneering and enterprising spirit of their predecessors.This kind of courage and quality is very rare.

But what is even more bizarre is that Marizio, who was aggressive at first, softened his attitude the next day.He said his suspicions about Chestalo might just be misgivings.And, out of a strong appreciation for Colin Dallozzo, he intends to invite him into the Caruso family as a senior assistant.

Such a result was once again beyond everyone's expectations. It is hard for people to imagine what kind of inhuman ability the "male man" has to resolve the crisis of the conflict between the two families with a single gesture. Moreover, he won the strong support of the "big boss". appreciate.

Some people even speculated that maybe Marizio chose to skip Luka's suspicion of bootlegging just to get Colin under his command.Letting the latter live is just a bargaining chip to ask for this person.

The obviously abnormal facts quickly brewed all kinds of exaggerated rumors. Amidst the discussions and speculations, Colin's reputation unexpectedly reached a new height.

The "manly man" Colin is said to have been a key figure around Luca in his early years. Although his reputation has not been obvious, Chestalo's rapid growth cannot be separated from his shadow.

He was later dubbed "The Man" for his defense of Julio Capello.And Julio, who was extremely immature and weak at the time, is now the undisputed patriarch of Capello.One of the oldest five-handed families was forged and reborn in his hands.

Now, he has resolved the dispute between the Caruso and Chestalo families.And entering the Caruso family, he will soon become a senior assistant directly under Marizio and participate in the core affairs of the Caruso family.

Only then did people suddenly discover that the seemingly insignificant Ke Lin had influenced and changed the fate of several five-handed families.

And these miraculous achievements and jump speeds are no less than the "old friend" Luca Chestalo back then.I heard that the "manly man" also has many loyal fans who follow him. Presumably, given time, he will definitely have a place among the five future patriarchs.

"But what are the facts?"

Luka extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray vigorously, sat back on the sofa, and expressed anxiety unconsciously in his words:

"Why did that bastard want you to go to Caruso? As a hostage?"

In the office on the upper floor of the Aspen Hotel, the doors and windows were closed, and only Colin and Luca were present.

Those rumors and the facts are very different, and Luca, one of the parties involved, of course will not believe it.But he was equally bewildered by the matter.

"Maybe they want me to use credit to make up for my mistakes." Colin said:

"Have you ever heard of the 'Bohr Brotherhood'?"

The Chestalo family is still very young, and Luca has only a few businesses involved.Unlike Caruso, who permeates nearly every aspect of the community.

Therefore, Luca's news ability is far weaker than that of Marizio.What's more, he hasn't been in Stade very often recently.

Colin conveyed to Luca the secret conversation in the chapel last night. Of course, it was only a small part of it.

There's a hunting spree going on in the Old City, and a wave of terror to come.

"And that kind of thing."

Luca frowned, but didn't choose to believe right away.Instead, he subconsciously suspected that this was Marizio's trick to delay time.

But these cases are too easy to check, he should not be so stupid.

But if this matter is true and Luka's expression becomes serious, then it is foreseeable that the future of the Sincilians will be very bleak.

An external turmoil is coming, but the five major families are falling into civil turmoil over the issue of bootlegging.

Barain had hired men from other cities and was expected to set up an ambush to shoot Marizio three days later.This matter was privately agreed by the other two big patriarchs, and they coordinated in advance to prepare for the turmoil after the collapse of the "big boss".

I don't know when Marizio plans to make this matter public. If the situation is true, he must call the patriarchs.

"But what does that have to do with you?" Luca asked inexplicably.

"The 'Bohr Brotherhood' is mainly active in the old city." Colin said:

"Caruso's people going to the old city is equivalent to entering the enemy's territory. It may be because I know a lot of people in the old city, and Marizio just wants me to make atonement."

After all, I spent most of my time working and living there. Through this kind of rhetoric, Ke Lin cleverly rounded up the key part:
"And Uncle Craigie still has some energy, and Marizio hopes that I can fight for it."

Regarding this statement, Luka faintly felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't figure out the key point.What exactly does Marizio want Colin to do?Could this be coming for me?One hypothesis after another flashed through his mind, but none of them could answer the question in front of him.

In the end, he sighed, unable to guess whether Marizio had any deeper intentions, so he could only watch as he walked.He put his hand on Colin's shoulder:
"He took so much trouble, at least he didn't intend to let you die. But..." Luca hesitated and said:

"Don't try too hard. There are only so many things one person can do. This should be the responsibility of the five major families."

After all, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people are involved, and the situation is very unfavorable. Luca is worried that he will disregard his own life.At times like this, Colin would often choose a crazy approach, as he had a criminal record before.

"I understand," said Colin.

"It's a period of time after that, I may have to stay in the old city forever."

"Do you need someone to send you?"

"No need." Colin smiled: "It's just an eyeliner. Caruso is in charge of killing and killing, so there will be fewer and fewer people following me."

"That's good." Luka took a deep breath, suppressing the ominous premonition in his heart:

"When things are over, you are welcome to come back here at any time."

"Ah."

Colin answered, but he knew in his heart that he would never go back for some days.

…………

In Capello's ancestral home, Julio sat on the ancient desk in the study, supporting the table with his wrists while dangling his legs.She was instructing the servants to pack their luggage, because after a while, Julieo would also go to the old city.

With the speakeasy in Sindhili being emptied, Capello's current mission has come to an end.Their income was interrupted for some days.Because he no longer owns the industry, Capello is now like a mercenary.

Originally, Julia had already considered joining Colin, but now that Marizio has paid the commission, the new mission is to go to the old city, disperse among the scattered Sindhi communities, and protect the first immigrants who came to Stade.

"After Marizio promised you the bootleg market, what the hell did you talk about?"

Julieo asked Colin, who was very upset about this incident.Because the conversation between Colin and Marizio progressed further, he fell into a coma unconsciously.

She didn't know who moved her hands and feet, and when she woke up again, she was already sitting in the back of the car returning home.

And Colin sat awake beside her.

In my impression, Marizio's last words were "I hand over the entire bootlegging market to you." After that, everything they talked about should be related to themselves.

Since Marizio had investigated everything clearly in advance, why did he call himself there on a special trip, but in the end he made himself unconscious and concealed it on purpose?
"...Is it related to Arecio?"

Julie Ou still doesn't know the truth about the Lantern Girl, and only thinks that all the peculiarities in her body come from Arecio's experiment.

"No." Colin lied:

"It's just something related to my hometown. You are not the patriarch of the five major families, so it's inconvenient to know."

After speaking, he looked towards the corridor outside the room.A pure white figure was quietly staying there, looking at the withered courtyard in autumn.

The derelict lamp girl, Hilpert.
