Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 536 Return
The Italian moonlight soon fell on the castle.

The magnificent door was no longer closed, but slowly opened, inviting more guests to enter this grand feast.

Unlike during the day, the hall looks more magnificent at night.

The head of the Cassano family is busy trying to flatter the bosses.

Under normal circumstances, this pot-bellied man in his fifties would never behave so humbly in his own castle.

As a member of the second seat of the High Table, he never wanted to go any further. The D'Antonio family would never give up that seat in the Camorra. Even if old D'Antonio died, there were still two younger ones.

It was even less likely that he would get any other position because the Cassano family was part of the Camorra.

Old Cassano is very content and sensible, otherwise old D'Antonio would not have chosen this place as the venue for the dinner.

As for what those underworld leaders talked about before the dinner.
Old Cassano took a stealthy glance at Li You who was communicating with Benjamin Rothschild.

The High Table has welcomed a new giant, which also means they have gained a powerful ally.

good thing.

And now in the banquet hall, he was not the only one who thought so, there were also patriarchs of many Camorra families who were invited here.

Because of the clan leaders who were invited here, the original small dinner party turned into a large dinner party.

Old D'Antonio, who finalized this matter, certainly did not do it for no reason.

He is now getting older and has a daughter and a son in his old age.

They are still too young and do not have the ability to convince others.

Old D'Antonio needed a suitable partner, not too strong, not too weak, and not too close.

First, eliminate the other two ambitious mafia groups in Italy, Cosmopolitan Cause and the 'Ndrangheta, who want to replace the Camorra as Italy's top mafia.

The two assassin organizations, the French Brotherhood and the Scottish Fraternity, are both mysterious and insist on their different but strange philosophies.

The United States and Russia don't like each other, and if one helps the other, it will definitely cause trouble.

Japan's Inagawa Society is even more unstable. The old guy who came to the meeting today is in worse health than himself. He may die at any time.

The Korean Peninsula, which is not too close to Italy, is included.

Mexican drug lord.
Old D'Antonio shook his head. These were a group of mad dogs that should not be approached.

He also understood the situation of the Triads. The wave of crackdown on gangs there was very strong now. They were finding it increasingly difficult to survive in Hong Kong Island and were becoming weaker and weaker at a rapid pace.

After much thought, the only options are the newcomer Li You and that declining world-class family.

What’s worse is that the Rothschild family has an outrageous number of descendants, and the number of factions that have emerged is even more frightening.

"."

"Decline?" Li You tasted the wine and looked at Benjamin in surprise, "Can the Rothschild family also be called decline?"

"Because the number of people is increasing," Benjamin said dimly, "No one knows better than us the dangers of having too many people in the family."

"The endless struggle for power is present in almost every Rothschild family."

"You know," Benjamin sighed, "I'm only 41 years old this year. Since I became the chairman of the Rothschild Group in 1997, I have lost a lot of hair in the past eight years."

"From my grandfather's generation alone, there are only four people still alive," Benjamin said with a bitter look on his face as he talked about his family's inside story. "Do you know how many sons my grandfather had?"

"Six. I have five uncles."

"Then do you know how many brothers I have?" Benjamin stared at his glass of wine. "Five too."

“This is just our group.”

"I have an older brother, and now I even have a grandson."

"."

Benjamin complained angrily, as if he had found a soulmate, "Generation after generation, the family's wealth has been distributed, and everyone is getting poorer and poorer."

“Money can indeed make money, but it can no longer match the speed at which money can be distributed.”

“And those old people hold the most wealth.”

"It's only $300 million for me! Only $300 million!"

"."

Li You slowly looked at Benjamin, the man in power who complained about the large number of people in his family, and sighed, "The elders not only control the wealth, but also want to leave it to their direct descendants, and even want to..."

“Live longer.”

Li You exchanged a glass of red wine from the table.

Here comes the topic.

"So they started looking into genetics?"

"Beginning?" Benjamin frowned. "They are not the pioneers. If we talk about modern times..."

"That leader was the one who started the research."

"They just searched for some research materials and carried out further research in secret."

"The plan that started in the 1980s did bear fruit in 1997, but this achievement caused our family to lose control further."

"This achievement allowed a person who should have died to survive. He should have died, and then released a large amount of wealth, allowing the family to breathe a sigh of relief."

Benjamin said coldly, "But he succeeded, and prolonged his own life, but further dragged down the family."

"More people want to use this achievement," Benjamin said with a gloomy expression, "the old, the sick, and even those who are accidentally disabled, they are all crazy."

Li You was silent.

The elderly people at the top hold a large amount of family wealth, and the remaining family wealth has to be distributed continuously to the lower classes.

The population grew and there was no longer enough money to go around.

As long as the old people in the upper class don't die, no one can distinguish the main line from the side branches.

The dying person continues to live, further dragging down the family.

"."

"It seems that President Li has also heard our predicament."

Benjamin's complexion returned to normal, and he was even able to greet acquaintances in the distance.

"What do you want me to do? What can I get?"

"Ruin that plan." Benjamin was silent for a moment, then added, "We will share the results."

"Is this what you meant?"

"." Benjamin paused for two seconds, "It is the idea of ​​our young generation."

"But you can't do it yet," Li You nodded, "You want to speed up the death of your 'immortal elders'."

Li You's words were very straightforward, but Benjamin nodded calmly, "Yes."

"Due to the internal complications of the family, we cannot do it ourselves."

"But President Li." Benjamin squeezed the goblet in his hand, "Now you are one of the twelve giants in the underground world, I promise..."

"We will be closer partners after this is over."

Li You didn't quite believe it.

These big guys in finance usually have dirty hearts.

As soon as he takes action, those old guys who have no hope of survival will probably turn their attention to him.

Li You did not agree on the spot, but said that he would give Benjamin an answer later.

Benjamin looked quite disappointed, but he still politely separated from Li You and went to communicate with people he was familiar with.

"President Li."

Li You turned around and said, "Master Inagawa."

Wearing a kimono, Yuhiro Inagawa has a kind face, just like an ordinary East Asian old man.

"President Li's demeanor is indeed as Master Shimazu said," Inagawa Yuhiro exclaimed, "He is truly a great man of this world."

His words were very literary, completely different from his deceased father, who was a member of the Japanese Yakuza and was famous for his violence.

Yuhiro Inagawa's father, Seiji Inagawa, is also the founder of the Inagawa-kai.

What Li You did made Yuhiro Inagawa feel that he
It has some similarities to the style of Inagawa Holy City, but is a bit more civilized.

"Is the head of the Shimazu family okay?" Li You smiled, always feeling that this old Japanese man seemed to be dying.

Although wrapped in layers of kimono, Li You still realized that Yuhiro Inagawa in front of him was extremely weak.

As the third generation of the Inagawa-kai, Yuhiro Inagawa is undoubtedly the current leader of the Yakuza.

Yakuza is a general term for the yakuza that were born and bred in Japan, and currently includes the vast majority of Japanese yakuza elements.

If someone starts a fight on the streets of Japan, the first ones to arrive are not the police, but Yakuza members.

They often use much more brutal methods than the police to deal with troublemakers in order to maintain order in their territory. Even after a murder occurs, the Yakuza will do the same as the police, spare no effort to investigate the truth, and then hand the murderer over to the real police.

The Yakuza even has a good relationship with the political circles. Behind every election, there are funds and votes from the Yakuza.

Sounds familiar.

Actually.
This is exactly what Lee Woo is pushing for on the Korean Peninsula.

However, the total number of members of Kinmen's underground forces is only more than 20,000. Although it is still far from the 100,000 gang members of the Yakuza, the advantage is that these people are almost all controlled by Li You.

The Yakuza is more like a union. Yuhiro Inagawa can only command the people of his own Inagawa-kai, and he generally cannot command other Yakuza.

As for politics, Li You felt that he had provided enough to the commander-in-chief Li Lianchang and the mayor Li Mingxue.

What if Inagawa Yuhiro died?
Li You listened to his answer with a smile.

"Master Shimazu is doing well," Inagawa Yuhiro also smiled. "Although he is my junior, he is quite capable and manages the Osaka underground in an orderly manner."

Looking at Yuhiro Inagawa's back, Li You felt a little funny.

The two people who came to see me were from a family with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The family had begun to become unstable, and they wanted me to help destroy the things that kept their elders alive.

The other one was even more direct and should be dying soon.

I wonder if these powerful people in the underground world still have this kind of existence.

His eyes swept across the banquet hall, and the Mexican drug lord Palma walked over carelessly while chewing something.

Rather than saying that he is a big drug lord, it would be better to say that he is the second largest drug lord.

This guy is just acting as the second-in-command for his boss. The boss is Guzman who is already in prison.

The world's most wanted criminal, the most powerful drug lord, is now sitting comfortably in a Mexican prison.

"Thank you from Colombia," Palma said casually, "your car will be a best seller in Latin America in the future."

Even though he was a natural bad seed in Mexico, Palma didn't want to offend anyone easily, especially among the Big 12, as the more people he could have a good relationship with, the better.

He said hello, showed some goodwill and left the banquet hall. He had to hurry back to Mexico.

If he didn't have a private jet and the Camorra at Naples Airport in Italy had the final say in letting him land, he might have been caught by the Americans by now.

Mexico is still safer for him. If possible, he would never come out in his life.

Later on, the banquet was in full swing and not many people came over to chat.

Especially in the Camorra, which has strict rules, any family patriarch who steps forward before old D'Antonio would be overstepping the boundaries.

After a while, the 'Black God', who had changed into a suit at some point, slowly walked over.

Before he could speak, Li You took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Sloan, I heard that you have a sewing machine that can type automatically?"

Sloan's face froze.
"Actually," Sloane drawled, "it's a loom."

Although it is unclear how Li You, who had never communicated with them before, knew their family's secret.

But Sloan didn't care. As long as his own elites, who were easy to fool, believed it, it was enough.

Holy loom, Sloan thought about how the elites believed in it, and felt that the founder of the mutual aid society who invented it was a genius.

As for the ordinary members other than the elites.
believe it or not.

Li You smiled and asked, "Mr. Sloan believes in it too?"

"Believe it or not, it's not up to me to decide," Sloan continued to draw out his tone, threw down a word, and turned to leave, "Sacred is sacred."

This is quite tiring as you need to maintain your own persona all the time.

Before Sloane could walk away, William, a gloomy man wearing a hood, came over and said, "President Li better stay away from them."

He glanced at Sloan. "That's a hypocritical creed." Li You didn't feel offended by them, but instead looked at his palms and wrists.

"hiss"

William ignored Li You's gaze, but gently bowed to Li You in French style, and quickly left Li You's vicinity.

In Li You's opinion.
He should have been hanging around Sloan.

It turns out that assassins don't like each other.

The other eleven giants are really complicated.

The United States and Russia don't get along, and there must be political backgrounds behind them.

The three Italian bosses all have their own agenda, the Japanese boss is dying, the Mexican boss is already in jail, and now the British and French assassins are having a serious creed dispute?
After really joining, Li You discovered that these giants might be just like that.

Give him time and he can easily surpass them.

"President Li."

It was a familiar name again. Li You turned around and greeted him in fluent Mandarin, "Mr. Huang."

"." Huang Tianyi looked Li You up and down, somewhat unconvinced that the Korean in front of him could speak Chinese better than himself.

"President Li is..Chinese?"

"No," Li You shook his head, "but I have two good friends who are."

"Oh," Huang Tianyi thought about the information, "Ding Qing, the vice president of the Kinmen Group?"

"One of them is him," Li You smiled.

"No wonder," Huang Tianyi forced a smile on his bronze face, "Our two families should communicate more recently."

He clinked his glasses with Li You, "The higher-ups are strengthening cooperation, so we should follow the trend."

Huang Tianyi's eyes were bright. "I heard that President Li was also one of the promoters?"

Li You nodded. "Cooperation is a win-win situation. It couldn't be better for us."

"That's right," Huang Tianyi laughed sincerely. They had studied the structure of the Kinmen Group before, and there were quite a few Chinese employees who were similar to Ding Qing.

This is unique among the three major groups on the Korean Peninsula.

Although Li You is a little biased towards his previous life, most of the reasons do not come from that little bit of bias.

Most of the people in the Peking University group led by Ding Qing were ethnic Chinese who gathered together for mutual support. After the merger into the Kinmen Group, they naturally brought so many employees with them.

Section Chief Jiang, who died at that time, was attracted by Li Zicheng's bloodline advantage, otherwise he would not have allowed Li Zicheng to infiltrate.

The latter is even more exaggerated. During this era, a large number of people came here to "pan for gold", and each one of them was more capable than the other.

The workload is comparable to that of the future 996 oxen and horses.

Li You listened to Huang Tianyi talking about Hong Kong Island and agreed quietly.

"What a shame." Huang Tianyi unconsciously talked about his own pain point, "It is becoming increasingly difficult for us to survive in Hong Kong Island now. If one day we are no longer needed, we will have no choice but to be slaughtered. There will be no way out."

He glanced at Li You, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he smiled and stopped talking.

After parting with him, Li You touched his chin. Hong Kong Island has been cracking down on gangs for several years since its return to China. The fact that he was not killed by the Triads was the result of their active cooperation.

He pushed for cooperation among the upper echelons, not for the triads.

The triad wanted him to pave a way out for them, but they also had to see if the higher-ups were willing to do so. Li You was also thinking about the future hot sales of mobile phones in mainland China, and he couldn't offend the higher-ups because of a triad.

After the meeting, Li You met with Old D'Antonio.

Including old D'Antonio, his two children also attended the meeting.

The process was quite pleasant.

But the results
Maybe I made a friend.

"You should get closer to him," said the old D'Antonio, who bid farewell to Li You with his children. "He is not much older than you. I don't ask you to be as good as him. I just need you to protect the current D'Antonio family and this Camorra seat that belongs to the D'Antonio family."

He pondered for a while, "Cassano's adopted son, the young man who serves as legal advisor, is from the Korean Peninsula?"

"Yes," the eldest daughter, Jaina, nodded slightly, "now she is twenty years old."

"He was a very outstanding young man. I remember him," said Old D'Antonio, stroking his beard. "He completed all his studies and all the required certifications at the age of 20. He was very ruthless."

"You can try to win him over. Old Cassano himself will never hand over the Cassano family to him, and young Cassano will not tolerate him either. You can pull him over when the time comes."

"Yes," Jaina nodded solemnly.

"And Wick," Old D'Antonio said helplessly, "You should stay away from him. There's no benefit in being friends with him."

"." Gianna nodded silently, obviously not wanting to agree. Old D'Antonio also knew his daughter's stubborn character and stopped trying to persuade her.

As for the youngest son, Santino
He couldn't get involved in the conversation between the two of them yet.

The plane lands.

As Li You walked out of the airport and on his way back to Seoul, he began to think about whether he should buy a large private jet.

He had never thought about this before, that is, he did not go out very often, but now it seems
It is still quite necessary.

"Welcome back, President Nim," Jun Ji-hyun bowed.

Li You looked her up and down with some surprise. Jun Ji-hyun's long hair was lightly tied up, and a few strands of hair fell casually on her slender white neck.

She was wearing a white shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up to her forearms and a bow tie lightly tied at the collar. She was wearing a light blue skirt, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements.

"Why are you here?"

Jun Ji-hyun looked up at him blankly and said, "My wife asked me to come here."

Li You felt a little funny. He waved his hand and said, "Go to the lounge and wait. I have something else to do."

After he returned to his desk, Quan Jae-joon followed him and stood obediently in front of the desk.

"The genetic research institute is moving to Jeju Island," Li You instructed him, throwing him a document. "Go there in person and tell Longda to vacate the land I have reserved. Also, ask Jeju City Hall to make preparations."

Although Li You did not openly agree to destroy the "Witch Plan", Bai Jingen, the female supervisor, was a crazy woman, and Li You did not believe that she would give up.

If we agree to let them move in, we naturally have to prepare to take action.

"What should the city hall say?"

Li You shook his head. "Just inform them. The reserved land is ours anyway."

Jeon Jae-joon did what he was told.

Li You frowned and then called Zheng Zaizhong.

"President?"

Zheng Zaizhong, who was still carrying out some security tasks in Iraq, was a little surprised that Li You rarely called them on the "front line".

"Come back with your team."

Zheng Zhongzhong didn't ask the reason and agreed straightforwardly.

He looked at the hung up call, rushed out of his tent, and kicked his deputy on the butt, "Call everyone back!"

"Brother Zhong?" The deputy who was kicked scratched his head, "What is this for?"

“We’re going back to Seoul.”

Li You finished these arrangements, feeling that this was all he could do for the time being.

I may even have to lead the team myself.

Li You sold the land to the Rothschild family, and they were responsible for the construction of the genetic research institute themselves. It was estimated that it would be completed next year, but the purge in the United States might be about to begin.

He had to take this opportunity to do something.

Li You let out a sigh, stood up, opened the door of the lounge, pulled Jun Ji-hyun out, and tore the buttons of her shirt.

"Um"

Daniel walked out of the laboratory with his head down. A strange woman he had never seen before stood in front of him with a cold expression, "Dr. Bai, please come over."

"Dr. Bai?" Daniel looked at her blankly, "Who are you?"

The indifferent woman didn't answer him, but turned and walked away, forcing Daniel to catch up quickly.

Daniel looked at the woman from the side. She exuded a sense of strength under her loose combat uniform, and her expression was as cold as ice.

Her face was pretty but without a trace of feminine tenderness, let alone any emotional fluctuations; her skin looked a healthy wheat color under the light, reflecting a faint glow.

She noticed Daniel's gaze, but did not respond. She just walked forward, leaving Daniel to follow her footsteps.

Daniel looked embarrassed, but after following her to Dr. Bai's office, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the last meeting, Manager Bai was urgently transferred by his superiors at the head office and left the genetic research institute here.

Everything here is taken over by Dr. Bai.

Along the way, Daniel also guessed the woman's identity and was sure that it was Captain Zhao Xian whom he had never seen before.

The current 'strongest' in the Genetic Research Institute.

When I entered the office, Dr. Bai was leaning back in her office chair with her eyes closed. She didn't have the book she usually opened in her hands. Maybe Dr. Bai had finished reading all the books here. After all, she didn't know how to read a book without looking at the title page.

Daniel followed Zhao Xian and stood in the office. Dr. Bai was still lying there motionless, looking very tired.

After standing still for a while, Dr. Bai did not open his eyes, but spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Dr. Daniel is here?"

Daniel quickly whispered, "I'm here, Dr. Bai."

"Thank you for the trip, Captain Zhao Xian."

"."

Zhao Xian did not speak, but remained silent.

Dr. Bai said calmly, "Captain Zhao Xian should know why I called you here?"

Zhao Xian hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding, "I know."

This was the first time Daniel saw an expression on Zhao Xian's face in a while.

So what is it?
It can make the ice cube hesitant.

"Dr. Daniel must be very curious. I'll tell you right now," Dr. Bai sighed, "The head office ordered us to do so."

"Begin clearing out the cyborgs."

Daniel was shocked. “Why would the head office give such an order?”

"." Zhao Xian glanced at Daniel inconspicuously, with some inquiry in his eyes.

This was the first time she saw Dr. Bai so optimistic about a researcher, and she was able to have such a conversation with Dr. Bai.

"Doctor," Dr. Bai smiled bitterly, "What qualifications do we have to ask the head office?"

She said quietly, "These cyborgs are said to be our employees and security guards, but in fact they are just failed experiments."

“When you take out the trash, do you feel bad for the trash?”

Dr. Bai opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. "They are just dumping garbage. This garbage is harmful to the human body."

"Zhao Xian."

Zhao Xian lowered his head, "Yes."

"Go and prepare," Dr. Bai waved his hand weakly, "It will only take a few days."

Zhao Xian nodded silently, and when she turned around, Daniel clearly saw some regret and sadness in her eyes.

Dr. Bai turned to look at Daniel, "The head office has issued another order."

She said to herself, "Let's go to Jeju Island next year and use the new research institute. What do you think, Dr. Daniel?"

“…” Daniel opened his eyes wide, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, “You can’t just go to Jeju Island.”

"This time we can," Dr. Bai shook his head, "The head office and President Li have already reached an agreement."

"After staying here for a long time, it would be nice to settle down in the beautiful Jeju Island for a while."

Dr. Bai smiled at Daniel, "How is Number One doing lately?"

"Number One." Daniel hesitated, "It's fine, but she missed you."

"Miss me?" Dr. Bai did not comment. "Dr. Daniel must take good care of her in the next two days."
