American variety show: The Godfather, the Peace Ambassador, what the heck?

Chapter 41 The Phantom of the Motorcycle
One afternoon three days later.

Luca drove his Cadillac and parked it in front of Uncle Biao's supermarket. Looking around, the roadside was lined with brightly colored motorcycles.

Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki. Many Japanese brands.

Compared to Los Angeles, the underground biker culture in New York is not as strong.

There are more car thieves here.

Luca remembered that he had stolen a lot of cars with Marigio before, and the process was not much different from GTA: break down the door, tear the wires, set it on fire, and drive away.

Luca hadn't done this in a long time, so when he saw these biker gangs who usually stole cars, a hint of nostalgia for his "youthful days" couldn't help but surface in his eyes.

He also saw Matilda mingling in the crowd. Although the little girl was short, she dressed quite maturely and blended in, looking like a delinquent girl.

Matilda is chatting with a tall woman.

The woman leaned against a cool motorcycle, her hands resting on the hood. Her slightly backward-leaning upper body lifted the hem of her shirt, revealing a glimpse of her fair and sexy abs.

Her long, slightly wavy, jet-black hair was lifted by the wind, adding to her alluring charm.

Luca raised an eyebrow slightly. He hadn't waited for his nephew, but he had made contact with this little wildcat first.

In the original storyline, this little wildcat had a flirtatious relationship with her nephew. Later, when she was captured by the mafia, it was her nephew who rescued her.

Wait, why bring up the Mafia?

Because the ones who made the arrest were the Luches family—another key figure in the family: the White Tiger.

Luca sighed deeply.

This is outrageous! Why would a family provoke such overpowered characters?
As a member of the Mafia, he genuinely didn't want to stand against his nephew.

My nephew is really too fierce. He drives the hovercraft like a tank, rampaging through the city, jumping up and down, and single-handedly turning New York upside down.

Such a formidable person, I'd be too busy making friends to arrest my nephew's men.
However, since my nephew hasn't arrived yet, I'll level up Luca's bond with him first, so he won't cause trouble for my nephew.

Luca opened the car door and walked over, flashing a bright smile. "Matilda."

"Luca~~ I've been waiting for you for so long."

Matilda ran over and jumped into Luca's arms as he crouched down.

Nancy's gaze followed Matilda's and landed on Luca's face, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

As a member of a biker gang in the Bronx, how could she not know Luca's name? He was someone they, as petty thugs, had to look up to and respect.

They didn't even dare to race in Little Italy, for fear of angering Luca and violating the "peace rules" he had set.

As the famous Luca led Matilda over, Nancy nervously adjusted her posture and gave him an elegant yet polite smile.

“Luca, this is Nancy, she’s Uncle Biao’s neighbor,” Matilda introduced. “Nancy is an amazing biker, she’s been taking me for rides a lot lately.”

As Luca approached, he noticed that Nancy's white shirt was open, revealing only a black bra underneath.

Punk girls are so charming.

“Thank you for taking care of Matilda,” Luca said with a smile. “She must be so bored here all by herself, and I’m so busy with work. I’m so happy that she’s made such a beautiful and generous new friend.”

Luca's friendly smile and handsome appearance eased Nancy's nervousness a little. He seemed a bit different from the mafia bosses she had met before.

Out of fear of the Mafia, she smiled slightly nervously, "I'm also very happy to be friends with Mathilda."

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Luca smiled and took out a business card and handed it to her—it was a club business card that Jimmy had recently helped him get.

"Our SSR club will open next month, and you are welcome to come and support us."

"Uh"

Would you be willing to give me a chance to entertain you?

"Thank you, I'd be delighted."

Nancy quickly accepted the business card, as if afraid Luca would take it back.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after Luca drove Matilda away.

It seems the Mafia isn't so hard to get close to? It's not what I imagined.

At that moment, several flamboyantly dressed, non-mainstream punk youths walked over and got on motorcycles.

“Nancy,” a young white man tossed his head and called out, “Get in the car, let’s go for a drive, come on.”

Nancy looked hesitant.

The elegant and mature figure from earlier inexplicably surfaced in her mind. Comparing her to these scruffy thugs in front of her, Nancy understood for the first time what a difference truly meant.

She shook her head and politely declined, saying, "I need to take care of my younger brother, so I won't go." [Bond: Follow]

After picking up Matilda, Luca led her to the SSR Club.

The renovation here is more than halfway complete, and many facilities are ready for use, but it has not yet officially opened.

For example, Jimmy often takes people to club bars to drink and play cards, and sometimes he also recruits and interviews employees at this place.

At this moment, Jimmy is playing cards with Old Zuo, Downey, Black Sonny, and others, along with several gang members at the table.

Ever since Old Zuo established contact with Luca, this guy has been going to Little Italy all the time, bringing along a bunch of poor bastards like Sonny and Downey.

The gang led by Black Sonny were all gangsters with no fixed businesses. They made money by robbery and extortion, such as "stealing" delivery trucks, robbing other people's factory warehouses, stealing the goods and then selling them at low prices.

Luca greeted everyone, led Matilda to the bar, poured her a glass of milk, and turned on the TV to play Transformers.

“Luca, I want to drink.” Matilda looked at Luca expectantly.

"Does Optimus Prime teach kids to drink alcohol?" Luca joked with a smile.

“Don’t always judge others by their age,” Matilda said to Luca with an air of superiority. “When you were 12, you were already Mafia with a gun, while I was still drinking milk and watching Transformers in a bar. Is that fair?”

Luca shrugged: "I watched Transformers when I was 12 years old, and Optimus Prime was my idol back then."

Matilda became interested: "Oh? I love bumblebees the most."

The conversation veered off-topic, drifting towards cartoons. But it circled back again, and Matilda whispered to Luca:
"Luca! I plan to take control of Nancy's biker gang first. I want to be their boss! When I go to high school, I'll recruit some good members from the school, the kind who are rich and pay me protection money regularly."

"."

Luca was both pleased and annoyed. This little brat learns these things so quickly. So you're getting so close to Nancy because you want to be her older sister?
Matilda patted Luca on the shoulder, "Don't worry, boss, I'll give you your wedding gift money. Everyone knows I'm Luca's man!"

Luca patted her head. "Do you know why Luca the Pigeon is so famous? Since you're using my name, you have to do things that are in line with my style, understand? Don't do anything reckless."

"To defend peace!"

"Very good, you understand me."

"Lucky Matilda will defend peace to the death!"

At the card table, Black Sonny, who had lost money again, scratched his head in frustration. "Fuck! What bad luck!"

Old Zuo also looked frustrated. "Is it because I didn't go to church last week? Jesus didn't bless me. I got such bad cards every hand, and I couldn't even make a pair."

Downey just wanted to roll his eyes. You lost all my money, that was the organization's funds!

If I keep losing money, the FBI won't approve my funding!

Jimmy smiled without saying a word. As the winner, he shouldn't say anything more to avoid incurring public anger—with a professional poker player helping him, winning money is so easy!

Cool!
When Lao Zuo and his group first came, Luca told them that he wanted to give them an "unforgettable memory".

So, in the first two days, Lao Zuo and the others won a lot of money, but then they started to have bad luck. They lost all the money they had won and became so poor that they couldn't even afford to sit at the table.

“Jimmy,” Sonny asked while looking at his cards, “I heard you own a clothing factory? How’s business lately?”

Jimmy gets a headache just thinking about the garment factory. "Don't even mention it. A while ago, some bunch of bastards ransacked my warehouse, causing me to lose tens of thousands of dollars! If I ever catch them, I'll smash their heads open!"

Old Zuo and Downey silently shut up, while Sonny felt a little embarrassed. They had robbed the warehouse right in front of the owner.

Who would have thought that Jimmy's business would be so successful with just one of his partners?

He's involved in both clothing factories and club management; I've heard this scoundrel even robbed an airport before—all big-money deals!
Damn, they're so rich!

The more Sonny and his friends thought about it, the more resentful they felt.

We're all robbers, so why is there such a huge difference between us?

As Lao Zuo and the others were leaving, Jimmy pulled Black Sonny aside and asked, "How's your family's business lately?"

Black Sonny looked utterly dejected: "Don't even mention it, it's a complete mess. We're selling to Philadelphia and Boston now; we can't compete at all in New York. Those bastards selling Blue Magic, are they from an orphanage? At such low prices, they're practically giving freebies to all the drug addicts in New York!"

Jimmy was also helpless: "Recently, this stuff has appeared in large quantities in Little Italy. As you know, Old Pigeon doesn't deal drugs, and he can't stand anyone dealing drugs in Little Italy, but Blue Magic has too much influence, Old Pigeon can't afford to offend him, and he doesn't like unnecessary conflicts."

Jimmy said with a troubled look, "This can't go on forever. Many residents of Little Italy have given us feedback on this issue. There are addicts and drug dealers everywhere, which greatly affects the quality of life! Who wants to walk their dog at night and find the streets full of addicts who are high and urinating or defecating indiscriminately? It's too upsetting."

Black Sonny: "."

Dude, your boss is being way too nosy.

Jimmy suddenly changed the subject, "Pigeon is planning to clean up Little Italy and the surrounding drug dealers. Are you interested in joining in? Once we get the drugs, Pigeon and I will only take the money; we don't want the drugs, they're all yours."

Anti-drug operation? Sonny was completely bewildered. What the hell was going on? They were even more proactive than the police! Were they really defending peace and maintaining the community environment?

Besides, the Lucchese family is involved in drug trafficking themselves; aren't they just making things difficult for themselves?

But despite his financial difficulties, he remained very interested in the matter. "Which drug dealers? Tell me about them first."

"French gangs, Jewish gangs, and the like."

Jimmy snorted, "Some people have gone too far. They need to be taught a lesson. Anyone who dares to break the rules of the pigeons will pay the price!"
