You don't even want to call me godfather

The anger of seeing the enemy who killed a family cadre, the anger of someone coming to your store to cause trouble, and the anger of having a date with a girl interrupted in the middle of it.

Chapter 14: Sharp Words and Rapid Expressions (Edited)

run.

This was the first thought that came to Lapland's mind.

Even she, when faced with the angry Koshe, was like a Husky that had done something wrong and was discovered by its owner, trying to find a way to escape the scolding.

"Um...long time no see?"

Lappland raised her hand stiffly and waved it, then looked at Koshe who was starting to walk towards him, and she chose to run towards the door without hesitation.

"Jimmy! Stop her!"

In such a place, Koshei couldn't draw his gun as he was blocked by the crowd that had just gathered in front of him, so he shouted to Jimmy.

"Eh?"

Jimmy, who was standing at the door, was suddenly called and was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and reached out to grab Lappland.

"Tsk, trouble."

Lappland dodged Jimmy's hand by leaning sideways, took two steps upwards on the wall, flipped his body, and passed Jimmy.

When Koshe passed through the crowd and rushed to the door of the jazz club, there was only Jimmy who ran out to chase Lapland, and Jose who was guarding the door. There was no trace of Lapland.

"José! Where did Lapland go?"

Koshe hurriedly asked Jose.

"Lapland?"

Seeing Jose's puzzled expression, Koshe paused.

He almost forgot that only the Godfather knew that Lappland had killed a family cadre, and no one else knew about it. This was the opportunity given to him by the Godfather to prove the truth.

Koshei was deflated and stood there in frustration.

"Um... Boss?" At this time, Jimmy came over and said, "I didn't have time to tell you just now, there is something that you may need to deal with."

"What? I don't feel like doing anything else tonight."

To be honest, Koshe felt like he was holding back a rage with no place to vent it. He just wanted to find a place where no one was around to vent it out.

"It's... about a member of the family who embezzled public funds."

"Misappropriating public funds privately?"

……

"You all right, Cascade Godson?"

Under the guidance of Jimmy, Koshe came to a private room. A man in a suit and a hat stood up and greeted Koshe.

"Well... well, at least I look fine now," Koshe nodded irritably and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Boss, you have doubts about the settlement of the transaction from two days ago. Mr. Jace wants to explain it to you himself."

Jimmy spoke for the man.

"continue."

Koshe sat down on the sofa, lowered his head to light a cigarette for himself, and gestured at the same time.

"Godson..."

Jace spoke, looking a little uneasy.

"what?"

"The thing is, under normal circumstances, my accountant..."

"Are you going to talk all night?" Koshe stretched out his wrist and took a look, even though he didn't have a watch on it. "I still have things to do."

"It's like this. I borrowed some money a few days ago and spent some of it because my family is having financial difficulties recently and my wife is divorcing me..."

"Is that why you brought me here, Jimmy?"

Koshe was impatient with Jace's nagging.

"Boss, this is very important..."

"Nonsense, this is important, isn't it?"

"No...I think you should know about this."

Koshe was angry now, Jimmy could see, and this was not the first time, so he softened his tone.

"Okay, let's settle it. When you wake up tomorrow, pay back all the money you owe. Do you understand?"

"That's what I mean, Godson of Cascade."

"Okay, the problem is solved, right? Is everyone happy and satisfied?" Seeing that no one spoke, Koshe stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to my own night. Thank you, thank you so much, Jimmy, and I'm sorry to waste your time, Jace."

Koshe pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Jace.

"Thank you."

Jace took the cigarette with trembling hands and put it in his mouth.

"Thanks for coming. Have one, brother." Koshe took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Jace. Then he looked at Jimmy and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Boom!"

Seeing that Jimmy didn't say anything, Koshe suddenly punched Jace hard in the face, and Jace fell to the side instantly.

"You damn thief, do you understand?" Koshe leaned over, grabbed Jace's hair, gritted his teeth, and said viciously in his ear, then let go and ordered Jimmy, "Get him away, quickly."

"Oh shit."

At this moment, Jace couldn't help but swear.

"What did you say?"

Koshe, who was about to leave, turned around and pointed at Jace and asked.

"Boss, that's enough, boss."

Jimmy rushed forward and stopped Koshei with his arm.

"Don't act arrogant in my store, Jimmy, get him out of here, don't act arrogant in front of me, Jace, you piece of shit."

After saying this, Koshei withdrew his hand, turned around and walked out of the store.

"Oh, Boss, there is one more thing..."

"No, there's nothing going on here," Koshei immediately interrupted Jimmy, patted his face lightly, and then walked straight out of the jazz club, "Good night, Jimmy."

Walking on the road at night, Koshei gradually calmed down and began to reflect on his behavior.

He now felt that what his godfather had said to him on the night that Lapland had first escaped was true.

Although he had reached adulthood and became a formal party member, he still had many shortcomings.

For example, when it comes to rage, even if he appears to be very calm on weekdays, he still cannot control his temper well.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Koshe took out his cigarette case and prepared to light another cigarette.

But he just shook the hand holding the cigarette box up and down and put it back into his pocket.

Koshei really likes the job of bartender.

In other words, he really liked Jill as a bartender.

Because in front of Jill, he can always show his truest emotions, no matter whether it is a bad thing or not, he can always have an appropriate outlet to vent.

To use Jill's words, "Maybe some professions are like this, making people want to share what's buried in their hearts and tell their thoughts and secrets."

The sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and the noisy chatter seemed to have no effect on Koshei, who was sitting at the bar.

"Why are there so many people in the bar tonight..."

Koshe opened his slightly tipsy eyes, unscrewed the cap of a bottle of whiskey and poured the wine into the glass. There were already three or four empty bottles lying beside him.

The golden liquor looked particularly clear under the light of the bar, reflecting his face.

He picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it when a hand pressed his wrist.

"Stop it, Koshei, you've had enough tonight."

Jill stopped him, saying that she had witnessed Koshei getting drunk from the moment he walked into the bar.

This was totally abnormal; she had never seen Koshei like this before.

"jingle."

The door of the bar was pushed open, and a silver figure walked slowly to the bar and sat down next to Koshe.

"Boss, give me a bottle of whiskey."

As soon as the girl's voice fell, Koshei responded quickly.

"Click."

The sound of the pistol being loaded was not loud, but it made the entire noisy bar quiet down.

Koshei's pistol was against Lappland's head, his finger on the trigger. As long as he pulled the trigger, the guy in front of him who was causing him so much trouble would die immediately.

"It seems that you haven't been doing well recently. Even your temper has become a lot worse."

Lapland calmly took the whiskey handed to him by Jill, unscrewed the cap, poured it into the glass, and made a joke at the same time.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had already escaped to a place where I couldn't find you a few hours ago." Koshe clenched his pistol, his tipsy eyes wandering on Lapland's face. "You should know that I can send you to meet the family cadres and the people you killed at any time."

"But you won't do that."

Lapland held the muzzle of the gun and slowly pushed the gun down.

"Where do you get the confidence that I won't shoot?"

"Because I know you, Cascade, and you want to know the truth from me—from my own lips."

Chapter 15: The Way of Salvation

"I like seeing you drunk, Cascade. I always have. You're always easy to trick when you're drunk."

"If you're here to chat with me, I'm not in the mood today, Lapland."

Under the influence of alcohol, Koshei's anger surged up again.

"Are you angry now, Cascade?" Laplande asked, but after realizing that Koshe was really angry, she instantly became serious, "I think you should have known about the little things that happened between the Cascade family and the Laplande family in the past, Cascade, with your brain, or your connections."

"What do you want to say?"

"No matter what part of the information you got, or in other words, if you got all the information, then I don't think you will shoot me," Laplander said seriously, "Put away the gun. Neither you nor I want our affairs to be known to all the guests in this bar."

"..."

Koshe put away his gun.

Lapland was right. The contents of the document given to him by the contact person had already confirmed the fact that he would never shoot Lapland.

Because he was not qualified to shoot the orphan of a family that was wiped out by the Cascade family.

His mood was confused and complicated.

Perhaps he also wondered why the Cascade family was the only one to sit at the highest position when all other families were eradicated. Was there some unspeakable conspiracy, or did the Cascade family do something in that incident?

For example, taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

The downfall of the Laplande and Texas families was not just due to the government's declaration of war.

A bigger reason is the dishonorable means used by the Cascade family to eliminate their rivals, that is, other families.

Koshe didn't know how to feel about all this. He didn't know how to face his family, his godfather, and Lapland.

"Using anger to replace confusion is not like you, Cascade." Lappland continued when he saw the noise in the bar getting noisy again. "I don't really want to talk about this topic, but the Godfather didn't tell your family members what I did, nor did he put up a wanted notice for me. No matter how you think about it, it's all your credit, Cascade. Although it doesn't matter to me, I don't like to owe others, especially you, Cascade, so I am willing to risk being killed by you to tell you the truth."
