I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

Faust: "We have Lady Sicily's token, which is enough to prove it all."

"Besides, Director Chen Qi said that if you can participate in our movie, he will give you a reason that you can't refuse."

Alberto: “…What is it?”

After seeing the necklace that Faust took out, Alberto was sure that it was the token of Lady Sicily, and his original arrogance was greatly reduced. Although this was not enough to be a bargaining chip for him to agree to act, there was no doubt that this gave him a new understanding of the current power of Chen Qi's crew.

As for the reason that couldn't be refused... he was also very curious about what it was.

However, Faust only uttered a name word by word after a period of silence:

"Lapland."

Sure enough, when Faust said this, the whole scene fell silent. Faust saw that this trick was really effective, and then he immediately said:

"Director Chen Qi said that he knows Lapland and where she is. He has now invited Lapland's friend, Texas, to star in our movie. He believes that as long as Texas comes, Lapland will definitely come as well."

"She is your daughter, isn't she? I think you must be eager to meet her."

"——She is nothing but a traitor to the family. The moment she became a traitor, she no longer had any relationship with the family."

Alberto snorted coldly when he heard this, but it was obvious that this name touched him deeply. After some consideration, Alberto turned his back and said lightly:

"I won't act in a movie for that person. As the head of the family, I can't act on impulse."

"——This time, I am only investing in a movie that is bound to be successful for the benefit of my family. It will only bring some insignificant profits to our family. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Faust smiled faintly when he heard this. It was just as Director Chen Qi said... He was a proud old father.

"I will go back and tell Director Chen Qi your answer."

"I will remember this too. It turns out that the public relations department of your crew is full of such capable people." Alberto also felt emotional. He didn't expect that there would be a day when his lifeline would be caught by someone, and by a kid who looked only in his teens.

"Kid, you are infected, right? How long have you been in the public relations department of your crew?"

Faust: "Not long. Counting today, it's only been half an hour. I'm just a temporary employee in the temporary public relations department."

"..."

At the same time, not only in the Saluzzo family, but also in the Integrated Art Troupe, Chen Qi sent people from the twelve families to play roles. Among them, there were many members that Chen Qi specifically asked to be invited.

In the Bellone family, the head of the family, Bernardo, was also a little surprised by the visitor - he was a person who loved art very much, and the Volsini Milan Theater was his property. Therefore, when he first saw the character of "Vito Don Corleone" in the script of "The Godfather", he immediately felt touched.

This role is simply a reflection of his life, a role tailor-made for him. And it is precisely because of this that Bernardo even had a little unpleasantness with Lady Sicily at the Gray Hall meeting because of the protagonist issue of this role.

And now, people from Chen Qi's crew also visited the Bellone family and presented their invitation list, which made the head of the family, who had lost the starring position of his favorite role, overjoyed.

"Are you saying that my son (Si Ye) can play a role in this work? Or an important supporting role?"

"Yes, our director feels that the role of 'Sonny', the oldest son of The Godfather, is best suited for your son."

Frost Star brought the Patriot here to negotiate with the people of the Bellone family. When the father and daughter first visited, they frightened the guards of the Bellone family, and immediately dozens of guns were aimed at the father and daughter.

Fortunately, the news brought by Frost Star and Patriot made the head of the family very happy. He regretted that he could not star in this film, which might be "the greatest mafia movie in Syracuse" in the future. He did not expect that his son could be selected.

"Not only your son, but also the city-state judge supported by your family, the judge named Lavinia (Rebuke). Director Chen Qi said that she is very suitable for another major role, military advisor 'Tom'."

"I wonder if Master Bellone is willing to lend them to our crew for filming? Of course, if you are worried, you can send your own people to the crew for protection and to supervise the filming progress."

Bernardo: "Of course! I'll ask them to join the crew right away. It's our honor to be able to participate in this greatest mafia movie!"

Soon, Chen Qi's casting from the twelve families was in full swing. Within one day, Chen Qi, with the help of his memories and experience from his previous life, called almost all the influential people in Syracuse to the crew, just to shoot this world-spanning masterpiece!

A day later, Chen Qi and his long-awaited Penguin Logistics team had already traveled a long distance to Syracuse and arrived at Chen Qi's crew...

"Oh - is this your hometown in Texas? It looks nice!"

Texas: "...My hometown is in Columbia, Angel of Exorcism. This can only be regarded as the hometown of my former family."

The Penguin Logistics team, who had just stepped off the Penguin Logistics land ship, docked directly at the suburbs where the crew was located. Before Texas and his team could take a closer look at the changes here, the emperor could not wait to walk towards the crew, saying:

"What are you waiting for?! Go meet Chen Qi! I've been staring at the music score for a whole day, and I already know how to sing it!"

"We can't let others get there first, let's go!"

The emperor now felt like he was possessed by a demon. The more he listened to the song "In the Name of the Father", the more he felt that the person who wrote the song was truly a genius. Before this, no one had ever thought that a story could be conveyed through a song.

Especially when the Emperor heard from the Regicide that the "Godfather" filmed by Chen Qi this time was about the Mafia, he must sing this song himself!

A movie that can match this song can't be bad! Even if it's bad, he can still support the whole movie with just one MV!

"Boss! Wait for us!"

Although the emperor looked like a penguin, he ran faster than the four penguin logistics girls. After everyone left, a silver-white figure crawled out from the trunk of the land ship parked nearby.

"Hehe, this is quite interesting... I didn't expect Texas to go back to Syracuse just for a movie..."

"I'm not interested in that guy's movie, but if Texas is in it..."

When the silver-haired Rupert girl thought of this, a smile appeared on her face. She had returned to Syracuse after a long absence and wanted to meet some "old friends" impatiently, but now did not seem to be the time.

"It's okay, just go and watch it first. If it's a movie starring Texas, then I'll reluctantly give that young director a five-star rating, hehe."

And just as she said this, after some hesitation, she suddenly spotted an unexpectedly familiar figure - it was the head of the Saluzzo family who was invited to star in Chen Qi's movie yesterday.

"…Why is he here? Isn't he always not interested in movies and art?"

Lapland didn't expect that he would meet his father here, but his father's presence made Lapland smile even wider.

Now, she had to take back her original words. This movie might be unexpectedly interesting.

Should I also go visit the director and see if I can arrange a role for her... preferably one that can "kill" her own father with her own hands?

Lapland smiled and then quietly sneaked into the crew. She now wanted to follow Texas and the others to see what was so magical about this movie that could attract so many powerful people from Syracuse.

Chapter 5: The first scene of The Godfather, getting into the play unconsciously

"Is this where The Godfather was filmed? It's so luxurious! Can Director Chen Qi and his team afford to rent such a large venue?"

Led by the King Slayer, the Penguin Logistics team also came to the place where Chen Qi and his team were filming. This was a rather large manor, and when they just arrived at the manor, they found that there were many vehicles parked in front of the manor, and many Lupers in suits and leather shoes gathered in the manor.

This whole manor of Lupert made the girls from Penguin Logistics, except Texas, feel a little out of place. Kong, who had the lowest combat power among the group, also said timidly:

"There are so many people... Are they all members of the Mafia? What are they doing gathering here?"

"Looks like they're here to attend a wedding?" Texas, as expected of a former family member, quickly made a judgment about the current situation and said calmly:

"From the layout and the clothes everyone is wearing, it's obvious that the daughter of a patriarch of a certain family is getting married. It's a very standard Syracuse-style wedding."

"Really? Although there aren't many white lace designs, there are a lot of flower decorations."

Texas' explanation made everyone at Penguin Logistics understand the current situation immediately. Croissant also felt strange when he heard it and couldn't help asking:

"But why did Director Chen Qi come here? This doesn't look like a place to film."

"Maybe Director Chen Qi was invited to attend the wedding." Texas didn't find it strange. As a former family member, she knew very well that family weddings were, to a large extent, just events held in the name of weddings. Apart from those who truly enjoyed the wedding, most people just took the opportunity of the wedding to ask for help.

"The Syracusans will not refuse anyone's request on their daughter's wedding day - this is the Syracusan custom. Director Chen Qi came here either as a guest or invited. After all, many families I know like to have some interests with artists."

"Or... he may have asked someone from some family to do something. Unfortunately, I haven't been back to Syracuse for a long time, so I don't know which family's territory this is."

"It's really Texas..."

Texas' words also made everyone at Penguin Logistics feel terrified. Although the wedding scene was harmonious, after hearing what Texas said, they felt that there was no festive feeling at all in this wedding. Instead, it was filled with a sense of concealment that washed away the darkness...

"...Don't stay too long. Someone might recognize us. Let's go find Director Chen Qi quickly." Texas said calmly. He was the first to follow the King Slayer's footsteps, and the others followed immediately.

As Kong followed carefully with fear, she heard a mafia member muttering to himself not far away:

"Twenty or thirty thousand dollars in bills, all in cash...filling that little velvet purse."

"If this were someone else's wedding...this would be bad luck."

However, such mumbling fell into the ears of Sora, whose real race was Carters, and she subconsciously turned her head. Only then did she discover that the gloomy-looking mafia's eyes were staring greedily at the bag of the bride's gift money not far away.

And at that moment, Kong felt that he completely understood the ruthlessness and cruelty of the Mafia - if it was really as that person said, if it wasn't a Mafia family wedding, what kind of tragedy would have happened? !

Kong didn't dare to think, so she had to follow everyone with her head down. What she didn't notice was that the air beside her flashed a bit of unnatural blur the moment she passed by.

……

"This is it." The King Slayer led everyone to a room on the second floor of the manor. However, along the way, everyone in Penguin Logistics felt that this was probably the home of the unknown owner of the house.

Because along the way, everyone saw a lot of children running and playing, and on the other side there were a lot of women cooking delicious food for the wedding. They looked so happy, young and old, and it felt like a family.

When the King Slayer led everyone to the door of the room, he naturally stepped aside. The cheerful Archangel was about to go forward and knock on the door without thinking too much, but was grabbed by Texas.

"Shh, someone is talking inside." Texas made a shushing gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said softly:

"This should be the office of the patriarch of this family. Someone is asking for help inside. Don't disturb them."

"Can I hear what they are saying?" Exia, who had always been curious about the mysterious mafia, asked in a low voice. When Exia said this, Croissant and Sora showed the same expression.

Texas didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing, and the three women then carefully put their ears to the door. This time, even the emperor who was originally anxious to see Chen Qi, who was held by Croissant, was silent, as if he saw through something.

Soon, they heard a voice coming from the house, which came from someone asking for help.

However, the first words of the person asking for help made Texas, a former member of the Mafia family, frown immediately.

“I believe in Columbia.”

"Colombia helped me make my fortune, and I raised my daughter according to Colombian customs. I gave her freedom, but also taught her to never bring shame to the family."

"She has a boyfriend who is not from Syracuse. She went to the movies with him and came home very late. I had no objection."

"——Is this really a request for help? It feels like a friend chatting about family matters." After hearing what the person inside said, the Angel of Power couldn't help but look up and whisper to everyone:

"But isn't this Syracuse? Why are the people here talking about Columbia?"

Texas: "When Colombia first gained independence, many Syracuse people went to Colombia to help pioneer, so there are traces of the Syracuse family in many places in Colombia."

"I guess this gentleman inside is one of the pioneers. His Colombian language has a strong Syracuse flavor."

Texas' voice was soft and indifferent. After all, she was still young when her family was destroyed, and she spent her childhood in Syracuse, so compared to Colombia, she actually felt more at home in Syracuse.

Therefore, Texas actually felt a little contempt for people like the gentleman who asked for help, who had forgotten their homeland. She also knew very well that it would be difficult for this gentleman to get the support of the head of the family.

But...Texas also felt something was wrong at this moment. Why would a Colombian run all the way back to Syracuse to seek help from a local family? Aren't there many families in Colombia?

However, although he felt strange, Texas still did not speak, but just listened silently. Soon, the voice of someone asking for help came from the house, and the other party's voice seemed to become a little sad and angry:

"Two months ago, he and another boy took her for a ride. They tricked her into drinking whiskey in an attempt to take advantage of her."

"She resisted and kept her virginity."

"But they beat them like animals."

When the person seeking help reached this point, his tone began to tremble with anger. At this moment, the four girls from Penguin Logistics outside the door could all feel the long-suppressed anger coming from this father.

"When I got to the hospital, her nose was broken - her jaw was shattered and had to be held together with wires."

"She couldn't even cry because of the pain..."

"But I cried. Why did I cry? She was the apple of my eye. She was very beautiful, but she would never be beautiful again..."

Soon, the sound of the father sobbing was heard in the room, which made everyone outside the door feel softened and couldn't help but pursed their lips.

"How tragic... That girl is so pitiful."

After hearing this, Sora couldn't help but speak. For a moment, Croissant and Exiah nodded. The three kind girls couldn't imagine such a scene.

"If I ever see that bastard, I will use my gun to make him unable to be a man for the rest of his life!" Although the Archangel who believes in the Lateran doctrine has a strong desire for destruction, he has the strongest sense of justice among the lawless four members of Penguin Logistics. He said indignantly at the moment.

"So, this person is here to seek help from the head of this family, asking him to teach those two thugs a lesson?" Croissant roughly guessed the other party's intention.

"I would definitely do this kind of thing even if I don't get paid!" Angel also echoed in a serious tone, but Kong had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the silent Texas and asked:

"Texas, do you think...will this family head help?"

Texas: "...I don't know. Normally, the Syracusans wouldn't refuse anyone's request on this day."

"That's good." Kong heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, however, Texas couldn't bear to break the fantasies of her companions. She knew that the person asking for help would most likely be kicked out - if it was in her former family, this would have happened.

However, there is still a glimmer of hope... Texas can only pray that the gentleman in the house does not say the wrong thing. Perhaps in this way, the unknown owner will generously help him since the other party does not know the rules.

Soon, the voice from inside the house was heard again, but the father's next words made Texas' prayers fall into vain.

"I, I called the police like a law-abiding Colombian."

“The two boys were brought to court for trial.”

"……Hopeless."

At this moment, even Texas couldn't help but sigh, feeling helpless for the gentleman in the room who didn't know the rules. Her voice made the other three partners turn their heads and ask:

"No hope? Why?"
