"...Whether in Syracuse or in Columbia, the Syracuse people can only rely on the protection of their own families." Texas also explained at this moment:
"Those who stand on the side of the law are destined to be in opposition to the family. In the eyes of the Syracusans, the law is to give the family's 'business' a civilized and legal coat."
"Therefore, if anyone has anything to do with the law, he will definitely not be tolerated by the family."
"The gentleman in the room, I'm afraid his wish will not come true."
Texas said this, and couldn't help but take out another Pocky and put it in her mouth. She hesitated, but she couldn't feel any sympathy for the poor father in the house...
As a Syracuse, he hoped that the laws of Colombia could protect him, and instead gave up the protection of his family. So, now he came to seek help from his family, obviously the legal judgment did not let him get what he wanted.
But unfortunately, the family will not provide assistance to a "traitor" who does not help the family. Texas knows this, so he feels regretful.
Texas himself didn't even know that he had unknowingly "entered the play", a play that he hadn't even noticed.
Chapter 6: The filming site of the famous scene, you don't even want to call me Godfather
However, Texas outside the house had already made a judgment about the person seeking help inside the house, and everything that happened next seemed to really verify Texas' words.
All he heard was the father in the room finish his plea, which was nothing more than asking the other party to teach the two hooligans who bullied his daughter a lesson. Soon, a voice with a big tongue, hoarse and vicissitudes, but a voice that Texas felt was a little familiar, replied without a trace of emotion:
“…I can’t do that.”
"We have known each other for many years, but this is the first time you have come to me for help. I can't remember the last time you invited me to your house for coffee."
"Although my wife is godmother to your only daughter,--to be honest, you never wanted my friendship; you were afraid of being indebted to me."
"But I understand you." At this moment, the godfather in the room changed his words and said in a nonchalant tone:
"You think Colombia is a paradise, your business is booming, you are doing well, the police and the courts protect you, and you don't need a friend like me."
"But now you come to me and say, 'Don Corleone, please do me justice'... You have no respect for me. You don't treat me as a friend."
"You don't even want to call me 'Godfather'."
"Then you found me on the day of my daughter's wedding and bribed me to kill someone?"
However, the Godfather's words had just fallen, and his attitude was clearly stated. At this moment, the Godfather's temperament was immediately revealed, so that no one in the audience rushed to interrupt him, even though his voice was not loud, but it was resounding.
However, after a while, the women outside the door broke free from this strange tense atmosphere, and the Angel said with some dissatisfaction:
"Why is this guy like this? It's just been a while since we last had coffee. If he likes it, I can just ask him to drink until he pukes. Why is this guy so cold-blooded?"
"——Because this kind of thing happens frequently in Syracuse." Texas expressed a different opinion at this moment. After all, as a former member of the family, he had experience in this area. He said lightly:
"The order of Syracuse is maintained by the family's rules. Of course, not everyone knows and abides by these rules. Therefore, when someone attacks someone under the protection of the family, the family members will appear to solve the problem."
"But there is a prerequisite. He has to admit that he is under the protection of the family. This means that you need to repay the family's kindness at some point in time."
"This is also the reason why the head of the family rejected the other party. What he wanted was the other party's respect, friendship, and... 'recognition', but the father obviously did not want to have anything to do with the family."
"Obviously, this person is already a very experienced family head. He is very skilled in this process."
"Then, is there no other way to make the master change his mind?" Kong felt a little bit reluctant. She found that Texas was eating Pocky faster and faster, just like smoking one cigarette after another, using this method to suppress his emotions.
"...Yes, that is, you admit that you are a citizen under his protection." Texas nodded after a moment of silence and continued:
"But being involved with the family is very dangerous. It means stepping into darkness. In the future, when the family needs you to help with your life, you will not have the power to refuse."
"...This is the 'civilization' of the Mafia. They are dressed in the guise of civilization but do the work of gangsters. They are a 'civilized gangster'."
At this point, even someone as calm as Texas, who is used to all of this, cannot hide her disgust for it all. She does not recognize such "civilization", and even more so does not recognize laws that cannot protect most people. She actually needs families to maintain the "rules" to run a country.
However, it was obvious that the father in the house was unaware of these rules. He just suppressed his fear and continued to plead:
"Please do me justice."
"That's not fair. Your daughter is still alive." The godfather's tone was already beginning to sound a little impatient.
"——Then let those bastards have a taste of what my daughter has suffered!" The father summoned up all his courage, and in the end, he said the most wrong thing:
"How much should I pay you?"
"..."
For a moment, the originally harmonious atmosphere became dangerous the moment this sentence was uttered. At this moment, even though there was no echo in the house, the four women outside the house all smelled a threat to their lives.
This was a sign that the head of a family had been insulted, and if the head of a family was insulted, then in Syracuse, there was only one outcome for him, and that was death.
At this moment, Texas, who was the first to react, almost subconsciously placed his palm on the blade of his sword, and then slowly released it, as if hesitating whether he should intervene.
But Exiah, Croissant and Sora didn't think so much. Exiah raised her two submachine guns almost immediately; Croissant also put down the emperor in his arms and placed his palm on the hammer handle at his waist; Sora, who had the least fighting power, also took a few steps back immediately, ready to save people at any time.
Everyone felt that death would break out in an instant, but after a strange silence, what everyone heard was an extremely helpless tone coming from the godfather in the house.
"Bonasera, Bonasera..."
"What have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"
The cold murderous intent emanating from the Godfather dissipated almost instantly, and what remained was sincere persuasion, as if he was not the one who wanted to kill just now. He just said lightly:
“If you came to me as a friend, the scum who insulted your daughter would cry more sadly than you today.”
"If an honest person like you is unlucky enough to make enemies, then they are also my enemies."
"…then they will be afraid of you."
"...your friend?" The father named "Bonasera" had a slightly trembling voice and did not answer immediately, but at this moment, everyone could hear that his tone was full of complete surrender.
Sure enough, after just a moment, the father seemed to have lost his soul and called out in a trembling voice:
"…GodFather."
With a gentle kiss on the hand, everything returned to calm. After that, the godfather, with a tone full of kingly majesty, only uttered two words:
"……very good."
"One day, and maybe that day will never come, I will ask you to repay me."
"Until that day, consider this justice as a gift for my daughter's wedding."
"Thank you, Godfather." For the first time, Bonasera's tone was filled with joy.
"You're welcome." The godfather replied nonchalantly. At this moment, the four girls outside the door immediately knew that someone was about to come out, and they all retreated to other places as soon as possible.
As the door opened, before everyone from Penguin Logistics could completely hide themselves, suddenly, a young voice that did not belong to the original solemn atmosphere broke the heavy atmosphere and said:
"Cut! Good! This one passed! A long shot that lasts from beginning to end. Mrs. Sicily did a great job!"
As these words fell, in front of everyone from Penguin Logistics, the originally silent manor suddenly became filled with many noises.
Soon, one figure after another appeared from nowhere. Not only people, but also many photographic and recording equipment appeared, making the Penguin Logistics team, who had just arrived, feel confused.
"What's going on?" Croissant asked subconsciously, and at this moment, the emperor, who had been unable to hold back any longer, immediately cursed:
"Idiot, can't you see? They are filming a play! Filming! Everything in the room just now was an act!"
"What's wrong with you? You can't see such a simple thing? They are wearing 'Fedia' brand see-through suits that can blend into the environment, and they are using matching equipment, but you can't see it?"
"Especially you! Exia! As a sniper operator, you can't even see through such a simple disguise? Your salary will be cut in half this month!"
"No, boss!"
However, with the wailing of the Archangel, Texas was undoubtedly the most shocked person in the group. She did not expect that the conversation that she thought was so real and there was no sense of incongruity was just a part of the script?
Texas was even more surprised by the name he had just called... Lady Sicily? Could she... have also become one of the actors in the crew?
How can this be? !
Texas couldn't believe that such a thing would happen. However, as the door opened, he saw Mrs. Sicily, who was dressed as a man, had pulled off her wig, and walking out beside her was the familiar figure of Chen Qi, who Texas was familiar with.
"Ah, it looks like my 'little son' is finally here?" Mrs. Sicily recognized Texas when she first saw him, but her tone was not so majestic, but more of a teasing tone.
"Mrs. Sicily..." Texas' eyes were a little absent-minded, and soon, she saw the two people behind Mrs. Sicily, and subconsciously called out:
"Leontuso Bellone? The young master of the Bellone family?"
"And Lavinia? City-state judges, you..."
"Is it Cellinina Texas?" The young Lupert, also known as Leontuso, nodded, greeting the last descendant of Texas, and said lightly:
"Now it seems that we are in the same situation. We are both 'sons of the Godfather' now."
"Correction, I can still call you my daughter." Lavinia answered with her eyes closed. After looking at Texas, she continued:
"Also, remember to use the code name when you are on the set, Shiye. Also, you have to call me by my code name, Chizui."
"...I didn't expect that Director Chen Qi could gather so many members of the Mafia family, and each of them is so important."
After being slightly shocked, Texas turned his gaze to Chen Qi, who was smiling at the moment. After a long while, a smile appeared on Texas' face, and he chuckled and said:
"...It seems like I have no reason to refuse now?"
"This is an offer that cannot be refused, Miss Texas." Chen Qi also took over Texas' words, took the initiative to step forward and shook hands with Texas, and said with excitement in his tone:
"Welcome to become a member of our big family."
"A big family... that's good too. At least it's better than killing people with a knife." Texas did not refuse and nodded respectfully to Chen Qi. Now Texas had to admit that she was "conquered" by Chen Qi.
It is amazing that a director could get the support of so many families, even Lady Sicily, and he united the twelve families of Syracuse with just one script. This talent... made Texas admire it.
In a sense, Chen Qi has done something that none of the twelve families could do. Texas feels that it is his luck to be able to participate in such a widely recognized movie.
"Hahahahahaha! Even you are conquered? Texas?"
"Then it looks like I have no choice but to join this big family and get involved!"
At this moment, a slightly crazy voice sounded in everyone's head. The next moment, a white figure fell down in an instant and stood in front of Chen Qi and Texas.
Lapland finally showed up, and now she has made a decision, a decision that is more meaningful than making a mess of Syracuse.
She will also participate in the filming of this movie and contribute her own "strength" to the movie.
Chapter 7: The highlight right at the beginning? Siye's "wedding sex scene"?
"Lapland?!"
Texas had never expected to meet Lappland here. Although she had long been accustomed to the fact that Lappland would follow her wherever she went... she had never expected to run into each other in Syracuse, the homeland that neither of them wanted to return to.
However, Lappland's appearance here was not a good sign. Texas, who knew about Lappland's crazy ideas, asked nervously:
"Lappland, what are you doing here? You are not planning to... launch a devastating massacre against the family here, are you?"
"Hahaha! As expected of Texas, you really understand me." Lapland laughed her signature laugh upon hearing this. However, under the gaze of everyone, Lapland did not raise the two corona-shaped swords hanging from her waist. Instead, she restrained her smile and said:
"If it was ten minutes ago, I might have had such an idea, but now, after watching the scene directed by Chen Qi like you, I changed my mind."
"Especially when you were planning to take part in the film, Texas, I became even more determined! I want to have a role in this film too!"
"...You? You're also going to act in the movie directed by Chen Qi?"
However, Lappland's words made the originally nervous Texas look confused. Not only her, but even Shiye and Chizuan, who saw Lappland's appearance and thought that she might be harmful to Lady Sicily, found it a little unbelievable.
Because they all knew the true identity of Laplande. She was originally the eldest daughter of the Saluzzo family, but eventually became a traitor to the family. She also sneered at the "civilization" of Syracuse, but her method of changing Syracuse was more radical...
And now, she actually proposed to participate in the performance of "The Godfather"? It is hard not to wonder if she has other purposes.
However, Lapland didn't care about everyone's reaction. He turned around and walked straight towards Chen Qi, performed an elegant Syracuse salute, and chuckled:
"Long time no see, Director Chen Qi. We met once in Longmen. Do you remember? I am very impressed by you. You have great potential to be a good director. I admire your screenwriting ability even more."
"Today, I have to say that you have opened my eyes again. The family rules are displayed vividly in your movie. I am enjoying it very much, right?"
Chen Qi: "...And then you gave our first movie one star?"
"Hahaha! Don't blame me. I have very high standards for judging movies. Although your movie is good, it is still far from my standards." Lapland felt no guilt about this matter, but the reason why she gave one star was unacceptable to Chen Qi.
So, her judging criteria are just whether there are things related to Texas in the movie? If that's the case, then there aren't many movies in the world that Laplander would give a good review.
"But now is not the time to talk about this." Lapland also restrained his smile and asked Chen Qi in a more serious manner:
"Well, Director Chen Qi, I have a small request regarding the role I want to play. I wonder if you can accept it?"
So you've already assumed that you can definitely join the group? Chen Qi was helpless about Lapland's self-talk, but he had to admit that he really wanted Lapland to join, so he had to signal her to continue.
Laplande: "Just now when I entered the manor, I saw an interesting figure. He looked very familiar, and made me want to stab him in the back."
"So, please fulfill my little wish. Is there any character in this movie who can 'kill' that guy? Then I will play that character."
"Are you talking about the head of the Saluzzo family?" Chen Qi understood what Lappland meant after hearing this. Although he used Lappland to convince her father to take the role, in fact, except for the leading actors with more shots, the actors of other roles can be changed at any time as long as there is someone with a higher family status to replace them.
Facing Lapland's wish, Chen Qi came up with an idea after thinking about it and replied:
"I originally planned to have the head of the Saluzzo family play Tessio, one of the Godfather's right-hand men. In the end, Tessio would be executed by the family for betraying the Godfather, but I didn't plan to design the shot for that scene."
