Now, Texas has even completely abandoned the script, and all the reactions on the scene can be said to be what Texas himself would do when facing such a crisis.
There was no equipment or camera crew at the scene. Although the hospital was silent, it was full of crisis. Texas was isolated and helpless, and everything around him made his brain work at high speed, thinking about the best solution.
At this moment, Texas felt as if he were standing in his own shoes on the eve of his family's destruction - if that day came, he was really as old as he is now and had the ability to protect his family, what would he do?
Now, Texas feels that she has the answer, and even if she is alone, she will do her best to prevent all this from happening.
Soon, Texas got its first foreign aid - a Syracuse man named "Enzo" who claimed to have been helped by his father.
"If there's any trouble, I'll stay and help you, for your father, your father."
That was the first time Texas realized the value of the connections and help left by his father. It is ironic that the police, who symbolize justice, are in cahoots with the Mafia, while a poor man who was helped by the Mafia knows how to repay the favor and even risks his life to repay the favor.
"Wait for me outside the door, please. I'll be down in a moment."
Texas told Enzo that what she had to do now was to protect her father as much as possible. Enzo guarding outside the door might also make the other party afraid to act rashly...
Thinking of this, Texas returned to the ward and looked at Mrs. Sicily at this moment, but met her slightly opened hazy and tired eyes.
Texas didn't know when Lady Sicily woke up, but she seemed to no longer regard the old woman in front of her as Lady Sicily...
As if to comfort the regret in his heart, Texas felt like he was doing something he had never done before and wanted to do his best - protecting his family.
"Rest well, Dad. I'll take care of you. I'll be with you."
Texas held the old hand of Lady Sicily, speaking softly but firmly. At this moment, Lady Sicily, whose makeup made her look ten years older, did not speak, but only smiled with satisfaction.
The old man who had just escaped from danger of life did not have the strength to speak, but when a turbid tear fell from his eyes, the relief and slight reluctance in Mrs. Sicily's smile were enough to make Texas more determined.
She will protect her family at all costs.
What Texas didn't know was that her current performance had already subtly convinced Lady Sicily that both the role Texas played and herself were the most suitable person to be the current "Godfather".
Before Texas came, he also received the news that Lady Sicily had been "assassinated". It can be said that after a period of panic, it took Siye a short time to recover his general demeanor. He performed well, but was still a little short of Lady Sicily's standards.
As for Giovanna… being her second daughter in the movie, she was frightened by this sudden situation and was clearly unqualified.
Texas was the only one who calmed down first when everyone was acting unprepared and casually. Rather than saying that she integrated into the role, it would be better to say that she was a person of a similar type to the character.
"The successor of the family... it's a pity that he is not my child. Otherwise, with such a successor, there would be nothing I couldn't let go of."
After Texas left, Mrs. Sicily murmured a few words softly. At this moment, a wonderful idea came into her mind.
She had no children in her life, and the Sicily family had no successor. If... a suitable successor could be chosen for the family...
……
At the hospital entrance, Texas and Enzo stood together. What Texas had to do now was to wait for the arrival of the night guard reinforcements and delay the time as much as possible to create an atmosphere that the guards had protected Mrs. Sicily again.
"You'll be fine." Texas comforted Enzo beside her. She was not nervous. Even though she didn't have any weapons with her, her confidence in her own strength made Texas not worry about the assassin's visit.
At this moment, not far away, a car slowly passed by the hospital entrance, and a person inside slightly poked his head out.
Even though it was pitch black and the person was so made up that he was almost unrecognizable, Texas still used her senses to immediately recognize the person in the car - her good friend, Croissant!
No, to be precise, the Croissant in the movie at this moment is no longer the friend that Texas is familiar with. She is a drug lord, someone who assassinated her father, someone she must kill.
If she didn't die, Mrs. Sicily would not be safe. Texas' eyes were icy cold at the moment. He was not looking at his friend, but at Croissant in the car as if he was the murderer of his father.
After a brief eye contact, Croissant showed a rare look of fear and shrank his head slightly. In the end, the car did not stop, but left the hospital directly.
“…You did a great job.”
Texas breathed a sigh of relief, but the actor who played Enzo was terrified. This extra was temporarily hired by Chen Qi, and it was the first time for him to face the fight between mafia gangs so directly. Even though he knew it was an act, he was still frightened by the atmosphere.
Enzo took out a cigarette from his pocket and took out a lighter to take a puff, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even light the lighter. Fortunately, Texas helped him.
"You helped us today, and we will definitely repay you in the future." Texas said this to Enzo beside him, and what broke the atmosphere was a clear sound of sirens.
As the police car approached, Texas pushed Enzo away and walked forward alone. After a few steps, he was quickly controlled by several policemen.
"I thought I had locked you bastards up. What are you doing here?"
In the darkness, only a halo of Sakota could be seen glowing faintly, but even so, the light seemed extremely dim and could not drive away the surrounding darkness at all.
Under the camera, the halo on the head still looked dim, as if foreshadowing the identity of the police officer who was walking over - the made-up Archangel, who walked up to Texas with a serious face.
"Why didn't anyone protect my father?" Texas, who was being held down, stared at the Archangel in front of her. She could hardly recognize the Archangel's face.
Perhaps it was because of the special makeup technique on the halo of Angelica that made Texas subconsciously feel that the person in front of her was not Angelica. Or perhaps, the difference in Angelica's image now was too great, so she was unwilling to believe that the Sakota in front of her was her friend, the lively Angelica.
"——How dare you, a little rascal like you, meddle in my business? I drove them all away, so stay away from the hospital!"
After the voice changer, the Angel of Exiah continued to speak according to the predetermined script: "Someone, take him away!"
"Unless someone protects my father, I won't leave—" Texas tried to break free but failed. He gritted his teeth and said to the Archangel:
"How much money did they pay you to frame my father?"
"—hold him fast, and make him stand firm!"
Texas' words just "angered" Angelica, because according to the script, the police officer she played did accept bribes and removed the Corleone family guards.
However, because of Texas's interference, the other party thought that there was a mistake in her work, so she spent a lot of effort but did not earn a penny.
And now, Texas' words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, directly making the sheriff played by Exiah want to beat someone to vent his anger.
"Sorry, Texas, I'll buy you apple pie after this scene!"
To his friend in front of him, Angel of Death apologized in his heart, but the speed of his punches did not slow down at all.
"boom!"
The quick and dull punch made Texas unable to react, but the punch was solid. However, for Texas of the Luper tribe, Sakta's physical strength was not enough to make her lose consciousness with just one punch.
Therefore, after this punch, Texas did not fall into coma as Chen Qi had planned. She turned her head slightly, and stared at the Archangel in front of her with a pair of cold eyes filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, in Texas' heart, if the person in front of her was not her friend and all this was not an act, then what she had done would be enough to make her die countless times.
At this moment, even the Angel was frightened by Texas in front of him, and he showed a rare timid expression...
"Click! Perfect shot, everything is perfect! Great performance from Exia!"
"Oh, right, medical operator! Hurry up and heal Texas! Inform Robilata! Texas' makeup will have to have a swollen effect!"
In the end, what broke the tranquility was Chen Qi's joyful voice coming from the equipment. All of a sudden, with the appearance of many photographers in secret, the originally tense atmosphere was instantly resolved.
"Texas, are you okay?"
The serious and fierce look of the Angel of Exiah faded away in an instant, and he immediately stepped forward to support Texas. Looking at the bruised Texas from his punch, he clasped his hands together and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you so hard! Texas, you won't blame me, right?"
"This is all part of the acting. I originally wanted to control my strength, but when I threw the punch, I thought about how you, Texas, used the money I earned from apple pies to buy Pocky, and I got a little angry, so I punched too hard. No, no, no, I don't mean to take revenge, really!"
"…I'm fine, Exia, don't worry."
With the help of Mephisto, the wound on Texas's face quickly subsided. She looked at the Archangel in front of her, smiled faintly again, and said to the Archangel:
"I don't care about this kind of thing, Angel. Let's finish this scene and prepare to go back."
"Oh, really, really?"
When Angel Exalt heard that Texas didn't blame him, he felt relieved immediately - but at this moment, Angel Exalt didn't understand Texas' smile.
Generally speaking, a smile of relief only appears in two places: one is when past grudges are resolved... and the other is when the dead are the greatest and everything ends.
Yes, even if Texas hadn't read the script, she knew that the character of Angelica would definitely die.
Moreover, the person who will take revenge with his own hands will definitely be me. Sooner or later, I will take revenge for this punch.
Chapter 13: Texas "shoots" Angelica and Croissant
"What's most important to me is that no one is trying to threaten my father's life."
"How can I promise you, Mike? I'm the one being hunted now!"
A long time passed after the assassination of Lady Sicily, and during this time, the crew's work went quite smoothly - especially and most importantly, after the Godfather was gone, everyone's performances in the family scenes were excellent.
What satisfied Chen Qi the most was that even though everyone had just established some feelings, because of the lack of an important person, they suddenly ran out of topics to talk about and the atmosphere was filled with solemnity. This was what Chen Qi hoped everyone could show.
Now, the play has reached the first breaking point of the plot. Now, Mike, played by Texas, and the drug lord Sollozzo, played by Croissant, are negotiating in a restaurant. Because Sollozzo's plan to assassinate the Godfather was retaliated by the family, he had to bribe the sheriff played by Archangel to be his bodyguard and negotiate with the Corleone family represented by Mike.
But what she didn't know was that this time, Mike never intended to negotiate. This time, he wanted to eliminate the trouble once and for all and kill Sollozzo so that his father would be safe.
"You overestimate me, kid." At this moment, Croissant, who plays Sollozzo, really looks like a vicious and treacherous drug lord with no moral bottom line through makeup. She did not promise to let the Godfather go, and said to Texas:
"I'm not that capable. All I want is a truce."
This one sentence made Croissant feel as if he was the victim. At this moment, in front of the invisible camera, Texas' eyes were so cold.
At this time, Texas had just taken out the firearms that her family had hidden long ago from the bathroom. At such a close distance, she could guarantee to kill the two people in front of her with just one shot.
She seemed to be hesitant, her eyes were wandering, as if she was nervous because it was her first time to kill someone at such a close distance... But in fact, she just cared a little that the people she shot were her friends in real life.
Texas was still trying to convince himself that he was just acting. The man in front of him... was not the slightly greedy Croissant in Penguin Logistics, but a heinous drug lord in the movies.
And the other one wasn't an Angel either... he was a nasty policeman in cahoots with the Mafia, with no justice, no morals, and a guy who nearly dislocated her jaw with one punch.
I must kill them, I must!
"call!"
But in the end, Texas made up her mind. With a fierce look in her eyes, she stood up suddenly, raised the gun in her hand, and aimed at the dazed Croissant.
"boom!"
With a gunshot, Texas "shot" his friend in front of him without hesitation. On the other side, Exia, who was playing the role of sheriff, seemed to have not reacted yet, and Texas' gun was already pointed at her.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two more gunshots rang out, one hitting his throat and the other hitting his forehead. The Archangel also fell down immediately, overturning a table of food and wine, and fell to the ground powerlessly.
At this moment, Texas, who had not yet recovered from the trauma of "shooting" her friend, was unusually flustered. She walked quickly toward the door with a stiff body, and dropped her weapon belatedly. All her actions were the reactions of someone who had killed someone for the first time.
Outside the door, with the arrival of a car, Texas immediately got into the car and fled the scene. With this, the scene came to an end.
"Ka! Very good! Texas! You acted really well. I was worried that you might be too skilled in acting and it didn't seem like this was your first time killing someone. Sure enough, letting someone familiar play the villain made your reaction closer to the script."
At this moment, with Chen Qi's voice, all the filming personnel and equipment appeared together, and the croissant and the sheriff who were shot by Texas took off the blood bags under the fake skin with a smile on their faces.
"Everyone is having a nice meal today, paid for by the crew, everyone, don't miss it!"
"Okay!"
Following Chen Qi's words, all the members of the Integrated Art Troupe who were tired after a day of work and were still working overtime at night, cheered in excitement.
On the other side, the panic on Texas' face had just dissipated. He looked at Croissant who was removing his makeup with makeup remover and walked towards him, and he couldn't help but speak hesitantly:
"…Croissant, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's Texas. It was your eyes that scared me when you were acting just now." Croissant wiped off the makeup on her face with a wet towel. She was just acting for fun, but she also said to Texas jokingly:
"When you pointed your gun at me just now, Texas, I really felt like you wanted to kill me in your eyes."
"But you certainly won't kill me, right, Texas?" Croissant waved her hand nonchalantly. However, as she was just joking, she didn't get an immediate answer from Texas. She subconsciously turned her head and found that Texas was looking at her with a thankful look.
"…Croissant, luckily this is all just acting."
"what?"
"——If all this is not the plot arranged in the movie, if you really arranged to assassinate my 'father', if you are really an unforgivable drug lord... Even if you are my friend, I will definitely kill you."
Texas said this, and the pressure that had been accumulating in his heart was relieved a lot. He smiled at the confused Croissant and said:
"Come on, let's go have a drink together."
"——Hey! Texas! What did you mean by that just now?! You don't really want to kill me, do you?!"
"I, at most I just lent you a little more money and forced you to buy and sell some unsalable goods. There's no need to be so cruel, right? Texas! Texas!!"
However, what Texas said just now made Croissant feel uneasy. She felt that what Texas said was absolutely true. If she was really the same kind of person as Sollozzo, the character she played, Texas would definitely kill her.
But it is true that although Croissant is greedy for money, she knows that a gentleman should make money in a proper way. Even if she were to resell the goods, she would not overcharge the customers. She usually earns pocket money by setting up a small stall and doing legitimate business. At most, she does not have a business license.
But today, Texas' words definitely sounded a wake-up call to Croissant, and she would never have anything to do with Sollozzo's behavior in her life.
On the other side, Angelica got up from the ground only to realize what was happening later. There was an unsatisfied expression on her face, and it was obvious that she was not satisfied with her role just now.
It's over already? She was so excited and thought that she and Texas would have a gunfight in this small restaurant, but how come it's over already?
No, there must be something wrong! Angel of Power stood up from the ground, stared at the direction where Chen Qi left, and secretly followed him with great dissatisfaction in his heart.
……
After the filming was finished, Chen Qi did not go to Croissants' wrap party right away, but went to see Lady Sicily first - during this time, Lady Sicily could have a few days to relax because of the assassination scene in the plot.
