Chapter 1045 - 1017: From the Invisible (1)

Xiao Lin chuckled. "What if this time it’s about power issues? Or, to put it more broadly, it’s about political power. Is the fate of Sicily something you, a man of justice, can settle? I don’t care which country you’re standing with, my task is simple: uncover the mastermind and bring the Wang Brothers back to the country for punishment. Kill them if necessary."

Political power! Chopin watched the distant figure, entangled with beasts, and at this moment, he truly pondered!

Shao Weihua came from Yanjing, from the central government. This information seemed accessible from various channels. From the beginning, he never included this person in his scope, even somewhat suspicious of his identity. How could senior leadership’s discreet actions be used in such a way?

Secondly, the Wang Brothers, who spread the news, were more active and running in the dark underworld, paving the way with gold to gather support. The Rose Staff appeared for the first time at the suburban mansion, promising Nicholas his allegiance while the police captured most of the Sicilian underworld, removing Chinese influence.

Now, Chinatown has become a place without a leader. However, on the day Troy was settled, someone took over Chinatown. Those rebellious leaders were either beheaded and hung at the city entrance overnight or had their hearts dug out, dying gruesomely, shocking the Chinese mafia in Sicily. An eye for an eye form of justice is taking shape.

In other words, it’s no longer a face-to-face situation. When did it evolve into this state? Xiao Lin, why do you want to reclaim Sin City and let a woman come forward? This isn’t your style. Or do you have other plans, giving Nicholas three months, and now more than half a month has passed, yet you still hide like a small worm.

A sigh came from behind Chopin, and Antonio, seemingly deliberately, imitated his master’s gaze, looking at the distant figure. "Sir, I think you’re inviting trouble, and trouble has indeed arrived at the doorstep. Someone just left this at our door for that gentleman." Antonio shook the black invitation card in his hand, embossed with a bloodied crow.

"Black Crow?"

"The name already indicates he’s not a good person! Sir, I think you should let them leave as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Send the invitation to them, and prepare the car, today’s activities have quite a lot."

"Yes!"

At the same time Xiao Lin received the ’Black Crow’ invitation, at the 13th corner building in New York, Nicholas also received this invitation. He glanced at the big clock in the study; this man, who usually liked to act at night, seemed to have suddenly changed. He had an hour to shower and dress, then wait to be picked up, waiting to be butchered!

Hahaha! Nicholas suddenly burst into laughter; he might be the most unfortunate Mafia Godfather so far.

"Young Master, it’s safer to stay at the mansion today." Murphy frowned at Nicholas’s laughter.

"Why? I think tonight’s going to be an interesting party, and the location is ’Bessade,’ which is an even more dreamy place than my ’Remonda."

"But you should know that all the police have been dispatched this morning. They diligently locked their target on the ’Bessade’ you praised. Do you know what that means?"

"Murphy, are you trying to tell me it’s a conspiracy between the police and the civilians?" Nicholas looked at Murphy with interest. "Then I shouldn’t carry any weapons, apart from my identity, I’m a good citizen, a taxpayer!"

Murphy rolled his eyes at Nicholas helplessly; his master could always turn his meanings upside down. "I think you can attend wearing that black suit tonight, then you won’t need to bring any weapons and can become their hornet’s nest target!"

After hearing Murphy’s words, Nicholas laughed even more happily; he’s an interesting guy.

July 31st! 10 o’clock! Bessade!

This time was still early for the renowned night club in Palermo, yet someone got up early to clean and tidy the place anew.

Nicholas hadn’t met the lackey who came to pick him up; he returned out of curiosity. ’Bessade’ is a property of the Lucchesi Clan, but it falls under his management. This Mr. Shao is indeed daring! He snorted coldly in his heart, but out of courtesy, he tidied up his clothes before entering ’Bessade’.

"God, Godfather?" Montiel gaped in shock as Nicholas walked in from outside, clearly unaware of who the big figure arriving today was.

"Montiel, looks like I’m the earliest one to arrive." Nicholas guessed a bit from his expression.

"I, I didn’t know it was you today..."

"Montiel, there’s no need to be surprised. We are open for business, aren’t we? Should we just ignore the money?"

"I’ll go inform Mr. Lucchesi right away." Montiel looked flustered, like a timid mouse.

"No need for that. I want you to keep your mouth shut about this, tightly shut." Nicholas followed the escorting subordinate up to a private room on the second floor. This place had been remodeled, seemingly set up according to the client’s request with a small stage, a large projection screen, and computer equipment, as if a multi-party video conference was about to take place.

Finding the most comfortable position to sit, Nicholas closed his eyes and didn’t open them until someone else sat down next to him.

The timing was perfect; people entered the room one after another very quietly. Nicholas relied on his hearing and slowly opened his eyes after the last person took their seat, seeing Xiao Lin’s enlarged smiling face which was so handsome that one couldn’t look directly at it. "You really don’t have any mixed blood?"

"Shouldn’t you show a surprised reaction before speaking? That’s the polite thing to do." Xiao Lin reclined back into his chair with a smile, playing around with his fingers somewhat bored.

"To show no trace of emotion is an old Chinese saying. I was just curious that you were also among those invited."

"I really must thank Mr. Shao for allowing me to appear in the sunlight legitimately, rather than being chased like a criminal by the director!" Xiao Lin stared at Director Mo Luo, who sat at the farthest point and was the last to enter the private room. The people invited today genuinely baffled him.

"Your good brother is among these people. Doesn’t it feel unpleasant to be betrayed? Enemies meet with particularly intense emotions!"

"The word ’betrayal’ is not quite appropriate here. We simply have different paths and don’t conspire together, it’s just different personal stances."

Xiao Lin’s response was always the same. He neither denied Hua Qingyi’s betrayal nor admitted that there was indeed a significant disagreement between them, making it difficult for others to understand.

So, Nicholas stopped speaking. They two were sitting in the last row, with Hua Qingyi seated in the front row to his left. In the middle were two people who didn’t quite seem to be part of the underworld, more like government officials or businessmen.

At the end by the door was Palermo Police Station Director Mo Luo, with a chair on that small stage placed sideways at the very edge. Nicholas chuckled lightly, a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth. How much did this person love to be watched?

It seemed that Shao Weihua’s delayed arrival wasn’t welcomed by some, evident by the way the two in the middle began whispering.

Suddenly the room lights dimmed, and the screen hanging in the middle lit up clearly. Someone whispered a remark, bringing out quiet laughter from several people.

"Damn, doing things just like the person himself." That remark was fitting indeed.

After some adjustments on the screen, the Mayor of Palermo first appeared in front of the six people’s eyes, looking a bit uneasy. "Ladies and gentlemen, as leaders from various sectors, I am very grateful for the opportunity to have such a face-to-face exchange with you here today. This opportunity was especially made possible thanks to the thoughtful arrangement by Mr. Shao Weihua."

"Do you notice that Mr. Mayor is sweating quite a bit?" Nicholas gently nudged Xiao Lin’s left arm with his elbow.

"I think today will be even more anticipated than the last suburban estate meeting."

"I assume you all have heard the rumors about Sin City in this city. I am committed to creating a peaceful and stable social environment. Of course, I am very thankful to those able to help us eradicate Sin City, but the vacancy on this land, I hope to be filled by people from all walks of life. Now, the rumors spreading in this city, I want to clarify them here." The mayor suddenly coughed and picked up the water on the table, but failed to bring it up to his mouth no matter how hard he tried, eventually giving up and setting the glass down. At this moment, Hua Qingyi quietly turned his head to look at Xiao Lin, subconsciously turning his head. "I want to clarify: Sin City still belongs to the government, and there is no purchase or takeover by any woman."

The screen suddenly switched to black, and the light in the room focused solely on the stage. Shao Weihua walked out from the background, sat boldly on that chair.

"I suppose you’ve all heard the mayor’s clarification just now. With our Young Master Xiao’s help, Sin City has been eradicated entirely across the city, but the subsequent business still needs all of you to put forth effort."

"Mr. Shao, are you representing the Mayor of Palermo?" asked the two men in the middle, sounding rather arrogant. "The mayor just made a clarification, but he didn’t commission you to handle this investment affair."

"Indeed, and we’re still not quite familiar with this Sin City. Even if investment were to be made, it would be better for the Mafia to take over, wouldn’t it? I heard the place is rather chaotic now. Director Mo Luo has personally seen that woman there, right? The mayor’s denial isn’t convincing!" (To be continued.
