America's King of Poetry

Chapter 15 Fishing

The yacht floated on the sea, the moon rose after the sun set, and the bright moonlight illuminated the white hull.It was a dark and windy night to kill Arthur, and this was a good time for Casey to kill Arthur, but now it was himself lying on the deck of the cabin.A bullet was shot in the back of the head, and the blood flowed out profusely. The military strategist who liked to pretend just fell to the ground, dead.

He would never have thought that Russell, who took out the gun from his pocket, would be aiming at himself, and he was still muttering: "In two minutes, when it is completely dark, I will do it, right on the berth, and shoot him in the head. Like in 2, the gunman killed Fredo, shot him in the back of the head, and fell into the water..."

Casey was thinking about the scene in "The Godfather 2" where Mike sent someone to kill his brother Fredo on the fishing boat. As soon as the words fell, Russell killed him with a single shot.It was crisp and neat. I don't know if Casey thought at the moment of death that he was that Fredo.

Montolo, who was in the pilothouse on the second floor, heard the movement. He saw that Arthur was sitting on the bow smoking a cigarette and nothing happened. He just wanted to go down to check the situation, but Russell who ran up thumped and punched him in the chin.Montolo yelled "Aww" and passed out all of a sudden.Montolo was short and strong, but he couldn't stand Russell's death hook.

Arthur returned to the cabin after smoking, and saw Casey's body. This was the second body he had seen today.It's only been three days since 1994, shooting, killing, counter-killing, is this life in America?I still feel that life in China is relatively safe and flat.Arthur thought so in his heart, but there was no fluctuation. He asked Russell, "How is Montoro?"

Russell rubbed his left hand and said, "I got punched in the chin and passed out. I won't wake up for a while."

Arthur pointed to Casey's body, and said, "Get rid of it, and call Tony later to tell him the mission is complete."

Russell nodded, dragged Casey's body out of the cabin to the bow, took out the iron ropes and plastic sheets that had been prepared, wrapped Casey up, tied a few lead pendants, and kicked it into the sea. With a "plop", Casey sank into the dark water and became part of the sea, never to see the sun again.

Arthur sat down at the table, poured himself another glass of sherry, and thought while drinking, since there is time travel in this world, it means that people have souls.The soul of Casey, I hope you will be reincarnated as a good person in your next life, or you can be a fish if you fall into the sea.

Arthur has no ill feeling toward Casey, but the family's interest struggle is so ruthless, Casey is Tony's hardcore, it is impossible to take it for his own use, and he is not someone who can read the verses on the card.Only by killing him can Tony be weakened and finally take over the Luciano family again.

After disposing of Casey, Russell called Tony with the satellite phone on the ship, informing Tony that the task had been completed and Arthur was killed.Tony trusted Russell very much, and he had no doubt that this ruthless general had betrayed him, and he had betrayed him thoroughly.Tony must be in a great mood. He told Russell that he was drinking at home and wanted to mourn his "missing" nephew.I hope Russell will be free later and come over for a drink.

Is it a condolence to be missing?I don't care about pretending.

"Okay, I'll be there." Russell replied with the last sentence, and then hung up the phone.

Tony didn't know that Russell had no sense of loyalty to him, let alone any other feelings.He is a dead person, how can he have such troublesome things as feelings?He was just following the guidance of a mysterious instinct, wandering in the wasteland of consciousness, until March came, and April was approaching, when the long-dried lilac flowers broke through the ground.

The meaning of his dead life is to find the lilac flower, under the guidance of Arthur.As for everything else, it doesn't matter to him.

Montolo gradually woke up, and Russell's punch made him dizzy. After all, he was too old to bear the beating.When he was on the street, he could withstand the old fists of four or five people and fight back. He has a short and thick neck, and he is called "Bulldog".Now he is old and fat, his neck is still thick and short but with a ring of fat, he hasn't fought for a long time, and he hasn't even shot a gun for a long time.

This time Tony insisted that he kill Arthur, he hesitated for a long time but agreed.After all, Luther is a thing of the past. No one knows how to live in the present better than the gangsters. After all, tomorrow or an accident, you never know which will come first.

Montolo woke up completely and found that his hands and feet were tied. He saw Arthur sitting in the cab, smoking a cigarette, looking at the moon through the porthole.The weather is fine tonight, with few clouds and no fog over the sea, and the moon is shining brightly.From March to June every year, Atlantic salmon begin to swim north to spawn, which is a good time for sea fishing.

Tony's yacht is equipped with sea fishing rods and thick fishing lines, which can be used to catch sailfish, swordfish and other large fish weighing hundreds of catties.Of course, he never fished it. The hanging rod and fishing line are just like the patterned shotguns on the wall of the forest cabin, but they are just beautiful decorations.

But tonight Arthur was going to fish with it.

Seeing Montolo waking up, Arthur opened the door of the cab to the roof deck, and then signaled Russell to drag Montolo out.A strong sea fishing rod is fixed at the tail of the roof deck, which is enough to lift a 300-jin marlin. Considering the strong pulling force of the fish itself, one can imagine the weight it can bear.

"Oh, Arthur, Arthur...what the hell happened? What happened? What happened?" Montolo was still confused. Why did Russell side with Arthur?Also, where's Kathy?Thinking of the "bang" gunshot just now, Montolo thought that Casey must have fed the fish.

Arthur ignored it. He walked up to Montolo, took out a poker card from his pocket, and asked Montolo, "Can you see the words on it?"

Arthur wanted to confirm that Montolo was not the owner of the Jack of Diamonds.And Montolo glanced at the back of the playing card in the bright moonlight, it was just an ordinary pattern, and there was no word.He shook his head, his voice was a little trembling, and said: "A...Arthur, I didn't want to kill you, I was hesitating, I was hesitating, your father and I were brothers who went through life and death. Do you remember, when you were young, I visited you and bought you a cream cake..."

Montolo felt that something was wrong. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he knew that Russell must have betrayed Tony.Originally wanted to kill Arthur, but Casey was killed instead, and he was the second.Seeing Montolo shaking his head, Arthur began to tie the fishing line on the sea fishing rod to the nylon rope that bound Montolo, and tied it firmly.

Then, Russell and Arthur supported Montolo and pushed him to the railing. Looking down, there was the sea, which was glowing blue under the moonlight.

"No, no, no, I can't swim, I can't swim!" Montolo shouted, but Arthur didn't care, he pushed hard and pushed Montolo into the sea.With a splash, Montolo fell into the water with a huge splash.

This is a water splash, zero points.

Of course Arthur didn't want to kill Montolo, he just wanted to improve the efficiency of the negotiation.When a person is in fear, his mind will become confused and unable to think. At this time, it is easier for him to tell the truth, and it is not easy to fabricate lies.He pulled up the sea fishing rod and quickly retrieved the fishing line.Montoro struggled in the water, and the fishing line stretched to suspend him in the water so that he would not sink.

"Montoro! How did my father die!" Arthur asked loudly.He still wants to avenge Luthor's revenge, which is why he replaced Tony. The so-called teacher is famous.

"A car accident, it was a car accident, but I don't know what's going on, I have to ask Tony!" Montoro shouted, his voice full of fear and despair.

He was in the deep sea, he couldn't swim, his hands and feet were tied, and his only hope of survival was the thin fishing line tied to his body.Because of the unbalanced force, his body was leaning forward, and he had to lean back hard to ensure that his face was not submerged in the water.Once submerged in water, he would be smothered to death.

This is the most desperate situation in the world. The panic brought by the sea is terrifying just to imagine, let alone being in it.

"Were you involved in the murder of my father?"

"No! I don't!"

"Then you mean that my father was indeed murdered!?" Arthur caught Montoro's words.

Montoro hesitated for three seconds, he couldn't hold it anymore, his back loosened, his whole face was stuffy in the water, and he took two sips of water.The water in the sea was salty and astringent. He coughed non-stop, and mumbled in his mouth: "Yes... yes! Tony... Tony mentioned it once when he was drunk, mentioned it! Pull me, pull me up!"

Arthur knew that it was almost done, so he made a show to Russell, and the two pulled the rod to reel up the line, and "fished" Montolo out of the sea.Montoro was finally back on deck, soaked and coughing hard.On weekdays, the demeanor of the number one under Tony was gone, like a fat fish that was caught.

"Are you willing to avenge my father?" Arthur knelt down and looked at Montoro and asked.Arthur is still very impressed with him. On his 5th birthday, he gave himself a cream cake, which he said was made by his wife.Arthur remembered the taste of that cake, it was very sweet, so sweet that it was a bit cloying, and it was not good for children's teeth.But in those days, sugar was a good thing, and not everyone was willing to use sugar.

Montoro nodded quickly, he stopped coughing, and said in a voice as sincere as possible: "Yes, I will kill Tony myself to avenge Luthor. Luthor is my good brother, and I should have avenged him long ago."

Arthur smiled and didn't say anything. People always forget to do things that "should have been done long ago".He and Russell pulled Montolo back to the cabin, untied him, changed him into dry clothes, and he sailed back to New York.

Arthur knew that tonight he was going to take back control of the Luciano family.
