American variety show: The Godfather, the Peace Ambassador, what the heck?

Chapter 3 This isn't about money.

Stansfield, the main villain in Léon: The Professional, is neurotic, moody, brutal, and a ruthless killer who doesn't even spare a four-year-old child.

On the surface, he is a narcotics police officer, but in reality, he is a drug dealer.

This was the first time Luca had ever seen this jerk.

Luca had only been free of the mystery of his birth for a little over a year and was still unaware of how many characters had intruded into this world. At first, he thought it was the world of John Wick, but it turned out to be much more than that, with many other characters appearing.

For example, the three brothers.

Uncle Biao, who runs a supermarket, and his nephew who lives far away in Hong Kong.

There's another fraudster on Wall Street who throws rave parties, but he's in trouble right now and is being investigated by the FBI.

There's a tough guy in the New York Police Department who supposedly blew up a building in Los Angeles and also blew up a plane at the airport in Washington, D.C.

Now this twisted, deranged narcotics officer has appeared again.

"If Stan is here, then Leon the Killer and the little girl should also be here?"

"Those two must be high-tier cards, right?"

Luca thought to himself, "I wonder if Stan killed all of the little girl's family."

He remembered that in the original storyline, Stan killed all of the little girl's family members before the cold-blooded Leon opened the door and accepted the little girl.

In the end, Leon sacrificed himself to protect the little girl, dying alongside Stan.

Stan is still alive.

So Leon is probably still alive?
I just don't know how far the plot has progressed.
"Even Stan is S-rank! Leon must be SR, right? The little girl may be weak, but she's at least A-rank, right?"

Luca is a little excited!
Two more rare cards have been discovered!

He took a deep breath and looked downstairs. He saw that Stan had already entered the hotel. He waited for a moment in front of the elevator, and when he saw the elevator going up, he calmly walked into the fire escape next to it and left the hotel through the stairwell.

This isn't a police operation to arrest someone, nor is it aimed at me, so why am I so nervous?

Stan was a corrupt narcotics officer who lined his own pockets and sold drugs. He also had a group of corrupt officers who sold the seized drugs to other gangs, making huge profits from it.

The DEA is rotten to the core, at least Stan and his gang are rotten to the core.

Luca could guess with his toes that Stan was here to see Kahn.

A deal?
"For this?" Luca looked at the box in his hand.

etc.
Luca suddenly realized something.

He then took out the photo of Kahn.

"I remember this fat guy, isn't he the character from the assassin movies?"

"Maligio warned Kahn multiple times to no avail, so he sought help from a middleman, who sent Leon to warn Kahn. But this time, I intercepted him beforehand?"

"So, my boss is also a character in Léon: The Professional?"

No wonder the boss's name felt familiar to him after he awakened his memories.

Luca was both amused and exasperated. How come his boss didn't even have a character card? Was it because he only showed his name in the original story and not his face?

That's so disrespectful.

"Stan, you're too late. The goods have already been stolen."

At the top of the stairs, Kahn sat dejectedly on the steps, smoking a cigarette, with a mess and bloodstains behind him.

Stan removed his headphones, a neurotic, morbid smile plastered on his face. His gait was both elegant and manic. He stepped forward, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and clicked his tongue in disbelief.
"Headshots, throat slits, each one a fatal blow, without a single wasted movement. Look at these corpses, they're as perfect as works of art."

The surrounding anti-drug police officers were all silent, watching Stan go mad.

The eldest brother is very much like a bipolar disorder patient, but he doesn't admit that he has a mental illness.

Stan turned around and affectionately put his arm around Kahn's shoulder. "Tell me, which artist created these works?"

His drugs were among those drugs; it was something he had arranged with Kahn beforehand.

The goods have now disappeared, resulting in significant losses.

"The Luches family."

Kahn was disgusted by Stan's close proximity, sniffing him like a dog. He subtly pushed Stan's hand away. "They sent assassins to threaten me into giving up the New York market."

The Luches family?
Stan's smile vanished quickly, a hint of resentment and madness flashing in his eyes.

"Boss, what should we do with the goods?"

"You know the rules, so you'll have to figure it out yourself."

On the way back, Luca hung up the phone and casually tossed the suitcase to Jimmy in the passenger seat.

“There’s at least 500 million worth of goods in here. You two take them and deal with them,” Luca said. “I don’t care how you deal with them, just give me 500 million later, and you can divide the rest among yourselves.”

Henry and Jimmy were overjoyed upon receiving the goods; this was a windfall! They could easily increase the price by adulterating it and lowering the purity. "Hahaha! Luca, God praise you, you're the most generous person I've ever met!" Henry exclaimed excitedly, showering them with flattery.

"That's fantastic." Jimmy suppressed his excitement and assured Luca, "You'll be sitting at home collecting money. Remember to buy a big refrigerator, otherwise you'll have so much money you won't know where to put it."

Luca smiled without saying a word. Goodness, I'm generously throwing money at you guys, all for the skills you've acquired.

Moreover, a portion of this 500 million must be given to the eldest son as a tribute; that's the rule.

With that in mind, Luca opened the panel.

To everyone's surprise, Henry's bond with her had grown to the point of friendship.

So fast?
Henry

[Bond: Friends]

Jimmy

[Bond: Familiarity]

The bonds are divided into 7 levels: stranger (zero contact), attention (interest), familiarity (contact), friend (superficial), close friend (best friend, confidant), partner (high trust, family), and symbiosis (soulmate).

Now, if you just throw money at someone, they'll become superficial friends?
Luca also believed that he could only ever be Henry's superficial friend, since the man was capable of betraying anyone and never truly opened his heart to anyone else.

Jimmy, however, was quite cautious. After spending so much money, they weren't even considered friends on the surface, were they?

No wonder he's a ruthless person who would kill all his accomplices to embezzle the stolen money.

With that in mind, Luca opened the character card and decided to exchange for Henry's skills first.

[Would you like to spend 20 skill fragments to exchange for "Shameless"?]

【whether】

Yes!
[Redeem successful, skill added]

[Shameless Scoundrel: When communicating with the police, police trust level increases by 10%; when a defector provides testimony to the police, police trust level increases by an additional 40%]

Steady, steady.

Luca smiled with satisfaction. Having this skill should be useful when dealing with the police in the future.

Before returning to the bar, Luca parted ways with the two good guys and went alone to a pasta shop in the Bronx.

The owner here is an information broker, a middleman, and also Lyon's contact person—his family has the middleman's contact information.

By brandishing the Luches family name, Luca placed the gun on the table in front of the boss and easily obtained Lyon's address.

But how do you develop bonds?
Leon is an extremely reclusive assassin who always works alone, and he is also illiterate and uneducated.

His neighbor, the little girl "Matilda," is a precocious and troubled girl who doesn't fit in with her peers. Because she is often abused at home, her personality is somewhat extreme.

Both of them are difficult to deal with.
Learning the hidden skills of a character card requires building a bond. How can you build a good relationship with a loner like Leon?
With no clues for the time being, Luca didn't rush to disturb the two rare cards, but instead went back to the bar first.

Because a lot of time was wasted getting Lyon's address, it was already dark by the time Luca got back.

As soon as Luca entered the bar, he heard an angry roar, mixed with several "damn it" and "shit," which sounded very vulgar.

Moreover, Luca could tell that it was his boss who was angry.

Upon seeing Luca return, Marigio waved, "Luca, you've come at the perfect time!"

Luca stepped forward, stepping over the shards of broken bottles. "Boss."

In a fit of rage, Marigio said angrily, "Luca, go and kill Stan from the DEA right now!"

Luca looked puzzled, but Marigio continued, "Just now, Stan led a team of police officers and raided the family's drug den! They killed more than a dozen of our brothers and seized at least 1000 million worth of drugs! This is blatant provocation! He doesn't take our family seriously at all!"

Luca: "."

This is definitely something Stan would do; that guy is a madman.

Seeing that Luca didn't immediately agree, Marigio patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him, "You did a great job on this mission. Kahn has already left New York with the plane. I promised you I would introduce you to become a full member of the family!"
I am not a person who goes back on his word. I have already submitted your membership application to the higher-ups, and you should receive a notification in a few days!

But now that this has happened, Stan has provoked our entire family. We must eliminate him first, retrieve the goods, and defend the family's honor!

Luca hesitated. "But he's still a police officer wearing a federal badge, I'm worried."

Malijo: "50. I know you have a part-time job at a hotel in mainland China. The family won't let you work for nothing."

Luca: "It's not about money."

Marigio: "One million, no more than that, and you have to get the goods back."

Luca: "Boss, you know me. I've always valued peace. Stan broke the rules and shattered the peace. He has to pay a bloody price! To defend the family's honor and the peace of New York, I'm willing to take on this mission and eliminate that beast Stan!"

Marígio: "."

Fuck, what's with you talking so righteously? Are you addicted to being a peace ambassador?
