Manhattan Reborn 1978

On the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii.

Afternoon~

398 Corudilla Avenue.

The strong sunlight shone into the bedroom from the window, and David, who was sleeping soundly, could only hide his head under the thin quilt. .

"Dang Dang Dang~"

There was a gentle knock on the door, which made David, who was still in his dream, feel as if he was hallucinating. .

"Dang Dang Dang~"

Another series of heavier knocks on the door made David slowly wake up from his dream. He squinted his head in the bright light and looked at the bedroom door, muttering a question.

"what time is it?"

"It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Ah... is it so late?"

"I wonder why my stomach is rumbling..."

"We have all had lunch~ You should get up quickly and go to bed at night."

"Yeah." David covered his somewhat swollen eyes with his hands. After getting up from the bed, he squinted and slowly adapted to the brightness in the bedroom. Only then did he realize that the person standing at the door was not Susan, but Polly's sister Manqi. .

"Manchi?"

"Where's Susan? She..."

Manqi, who was wearing a yellow and white floral dress, leaned against the door with her arms folded in front of her chest, shrugging with a relaxed expression and laughing.

"She was babysitting my kids after having lunch with us."

"...!?" David sat on the bed, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Manqi and asked with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Susan loves children..."

"Where's Sena's mother? Is she with Susan?"

"Haha~"

Manqi deliberately put on a cold expression, tilted her head and asked: "If she likes the child, she can have it with someone else!"

"Why do I have to give birth to you?"

"Uh..." David blinked and did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and glanced at his little brother in the quilt, covered it with the quilt, and joked.

"Hey~ You should take the time to rest, you will be busy again in a few days!"

"Humph!"

Seeing David acting like a rogue, Manqi turned her head, rolled her eyes, and complained.

"Your bastard little brother, I saw it before when I gave you a bath~"

"Yes." David scratched his head with his hands and gradually recalled the scene of Manqi and Polly helping him take a bath when he was a child, and couldn't help but sigh with a smile.

"Time flies so fast~"

"It seems like in the blink of an eye, we all grow up."

"..." Manqi looked at him silently, frowning as if David's exclamation had touched a sensitive nerve.

David shamelessly grabbed the quilt and wrapped it around his waist. As he walked to the bathroom, he threw a "provocative" look at Manqi and smiled.

"I'm going to take a shower again, do you still dare to come?"

"..roll!"

"Hahaha~"

"Bang..." David laughed "arrogantly" and was locked in the bathroom.

Manqi frowned and stared at the bathroom door. After a moment of silence, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips, and she quietly turned around and left.

. . .

396 Corudilla Avenue.

yard.

Sena's mother sat under a newly built grape trellis and sighed silently when she saw her daughter Manqi's silent return.

Susan, who was sitting on the grass not far behind her, finally let go of the "big rock" that had been hanging in her heart when she saw Manqi. .

Because the existence of Polly next to David is already the limit of what she can barely accept~

If there was another Manqi, she felt that she would definitely collapse and choose to leave. .

"Mom!" Manqi's two children saw her coming back and ran over and shouted with a smile.

Manqi knelt down and hugged the two children. Looking at the innocent smiles on their faces, the "dark cloud" in her heart immediately dissipated~

In the living room of the holiday home.

Old Malkin stood by the window and saw his eldest daughter Manqi leading the children to sit on the grass next to Susan. He slowly exhaled and turned to his old friend Meyer Lansky and joked.

"Aren't you going back today? Aren't you leaving?"

"Haha~" Florida gang leader Meyer Lansky smiled and glanced at the silent Chicago gang leader Joseph Aippa, crossed his legs and shrugged.

"When I leave, you will definitely secretly plot something again..."

"I don't want to miss it this time!"

"Hahaha~" Old Malkin laughed and sat next to his old friend Joseph Aipa. After observing him for a few seconds, he shook his head.

"You two!"

"One lingers and never leaves, while the other leaves and comes back..."

"Does that guy David really have this kind of magic power?"

Joseph Aipa tilted his head and looked at the old Malkin with a proud expression, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked.

"I also have a little daughter, who is about the same age as David!"

"How about you give him to me?"

"..." Old Malkin narrowed his eyes with a smile, picked up the coffee and took a sip without saying anything.

Meyer Lansky looked at Joseph Aipa sideways and sneered: "Why did your attitude completely change after you went to California?"

"Did you meet someone? Or hear any rumors?"

"Haha~" Joseph Aipa smiled, took his empty wine glass and walked to the bar, poured half a glass of wine and said.

"I went to California to meet some people and learn some things."

"Who did you see?"

"Piro Y. Cherov."

"..." When Meyer Lansky heard the name, the smile on his lips gradually solidified.

He knew Joseph's character very well, and he also knew that the personal relationship between his old friend and the California tycoon Cherov was certainly unusual.

But he had never seen the legendary Mr. Cherov, and he didn't know much about Cherov's character and strength.

After Joseph left and returned a few days ago, his attitude seemed to have changed a lot. . ?

Old Malkin, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at the two of them expressively, and quickly guessed the reason for Joseph's change in attitude. .

He had heard David and Polly mention the business tycoon Cherov more than once, and he also asked friends living in California about Cherov’s fortune history, which gave him a preliminary understanding of the man who fought in World War II. Later, a new generation of super-rich people emerged relying on international commodity trade and arms sales.

At the same time, old Malkin also learned from his friends that Cherov's ability to accumulate an unimaginable amount of wealth in just over twenty years relied not only on his keen business sense and courage, but also on his extraordinary business acumen and courage. You must have the ability to seize opportunities and obtain strong financial and personal support!

But. .

Haha~!

Old Malkin picked up the coffee and took a sip. He couldn't help but look out the window and sighed in his heart with a smile on his face~

Although Piro Y. Cherov is now the backbone of the California consortium, no one can ignore his strength and energy. .
