Mr. Consultant

In the living room of the "big garden", those expensive and conspicuous decorations were removed and replaced by rows of sofas and solid wood seats.And this historic villa located in the suburbs was once a resort for vacation and entertainment for Don Barone and his family members.They held meetings in the villa, feasted in the villa, and talked about trivial, trivial pleasures in the villa.Laughter and laughter once filled the environment, and together with the aroma of those high-end cigars, they witnessed the splendid legend.

But now, the characters proclaimed in those splendid legends, and the personalities of the heroes in those characters, have all been succumbed to fate or to hell in time.After Don Barone's death, these opinionated old-timers did not recognize Giuseppe's status and had doubts about his abilities.In their eyes, the consultant was just some kind of fickle whore, a demagogue, a model of meanness.

After all, they were fundamentally opposed to a consultant of non-Italian origin, not to mention that this tall and handsome consultant had done many things that were unacceptable to them.Because of this, they suspected that Giuseppe had climbed into the bed of some important person to get this kind of treatment that they could never get in their lifetime.

What made them even more inexplicable was that Don Barone actually entrusted Xavier, the young master, to Giuseppe for education.They couldn't figure out what sort of qualities existed in this former prostitute that the future leader of the Barone family could learn from.They really wanted to suggest to Don Barone, begging the old man to take back his order, but unfortunately, Don Barone could no longer make any response at that time.

They were worried that this consultant would lead Xavier into some fatal wrong paths, and even harm Barone's interests.They didn't want to lose their wallets, and they didn't want Giuseppe to take their stuff.But unfortunately, just when they were so worried, news came from the front line of the war that Giuseppe and Xavier were playing tricks.

The "big garden" exploded because of this, and those old men who were over half a century old all asked questions like neighbors.They want to know what kind of relationship Xavier and Giuseppe have developed, and whether it will affect the future of the family and the situation of the war.It would be nice, they thought, if the young master would give up his position as chief of Barone for a little foolish and ridiculous love.Even if Xavier does not give up his position, they will have one more reason to impeach.

In short, this incident is unbelievable to everyone, including the person involved, but it is not necessarily without some benefits. The old people in the "big garden" even began to look forward to the wonderful scene of Giuseppe and Xavier flying away, but they waited for a long time, but what they waited for was only a paper agreement with Maldini.They couldn't help but want to gossip about the consultant, and sent people to the Brownstone Building to inquire, but the results they got were often quite strange. Everyone told them that the consultant seemed to have a relationship with Xavier. Nothing but disgust.But they still go to bed and do the intimate things only lovers do.

And with the somewhat rusty heads of these old-school characters, it is almost impossible to understand the reason for this relationship.They couldn't figure out what was going on with Giuseppe and Xavier, and whether there was such a so-called stupid and ridiculous love?They thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that the two gentlemen might be lunatics with ingenious ideas and psychopaths attracted to each other, and concluded the above vain suspicions based on this.

They went back to the past, the kind of leisurely and happy time, talking and drinking tea in the sun, discussing wine and holidays on the sofa.They are at ease with everything in the "big garden" and stick to their rich vested interests. They don't want to be involved in the work of the people in the brownstone building, let alone hand over all the rights in their hands.They refused to communicate with Giuseppe, and arranged their work according to very different, Sicilian-style codes from the South Side.They have their own means and their own connections, and they don't want to owe any unnecessary kindness.

But at this moment, this kind of thinking has been dealt a huge, even devastating blow.These old-school characters, dressed in dreary handmade suits, gathered like a dark cloud in the living room of the "Grand Garden".They exchanged glances, their gray heads huddled together in whispers.They want to understand what is going on in the current situation, and what kind of surprising subtle relationship is contained in it.

Of course, some of them are actually quite aware of this matter, a series of ins and outs, and the reasons for the young master's anger.For their own benefit, they provided Maldini with news of the negotiations between Xavier and Shine, and hoped that the enemy's strength would allow their opponents to stop this important transaction.

They were all members of the Mafia, and they all knew the fate and the terrible punishment of such a betrayal, but they couldn't control their lust for money, just as they couldn't control the copying and replaying of stupid actions.They have already seen what happened to Albert, that big fat man, but they have long been accustomed to living on the verge of death, and they are not afraid of any profitable crisis.Because in the final analysis, everything they have achieved today stems from this hopeless violence and blood.

When they leaked the news, of course, they had completely expected that Maldini would definitely do something frightening immediately.But they didn't worry about it, not even the slightest worry.Because they knew that the relationship between Barone and Maldini was protected by the agreement, and no one could disobey Don Gilardino's order.

Moreover, even if Maldini's thugs really hurt Giuseppe and the young master's life, for them, it was nothing more than pulling out two thorns in their eyes.Therefore, there is no harm in this matter at all. Even though it may be a little risky and violates the family's regulations, they are so large in number that they are not afraid of any protests from the Brownstone Building.What's more, their territory, their bookkeeping office, why do they want to do the business of that little male prostitute?They originally had their own business and did not wish to be deprived of this right by anyone.

However, they never expected that Giuseppe would make a decision to protect Sean at a critical moment, let alone the bulletproof vest worn by the consultant.Things got out of hand so far, clues were leaked from the weapons of the thugs, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Sean's old club Maldini.And the young master got the undercover information from the internal investigation, so after dealing with the deal with the northern drug dealers, in such a hot and unbearable July rainy season, he brought Giuseppe to appear aggressively in the "big garden" inside.

The consultant was wearing an off-white linen suit. He pushed his pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then took out a dense stack of documents out of his briefcase.After several months of recuperation, he finally regained some of his old spirit, and in those gray-green eyes, he finally recovered the shrewd expression of the past.What's more, the cooperation with the northern drug dealers has brought huge benefits to the brownstone, and he finally doesn't have to worry about how to make up the insomniac problem during his recuperation.

Xavier sat on an antique sofa, and the old-fashioned electric fan circled above his head, making an annoying noise.He took the documents in Giuseppe's hand, flipped through them a few times, and threw them unceremoniously on the coffee table in front of him.He wants to settle some matters with these old antiques, and it is best to send them all to the repair yard like the electric fan above his head.He said:

"Sir, I know that you are surprised by my visit and think that I should not appear in this kind of place. But I believe that some of you must know what happened in the past few months. Even, you are still in the bottom of your heart. I wonder why I didn't discuss these things with you until today."

When he said this, he paused, his sharp eyes gouging out those selfish faces like knives.He saw a few old guys bow their heads because of this guilt, and saw a few big men look away with pale faces.He felt relieved, and wanted to see them for a while longer, but the expression on his face was so serious, even with a little inexplicable sadness and anger.He motioned Giuseppe to light a cigarette for himself, but he didn't put it in his mouth immediately, but just held it in his hand, and then continued to the old men in front of him:

"I believe you all know that Barone has reached an agreement with the northern drug dealers. We will take some profits from their business and provide them with a way to sell. But now that this matter is over, I have to come Deal with you. I'm sorry sir, I don't have any malice, but I really want to deal with you."

"No, Xavier, respected young master, Don Barone will not allow you to do such a thing! Hell, don't you know how much we have paid for the family? How can you fire us so easily, let us Back to nothing?"

"Sir, please calm down..." Xavier raised his hands and signaled the wrinkled old man to calm down. He looked at the trembling figures in front of him, and didn't want them to burst out because of his few words heart disease.He was silent for a while, spread out the investigation materials in front of him, and pushed them in front of the old people. He explained to them:

"Listen, I'm willing to believe that most of you have absolutely no malice, and you can also treat the boring grievances of the past as air. But, if you insist on challenging my bottom line like this and hurting my lover, Coveting my interests. I swear I will pay you a price, a painful price, a price you will never want to experience personally."

The young master would never have spoken like that before, for in some respects he was a more tempered character than Giuseppe.But now that he has completed the deal with Sean, he has obtained an irreplaceable source of income and no longer needs to rely on any support from the "big garden".He needs to let these old people understand their situation, lest they have some blind, rather ridiculous confidence.

Xavier narrated what happened on the shore of Lake Michigan again.He told those old antiques that it was Maldini who planned the whole thing, but there were also some undercover agents who revealed the news.He expressed his understanding of their opposition, and even their decision to sabotage the meeting.However, no one should threaten Giuseppe's life, even though it was not intentional, even though it might just be an accident, it was enough to make the young master furious.

The previous negotiations with Sean had not yet come to fruition, and he did not dare to make a rash decision, for fear that he would fall into a situation where he would be confronted by enemies.But now, the things that worried him have been completely resolved, and it has fully entered normal operations.So he asked these people to settle an old account and calculate the interest that had to be calculated.He will let no one despise him without paying a price, any more than he will let anyone respect him without gaining a little luck.

Xavier has made up his mind to protect Giuseppe since a long time ago, which has almost become the root of all his efforts and the original cause of all his goals.Therefore, he especially couldn't stand others trying to hurt his advisor, not even a little bit.That is his reverse scale, his inviolable bottom line and dignity.

But it is a pity that he has never told this matter to others, even the object of this emotion, the consultant himself, has no idea about it.Thinking of this, Xavier felt a little inexplicably depressed. He looked at the ignorant expressions on the faces of those old people, as if he was asking him why he was furious about an accident.He thought that he might be an unreasonable person with some unreasonable feelings in his heart.But the feeling is so strong, as if there is no need for anything else in the world.

This feeling lingered in his chest, lingered in his heart, and occupied all his nerves.He wants to say it, to everyone at this moment, that he loves this Mr. Consultant so much, and can tolerate all his shortcomings and all his past.He doesn't care about his hysteria, he doesn't care about his duplicity, he just wants to hear "I love you" from his mouth.Whether it is true or false, it can make him feel grateful, cry and be happy.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help getting excited. He grabbed the waist of the consultant, and said to those old guys solemnly:

"Sir, he is my lover, my forever lover, please remember this well, and respect this fact from the bottom of your heart—"

Xavier froze for a moment, he couldn't figure out why he wanted to speak out what was in his heart.But he had no choice, so he could only pretend to continue the topic:

"Also, you need to realize that there has always been only one Barone, and there is no need to separate out any boring factions. Have you ever thought that the fortress you are desperately protecting is nothing but your own ugly interests. I will send people into the big garden Here you can fuck off and have nothing, or you can stay here and continue to enjoy the benefits of the family. But I want you to make a decision as soon as possible, I don't have that much patience, arguing this kind of shit with you old people matter."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Giuseppe, who was still in shock for a long time, and left the hall of the "Great Garden".

The young master is talking fast...
