Mr. Consultant

The walls of the Waldorf Astoria New York are still gray and white, still covered with ivy leaves, still showing a certain gorgeous and vivid style.The weather in New York is slightly warmer than in Chicago, and the afternoon sun shines brightly on the streets, which is somewhat dazzling.

The consultant and his young master finally set foot on the land of the east coast after a long journey.Don Gilardino's men, a stocky little man, met them at the station and escorted them to the Waldorf Astoria, telling them to rest.

Don Gilardino has some close business ties with this prestigious luxury hotel in New York City.Therefore, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel has prepared rooms for him all year round to entertain those guests who came from afar, those gentlemen who are equally honorable as Don Gilardino.Giuseppe and Xavier were arranged in such a room, and the subordinates responsible for leading the way had already completed the formalities for them and handed over the keys to the top floor suite of the hotel to them.

Giuseppe originally didn't want to accept this kind of kindness. After all, he thought that as a consultant in Chicago and as a newly promoted leader of Xavier, he really didn't deserve this kind of troublesome treatment.But Maldini's movements are still unclear, and New York does not have the convenience of information like Chicago.So out of safety considerations, and of course Don Gilardino's persistent invitation, the consultant had to follow the arrangement and enjoy a rare luxury.

He thought that based on the old man's intelligence network, Don Gilardino must have known about the changes in Chicago, those wonderful disputes, and those problems within Maldini.He just didn't understand how far this respected gentleman had mastered the matter, and what kind of expectations and opinions he had on the matter.He was not sure whether Don Gilardino would abandon his old friend and turn his interests to Barone's cause.

The consultant was a little inexplicably worried about this, but he didn't want to infect Xavier with this emotion, so that the young master would have the slightest worry about tomorrow's meeting.Giuseppe was at the train station and got in touch with Don Gilardino's office. He didn't say any more important information, but only mentioned something about their opponent. He had to explain the details to the old man himself. .

The clerk in the office knew Giuseppe's reputation, and also knew that the consultant would not come to the East Coast to discuss matters with that big man for no reason.Giuseppe should be sincere, and there is something quite confidential that needs to be reported, so confidential that he cannot disclose any information to outsiders.

This clerk, or rather all the clerks in Don Gilardino's office, had been told by the old man to pay close attention to Chicago's movements and understand the situation in Chicago.Therefore, this gentleman is no exception. After hearing the request from Chicago, he immediately promised to help as much as possible, and tried his best to fight for the opportunity to meet Don Gilardino with his superiors.

Giuseppe was grateful for his help, and when he got off the train, he was surprised to see the driver sent by the old man.The small, burly man, while packing his luggage, explained to Giuseppe in Italian with a strong accent, saying that when Don Gilardino learned of the phone call, he hoped to see them as soon as possible and tell them Ask about what happened and learn about some key things.But the old man had an agreement with the congressmen in New York City, so he had to arrange the time the next morning in Gilardino's office building.

The consultant had no objection to this, he just took the young master into the car to the hotel, and stopped bringing up those work topics.Although he still didn't understand the decision that the old man might make in the end, as long as Don Gilardino was willing to listen to their words, then no matter what happened, there was still room for discussion.Giuseppe had no spell that would bring the great men to their knees.But he firmly believes that the leader of all the mafia in New York City is a wise and wise figure who can judge the situation at hand and weigh the pros and cons of decisions.

Giuseppe didn't expect Don Gilardino to become their friend right away, he just needed to explain the twists and turns, and explain that if Lorenzo's atrocities were not effectively controlled, the final damage would be The face of the New York committee.In his opinion, Don Gilardino is not the kind of person whose dignity can be trampled by fools, let alone the kind of person who can remain silent when he is despised.His kindness, his tolerance, his seemingly real benevolence and kindness are not for the enemy, but for the friends who share weal and woe with him.

Giuseppe deeply understood this, so he dared to face this great man and tell him something that seemed to be a conspiracy.He didn't want to deny that Barone would be the biggest winner, the biggest beneficiary, and even the entire New York Committee was a prop for their ambition.However, the people of the New York Committee really didn't get any benefit from it?

Barone accepted their leadership, obeyed their orders, and paid them a portion of their proceeds as dues.Therefore, the strength of Barone means the strength of the New York Committee, and even in the current situation, Maldini will never be able to reach such a level and bring them so many things.

And after all, what did the New York Committee pay for it?Barone's soldiers were bleeding, Barone's money was being wiped out, and the war turned Chicago upside down. None of this had anything to do with them.They only need to nod their heads and give an understatement of promise, and they can reap the rewards without worrying about the endless conflicts and confrontations in the Chicago area.

Smart people know what to do in such a situation.

But it is a pity that many things in this world are not pure, just personal imagination.Therefore, the young master was still a little worried, a little inexplicably nervous and expectant.He didn't say a word to that respected old man, but his first dream and idol all came from Don Gilardino's words and deeds.He still remembered that in the lobby of the Federal Hotel, the old man and Giuseppe spoke some words that were completely incomprehensible.The consultant smiled so gently, and the light in his eyes was like stars.

It was very later, very later, that Xavier understood the meaning of what Giuseppe and Don Gilardino said at that time.He found it ridiculous, and didn't understand why he had to think deeply about such a grandiose courtesy.But his original intention could not be changed, and the engraving of fate on him could not be erased. When he turned around, he had already unconsciously turned to the consultant, to Don Gilardino, and to everything he was in awe of. Opponents, approach all the characters he admires.He gradually became a real Mr. Mafia, even if his initial wish was only to get the unnutritive attention of the consultant.

What was it that turned him into what he is now?

Life is indeed a rather wondrous thing.

Recently, this young master has been thinking about some deep topics that do not match his age, and always starts some kind of inexplicable memories.The time is only a few short months. From being chased by Maldini's thugs in the streets to the moment he is only one step away from unifying the world in Chicago, it has only been more than half a year, and it has only been more than 200 days.Those muddled and numb past still seemed to be in front of him, but he had already become a leader of Barone, and he was able to stand beside Giuseppe no less.

Maybe one day, he thought, he would stand at the top of New York and call the shots like that old man.For this reason, he wants to expand the business in Chicago, and then take over the industries around Lake Michigan, expand the family business to other cities, and expand to a situation that is strong enough to fight against the East Coast.Then, having done that, he tries to balance the members of the committee and gain some real power.In this way, he can raise his head in front of those old people and enjoy their "Tang" address and the most thorough respect.

This is different from the rhetoric he once uttered, and even more different from the momentary arrogance he once embraced. He has never considered his future so calmly, considered the direction and vision of Barone as a whole.He drew up a blueprint that only he himself knows, and he will not announce this terrible plan. He wants to wait for his own opportunity, just as he wants to quietly and secretly in a place where no one can see. plow.

Xavier himself couldn't tell where his pursuit of power and money came from.He used to do it for that consultant, to gain his cold and indifferent attention, and to respond to his trivial expectations.For this reason, he can do things that he once hated, and he can force himself to learn a completely different disposition.

But now, although the consultant is still important, is still the source of all his desires, and is still all the longings in his life, there should be some other things besides that.Xavier realized helplessly that he was not without a trace of ambition to grab status.Everything he did was, in some respects, his own will.It's just that at the beginning, he was afraid of this kind of knowledge, afraid of this completely unfamiliar self, so he put the responsibility on Giuseppe, and made himself look like a saint without fault.

Thinking of this, the young master felt that he was the most despicable person to hurt Giuseppe's kindness like that.Although he knew that the consultant would definitely not care about these things, an inexplicable guilt hit his emotions like a tsunami, causing him pain, making him suddenly at a loss and depressed.

Giuseppe came out of the bathroom in his nightgown, and saw the young master staring blankly at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.He was a little worried about Xavier's situation, afraid that he would be disturbed by the upcoming judgment.He somewhat understood this feeling, but they had already come to this point, at the cusp, and there was no room for them to turn back.They are all characters who get along with the devil and deserve a little torture.

But even though he knew this well, he couldn't let the young master frown and look anxious.Therefore, he picked up the hotel's service menu from the low cabinet next to the bed, and then approached Xavier, preparing to discuss the contents of dinner with him.Of course, they can also choose to go to the street to eat something casually, but in view of the confidentiality of the itinerary and safety concerns, it is best for them not to step out of the iron gate of the hotel before tomorrow morning, and not to provoke some unnecessary things.

Xavier heard Giuseppe's voice, turned around in a daze, and looked at the consultant's wet hair and the water droplets flowing on his collarbone.When Giuseppe walked over, a burst of clear fragrance hit his nostrils, which made him wake up from the past memories.The young master laughed because of this, took the menu from him, flipped through a few pages, and handed it back to Giuseppe.

Giuseppe understood what he meant, turned around and ordered some simple and easy-to-cook food from the hotel on the phone, and then went back to the young master barefoot.He looked at the inexplicable melancholy in Xavier's eyes, and even the little invisible expression of avoiding fear.The uneasiness of falling in love for the first time in his life invaded his mind again, causing him to ask involuntarily:

"Little cutie, do you have something to hide from me?"

Xavier listened, almost thinking that the bug Giuseppe had planted in his mind was back on, capable of conveying some terrible sincerity.He wanted to confuse him with other topics, but what happened at the Barone Hotel made him unable to act irresponsibly.He thought that if he ignored this problem like this, Giuseppe would definitely start some kind of unexplained entanglement again, and even lead to some unpredictable disaster endings.So, in a good voice, he explained to the consultant:

"Honey, I'm just reminiscing a little bit of the past, feeling a little sorry for you, and realizing that I'm a hopeless idiot, so I'm a little bit inevitably depressed. But God, I don't blame it You mean, let alone think you did anything wrong."

Giuseppe sneered, then straddled the young master, wrapping his hands around his neck.He stared at Xavier's honey brown eyes, took out the cigarette and lighter from his suit, bit between his lips, tilted his head, lit one, and stuffed it back into the little girl In the young master's mouth.His expression was suddenly a little sly and proud, and he said in a low voice:

"You finally have a fucking conscience."
