February 18, 1958.

The Oriental couple who lived in Peninsula Manor, New York, were shot while going to a shopping mall. Fortunately, they were not injured, and all three gunmen were killed.

The attacker is a new gang member in New York. He is not very old and his techniques are very immature.

Oliatu did not find out the truth immediately, but reported it to Russell first, because he was afraid of ruining the godfather's plan.

When Russell learned the news, he scolded Olijatu. Russell would never show mercy on things that had threatened the lives of his subordinates.

"You have to get to the bottom of the matter. If you can't find out the reason, then you should stay in New York forever!"]

Oliad knew that the godfather was a little angry because he delayed the best opportunity to get to the truth about Sonny Corleone's death.

After figuring it out, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to investigate the attacker's gang, as well as the scope of activities and the managers behind it.

The attack on him must be related to Sonny's death. Why?

Just because he stayed in New York all these years for this matter, the secret enemy must have known that they were targeting him, so he made a choice at this time.

Ever since Russell messed up the plot of "The Godfather," everything has become confusing.

However, he knew that there were only so many people, so the scope of his suspicions was reduced.

For example, an old man living in Miami, Florida, who is full of diseases.

But Hyman Ross is still a character no matter what, and he will not lower his face to cause trouble for Oliattus, even if he finds out something. If Hyman wants revenge, he should go to England to cause trouble for Russell. This is only reasonable.

So the murderer must be someone else!

Since Mike Corleone settled in Nevada, he rarely returns to New York because the mess in Las Vegas has trapped Mike.

In the past two years, two large casinos in Las Vegas have closed, but Mike's casino still has not opened.

The serious players in Nevada regard gambling cards as bargaining chips. A congressman contacted Mike, but the price was too high, leaving Mike speechless.

A few days ago, Mike received news from New York that Clemenza had passed away due to illness.

He did not rush to New York to attend the funeral because his son Anthony was going to be baptized. On that day, hundreds of people came to Mike's estate, all of them Nevada celebrities and guests, as well as family members.

There were police officers outside as security, and a Congressman named Gray was speaking on the stage, thanking Mike Corleone for his donation to the community school, and calling him a charity ambassador.

When Congressman Gray walked into Mike's study, the conversation between the two ended in a very unpleasant manner.

"It takes $200,000 to get a license."

Mike frowned and said: "Its normal price is 10,000 US dollars."

"Do you want it? The license is in my hand. You can give me as much as I want. Do you understand?"

Mike spread his hands and said with a smile: "I think it's worthless."

The two broke up unhappy, and Senator Gray left angrily.

In the study, Mike also looked sad.

"Originally, I thought that gangs had been stained with ink, but I didn't expect that these regular members are a bottomless pit that cannot see the light!"

Tom asked: "What do you want to do?"

"Find his handle and hold him to death!"

"But he once visited Russell Corleone."

After hearing this, Mike slowly turned his head and said: "I don't care who he has visited, I only care about whether he offended me! Tom, you are just a lawyer, handle the company's legal issues."

Tom was speechless, packed his bag and left.

Mike was the only one left in the study, looking at the ceiling and smoking Sicilian cigarettes.

The Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas was like a mountain in his heart, weighing him down and making him unable to breathe.

Russell has become Mike's insurmountable inner demon and the target of comparison...

But as he came into contact with more and more, he felt more and more powerless, because Russell was too powerful in the United States, controlling some regular customers in the three states, and even the FBI helped him do things.

While Mike was distressed, his bodyguard Rocco Rambo walked in.

"Godfather, something happened in New York."

"What's up?"

"Russell Corleone's people in New York were attacked on the way in Oliato. None of the three attackers survived, but these three were members of a new gang in New York, and this gang worked for Clemenza."

Mike was stunned when he heard this, "Clemanza is dead..."

"Yes, Clemenza's successor Pantangeli and his subordinate Chichi are all at the banquet."

Mike stood up and looked out the window and saw Pantangeli singing and dancing on the stage, directing the band to play Sicilian songs, but the band obviously didn't understand Sicilian songs and played him into an American symphony.

"When did Pantangeli come to Nevada?"

Lanpo said: "Last night."

"When was Oliatu attacked?"

"Last night."

Mike glanced at Lanpo and was slightly silent.

If Pantangeli was responsible for the attack on Oliato, was he seeking asylum in Nevada?

So why did he attack Russell's subordinates?

Not afraid of offending the Sicilian Godfather?!

"Find him and Qiqi."

"yes."

Rampo reminded: "Godfather, you haven't met Connie yet."

"Arrange her meeting at the end of the banquet."

When Rampo found Pantanjuli and Qiqi, they were whispering and became a little excited when they heard that the godfather wanted to see them immediately.

study.

Pantangeli took off his hat and saluted and said hello.

Mike did not exchange greetings with him, but asked bluntly: "Russell's subordinate Oliatu was shot. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"What?"

Pantanjuli said in surprise.

Next to him, Qiqi also looked confused.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, I knew that they were not pretending. They really had no idea about this matter.

Frank Pantangeli was a member of the most powerful Maporissa family in New York in the 1930s. In 1934, the Corleone family and the Maporissa family competed for hegemony in the New York underworld.

An 'olive oil war' broke out between.

Pantangeli admired Vito's character very much, so he secretly provided intelligence to the Corleone family, and finally helped the Corleone family win.

Since then, Pantangeli has been working under Clemenza. Later, after Mike led the family to move west to Nevada, the New York family business was handed over to Clemenza, so the 'New York Branch' was also called

Clemenza family.

But Clemenza still seeks Mike's opinion on major matters, and is not completely independent.

And Clemenza's rise to power also meant that Tessio lost power, and he was arranged to live in Long Beach for retirement...

Mike asked Pantangeli why he came, and he immediately explained the situation and wanted Mike to make the decision for him.

The reason was that before Clemenza died, he promised to hand over three pieces of land in the Bronx to his subordinates, the Rosado Brothers. However, Pantangeli believed that there was something fishy about the cause of Clemenza's death, so when he inherited the New York branch

Later, Clemenza refused to fulfill his previous promise to the Rosado brothers.

Therefore, Pantangeli came to Nevada to demand justice and to get the password to get rid of the Rosado brothers!

After hearing this, Mike sat on the chair, and then coldly refused his unreasonable request.

"Frank, you shouldn't get angry when you have doubts. The cause of Clemenza's death should be handed over to the medical examiner..."

Pantanjuli said anxiously: "Godfather, but we are the black hands..."

"Shut up! We used to be, but at least we are not now! Do you understand? We are businessmen, and the essence of businessmen is profit. Talk about money. All actions must be about money!"

Pantangeli shut his mouth, and Mike also noticed his gaffe, so he comforted them with a few words and sent them away.

Lanpo sent the two of them off, turned around and came back.

Mike looked up at him and asked, "Where's Tessio?"

“Long Beach.”

"Keep an eye on Tesio. If he makes any changes, pass the news to Auliato!"

Lanpo was startled and asked: "You mean Tesio attacked Oliatu?"

The Rosado brothers worked for Tessio, and after Tessio went to Long Beach to retire, the Rosado brothers returned to Clemenza's management.

"If Clemenza did not die due to illness, but for some other reason, then it must have been Tesio's doing!"
