"谁呀?" (Who is it?)Chinese words were heard from a corner of the small shop. Startled, Eugene turned to see an old man with white hair and a deeply wrinkled face. The old man showed no particular surprise at the intruders who had entered through the back door or the pistols they held, but simply stared at them with black eyes."Car keys."Valentine held out his palm toward the old man, who was barely tall enough to reach Valentine's waist. The Chinese old man glanced at Valentine's outstretched hand, then stared blankly again."Looks like he doesn't understand?"Jerry said. This time, instead of his palm, Valentine pressed the gun barrel against the old man's forehead. And spoke again."Car keys."The old man kept his mouth shut and stared up at Valentine. His face showed no concern whatsoever for the gun barrel pressed against his forehead. Meanwhile, chaotic siren sounds continued to flow in from outside the shop.Eugene thought Valentine would push the old man's forehead with the g

Having reached this conclusion, Eugene furrowed his brow.If the recent attack was truly due to an internal information leak—Those who knew Valentine was moving to the Long Island villa might not stop at the attack in front of the apartment. The route from Manhattan to the Luciano villa was predictable. There was a good possibility that other attackers were lying in wait somewhere along that route."Bullets?"Valentine broke the heavy silence. Jerry picked up the handgun on the passenger seat to check it, then shook his head. So all they had left was the .45 caliber Valentine had captured and the few bullets remaining in it."I guess we should have gone to the candy store."Jerry cast an anxious glance through the rearview mirror. Then he asked:"Should we turn the car around now?""These guys shot guns in the middle of New York. They're not the type to hold back from attacking in front of the candy store.""At the candy store, we could handle even several of these amateur gangs at o

Valentine held his gun with the barrel pointing upward. His finger moved almost imperceptibly on the trigger, as if oiling the finger muscle connected to it. His eyes were completely focused, marking his target, preparing to pull the trigger.Valentine shifted, moving away from the bumper as if about to exit the car. Eugene grabbed Valentine's arm firmly. Valentine looked at Eugene, who shook his head decisively. Exposing his entire body to gunfire was a crazy act he had witnessed enough of earlier. Besides, before they'd faced pistols, but now they were up against submachine guns. Absolutely not.Valentine smiled, showing his teeth slightly. His eyes seemed to say "How cute." They overflowed with confidence, as if asking, "You think something like this could hurt me?" Eugene tightened his grip on Valentine's forearm. The blue eyes looked down at Eugene's hand gripping his arm. Seeing how tightly Eugene was holding on—tendons and joints prominently showing—Valentine relaxed the finger

Eugene carefully pushed Valentine away and stood up from the chair. Then he pushed Valentine into the chair. Perhaps because Eugene was frowning, Valentine sat down obediently. His face was pale under the dim light.The door through which Jerry had left opened. Jerry entered first, followed by another man. Eugene's expression turned astonished at the sight of the young man in a white coat."Chan?""...Huh? Eugene?"The veterinarian Chan in his white coat stood there momentarily unable to hide his surprise, then scratched his head."You two know each other?"Jerry asked, looking back and forth between them."I came through the back door, so I didn't realize this was the place."Eugene said, recovering from his surprise."Yeah... I didn't know Eugene would be here either."Chan laughed awkwardly. Then he promptly approached Valentine."Let's treat this first."Chan took scissors and cut Valentine's clothes. When he cut away the blood-soaked shirt, a bright red gaping wound on his forear

His hands should have been trembling, but instead his mind felt calmly settled. Eugene stared at the public phone for a moment, then turned and headed for the back door of the veterinary clinic.As he pushed open the rusty door and entered the storage room, the smell of disinfectant stimulated his nostrils. The treatment seemed to be finished, as Chan was handing a medicine bottle to Valentine and saying something. Upon noticing Eugene's return, Chan handed the bottle he was holding to Eugene."Put Angel on a diet, Eugene. Otherwise, he'll get sick."Chan said with a hint of a smile on his face, then left the storage room. Now only Valentine and Eugene remained in the storage room. Eugene examined the medicine bottle once and carefully tucked it into his pocket.Valentine flicked his hand. It meant come closer. As Eugene approached, Valentine grabbed his waist and pulled him close. With Valentine sitting in a chair, his face was around the level of Eugene's chest. He held Eugene's wai

Given that his grandson had been attacked, Don Luciano's anger must be great. It seemed unlikely that he would try to resolve this situation by convening the Commission without seeking revenge. But to prevent any possibility of Valentine being injured again, given his deteriorating health, there was also a possibility he might set aside his grudge and try to resolve the situation amicably.The problem was that the other underbosses and members, already heated up, might not want this to end here. And... above all, Valentine wanted war.Jerry, who had been rubbing the back of his neck, suddenly shifted his gaze behind Eugene. Almost simultaneously, someone placed a hand on Eugene's waist. A distinctly hot hand, felt even through clothing. It was Valentine."To mediate conflicts between families, either both sides' leadership needs to request a Commission meeting, or at least one side must request it. Don Luciano won't want a Commission meeting. And Giovanni Belmonte will feel the same."

Though he had left such a message for Derek, the problem was how to approach Belmonte. Before relations between Luciano and Belmonte had deteriorated to this point, there might have been opportunities to make contact somehow, but in this situation, it was impossible.No, even if this situation hadn't developed, the arms trafficking deal with the Russian mafia was such important business that only the leadership and a few key figures among the Belmonte would know the relevant information. There was no way someone from the Luciano side—moreover, someone with the ambiguous status of not yet being an official member but merely someone Valentine intended to make his consigliere in the future—could gain access to such information.If there was someone who could serve as a bridge for Eugene to approach Belmonte..."...Luca Datero."Eugene thought of the young boss of the Confezzoni. The boss of a family that was neither on Luciano's side nor Belmonte's. Perhaps he could help Eugene approach

The entrance door opened. All eyes turned."Good morning," Don Luciano greeted as he entered. Unlike the brief glimpse Eugene had yesterday, he now appeared normal, without even an oxygen tube. With Don Luciano leading, followed by consigliere Mateo and underboss Alberto taking their seats, the table was complete, and the meal began in earnest.Eugene ate a still-warm croissant and sipped strong coffee while observing Valentine beside him. Seeing how he drained several glasses of milk in succession and how quickly the bread and salami disappeared from his plate, it was clear his condition had improved.Eugene felt a gaze from across the table. Turning his head, he saw Mateo sitting opposite him, smiling with wrinkles around his eyes. Dressed neatly in a brown suit first thing in the morning, he appeared to be a gentle, gentlemanly old man.The underboss Alberto, seated beside Mateo, leaned toward him and said something. Mateo took his eyes off Eugene and engaged in conversation with A

Leo scratched his forehead, seemingly embarrassed by his own flimsy excuse."I'll tell the Belmontes you're on a business trip."Valentine said nonchalantly, then leaned back into the car seat. His face made it clear he had no intention of listening to any more protests."We're going to Miami on a private jet?"Jerry, who had been keeping quiet, cautiously asked Leo. When Leo nodded, Jerry raised his eyebrows as if he'd hit the jackpot.An uncomfortable silence fell over the car. Valentine had always been that kind of man, but it couldn't feel good to be dragged around like this in such a situation. Eugene didn't feel like protesting further to a man who would do as he pleased anyway, regardless of objections.How long had he been staring out the car window? Something touched his forearm resting on his leg.Looking down, he saw white fingers creeping onto his forearm. They carefully slid down his arm, across the back of his hand, and slipped between Eugene's fingers. When left undistu

"Don Datero came to see you, didn't he? After yesterday, Eugene brother must have become the most famous person in New York. If Don Datero came all the way here to talk with you personally, that says it all, doesn't it?"Jerry chattered with an excited expression."Of course it's natural. Not only did you expose the FBI and Don Colvino's conspiracy by faking your death, but you also instantly—BANG!—took out Don Colvino while he was threatening Don Luciano with a gun to his head. This is practically like saving all of New York!""..."Hearing the heavily embellished heroic tale that Jerry had been spouting while drunk yesterday now coming out in broad daylight, Eugene felt like he wanted to clamp Jerry's mouth shut."If it weren't for our Eugene brother, wouldn't the council and all of New York have been destroyed by those FBI bastards? Right, brother?"Jerry sought agreement from Angelo Casani, who was approaching."That's right."Angelo Casani readily agreed with Jerry and went furth

They spoke simultaneously and then fell silent at the same time."...My mouth was dry from drinking too much, so I ate some candy."Eugene calmly said, picking up the candy wrappers and putting them on the nightstand."I see."Jerry nodded, adjusting the tray to a comfortable position for Eugene with an awkward expression. Eugene straightened his posture and removed the sheet. Two more candy wrappers were revealed, scattered on the bed."...Those too?"Jerry asked. Eugene silently collected the plastic wrappers and placed them on the nightstand.The freshly made frittata stimulated his appetite. Eugene moistened his throat with water, drained half a cup of strong coffee, and immediately picked up his fork. Jerry, perched on the edge of the bed watching Eugene eat, kept glancing at the candy wrappers on the nightstand. The twitching at the corner of his mouth suggested he had something he wanted to say."Could you get me another cup of coffee?"After finishing the remaining coffee and

"Jerry."Before Eugene could offer any comfort or greeting, Jerry's shoulders began to shake."I thought... you... were... dead..."Jerry sobbed, uttering each word separately, and as it became difficult to stand on one leg, he slowly slid downward while still embracing Eugene. Despite trying to keep Jerry upright, it was beyond Eugene's strength to support the large young man. Eventually, Jerry, just like on the first day he came to the Belmonte residence, wrapped his arms around Eugene's calves and shed tears. Tony Rico, who had initially watched with a mocking gaze, finally had to forcibly drag Jerry away, ending the emotional reunion."...I need to clean up."As the welcome was winding down, Eugene spoke while examining his disheveled appearance. Jerry, who had been sitting sprawled on the floor, sniffled and wobbled to his feet, tucking his crutch under his armpit. Perhaps because he was severely injured during the attack, or maybe because something had happened between them afte

"I'm sorry."The elderly man holding the gun to Don Luciano's temple, Don Colvino, apologized to the Chirico brothers with a melancholy expression."Everyone would be wise not to move."Don Colvino warned, pressing the gun muzzle harder against Don Luciano's temple. Leo, who had been aiming his gun at Don Colvino from right beside him, stepped back with a troubled expression."Unbelievable."Giovanni Belmonte was the first to mutter in a cold tone. Mateo and Alberto, who had been friends with Santino Colvino for decades, stood frozen with their eyes wide open in shock."Oh, Santino. My friend."Don Luciano sighed with a face immersed in sadness. Don Colvino's face contorted as if about to cry."I'm sorry, Ricardo. But I had no choice. Melania, my only granddaughter, was arrested on drug possession charges. Ricardo, you know Melania. She's a good girl who got into college on a scholarship. She just made a momentary mistake, falling for a friend's deception.""You could have told me.""

Just before reaching the yacht, Eugene looked at Valentine, who stood tall beside him. His golden hair, fluttering in the sea breeze, sparkled like gold dust under the strong sunlight. From the moment they boarded the yacht, Valentine and Eugene would return to being Luciano and Belmonte. It was uncertain how their relationship would unfold afterward. They hadn't discussed this point at all. But somehow, Eugene wasn't worried. He had a vague feeling that everything would work out. It wasn't forced optimism. It was simply a groundless belief that Valentine would resolve things on his own.Finally, they reached the yacht. Leo went first, pushing the wheelchair across the gangplank. Valentine followed behind."My God, Ricky! Valentine!"Mateo exclaimed, hugging Don Luciano and Valentine in turn and showering them with kisses. Alberto was no exception.Eugene walked toward Giovanni Belmonte, who stood tall. Giovanni Belmonte waited until Eugene reached him, then extended both arms to embr

"Now, now. Since this meeting is primarily to mediate the war between Luciano and Belmonte, let's focus on resolving that first. Don't forget, with the FBI involved, we need to wrap this up quickly."Don Colvino, who had been quiet until now, stepped in to urge reconciliation. But the atmosphere for reconciliation had already been broken."We can reconcile whenever we want. Right now, it seems we need to discuss something more important first."Don Datero, who had been sitting silently with an expressionless face, spoke up. Luca Datero, a young boss only in his thirties, typically kept a low profile at such gatherings out of respect for the other more senior bosses."I believe we need to first address the evidence against Don Luciano that the prosecutor has allegedly secured. If that evidence is real, it means one of our high-ranking Cosa Nostra officials is an FBI rat. This is no time to be talking about wars or reconciliation while we're carrying such a dangerous bomb inside our ran

The New York Council was convened again after just a few months.This council was called at the request of Don Pepe Cariello, boss of the Bonino Family, with the primary purpose of mediating the war between Luciano and Belmonte. Not only the warring parties Luciano and Belmonte, but also Colvino and Confezzioni, who had joined the conflict between the two families, immediately agreed to the council meeting. The reason was simple: Don Luciano's detention.Thanks to the council chairman facing imminent indictment, the council date was quickly established. Don Cariello, responsible for organizing this council, informed each family of the date, time, and location. Nobody raised any objections.The notified council location was an upscale residential area in Belport, Long Island. Luxury cars departing in succession from New York made their way to the driveway of the beach house. Men from the Bonino Family greeted visitors respectfully. The Bonino Family, typically considered the lowest ran

"Pizza?"Valentine asked out of nowhere.Eugene was about to snap, "You're thinking about pizza in this situation?" but simply shrugged instead. While it was absurd that Valentine was only thinking about dinner menu without any worries or concerns, it was also just like him. And as always, watching him be so carefree and confident somehow inspired a groundless belief that everything would work out."Let's go with pizza."When Eugene nodded, Leo turned the wheel with a cheerful face, saying he knew a place with killer pizza.* * *"How long does it take to confirm one identity? What? That's your problem. Stop making excuses and make sure you confirm it and give me results today. Otherwise, I'll visit your home tonight, drag your sleeping body out of bed, and roast you alive!"BANG!Tony Rico slammed down the receiver so hard it nearly broke, then continued fuming, unable to contain his anger."Still nothing?" Fredo asked in a flat tone as he drank his coffee. Tony flopped down in the
