The closed reception room door opened. Valentine, the only man with blond hair in this mansion, walked in. Those surrounding the body moved to make space. Leo, who followed behind Valentine, carefully lifted the sheet. The bright blue eyes fixed not on the dead man's face but directly on his neck. Valentine's face remained expressionless as he observed the skin abraded by the rope and the dark strangulation bruises from the victim's struggle.Leo covered the body with the sheet again and studied Valentine's expression. An expressionless, emotionless face from which no feelings or thoughts could be read. Leo cast a brief glance at the neck area of the body hidden under the sheet.The timing of hanging someone on the road leading to the Luciano villa was significant. Even for someone as rough and violent as Tony Rico, this was unnecessarily excessive. Luciano was already heated about Eugene's situation. There was no need to mock and insult Luciano or provoke him in this manner. Therefor

Tony Rico and Fredo Codiseri, who had exited their cars, approached the rear door of the second, central car. Men in black suits surrounded them protectively."It seems Don Belmonte has come in person," murmured the onlookers with voices full of interest. This was the most intriguing of the many scenarios people had anticipated.Tony Rico personally opened the rear door of the central car. Several people approached the car to shake hands with Don Belmonte first. Although smaller in power compared to Luciano within America, Belmonte was an organization that conducted business not only with Sicily's Cosa Nostra but also with Naples' Camorra. It was beneficial to maintain good relationships, if only for business.The expressions of those preparing to greet Don Belmonte with welcoming smiles froze as he exited the car. The person who emerged from the backseat was not Giovanni Belmonte. The man in the black suit appeared to be only in his twenties, and he wasn't even a pure Italian."Who o

"You must have earned quite a bit of hatred from the previous incident."Luca Datero said. Eugene neither confirmed nor denied it.The ceremony ended. Luca Datero stood up from his seat and patted Eugene's shoulder."Shall we have a quiet conversation for a moment?"After asking Eugene, Luca Datero turned to look at Tony Rico, who was sitting behind them. Tony Rico nodded with a displeased look. Having received Tony Rico's approval, Luca Datero now looked at Eugene. Eugene cast a brief glance at Valentine, who was receiving greetings from men on the other side, then nodded.As Eugene had felt since arriving, this funeral home was very large. The interior was decorated in an antique style, with rest areas for the bereaved family or attendees placed throughout. Luca Datero guided Eugene as if very familiar with the place. After passing through several doors, they entered a space where not a single mafia man in a suit could be seen."What kind of conversation did you want to..."Eugene,

After sending Luca Datero away with the excuse of needing to rest a bit more, Eugene sat back against the sofa's backrest. A heavy sigh escaped him. After staring at the ceiling for a moment, Eugene examined his right hand. The hand that had been gripped by brutal strength was beginning to swell. The reddish swelling precisely resembled Valentine's handprint. After a few days, it would likely develop into bruises in the exact shape of the handprints, just like his neck.Eugene cursed softly under his breath while touching his neck, which was concealed by a scarf. The bruise in the shape of Valentine's hand still remained on his neck. While waiting for that bruise to fade, another handprint had been left on his hand. It was impossible not to curse.The sound of a door opening was felt from behind."...Don Date..."Annoyed at having his brief moment of solitude interrupted, Eugene turned his head with a voice tinged with slight irritation. But the one who entered wasn't Don Datero.Vale

Valentine took off his suit jacket and threw it onto the bed. The shirt hidden beneath the black jacket was revealed. The shoulder area was already damp with seeping blood, sticking to his skin. Valentine stripped off the shirt as well and tossed it on the floor.Knock knock.A short knock sounded and the door opened. Leo entered the room carrying a first aid kit. Approaching Valentine, Leo frowned at the open wound."I thought I smelled strong blood in the car. What did you do to make it burst open like that?"Valentine sat down silently in a chair."Wouldn't it be better to call Anita?""If Anita sees this, it'll reach Don Luciano's ears immediately."At Valentine's reply, Leo shrugged and opened the first aid kit, rummaging through its contents.As he cleaned the wound, its appearance, previously hidden by blood, was fully revealed. Seeing the shape of the wound, Leo let out a soft whistle."Someone dug into it viciously. It's not easy to make something like this—whoever did it has

Mateo said with a relieved expression. This was exactly why Luciano poured vast sums of money into the judicial system every year. Simply making someone with a similar appearance confess and be detained? It wasn't that simple. They twisted witness testimonies cleverly, omitted evidence, and substituted or tampered with evidence that had been submitted. Even if there were suspicious aspects of the evidence or witnesses, they pushed the case forward, ignoring them. From street patrol officers to prosecutors and judges—the bribes spread throughout the judicial system were designed to produce significant effects when needed."By the way, how's the search for Carlo Chirico's hit-and-run driver going? It's not even our business but Colvino's, and it's not that big a deal, but you seem to be putting excessive effort into it."Mateo suddenly asked."We've searched through New York and New Jersey like catching mice, but there's not even a trace. Unless they completely dismantled the truck and

But all of that had been pointless. Offering Tony Rico as a sacrifice to prevent war between Luciano and Belmonte. Thus ensuring the safety of Giovanni and Valentine, both presumed to be Eugene's father, while extracting himself completely from the awkward situation he had found himself in. That shallow plan had only made things worse."...With the war against Chiano just around the corner, we need to be well-armed, don't we?"Lost in thought, Eugene looked up suddenly at these words. Tony Rico was smiling savagely, showing his teeth."War?""Given the world today, it's not easy to safely acquire large quantities of firearms within America. If we use them incorrectly and get caught, it becomes a headache. But if we use items freshly imported from Russia for this war and then dispose of them, there will be no complications."Using some of the large quantity of weapons imported through the deal with the Russian mafia in the war against Luciano. That was the gist of it. Eugene bit the in

'Hey.'The voice that strangely stirred his heart.Eugene tried to shake off the voice lingering in his ears by squeezing his eyes shut. But the sound in his ears simply wouldn't disappear."Are you ready to depart?"A man in his mid-thirties who had opened the door asked. Eugene nodded and stood up. Jerry placed his checked pistol into the leather holster over his white shirt and put on his jacket.Like attending a funeral, three black sedans were waiting. Four armed men got into the front and rear cars, and Eugene took the back seat of the middle car. A man in his thirties was in the driver's seat, and Jerry took the passenger seat. Soon the cars left the Belmonte residence in a line.They were on their way to meet Don Datero. The meeting place was set at the usual flower shop. Though it was just a trip to Queens, the tension was visible on the driver's face and in the cars following closely behind. Jerry was no exception, his sharp eyes constantly checking the front, sides, and the

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
