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

    "We'll send someone up to check first, so please wait a moment."The driver said. Without keys, they needed to borrow them from the manager. Two men went up to the apartment first and came back about ten minutes later, nodding.Eugene went up to the third floor with the driver in his thirties and Jerry. Leaving the two outside, he entered alone. The house, which had been empty for a while, was unchanged from when he last left. Eugene slowly examined the interior. Although not much time had passed, it felt like he was returning after several years. The last time he was here, he was with Valentine. But now the situation had completely changed.Eugene went to the window and looked down. Three cars were waiting by the roadside. Eugene glanced at the door where the driver and Jerry would be blocking. In this situation, could Derek really come to meet Eugene? He clearly implied Eugene's apartment by saying Canal Street, but it seemed impossible to meet him while evading watchful eyes.Just

    Leo checked the clock on the wall. Already two and a half hours. But Valentine showed no sign of stopping. Leo knocked loudly on the door. Valentine, who had been ignoring Leo's presence and concentrating on his workout, finally stopped moving and looked over. Leo picked up a nearby towel and handed it to Valentine. After roughly wiping away the copious sweat with the towel, Valentine picked up a water bottle. As he tilted his head back to swallow the water, his Adam's apple moved rhythmically."We got a call from Cornel Avenue."The moving Adam's apple stopped. Blue eyes fixed on Leo."Eugene visited just a little while ago. He came surrounded by Belmonte guys but entered the house alone. He stayed briefly and left soon after."Valentine nodded slightly. Leo paused before speaking again."And early this morning, I received a summons from Don Luciano.""About Eugene?""Yes. He ordered me to eliminate Eugene Belmonte."Valentine's eyes darkened.Leo was openly Valentine's man. If Leo w

    It was an empty threat. The mafia, being a group that despises giving law enforcement any pretext, would never touch a federal agent. The man knew this better than anyone, but countless photographs flashed through his mind. Photos of bodies that, despite lacking evidence or witnesses, everyone knew Valentine had killed. And the missing persons, several times the number of bodies found, who had simply vanished because of Valentine.The man admitted his thinking had been naive. He'd thought Valentine would be easier to deal with than a cunning old man like Mateo. But he was wrong. Mateo Martino, at least, was thorough about profit and loss, so as long as the exchanges were accurate, things worked. But Valentine, from the man's perspective, was like a ball that could bounce in any direction. If things went wrong, he might just kill you, sink you in the ocean, and figure things out later.The man swallowed his pride, which was bubbling in his chest, and sat opposite Valentine. Then, with

    "It's a group that has had successful dealings with both the homeland and our Belmonte family for a long time, so there's nothing to worry about. Just think of it as greeting a partner you'll occasionally see in the future. Fredo entered the country with them, so he'll handle the actual business."Thinking Eugene might be concerned about dealing with the Russian mafia, Tony Rico unusually reassured him.Eugene, whose motivation to pull out had completely withered, soon nodded. As long as he was with the Belmontes, it made sense to do the jobs assigned to him, and there was no need to turn down an opportunity to go out without needing a flimsy excuse."What kind of person are they?"Having made up his mind, Eugene immediately asked. He couldn't go out with just the vague description of "Russian mafia." Even if it was just to shake hands and return, it would be better to know something about the other party."Alexandr. Born into a high-ranking Soviet military family, he's quite an elite

    Jerry, who had gotten into the passenger seat when they returned to the car, checked Eugene's expression through the side mirror. But he didn't speak, perhaps because Eugene's expression didn't look too good. Since deciding to join Belmonte, Jerry had been trying to reduce his talkativeness to fit the atmosphere. For the typically talkative Jerry, cousin of Big Mouth Doni, this showed considerable patience.The car started and the apartment building receded into the distance. Eugene recalled the brick-colored building visible in the side mirror and Walter Olson who would still be inside.Walter Olson wanted information from Eugene that could be used to indict one of Luciano's leadership. In return, he would leave Belmonte alone. If Eugene agreed to the deal, Belmonte could crush Luciano without going to war. It was a good deal for Belmonte. That was precisely the problem. A deal too good for Belmonte. Could there really be such a deal offered by the FBI?If they were targeting Luciano

    "He's trying to run us over again."Jerry said in a whisper. Eugene then understood why Jerry had been urging him. The truck had hit the car once and backed up to crush the car a second time.'Stop him! Shoot the driver!'Bang! Bang bang!As he realized the situation, his vision widened. Gunshots. And shouting voices were heard. Men who had poured out of the cars in front and behind were shooting at the truck. Turning his head, Eugene also saw a man trying with all his might to open the twisted car door. But the door wouldn't open. The passenger door was the same, and Jerry was twisting his body in various ways, trying desperately to free his legs trapped in the crushed car."We're out of time! Pull him out somehow!"Someone yelled from outside."Cover your face!"The man struggling to open the door shouted as he gripped his gun by the barrel. Eugene covered his face with both arms. With the sound of the gun handle smashing the car window, broken glass fragments showered over Eugene's

    "So did you take care of him, or not?""A body went to the morgue, but when I checked, it wasn't Eugene Belmonte. Seems he got out alive.""Damn, what a waste. It was almost done."Pol, who had recently lost one of his men to Belmonte, struck his knee with a disappointed face."Even though we failed, who knows what'll happen next time. The Belmontes must have been scared out of their wits this time.""Of course. And it was a truck, wasn't it? I wonder if Giovanni had a heart attack."The men laughed raucously."But whose handiwork was this?"Someone suddenly asked. The room went quiet."It wasn't me."Said Pol, who had been assigned to eliminate Tony Rico. The remaining underbosses each shook their heads or shrugged. Then someone with a subtle expression spoke."It was a truck, wasn't it? A truck and Giovanni's son. A good combination.""I've thought about that too. But isn't it too sloppy for Valentine's style? I've never heard of Valentine taking action and failing. If he had steppe

    "Is the sun too strong so you came in? Why don't you go up to the second floor?Leo suggested, using his back to shield the bloodied man. Instead of retreating to the second floor, Eugene sat on the sofa opposite Valentine."Don't mind me. Continue what you were doing."Leo stared at Eugene hesitantly for a moment, then shrugged. He tapped the man's cheek with the side of a knife that he had been cleverly hiding behind his back. The knife, already covered in blood, was further stained with the man's blood. The man, who had been slumped as if unconscious, opened his eyes and immediately trembled."I really don't know anything. I just did what I was told and got paid for it."The man muttered in a weak voice. Eugene turned on the TV with the remote on the table. Either the situation in New York had calmed down somewhat, or people had grown tired of the repeated news—the broadcast had returned to its normal, ordinary appearance instead of breaking news."AAAGH!"The man screamed. Eugene'

    While the sacrificial lambs were being prepared, the city was enveloped in darkness. It was time to move. Tony Rico and the other Belmontes all got into their cars. Three cars and one truck lined up and headed toward Long Island."Make sure to arrange people to take care of those guys too."Tony Rico said."I'll handle it thoroughly, so don't worry."Angelo Casani, sitting in the passenger seat, nodded."If today's operation succeeds, the Lucianos will finally be finished."Angelo Casani said in a low voice."Valentine is dead, and now the old Luciano will die too, so yes, you could say that."Tony Rico replied.A heavy silence hung in the moving car. These men were about to witness the long-awaited destruction of the Lucianos right before their eyes, but instead of being intoxicated with joy and a sense of victory, they couldn't hide their gloomy expressions. They would get their revenge by killing Ricardo Luciano, but what came after was the problem. Hadn't the Belmontes also lost t

    While Tony was shaking with anger, Fredo Codiseri, the consigliere, was clenching his teeth and glaring wide-eyed. It was an unusual expression for someone who rarely showed emotion."Fredo, what kind of man are you that you couldn't notice the Russians were having second thoughts?! They've betrayed us, no doubt. They've joined hands with the Luciano family. Otherwise, why would they disappear without a trace until now?!"Tony Rico redirected his anger towards Fredo. Fredo's jaw twitched."Do you think blaming me like this will solve anything? I didn't establish the deal with the Red Mafia. It was a connection made through Sicily, a relationship we've been trading with for a long time. Not just me, but no one could have detected their betrayal."Since Fredo's words were true, Tony Rico turned his head away, spewing profanities.The Belmonte family had already experienced the painful loss of an heir at Luciano's hands. Eugene Belmonte had miraculously appeared when they thought the Bel

    "......"The blond killer in front of Eugene was certainly a master of attack. Eugene couldn't say anything and just gasped for breath after the unexpected assault. The excessively sweet and powerful attack completely broke his will to counterattack. But Eugene had no intention of letting the emotional sediment lurking deep in his heart simply disappear. If he left it unresolved, it would certainly emerge as a problem later."...You tried to kill me. Even if the truck attack wasn't your doing, when you choked me at the Belmonte mansion, you meant it.""Yes."Valentine admitted simply. Then he added:"But I couldn't kill you."His large, white hand touched Eugene's neck. It soon wrapped around it."You were the first I decided to kill but couldn't finish. And probably the last."The hand that had been wrapped around his neck moved up to cup Eugene's cheek. Though it was a hard palm, it felt softer than anything. Eugene unconsciously tilted his head, entrusting his cheek to the hand. Va

    "Do you remember the incident when Carlo Chirico, the underboss of the Colvino family, was hit by a truck in a hit-and-run?"Eugene had to search his memory momentarily. The relatively minor hit-and-run incident involving Carlo Chirico had been completely overshadowed by the major events that had occurred without pause."...I remember. It happened right after Don Luciano was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer."It wasn't that long ago. In fact, it could even be considered recent. But in terms of how it felt, it seemed like an extremely distant event. The war that had finally broken out between the two families. At the beginning of it all was Don Luciano's lung cancer diagnosis, but the actual spark of discord was ignited by Carlo Chirico's hit-and-run incident."And you certainly remember the attack you and Valentine suffered afterward."Eugene silently nodded. The ambush and gunfight they'd experienced below the apartment, and the subsequent attacks on the highway. Valentine had bee

    "So all this time, you've been getting detailed information about the Belmonte family's movements through Alexander.""With the Belmonte family's secretive nature, they wouldn't reveal their internal affairs in detail even to trusted business partners. And Sasha and I aren't that close anyway. In fact, he and I rather dislike each other."Valentine's voice gained strength, as if emphasizing the part about disliking each other."He was just a hidden card. This operation, too, was a transaction.""A transaction?""By backstabbing the Belmonte family and Sicily, he loses an excellent weapons trading route but will gain a drug route from Mexico to Miami.""So I was sold for a Mexican drug trafficking route.""You were exchanged for a deal worth tens of billions of dollars, so you should feel proud."Valentine's fingers subtly rubbed Eugene's palm."...You knew your half-brother was trafficking weapons with the Belmonte family, yet you stayed silent and waited for the right moment to use it

    "Stop. Ayúdame. Por favor. Help me, please..."The Hispanic man muttered, alternating between English and Spanish. But knowing that pleading was useless, his voice lacked strength.Tattoos covered the exposed skin of the Hispanic man's neck, arms, and fingers, and even with his eyes covered, his seated posture revealed his gang affiliation. The man was probably a serious criminal. But that didn't prevent compassion for a human pleading in terror, nor did it reduce disgust toward those who tied up and lynched people. Though Eugene had thought he was already accustomed to violence and death, he wasn't. He struggled to maintain an expressionless face at the scene before him."I told you to catch him, not damage him this much."Leo clicked his tongue."His head and mouth are intact, so don't worry."The man named Kevin shrugged and retorted.Kevin, who appeared to hold significant status among the black men, stood behind the Hispanic man as if claiming ownership of him. His eyes surveyed

    "How's your body feeling?"Valentine's fingers landed on Eugene's knee, then crawled slowly up his thigh."Keep your hands off."Eugene brushed Valentine's fingers away. After visually confirming that the Russians were completely focused on their own activities, he spoke."What are you trying to do here?""What did you think I was going to do?"Eugene was speechless.Logically, Valentine should have killed Eugene, the Belmonte heir, or taken him hostage. Either way, the war would end in a victory for the Lucianos. But Valentine never operated within Eugene's logical expectations. He had set fire to a corpse to fake Eugene's death. What exactly was he planning?"Claudio Luciano died in a burning car, and just now Eugene Belmonte died over there too.""So you're suggesting we fake our deaths and run away together in some lovers' escape?""You asked me to come with you.""...What did you hear?""Your true feelings.""True feelings?""You asked so desperately, with tears in your eyes.

    'Should I really kill him?'Eugene thought as he looked at Valentine, who appeared more dazzlingly beautiful than he had ever seen him before. He was at least 60 percent serious."Coffee?"Valentine asked as he approached, moving away from the doorway. Only then did Eugene notice the cup in his hand. At the same time, the strong scent of coffee stimulated his senses. His mouth filled with saliva. Valentine snorted softly and helped Eugene sit up, leaning him against the headboard.His arm felt impossibly heavy as he tried to lift it to take the coffee cup. His hand trembled uncontrollably. Valentine embraced Eugene from behind, letting him rest his back against his chest, and brought the coffee cup to his lips. The hot, strong coffee tasted excellent. Eugene took a few sips of the scalding coffee and exhaled with satisfaction. Valentine took advantage of this moment to nibble on Eugene's earlobe, ear, and nape.Perhaps thanks to the caffeine, some strength returned to his body. Despit
