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

    It happened in an instant. Before the shocked Eugene could even finish a syllable, the nurse had already taken care of the man and rushed to the bed. The IV line that had been in Eugene's arm was wrapped around his neck. The slender, petite nurse was suddenly behind Eugene, strangling him with the IV tube."...!!"Eugene struggled with his mouth open. He tried to get his fingers under the line constricting his neck, but it was impossible. He had been strangled before, but this was different. Soon his limbs lost strength."If only you had quietly taken the injection, you wouldn't have to suffer like this."The nurse whispered in Eugene's ear while pressed against his back. Then she pulled the line with all her might. Unlike when Valentine had strangled him, Eugene lost consciousness almost instantly.Just as he was about to black out completely:Bang!The door to the hospital room burst open with a loud noise. Something golden and particularly shiny caught in his blurry vision. The lin

    Eugene looked in the direction Valentine was looking. A large truck was coming in the darkness. The truck drew closer and closer. But Eugene couldn't move. Somehow, he was sitting in the back seat of a car.Eugene looked forward. The driver's seat was empty. The passenger seat was empty too. Eugene was alone in the car.He turned his head. The truck had reached right in front of him. He could hear the rumbling sound of the truck's massive engine. His hair stood on end.Eugene saw Valentine standing beside the truck that was now right in front of him. He smiled.The truck collided with Eugene's car. The car body was instantly crushed, and the truck's wheels trampled Eugene. The vivid sounds of his body, bones, and skull breaking and being crushed echoed clearly."It was an unfortunate accident."Valentine muttered as he watched. His ice-blue eyes were smiling."Gasp!!!"Eugene woke with a gasp. He saw the ceiling of the hospital room with the swaying tree branch shadows. It was a dream

    After he was old enough to go out alone, Eugene occasionally visited the place where he had met the child. Then one day, exactly where the child had been, he found an injured kitten. The kitten's eyes were ice-blue, just like the blonde child's.Eugene crouched down a little distance from the kitten, just as he had done as a child. Wary blue eyes glared at Eugene."Hello?""...""Why are you here alone?""...""Where's your mother?""...""Are you lost?""..."Was it because of those ice-blue eyes? A very old memory resurfaced. Eugene carefully extended his hand, asking the same questions he had asked the blonde child. It was something he hadn't been able to do in his childhood due to his desire to find his birth mother."Want to come with me?"The kitten cautiously sniffed Eugene's finger. The moist nose touched his finger and then pulled away. The kitten lowered its eyelids slowly. Eugene carefully picked up the kitten and held it."Angel. Let's name you Angel."His eyes opened natu

    The plans for quick hit-and-run killings while avoiding law enforcement were cautious, meticulous, and cunning. Everyone thoroughly investigated and planned everything. Eugene once again confirmed that these mafia groups were highly specialized criminal organizations.Meanwhile, the funeral preparations were progressing smoothly. Since the two men had died protecting him, Eugene couldn't help but pay special attention to the funeral. Perhaps noticing this, or perhaps having planned it all along, Angelo Casani, the underboss and father of the driver, came to Eugene with several of his son's suits."...You want me to choose one?""Yes."Angelo Casani nodded as he laid out several suits his son had worn in life. On the table were not only suits but also shirts and ties."Wouldn't it be better for the parents to choose?""My son would be happy if you chose for him, young master. My wife also wanted to make the same request.""Your wife too?""I inherited my current position from my father

    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?"
