All Chapters of I'm In Love With A Criminal: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

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

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

"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

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

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
