Chapter 687 (1/2)
Daniel listened to Simon's words, but he didn't intend to give up. He also had his own opinions. He turned back to the topic and asked, ”Simon, what are you going to do with tonight?”
Simon didn't mean to advise.
Whatever Daniel wants to learn, Sophia will definitely give him the best conditions.
Follow the boy's question back to this matter tonight, but did not directly answer, but asked: ”have you seen the godfather?”
Daniel shook his head: ”however, I recently watched” stealing the wire. ”
Simon smiles and doesn't ask how Daniel got into the cinema. The boy's appearance says that he is seventeen or eighteen years old. No one doubts him at all. He just asks, ”how do you feel?”
Daniel thought for a moment, looked at Simon, eyes bright, meaning to point out: ”even more vicious criminals, have their own ties.”
Simon nodded and asked, ”will you sympathize with DeNiro as Neil and them?”
Daniel hesitated a little and said honestly: ”I hope Neil can take Edie away at last.”
Simon said: ”that's the charm of the movie. If you've seen the godfather, you'll certainly have a sense of identity with Vito Corleone played by Brando. However, the reality is not like this, the real Italian mafia, cold-blooded and brutal. In order to compete for territory, they will root out their competitors, even pregnant women and children. In order to intimidate the authorities, they dare to attack the top of the government, and even throw the officials' 8-year-old child alive into the sulfuric acid barrel. Just two years ago, in order to kill an Italian judge who has launched many anti Mafia campaigns, they buried a ton of explosives in the ground where the judge passed by. ”
The assassination of Italian judge Giovanni Falco in 1992 shocked the world and even triggered a protest strike by millions of people.
After this incident, the Italian government, faced with the strong pressure of the media and public opinion, began to quickly pass a large number of bills specifically aimed at the Mafia, and set off a national anti Mafia campaign, which is still continuing until now.
Simon said, noticing the change in Daniel's expression, he said with a smile, ”are you afraid?”
Daniel pursed his lips and looked at the smile of the young man beside him. He calmed down and didn't answer the question.
Simon didn't force the boy to respond.
The reason why Mafia makes most people afraid, including many politicians and rich people, is that they are unscrupulous.
Moreover, Italy was one of the first countries in the world to abolish the death penalty, which made the Mafia more reckless. In some countries where the death penalty is imposed, it is natural for a person to die. In Italy, killing people is no more than life imprisonment. People who are charged with murder but only sentenced to five or six years are also everywhere.
This creates a kind of implicit strong imbalance.
The Mafia can arbitrarily ”sentence” its opponents to death. It almost has the power of life and death, but other people can't easily do so to them. Even the authorities can only arrest those almost well-known Mafia bigwigs when the evidence is conclusive.
With that in mind, Simon said, ”well, it's going to be a good night. We just need to compromise with the glory club and clarify that we have no intention of acquiring Versace, then the matter is over. ”
Daniel's face moved slightly. He noticed that Simon was still looking at himself. He quickly said, ”actually, it won't pass, will it?”
Simon still had a smile on his face and said, ”it's hard to say. If we compromise, glory will achieve our goal, maybe we won't embarrass melisandro and threaten us any more. However, there is another possibility. When they find out that Simon westero, who has hundreds of billions of dollars, will also feel fear and fear of Mafia, which is no different from those billionaires who hide in bulletproof cars and are surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Just as it happens, the subsidiaries of melisandro, such as Gucci, van cletta and Christie's, are very suitable for money laundering, Wester The Los Angeles system also has a large investment in Italy. Denny, do you think that if it was you, would you like to go further and cut a few more pieces of meat from this super fat sheep? ”
Daniel's mouth moved. He didn't open his mouth, but he nodded slightly.
Simon said, ”well, back to your question, what am I going to do about it? Denny, I just told you this. I just want you to understand that you should not have any illusions about Mafia and any other types of gangs. They are the dark side of the world. They are a group of people who have no scruples outside the law. They are absolutely not the messengers of justice and deserve no respect. But for us, there is no need to have any fear of the Mafia. Mafia makes people surrender through violence and killing, but if someone treats them in the same way, even more violent and bloody, then the so-called outlaws are actually a flock of sheep. At that time, Mussolini put 94 big guns outside the Mafia's home, and those invincible Godfathers of the Mafia could only be captured. Denny, you know, a super plutocrat with hundreds of billions of dollars has the same strength as Mussolini's government. Mafia use violence, we can also, and more violent than them. Not only that, we can use the power of the government, we also have the power of money, we even have our own army. So, Denny, are you still scared now? ”Daniel shook his head quickly this time.
It's just that there is something else in the boy's eyes when he looks at Simon.
Simon understood what it was, put away the chill that just came out of his words, and said gently, ”maybe you resist my relationship with your mother, Denny. But you, and Gemma, are in the same place in my heart as they are. I also see you as part of the Westeros. In order to protect you, I will not hesitate to start a war. ”
Daniel dodged Simon's eyes for a moment, then quickly looked over and said seriously, ”thank you, Simon.”
Sophia, on the other hand, the Los Angeles side is always calm, but domay point manor has not received anything messy.
Simon, however, will not be lenient.
The relationship between Sophia and herself is almost well known. Melisandro is a very important part of the westero system. The threat to either of them will be regarded as a provocation to the whole westero system by Simon.
The new week also happens to be the beginning of August.
After a slight wave in Greenwich on Friday, it seemed to calm down quickly. However, a turbulent current under the sea began to brew rapidly.
The continuously expanding intelligence network of the Westeros family was fully mobilized again.
Especially in Europe, Sofia has been in charge of this matter since a long time ago. The original European intelligence network has been dormant. At the weekend after the incident, hundreds of people gathered quietly for the first time from various European countries to the Calabria region in southern Italy bordering Sicily.
The Calabria region is the birthplace of the Italian glorious society.
To be exact, the glorious society is not a unified organization, but a Mafia alliance jointly established by multiple families, and there are constant internal disputes, during which there were even two large-scale Mafia internal wars.
It can be called ”war”, which also shows the intensity of the dispute.
The most recent civil war of the glorious society lasted for six years from 1985 to 1991. The fierce Gang scuffle led to the official record of more than 600 conservative deaths.
