20 Chapter 20 (2/2)
During the war, Italy’s monetary system collapsed and prices continued to soar.
Together with the control measures implemented by Mussolini, the trading of food and gold jewelry is restricted.
As a result, the Italians can only rush to buy food while ruining their fortunes while cursing the damned dictator loudly.
Originally, Malena had her own job. Apart from dealing with the foul language of boring men in the small town and the harassment of the sheriff, she could still live and continue to stick to her bottom line.
As the war invaded Sicily, the peace of the past was broken.
Everything has changed!
The men in the town seemed to become vicious in an instant.
They are like hungry wolves, all waiting for someone to break into the orchard first and pick this full fruit.
After that, Malena, who lost her persistence and chastity, would sooner or later become a plaything in the town.
”Your father is sick?”
Luke couldn't see a change in his face, he continued to ask.
”Yes. Medicines and food are regulated, and the sheriff said he can get them for me, as long as... I am willing to stay with him for one night.”
Malena seemed a little hard to speak, her eyes sadly said: ”I am ready to give in. It is too difficult for a woman to live alone. Besides, I can't sit back and watch my father be taken away by the illness.”
”But His Excellency Alessandro came to the door and he said that as long as I come... to satisfy you, future life will be guaranteed.”
Malena's tone was very helpless. Whether it was the sheriff in the small town or the Mafia in Sicily, she was not something she could resist.
”I see, Marlena. You are here to rest temporarily tonight, and Xhosa should explain to me the next thing.”
Luke said lightly.
He retracted his gaze and got up to leave the room.
There is no doubt that Malena is a bedside stunner who can arouse men's erotic desires, but Luke is not so eager to let his lower body control his upper body, and then make low-level behaviors.
Compared with other animals in nature, one of the reasons why humans can stand at the top of the food chain is that they know how to learn and think, and they are not easily dominated by desires.
Animality is necessary for the race to remain aggressive, while humanity is the basis for order.
”Mr. Corleone...”
Seeing Malena calling him to stop, Luke waved his hand and said, ”There are some misunderstandings in the process. It is difficult for me to explain to you. I am sorry for the fright you have been shocked and the unnecessary troubles you have caused.”
Looking at the horror in the eyes of this glamorous girl, Luke didn't say much, just walked out of the room.
Tonight, he has to go to the second bedroom to rest.
At least this is better than sleeping on a sofa.
Luke thought so.
The next morning, Luke went downstairs to order a breakfast and spoke to the Mafia guarding in the hotel by the way.
In less than twenty minutes, Alessandro hurried over.
He walked into the room where Luke was and stood respectfully, without even reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
”As for, Xhosa, send me a woman to the bed overnight, using such shameless means.”
Luke sat at the table, slowly enjoying the local special breakfast and fried pizza pies.
He picked up the coffee in his right hand and took a sip, and he said: ”I ran all the way to Sicily, is it just to find a woman? Xhosa, I understand what you mean, but I want to tell you that, compared to greedy and slapped horses, I value a person's ability more.”
Alessandro nodded repeatedly. He thought that a young man like Luke would never be indifferent to a beauty like Malena.
Moreover, in the impression of this mafia leader.
Isn’t the most effective way to please big people is to send money and women?
How come to Mr. Corleone, it doesn't work!
Luke seemed to guess Alessandro's thoughts, but did not explain too much.
Every time he thinks of the mysterious code at the beginning and end of 4, he unconsciously becomes a lot more decent.
