Chapter 236: Common interests and enemies

If Li Changheng knew that there was a Continental Hotel in New York, he probably wouldn't have thought of going to Corleone.

After all, this hotel in the movie looks like a home. The old hotel built in the 1920s is secretly the place where the killers who belong to the "High Table" organization in the United States will pick up tasks.

According to Continental Hotel's rules, once the hotel assesses the degree of danger of the mission, determines the amount, and collects the money, the target must be killed.

If a killer is unsuccessful, he will continue even more severely until the target dies or the employer cancels the employment.

Of course, if you cancel, you won't get the money back.

But this rule that can be cancelled, to put it bluntly, the killer group is not a panacea, they are giving themselves a way out.

If several killers are sent, and even the most powerful one fails to complete the task, it means there will be no more killers to take over the task.

Under this circumstance, is it still trapping the entire organization?

Of course it was discussed with the employer.

As for how to discuss, it must have been accusing the employer of inaccurate intelligence and asking for more money until it really couldn't kill the target.

Then the next target is the employer.

Then bring the target that can't be killed no matter what.

Even if it can't be pulled, at least use various methods to promise a settlement on various conditions.

Otherwise, the twelve elders of the High Table Club are also human beings, as well as relatives, friends and businesses.

Since people are not afraid of your assassin, that is to say, he wants to kill the elders, it is really not impossible.

As for that Majesty Boris, it is just the gang leader of the beggars in New York.

There are very few things that happen in the underground world of New York that they don't know.

As for the upper class, this has to give them time.

It does not send people into the target’s family as servants, or buys or threatens people who are already servants, or other people who can reach the target.

And Li Changheng knew very well that the killer organization looked mysterious, as if anyone could kill anyone if he wanted to.

But what is really powerful is their intelligence capabilities.

Of course, those movie protagonists like Son of Destiny are exceptions.

With accurate information, people like Barney and Trenches can easily become powerful killers.

As for the ace killer, it depends on talent and experience.

It is definitely faster and more comprehensive than the old Corleone who is not in the flour business to spend money to buy Gabriel Cordiz's information at the Continental Hotel.

But he didn't know that Corleone had been investigating the Tatalia family and the other three families in New York for three months.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, at Corleone Manor on Long Island, Tom Hagen took the letter and walked quickly to the study of the godfather on the second floor.

After knocking on the door and entering, Old Corleone, who looked obviously older, finally asked with a smile on his face, "Is the letter delivered?"

"Yes, father."

Tom put the letter on the speaking table and whispered, "The people below reported that it was sent by a tramp."

Old Corleone smiled and waved his hand, "It seems that the young man is still as cautious and mysterious as before, and there is no need to send someone to investigate it. I can't find it."

"Understood, father."

Tom remembered that for more than a year, before Sonny died, he had searched for someone, and in the three months after Sonny's death, he and his godfather had done the same.

Don't say you have found someone, you can't even find out what they are called or where they were born.

Asked Mike hiding in Sicily, he only knew that the opponent had a stable channel for the best diamonds.

But probably because Mike left New York, the young man who had saved the godfather, Mike, and had traded colored diamonds with Mike, is just as he said.

Only trade and contact with Mike, and disappeared without a trace for more than a year.

But I didn't expect that Sonny would suddenly receive a call from the other party for more than three months after hiding in an accident, as well as this letter sent by someone.

Old Corleone, who was on the phone with Mike Corleone in the evening, suddenly felt a sense of ease that he could finally pay back the favor.

After all, the Corleone family is so difficult at this time. If it is a big favor to help a sniper who doesn't know his identity or where he will appear, he may establish a friendship once and twice.

When the family is at its weakest, any assistance will seem commendable.

Opening the envelope, Corleone frowned after only a few glances.

Just by looking at the content of the letter, he could see that the young man who did not know his identity had made revenge with the Mexican flour merchant.

Moreover, after experiencing the meaning between the lines for a while, it seemed that this was trying to clean up all the members of the Cordis family.

Does the young man from a year ago have this strength?

Or is there a bigger force behind him?

But when he thought of his successor and the death of his eldest son Sonny, Old Corleone immediately picked up the phone and dialed out.

Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

The five major families in New York did not do flour business in the Corleone family, but this does not mean that Corleone did not know where the flour came from.

After more than a year of vendettas, the business of the Tatalia family, old Corleone had almost checked at this time.

Otherwise, he, who has no hole cards, would not be planning to negotiate with the Tatalia family.

The two sides truce in exchange for Mike Corleone to return safely and slowly take over all the family's business and affairs, so that in the future, Mike will take full control of the entire family.

Looking at Tom with a frown and a serious face, Old Corleone ordered, "Find someone to check if something big happened recently."

"Okay, father."

Tom picked up the phone, called several people, then frowned further and hung up the last person's call.

"Father, there is news that Gabriel Cordis, a newly-rising owl in central Mexico, died in a small town in Arizona this morning.

Moreover, he was trapped in a sports car and burned alive. "

"That's right."

Old Corleone thought with a smile. It was so intense that he would burn a reader to death. This made it clear why the young man wanted other members of the Chacordis family~lightnovelpub.net~ There must be a great deal of it here. At least 30% of the businesses of Tatalia and several other families in New York were provided by Gabriel Cordis, a big drug lord who had only risen a few years ago.

It is in the interest of the Corleone family at this time to destroy the opponent's business.

In other words, although he and the young man have different enemies, they have the same interests in the same group.

"You go to rest, Tom, I will go back to my room later."

Tom knew that the godfather did not want to let himself know something, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Then, good night, father."

Although it seems that there was only one night to check, but in the three months after Sonny's death, old Corleone had already checked a lot of things.

I picked up the phone to call the relationship I had contacted before. After paying some price, it was easy to find out that Gabriel not only has a pro-elder brother and cousin, but also mixes in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

There is also an uncle Carlos Cordiz who helps him control the flour business in central Mexico.
