old dream

Chapter 224 Going to a City
"Big Boss" had a hoarse voice, and continued to speak as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't noticed the chaos in the audience.

But Colin had already stood up with a gloomy face.

More than half of the people present were discussing in low voices, while staring at him with complicated eyes, with surprise and jealousy.But Colin ignored it. Instead, he put the glass on the waiter's tray, squeezed sideways into the airtight crowd, and walked towards the podium with difficulty.

Marizio is too self-righteous, Colin thought to himself while pushing other people's bodies away with his hands.

Maybe it's because I've stayed in that position for too long, so I'm used to imposing my ideas on others.

But no matter how Marizio usually treats his subordinates and other patriarchs, Colin never thought that he would dare to ignore his own attitude and publicly announce this decision that he had already rejected.

He wanted to drag the Stade Institute into this muddy water.

Even though it was the moment of the curtain call, he still arrogantly thought that he was in control of the overall situation, thinking that he could manipulate Colin and Luca under his control.

"...this will ensure that after I leave... all organizations will not be in chaos."

Marizio was still talking in a low voice.

Colin walked to the podium, where he could clearly hear what the "big boss" was saying.He seems to intend to stay in Stade after leaving office and give some "assistance" to the next chief patriarch.

Colin didn't intend to save face for Marizio any more. He wanted to go up to the stage and declare on the spot that he never agreed to become the patriarch of five hands.

But when his shoes stepped on the first step, they were pulled from behind.

Colin frowned and looked back, only to find that the person holding him back was Luca.

There was no obvious expression on his face, he just shook his head imperceptibly to Colin, indicating that he didn't need to make any movements.

Luca didn't seem to be jealous of Colin because of the decision announced by Marizio.

Obviously Luca.He is the one who most wants and should be the "big boss".

Colin was slightly surprised by this, and then he felt a little relieved for this years of trust.

And if Luka didn't misunderstand, then he didn't need to rush to declare anything.

Colin decided to wait.

Marizio's decision amounted to a declaration of war.So almost everyone is waiting for Luca to make a statement.

But he was the one who reacted the most coldly on the field, saying nothing, and did not leave the field to protest.

Without his instructions, the patriarchs who followed Chestalo could not take any action even if they were in a hurry.

After all, this is the center of the vortex where the two sides wrestle.

As a result, Marizio's speech went on so smoothly, and nothing happened until the end.

But everyone understands that Luca cannot accept this result.

When Marizio's speech ended, the scene fell into a suffocating silence.

All past conventions were put on hold, and nothing else was worth discussing on the eve of this turmoil.

Therefore, this most important patriarchal meeting in recent decades has actually become the shortest one in history.Everyone seemed to just get together to eat and drink, and there was a strange silence throughout the whole process, and then they went home.

…………

Colin followed Luca back to the office on the upper floor of the "Aspen Hotel".Despite devouring all the riches of the Rizzo family in a few days, Luca has no intention of changing his life.

"I think you know me," said Colin:

"I just need some money, I never thought of sitting in that troublesome position."

The "big boss" with five hands does not only mean wealth.Even without considering the extraordinary level, the things involved in the five hands are far more complicated than that of the Stade Institute.

After all, it governs hundreds of gang organizations, large and small, and has to accompany more than [-] Sincilian immigrants through their later lives.

And at the moment Marizio announced that he was the next big boss, Colin guessed that his name had already appeared on countless assassination lists.

"There's no need to explain anything between us."

As Luca said, he hung his coat on the hanger:

"Even if you want to be the leader of the Five Hands, it's normal. Gang members who can get ahead are not without ambition."

He went back behind his desk.

"Remember I made a promise to you a few months ago." Luca recalled:
"It would allow you to take your own people to Danaro, and be there, and live like the mayor there."

"Now is the time to cash in."

Luca sat down on the swivel chair and looked up at Colin slightly:

"If you don't like Danaro, you can choose a city at random. Any one in the principality is fine. Then the redstone and bootlegging industry there will belong to you. I guarantee that your status will not be inferior to Five-handed 'big boss'."

"But it can't be Stade?" Colin asked.

"Yes, that's right." Luca added:

"This is also an equivalent exchange. As compensation for giving up inheriting the Caruso family, you can rule the underground world of a city outside Stade."

"Why?" Colin didn't quite understand.Why is Luca obsessed with Stade today.

It's nothing special.

"Because there is the largest Sincilian settlement in the principality, Nanstadt." Luka said.

But that's not an advantage.Because it is also the most unintegrated and destitute slum of all immigrant communities due to its size.

Its profits are not much higher than other cities, but its troubles are much more.

"Colin," said Luca:

"My purpose is not money or anything else, but to return to Sindhi one day and change everything that is outdated there."

So he had to take control of Southstadt, the first stop of the Sincilian principality into the alliance.

"But, just leave it to me so easily?" Colin asked.

Marizio has essentially lost the power to choose an heir, and his decision has no effect on the balance of power. This is probably the reason why most patriarchs will remain calm.

Luca said it was an exchange of equal value, but the price on Colin's side was actually too low.

What Luka once promised to Colin was just an undeveloped wild land, not the fertile fertile soil that has been cultivated as it is now.

I did not contribute to this round of expansion of Lucca, so I am not entitled to take away a city, which is not fair to other family members.

Unless, Luca's asking price has not been fully disclosed.

"Of course there is one more condition. It is good to complete it before leaving Stade." Luca continued after a short pause.

At this moment, his vision suddenly became extremely sharp:

"—I want you to kill Marizio with your own hands."
