Marvel's The Force Awakens

"Master, we are here."

The driver's voice woke Joe up from his thoughts. He looked out the window and saw that the car was slowly stopping in front of the door of the house.Covindro House arrives.The four-story house, with 7000 bedrooms, a private kitchen and a small movie theater, is valued at a full $[-] million.Even among the Moretti family, it is considered a very valuable asset.

However, this property does not belong to any powerful person in the family.The previous generation of patriarchs of the Moretti family would spend their old age here with the retired elders of the family, and the younger generations of the family would also come here to visit the elderly and seek advice from them.

Due to the recent series of blows suffered by the Moretti family, several people immediately proposed to hold this year's family meeting here.Although it was not a violation of family tradition, Joe was surprised by the number of supporters of the proposal.After all, this situation has only happened twice in history, and both times had very special reasons.

After a few instructions to the driver, Qiao got out of the car.Two attendants in black silk suits stepped forward, took the briefcase from his hand with a smile, and followed him on both sides without saying a word.

Joe stepped through the door and walked through the maze of corridors with ease.As the heir of the family, he lived here for a year when he was 12 years old, and was trained every day by those idle old people.Although it was indeed quite boring and hard at the time, looking back, that time was still much easier than the current intrigues.

Joe walked into the conference hall. Due to the traffic jam on the road, most of the people had already arrived and were chatting in twos and threes with the people next to them in their seats. It looked a bit like a family gathering.Joe sneered.I'm afraid that in a few minutes, these guys will start biting each other like mad dogs because of a little benefit.

From across the table, Joe's father waved to him.Joe walked half way around the table, said hello to the people on both sides, and then sat next to his father.

"What's the asking price for those yellow-skinned monkeys?" his father asked from the side.Qiao became serious. As the current patriarch of the Moretti family, this was a question asked of him. He couldn't be careless in the slightest.

Because of his mistake last time, the leadership of the conflict with the Russian gang has been handed over to older people with more seniority.Qiao's scope of responsibility has been changed to the family's logistics. Although it is much safer, he cannot make convincing achievements here.

"The Yamaguchi Group has agreed to our offer. For fourteen boxes of regular goods, they are willing to pay an additional [-]% of the price to ensure that they can get priority in picking up the goods." Qiao replied respectfully.

"Your answer is"

"I rejected their proposal, but guaranteed that their goods would not be delayed. Moreover, I have disclosed the general information of this shipment to Mrs. Gao." Qiao's face was still serious, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes. A hint of pride.At this time, his father also smiled with satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, although the Yamaguchi-gumi haven't established a solid foundation here, we can't let them develop too easily. You have done a good job, and you will be fully responsible for the subsequent transactions with those Easterners."

"Yes." Joe smiled with satisfaction.Since his last mistake, he really needs some results to secure his position.There have been a lot of rumors in the family recently. Although the senior staff know that these are just rumors, it would be good to shut up those people.

At this moment, the last person walked into the hall, found his seat and sat down.The family meeting officially started at this moment.

Under the cover of night, Peter, who had put on his combat uniform, stood on the roof of the building next door.The cold night wind blew by, making him shiver and become even more excited.

The residential building he was in was about one meter higher than the roof of Cowendro's house, but the gap between the two buildings was more than six meters.Even a parkour master might not dare to attempt this jump at such a height.

Peter took a deep breath and took two steps back.After a short run-up, he suddenly jumped forward.At the moment when the altitude starts to decrease.Peter kicked hard again in mid-air and flew forward a few meters.

Peter's landing was not easy. His knees were sore from the shock, and he was carried forward a few steps by the inertia.

This also created a lot of noise, attracting the attention of a bodyguard who was patrolling on the roof.The man turned on his flashlight, raised his pistol, and cautiously moved towards the direction of the sound.

The bodyguard took a few steps forward and arrived at the place where the sound had just come from, only to find that there was no one there.

He frowned, pressed the button on the intercom, and was about to report the situation here.

At this moment, Peter suddenly jumped out from the shadow behind him.First, he punched him on the back of his head, then took out his electric shock stick and put it on his waist to shock him.Peter immediately grabbed his body that went limp at that moment, and turned off the intercom in his ear before he fell to the ground.

Peter took out the rope, tied the hands and feet of the unconscious bodyguard tightly, and then blocked his mouth with his own tie.After dealing with all this.Peter finally took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.Start researching what exactly you should do next.

As soon as the date with Gwen ended, Peter rushed here without stopping.Although I don't know what the Weasel guy is thinking, but that batch of arms must be related to the Moretti family.And the Moretti family happens to be holding a family meeting at this point, so it must be a bit fishy no matter how you think about it.

Although it would certainly be unwise to invade the opponent's lair when the opponent is most guarded, Peter, who has succeeded many times in a row, has already exploded with confidence.Moreover, if this matter caused any tragedy in the future because of his laziness, Peter felt that he would definitely feel guilty.

However, he did not realize that he had made a fundamental mistake in this action.

"Isn't it just a matter of selling the four stores in Hell's Kitchen to them? Since it's a matter that can be solved with money, why are we so desperate? Not to mention that the price they offered is not unacceptable." The person speaking plausibly at the table was Joe's uncle. Carlos.He is the most vocal person in the family's war-avoidance faction.He has spent most of his life trying to cleanse his family's property, but there are many people in the family who oppose his ideas.

"Then you mean that our Moretti family surrendered without a fight and were beaten by a gang that has only been around for less than five years. Do you know how much impact this will have on our reputation? If those crazy dogs If we want to fight, we will fight. The Moretti family has been established in New York for hundreds of years, and its foundation is spread throughout the city. It is not something that upstarts like them can shake."

The person who stood up to refute was Lear. Although he was a member of the Pang family, his enthusiasm for family glory was unmatched by most of the core members.His attitude allowed him to gather a large number of supporters, making his reputation in the family no less than that of some front-line leaders.

"Extremely stupid." Carlos sneered. "Just for your little self-esteem, are you going to let your family members shed their blood in this inexplicable war?"

"What about you?" Lear replied not to be outdone. "Have you been a coward for too long? Do you want the entire Moretti family to be like you, a dog that can only run away with its tail between its legs?"

Leal's words undoubtedly set off a tsunami around the table.The usual feud between the war faction and the peace faction was completely detonated at this moment.What had been a somewhat restrained discussion turned into a vituperative session.Joe's face looked a bit bad, but his father looked at the scene in front of him with interest.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Joe whispered in his father's ear and left the hall.No one among the people who were noisy and happy noticed his departure.

A bunch of bastards.Joe cursed in his mind.

Although they all present high-sounding appearances, they all have the same purpose: to shirk responsibility.The Moretti family has suffered too many losses in the recent conflicts, and those branches are now a little unable to command.If there could be a direct truce with the Russian gangs, everyone would be willing to do so.But everyone also understands that if the war wants to stop at this point, the Moretti family will probably have to pay more than just injuries.

Qiao sighed. The best way for them now is to contact the Colin family to fight the enemy together.But I don’t know why, no matter what conditions the Moretti family offered, the other party seemed unmoved.It seems that he has decided to continue his role as a bystander to the end.

Thinking of this, Qiao suddenly realized that something seemed wrong around him.As the family meeting is such an important event, they have ensured that they have enough manpower for defense tonight, and there should be at least twenty waiters on standby around the building at any time.But Joe had already walked through two corridors and still hadn't seen a soul.

"Boom"

At this moment, a sound like a landslide came from behind Qiao.Qiao was immediately shaken by the sound wave and stumbled to the ground, his vision also turned black for a while.

After a while, Qiao recovered and wiped away the nosebleed that had flowed from his nostrils for some time.Enduring the painful ringing in his ears, he quickly ran towards the conference hall.
