Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

David knew that old lady Catherine was right.

Angelo Bronte was a real big shot, controlling almost half of the underworld in Saint-Denis.

When it comes to gangs, Dutch's Van der Linde gang really pales in comparison to Angelo Bronte.

Angelo Bronte is the head of the Mafia family in Saint-Denis.

The Mafia is a secret society organization that originated in Italy. Its base is in Sicily, so it is also called the Sicilian Mafia.

In the 18th century, Europe set off a wave of immigration to the Americas. Mafia members flocked to the Federation, taking root in the Big Apple and operating throughout the Federation.

They control all illegal businesses such as gambling and pornography, and engage in professional criminal activities such as kidnapping, murder, robbery, etc.

There are various gangs within the mafia, and the leaders exercise family-style rule over the gangs.

The Mafia initially established its power in the Big Apple City area, and then spread to the entire eastern part of the federation. In the Big Apple City, it is responsible for five major families, namely the Buano family, the Colobo family, the Gambino family, and the Genovese family. family and the Lucchese family.

As of today in 1899, more than twenty families have developed in the federal mafia.

The Brontë family is the representative of the Mafia in the West.

The meaning of this ‘family’ does not mean direct blood relatives, but that all Italians who join it are part of the family.

Official members of the Mafia will only accept pure-blood Italians.

Mafia families inherit the traditional minority elite system. Therefore, large families have about 100-200 people, and generally have 50-60 people. In addition, there is also the Mafia partnership system.

Obviously, being able to occupy Saint-Denis meant that Angelo Bronte belonged to a large family.

If David cooperates with Bronte in the private wine business, it means that he can become a Mafia partner, and through Bronte as a bridge, he can even sell private wine to the entire eastern part of the Federation, where all the Mafia people are.

In fact, the current development model of the Mafia is the most in line with the times for gangs. The Mafia at this stage is in a period of rapid development.

After Prohibition, that is, after 1920, relying on the huge profits from bootlegging, the Mafia's economic strength was not inferior to that of the major consortiums in the federation, and it also ushered in the peak period of the Mafia in the federation.

In the plot of the previous game, the reason why the Van der Linde Gang was able to capture Angelo Brontë was also due to the attack, and also because Brontë was conceited and careless, and mistakenly underestimated the strength of the Van der Linde Gang.

When it comes to a real fight, it's obvious that the Van der Linde gang can't be Bronte's opponent.

"Of course, it's a wonderful thing to work with Mr. Brontë."

"However, my men cannot die in vain, and my reputation must be compensated."

"I... want to see sincerity."

"A beautiful young lady, that's not enough."

David said unceremoniously that the Mafia is indeed powerful, but they are not unified, and there are also fierce struggles within them.

Even if Bronte is killed, it doesn't mean that David has become enemies with the entire mafia.

When hearing such words, the first person who felt uncomfortable was Penelope.

Although she had no other thoughts about David, this feeling of being looked down upon was something that any young lady who was conceited about her beauty would reject, not to mention that David made it clear.

The old lady Catherine's face also became a little gloomy.

In her mind, David wanted to marry her daughter, but from what she heard, David had no intention of getting married at all. Instead, she wanted to treat her like a maid.

"So, Mr. Callander, what do you want?" the old lady Catherine asked, staring at David.

David poured himself a glass of red wine with a calm expression, and shook the red wine glass gently, letting the blood of wine continue to flow on the wall of the glass.

"Mrs. Braithwaite, my request is very simple. First of all, the Laremy gang must pay a sufficient price, especially this guy Laremy. He must use his head to pay tribute to my men."

"Secondly, there are those winery managers who hired the Laremy Gang behind the scenes. I want them to pay for my reputation. Maybe being hanged on the gallows would be a good place for them."

"It is of course a very good idea to cooperate with Bronte in the moonshining business, but the production of moonshine can only be done in my territory, and Mr. Bronte is responsible for the sales."

"As for the method of cooperation, this is not something Mrs. Braithwaite can decide, and it doesn't make much sense to talk to you about it."

"If these conditions of mine can be agreed to, then I will negotiate with Mr. Bronte personally."

Although David acted forcefully and even a little rude, these conditions did show his sincerity in cooperation.

This made the old lady Catherine's expression soften.

"I'm sorry, as you said, Mr. Callander, whether it's about the Laremy Gang, the winery manager, or the cooperation in bootlegging, these are not things that I can make the decision about."

"I will tell Mr. Bronte about this. Please wait for a few days. I believe there will be a satisfactory answer."
