Chapter 142: Rescue
The most difficult thing for people is to recognize themselves, many times some people can not get their current status because of their ability, or because of luck, or because of their origin, or because of other reasons, usually, if they can clearly understand their limits, maybe it can be better; And once you don't see this clearly, you think that you can and should get a higher position, more power, then the tragedy begins.
Carlo Rize is like this, he has lived a rich life because he married the daughter of the Corleone family, but he doesn't know it yet, he thinks that he can use this to enter the inner circle of the Corleone family and wield more power, instead of being able to guard a small casino like now, even if he can't even manage this small casino.
It's a pity that the old godfather has long seen through this person, thinking that he is not capable of participating in this, and would rather give him and Connie money and let them live a comfortable life that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve than give him power.
He was very dissatisfied with this, and even looked at Connie not as pleasing as before, and beat him at every turn, Connie went home and told old Vito a few times, but Vito was an old-fashioned person, always talking about Connie's mother, saying that his wife had not done anything that could make him do it.
Santino was furious when he heard the news, and took someone to the casino to beat Carlo, but was severely stopped by his godfather.
However, while Santino was beating up Carlo Retze, a member of the Tartaglia family was betting in the casino, and he reported the matter to the Tataria hierarchy, and Philip Tartaglia was keenly aware of this opportunity, but after that, because of the godfather's obstruction, Santino never gave them a similar opportunity.
At the same time, the war between the Corleone family and the other families became more and more intense, they attacked each other's business, strictly forbade the Corleone family's business to enter their territory, got rid of the heads of the clothing union and dock union, and killed their allies in the underground casino.
Tessio and Kleimansha found two buildings in the city to be barracks, covered with mattresses, where the family's most loyal and capable thugs lived, and could strike quickly with a single order.
Santino is also arranging for people to monitor the patriarchs of other families, trying to find an opportunity to kill them all at once, but unfortunately these people quickly hid their tracks and moved underground, it is difficult for Santino to catch them, and even Shen Long can't collect everyone's whereabouts, he can only find the whereabouts of Basini and the Tataglia patriarch.
No way, he still has a few people available to him now, and he can monitor two of them are already Rocco, Albert and Might, they are very capable, and sometimes even he has to come out to follow a certain big guy.
Problems were also found within the Corleone family, the peace had been too long, eroding the fighting spirit of Tessio and Klaymanshah, Klaymansha was still an excellent killer, but he had lost the energy to command the army, Tessio was still shrewd, but his heart had become softer, and he was not very willing to give up the family business in Brooklyn.
As for Tom Hagen, he is a good hand at handling business matters, but when it comes to gang fighting, he can't handle it, and he is not a Sicilian after all.
Santino is also aware of his shortcomings, you ask him to lead people to fight the enemy, he is absolutely good at it, he has long established the image of the most ferocious and cunning killer in the New York underworld, since the death of Luca Blasi, no one has been able to compete with him for this position.
However, it's not enough for you to put him in command of the entire family, analyze intelligence, look for weaknesses in the enemy, and socialize with the high-sounding bigwigs, tempting or forcing them to do what the Corleone family needs them to do!
These things made Santino's heart suffocate, and he didn't want to find a chance to vent all the time, but the other families didn't give him this opportunity, but another person sent him to the door, and Connie, who was already pregnant, called crying, telling her about being beaten by Carlo Ruize.
Unbeknownst to her, this was a conspiracy, and the Tartaglia family told the Bassini family about Carlo's beating of Connie, and the important figures of the Bassini family approached Carlo and did not know what to tell him, he agreed to cooperate with the Bassini family in the play, beat Connie as usual, and gave her the opportunity to call home.
Santino was furious when he heard the news, he loved his little sister very much, and immediately rushed out of the door and drove into the car to teach Carlo a lesson, and at this time the godfather was falling asleep upstairs, although he was not injured, he was very tired from lying in bed and not being able to come out, no one had time to stop Santino, only two bodyguards ran into the car and followed Santino.
The car was driving on the Jones Beach causeway, and there were not many cars on the road now, so he drove the car so fast that he quickly left the bodyguard behind, and when he was about to approach the toll booth, only one car was blocked in the toll lane.
Santino slowed down the car, honked the horn, the car slowly left, he stepped forward and handed over a large bill, when the toll collector was about to give change, the change fell, he quickly looked down to look for it, and in front, the door of the car opened.
"Bang bang bang! Sonny, get down! As soon as Santino sensed that something was wrong, he heard a burst of gunshots, and a familiar voice shouted not far away.
The instinct of years of underworld fighting made him react immediately, desperately lowering his body and lying under the front seat of the car, with the engine in front of him, which is the most bulletproof place on the car.
The toll collector stood up from the toll booth suddenly, he had no change in his hand, and he held a Thomson submachine gun in both hands, and two people got out of the car in front of him, and pointed the same weapon at Santino's car; Ever since Al Capone first used the weapon in Chicago, many American gangsters have embraced it.
Because of its "clicking" sound, these gangsters affectionately call it the Chicago typewriter, and because it can be easily tucked into a violin case, some people call it the Chicago violin.
Santino saw the toll collector's weapon through the window, and he was in despair, the side door couldn't stop the Chicago typewriter bullets, and he only had a small pistol in the car, and he hadn't had time to get it.
The other party showed a hideous smile, his finger pressed on the trigger, and at this moment, several more gunshots rang out, several red dots appeared on the toll collector's chest and fell, and the killer next to the car in front of him approached to pull the trigger, and the bullet fell on the Santino car.
