“In case you get the money and then go to the police, how will our interests be guaranteed?”
The godfather asked, “Then what do you want?”
Jesse’s assistant busily said, “We will pay you each two million dollars first,”
“And the remaining three million dollars will be paid in thirty-six installments over three years!”
“Dream on!” The godfather said without thinking,
“You only have one choice, within 24 hours, but five million dollars into each person’s account,”
“Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!”
Jesse’s assistant was still trying to argue: “Then how can our interests be protected? You have to give us some protection, right?”
The godfather said arrogantly, “You have my promise!”
“Promise ……” Jesse’s assistant said in a cold voice:
“Who dares to believe in such a promise without sufficient guarantee?”
The godfather asked rhetorically, “Do you think you have any other choice but to choose to believe me?”
Jesse’s assistant was at a loss for words.
Jesse, who was on the side, also seemed to have given up resistance and waved his hand at him.
Jesse’s assistant had to grit his teeth and say,
“Fine! Then do as you say! I’ll send you an email address later after you tally the list and the account number of the receipts,”
“Send it to my email, plus I need the family members of each missing person to take a video so that the money doesn’t fall into other people’s pockets!”
“Okay!” The godfather resisted the urge to cheer loudly and said in a cold voice:
“Send me the email address, I will prepare everything!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The moment the phone hung up, he excitedly cheered loudly, “They promised! They said yes!”
The stage was a sea of joy, with cheers that nearly turned the church into a fish market.
Some people couldn’t even hold back their excitement, cheering loudly while jumping in place, their excitement was overwhelming.
The godfather was in a trance for a while,
He looked at the crowd of excited revelers on stage and suddenly had a feeling of being out of control and confused.
He vaguely remembered that in the distant 2006, when the Italian men’s soccer team won the World Cup, the people’s excitement seemed to be just like this.
Even, perhaps even more than that, almost meaningful.
The old man, who had previously lost three sons and was about to become the second godfather, was red-faced and excited at this time, shouting:
“Five million a person, that …… doesn’t mean that my three sons can get fifteen million dollars?!”
Immediately someone rebuked him: “Albert, you are simply a piece of sh!t!”
“You must not forget that it was the lives of your three sons that were exchanged for that!”
Albert coldly questioned: “Pippin, what do you mean? I see you were very excited just now,”
“Now you come to rebuke me, do you think you are missing a son, only get five million dollars, really too bad?”
“If I had known that, then I might as well let your two daughters join the group as well!”
“You …… you ……” Pippen for a time did not know how to respond, can only be furious, and said:
“I have long wanted to let them both join the gang, but the gang had rules,”
“that did not allow women to participate in the group’s affairs, it is all the fault of that damned DiNorscio!”
