Edward did not immediately tell Li Yi the purpose of talking to him, but picked up the cigar on the table and threw it to Li Yi, then picked up one by himself, first put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then lit it, took a light sip, and then he slowly closed his eyes and vomited a faint smoke, with the expression on his face extremely comfortable.

Seeing Edward's comfortable expression, Li Yi couldn't help but remember the appearance of those addicts when they were taking drugs.

"This is the latest product. It has not appeared on the market yet. Try it, it is more than the other brands of cigars." Edward slowly opened his eyes and said to Li Yi with a smile.

Li Yi didn't say anything, but picked up the matches on the table, lit the cigar and took a sip, but he didn't notice any difference from the previous cigars.

"It seems that you are not an expert in this regard." With just a glance, Edward saw that Li Yi had not studied cigarettes, at least he had not studied much about cigars.

In fact, this is true. In the past life, Li Yi almost didn't smoke. Although he smoked from time to time in this life, he mostly smoked when he was thinking about it.

This has also become a habit of him.

"Well, I'm not very interested in this thing." Li Yi glanced at the cigar in his hand and replied with a smile.

This time, Edward did not speak immediately, but sucked a cigar gently, as if brewing words. Smoke surrounded his face and under the light, his expression seemed a little weird.

"Li Yi, as an ally of the Gambino family, I feel very relieved." Edward spoke again, his tone unremarkable: "As the patriarch of the Gambino family, I thank you on behalf of the entire family."

Perhaps he didn't expect Edward to say thank you, Li Yi was a little surprised, and then he shook his head: "Once upon a time, when I had nothing, Anne helped me many times. It was my duty to help her, let alone, as you said, I am an ally of the Gambino family."

"So, I want to know which reason is more important?" Edward suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yi's face.

At this moment, Li Yi felt an invisible pressure. As the godfather of the No. 1 mafia in the United States, Edward's sudden burst of momentum is enough to be described as horror, but Li Yi's psychological quality is enough to be described as expressive. Facing Edward's pressure, he seemed very relaxed. He looked at Edward meaningfully: "Do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"

"Of course it's the truth." Edward raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a hoarse voice.

"Huh~" Li Yi let out a deep breath of smoke and said, "The former."

"Oh?" Hearing Li Yi's answer, Old Edward smiled: "Young man, before this coup, you had completely stood on the opposite side of the Luches family. Once my family loses this duel, the Luches family will never let you go. In such a situation, is it more of an Anne who comes to help the Gambino family?"

"Yes, Mr. Edward, you heard it right." Li Yi smiled indifferently.

Edward took a deep breath and stared at Li Yi's eyes: "Young man, I know your past and present very well. You understand that if the Gambino family really fails, then all your efforts in the United States will be in vain. In this way, it is basically impossible for you to take revenge. Just imagine, in such a situation, do you think I should believe you?"

"Because I know that the Gambino family will not defeat. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Li Yi smiled slightly, then saw Edward's expression a little strange, and said seriously: "In addition, if you want to test the sincerity of my ally, I don't think this is necessary at all. The previous things are enough to prove everything, right?"

This time, Edward did not speak, but stared at Li Yi's deep and dark eyes strangely. Then, Edward smiled, smiling extremely happily.

"Young man, I am proud of my daughter's vision, and I am also grateful that my family has an allies like you." Edward sighed and said, "Young man, if the Gambino family encounters a huge crisis, you will help the Gambino family at all costs and promise not to hurt Anne, right?"

When Li Yi was shocked to hear Edward's words, he couldn't help but hopped a few times. He looked at Edward with some confusion, but he could not see any tricks in Edward's face.

As the veritable godfather of the mafia in the United States, Edward's disguise ability can definitely be described as excellent. If he cannot feel the true emotions in his heart, then he will not be qualified to sit in his current position.

"Yes! As you said, if the Gambino family loses, it will be a disaster for me. As for... Anne, I will never let her be hurt at any time!" Li Yi said word by word, with a very sincere tone.

Hearing Li Yi's words, Old Man Edward's corner muscles twitched slightly a few times, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Then he showed a happy smile: "Li Yi, if I don't trust you anymore, God will not forgive me!"

Perhaps he didn't expect that Old Edward had humorous cells, and Li Yi was a little amused and crying.

"Li Yi, I, the contemporary patriarch of the Gambino family and chairman of the Mafia Committee of the United States, Edward Gambino promises you that from now on, you will be a true ally of the Gambino family!" Edward changed his tone and his expression became very serious: "If you encounter trouble, the Gambino family will help you without hesitation, including sacrificing the interests of the family!"

Li Yi could hear that Edward's tone was very sincere and his attitude was very sincere, at least on the surface.

Although he was a little confused about Edward's strange performance tonight, Li Yi nodded: "As you said, I will let the facts prove that your choice between you and the Gambino family is correct!"

At this moment, Li Yi spoke very confidently!

"Well, let's witness all this." Edward nodded and said, "Okay, Li Yi, you must be tired all the way, go and rest.

Li Yi smiled, said nothing more, and directly exited the study.

After Li Yi left, Old Edward's expression immediately changed and became very calm. The eyes in his wise eyes continued to change. He sat motionlessly on the chair, and waited until the cigar in his hand was finished burning before slowly getting up.

Old Man Edward slowly walked to the portrait of Carlo Ganbino, the first generation of the patriarch of the Gambino family, stared at the portrait, and said with a little excitement: "I'm sorry, please forgive my incompetence. Maggots have appeared in the family. This is the shame and sorrow of the family! I promise you that I will make those maggots feel repentant for what they have done. Similarly, the glory of the Gambino family will never be lost in my hands! Believe me, the great ancestor, I can win this crazy gamble!"

The words of Old Man Edward echoed in the quiet study. After he finished speaking, the excited expression on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by calmness, that kind of absolute calmness!

But there is an unconcealed madness hidden deep in his eyes!

If someone familiar with Edward is present, he will definitely be shocked!

Because...Edward has always been an extremely calm person. No matter what he does, he always looks calm, as if everything in the world is under his control. He will be at ease no matter what trouble he encounters, rather than being crazy like now, like a gambler about to go to the casino!

...

After leaving Villa No. 1, Li Yi walked towards Villa No. 6 the same last time. On the way to Gambino Family Manor, Androv told Li Yi that Villa No. 6 is no longer allowed to live in, and is reserved specifically for Li Yi.

This also indirectly proves the significance of Li Yi to the Gambino family.

A cold moon hung obliquely on the dark sky, and the soft moonlight shone on the manor, adding a hint of chill to the originally deserted manor.

Unlike usual, there seemed to be many core members of the Gambino family living in the manor, and many villas were lit. Moreover, like outside the manor, the anti-counterfeiting measures in the manor have been significantly strengthened, and lurking stakes can be seen everywhere in the bushes on both sides of the road.

The moonlight shone on Li Yi's face, his brows frowned tightly, and reason told him that Edward's words tonight were too weird.

He carefully recalled the conversation he had with Edward before and found that Old Edward said so much, with only one purpose: to tie him to the Gambino family's chariot!

In fact, Li Yi is already on the same boat as the Gambino family, so there is no need for Old Edward to do this.

Could it be...

In the evening, an incredible thought surged into Li Yi's heart. After the thought appeared, his face changed.

Then, he stopped, squinted his eyes and thought for nearly half a minute before heading to Villa No. 6.

When Li Yi arrived at Villa No. 6, Sakura did not stay in the villa, but stood at the door waiting.

The cherry blossoms wearing red vests were a little eye-catching in the night. Under the moonlight, her expression was as cold as ever, but there was a trace of strange emotions in her cold eyes: worry.

However... when she saw Li Yi coming from a distance, the strange emotion in her eyes disappeared. At the same time, she coldly glanced at the bushes in the forty-five degrees northeast of the villa!

Under the moonlight, the cherry blossoms were like a god of killing, staring at the bushes with their eyes fixed on them, and their bodies remained motionless.

A breeze blew, blew the long hair of the cherry blossoms, and extremely slight sounds came from the bushes in the distance. Then, the cherry blossoms withdrew their gaze.

Soon, Li Yi came to Sakura and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is monitoring us." Sakura said softly.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and then gestured to Sakura to enter the villa to talk.

"When did you find out?" After entering the villa, Li Yi asked straight to the point.

Sakura recalled a little: "Ten minutes after I arrived at the villa, the target appeared, and then he kept lurking there. He left before you came."

Hearing Sakura's answer, Li Yi's brows frowned even tighter!

Because... on the way to Villa No. 6, he also discovered something abnormal!

"What is Edward going to do?"

Li Yi raised his head, looked at the ceiling, muttered to himself, and then after Androv's familiar face flashed through his mind, his expression gradually returned to normal.

When Sakura heard Li Yi's words, she wanted to ask something, but she heard footsteps outside the door, so she swallowed the words to her mouth back into her stomach, and then turned her eyes to the door.

Li Yi also heard footsteps, but he did not look back because the footsteps outside the door were a little familiar to him, and he knew the identity of the visitor.

A few seconds later, Johnson, who was well-dressed, walked in through the door.

"Hi Lee, I'm so bored. Come and have a drink with you. I won't disturb you, right?" Johnson asked politely after entering the door with a signature gentleman smile.

Unlike Androv and Edward, Johnson was still as usual, with an unconcealed charming smile on his lips, and the eyes in his eyes were still full of tenderness. His clothes were still as gorgeous and neat as usual. Although at night, his head shape was specially tidy, giving people a meticulous feeling.

It seems... the Mafia Committee's coup did not affect the famous playboy in the United States.

Seeing Johnson's relaxed expression, Li Yi had to admit that Johnson is definitely a talent!

In this case, you can have the leisure and elegance of drinking. This indifference and calmness are definitely not something that ordinary people can have!

Without waiting for Li Yi to answer, Sakura took the initiative to go upstairs, leaving room for the two to talk.

"Of course not." Li Yi smiled slightly, then walked straight to the wine cabinet, while Johnson slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

When Li Yi came to Johnson with two cups with a bottle of long-standing red wine, Johnson complained a little depressedly: "This day is so boring. I can't go anywhere. If I continue, I will go crazy!"

Obviously, the Gambino family and the Luches family started a war during this period. As Edward's son, Johnson could not attend various high-class gatherings as usual. After all, his identity is too special. If it is used by his opponent, it will definitely be a nightmare for the Gambino family!

"To be honest, you don't look like a member of the Gambino family at all." Li Yi smiled faintly, filled Johnson with a glass of red wine, and then poured himself another glass.

The two of them picked up the wine glass tacitly and touched it gently.

Although he was a little depressed, Johnson still bound himself with aristocratic etiquette. He did not drink a big sip, but just took a sip and his posture was very elegant.

"Lee, I know you're curious about why my mentality is so good." Johnson smiled mysteriously: "Lee, what do you think of the IQ of my sister and my father?"

"Very good." Li Yi said simply.

After hearing what Li Yi said, Johnson blinked: "That's right. Even you admit that they are excellent. What else can I worry about? If they are here and the family will not collapse, I have confidence in them. Instead of wasting brain cells to think about things that I never were interested in, it is better to recall those women who left me wonderful moments."

Edward's wise eyes and heart-wrenching momentum flashed through his mind. Li Yi had to admit that Johnson and Edward were not liked at all, and he was not like a member of the Gambino family at all.

Because... Johnson doesn't seem to care about the glory of the family.

Well, at least on the surface.

"I want to know, if your father heard what you said, how would he punish you?" Li Yi said with a smile at Johnson.

Johnson smiled indifferently: "Li, he has been disappointed with me for more than twenty years, and he doesn't care if he is disappointed once more."

Perhaps... the most depressing thing that Old Man Edward has in his life is to give birth to Johnson?

Hearing Johnson's words, Li Yi asked himself secretly in his heart, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
