Chapter 5 Negotiations Before the War

Many years ago, "Forkbone" was just a southern-style restaurant with diced cheese as its selling point, but no one could have expected that by the 22nd century, forkbone became synonymous with luxury hotel chains on the North American continent.

In Chicago, ForkBone has two branches, in Lupp District and Michigan Avenue, which are favored by financial oligarchs and nobles in the city.

On this day, in the luxury room of the Fork Bone Restaurant in Lup District, the two second bosses of the Luches family and the Genovese family were going to have a meal together. Of course, they were not alone at the banquet, a few experienced gunmen and a personal bodyguard, which is a must-have for the gangsters when negotiating. If you don’t bring a brother out with full armed force, you will be embarrassed to say hello to your colleagues.

The idea for this meal was proposed by De Witt. He asked Joseph to send a person with identity to bring Sunny to the table and communicate with the other party about the black and black eating on Valentine's Day night. After listening to some of De Witt's plans alone, Joseph agreed and sent the second boss of the Luches family, his cousin Tommy Galliano, to be the negotiator.

Joseph seemed to be very confident in DeWitt's plan. He even secretly instructed Tommy to speak less during the negotiations and asked DeWitt to talk to the other party. As for Sunny, Joseph only said one sentence to him: "My dear nephew, about this supper, my request for you is very simple, close your mouth!"

For the Genovese family, Frank Genovese, as the second boss, was responsible for the banquet, and they were actually quite surprised. According to common sense, with the fact that Sunny and Tony had a strong relationship, after such a thing happened, the Luches family should remain calm and try their best to clear things. But unexpectedly, the other party suddenly called the headquarters (the Genovese family has many legal industries on the surface) and said that they would invite your boss to dinner. Could it be that the old fox of Joseph finally decided to destroy his relatives for justice and hand over Sunny to calm the matter down?

This is not impossible, but what is more likely is that Hongmen Banquet is more inauspicious.

Frank has always been suspicious. No matter what kind of education and beliefs the people born in this era have received, when you truly begin to understand the world and history, you will understand that traditions and beliefs are simply unreliable. Pure violence can crush everything, and even religions have been destroyed by the empire. What are the mafia people still sticking to?

So in addition to his accompanying men, Frank also ambushed many gunmen around the hotel, ready to start a war at any time.

The result of victory will be recorded by history. As for the means, let the loser be confused. The death of Tony and Joe is just the last straw that crushes the camel. Tonight, it is likely that the beginning of a war. The two most powerful families in Chicago may finally be determined.

…………

February 17th, 7:00 pm.

Several extended versions of Lincoln were driving towards the Forkbone Hotel, sitting in the car were the bosses of the Luches family and their accompanying men.

In one of the cars, there were two informal members of the family, the so-called partners mentioned by the Mafia.

Devite and Mike attended in formal wear today, but Mike's face looked very bad. In fact, he didn't want to come, but Devite found a very good reason. If you have the chance to hack the information of a large number of senior members of the Genovese family, why not come?

Mike's already pale face was sweating all over his face: "Do you know, my eyes kept popping up, and the driver suddenly turned around and shot us with a silencer pistol, or the luxury car I was riding in suddenly exploded."

"You've watched too many movies." Devit replied immediately.

"I don't quite understand what you want to do tonight," Mike said.

"Aren't you quite smart? Guess it," Dewitt said.

Mike's mouth twitched: "Three situations I can think of, first, you put the shit basin on Sonny's head and pushed him out to the people of the Genovese family, and let others deal with it. This is the best strategy; second, you admit that the matter was done by yourself, tell the story of the black and black, apologize, and return the money to others, and ask the other party to spare your life for the sake of the Luches family. This is a big strategy. Whether you can survive depends on the other party's reaction; third, it is naturally a bad strategy, and it is also based on my lack of deep understanding of you. For example, you said to the second boss of the Genovese family with a disdainful look on your face, "I will not pay back the money. Today, I will let you know. When you meet me, you will recognize it and take a detour."

"Hahaha..." Dewit smiled and said, "Your Chinese is very good. I thought you were just Asian born in North America."

"Nonsense... all schools around the world teach Chinese and English. I am a top student no matter how you say it. It is the minimum to master two languages. Besides, I just think that using Chinese can show your character more vividly..." Mike said: "Don't mess around, can you tell me in advance which method you are going to take? Although I think any of these three situations will likely end in gunfights and massacres, at least I hope to be mentally prepared."

Dewitt said: "So what can I do when I tell you?"

Mike said; "How about it? Crawl under the table at a faster speed, what do you think?"

Dewitt said: "The method is good, but I think after the situation escalates, grenades and other things may join the battle. By then, you will be useless to drill anywhere."

Mike laughed dryly: "Well, look at this, before the conflict escalates, you can hint that I left the seat and went to the toilet for a long time."

Devit replied very simply: "No way."

While the two were chatting, the car had stopped. A hotel waiter opened the door to the back seat: "Welcome to the Forkbone Hotel, gentlemen, I wish you a happy evening."

…………

The atmosphere in the private room was indescribable. In the past, the godfathers in the city negotiated, and sometimes went to hotels, but they usually chatted in spacious houses, smoking cigars.

But tonight, four people were in the seat on an exquisite square dining table. Tommy Galliano and DeVitt were Tommy Galliano and DeVitt, and the Genovese family were Frank Genovise and his confidant bodyguard, the gypsy Oni. Everyone else, including Sonny, who was already full of anger, always followed his thug Garva and Mike, stood around and watched.

This box is not very big, and the two gangs have to stand separately and guard each other. The four of them have to eat in such a bright and tense environment. This scene looks really funny.

"It's a damn good idea to ask dozens of people to come out to have dinner together, right? It is said that Hong Kong gangs at the end of the 20th century did this, but they wouldn't go to high-end hotels, and the weapons they carried were cold weapons." Mike said to Gava beside him, his tone as if he was complaining and joking.

Gawaze glared at him with his fierce eyes: "Do you want to be torn to pieces by your own people?"

Mike had to shrink his neck and shut his mouth. It seemed that he and such a rough man could not find any common language.

The hotel waiter has a very strong psychological quality. When he came in to serve the dishes, he calmly reported the name of the dishes with a smile, saying, "What else should I do if I should do, and his hands pouring wine were as steady as Mount Tai. He did everything properly and asked, "Is there anything else I need to serve? Sir."

After the elder brother was paid, Dewitt stuffed something into his mouth and said, "What's wrong, gentlemen? Why don't you use a knife or fork? Isn't it to your appetite?"

Frank frowned and said to Tommy as DeWitt was air, "Who is this kid?"

Tommy replied bluntly; "Joseph said he was a consultant."

This sentence is like a thunderclap on the ground. Except for a few people who knew about it in advance, the mafia people in the whole house were in a big uproar.

Frank's face changed slightly and he quickly calmed down: "Are you kidding?"

Dewit interrupted again: "Hey, gentlemen, do you know that it costs forty dollars to order a milkshake here? It's milk and ice cream. It's not wine or ingredients, and it costs for forty dollars to put some sliced ​​fruits. You're just kidding you if you're indifferent to the dishes in front of you?"

Frank couldn't bear it anymore and turned to Dewit and said, "If you kid command me how to eat, I will twist your head off and hollow out the milkshake that will be used for 40 yuan a cup."

Dewitt said: "That's right, this is the attitude of negotiations. So, let me tell you all the issues you are interested in at one time. First of all, I don't care whether you believe it or not, anyway, I am the consultant. Secondly, on the night of the 14th, your money is now on my side, and I don't plan to return it to you. Finally, all your subordinates are finished, and I say I'm responsible for this matter. Do you have anything else to know?"

"Hahaha..." Frank suddenly laughed and laughed: "Tommy, do you have anything to say?"

Tommy was calm: "He is our partner now, and that's what I'm going to say."

"I think you know very well what that means," Frank said.

Tommy replied: "Of course I know. It's you who don't know the situation. You don't seem to know your situation very well."

Frank snorted coldly: "Lup District is not your territory, old friend, are you so sure that you are the only one who ambushed the manpower in the hotel?"

"Your confidence comes from the twelve gunmen you arranged in advance in the two rooms at the end of the corridor, and a total of fifty-five people lying in the parking lot, and two neighborhoods nearby."

Frank was stunned. What surprised him was not that the other party knew the ambush, but that DeVit could actually say such an accurate number of people. Is there a traitor around him? This terrible assumption made Frank, who had no one in his personality, almost crazy. His face was filled with haze and he stared at DeVit, and he said, "You know very specifically."

Dewit pointed at Mike behind him as if nothing had happened: "That Four-eyed man had blacked your phones on the way here. I know everything. Look, he is now holding his own computer to make trouble."

In an instant, everyone in the room turned their attention to Mike. He was originally out of place with the rest of the room. He was just like a college student playing with his mobile phone on the wrong set. Now everyone finally felt a sudden realization.

Mike really wanted to go forward and strangle Devitt to death from behind, but he was just thinking about it. The reality was that he giggled, contacted Frank's eyes, and waved to say hello.

Dewit continued: "Mr. Genovese, at this point, I guess you are about to overturn the table. This is a situation that everyone can foresee, so I suggest you slow down first and then listen to me to some more substantial content, which is the focus of what you will talk about today."

"Oh? What else are you going to say? Mr. 'Consultant'." He said the word "Consultant" clearly with a sarcastic tone.

"First of all, I want to declare that I have no grudges with the Genovese family, and my intention is not to destroy you. Of course, judging from the current planning process, it is inevitable to destroy you. If anyone of you or your subordinates can go back alive today, you might as well explain to Mr. Samuel Genovese directly that you are just an experimental product, and I have no intention of targeting you."

Even Frank wanted to punch him in the face himself, but De Witt said easily: "Anyway, after tonight, even if Luches and Genovese go to war, I can be sure that you will suffer heavy losses tonight and collapse in a very short time. But Genovese is a huge group, and you still have many serious businesses and many industries under your name. These are completely exploitable resources. Just imagine if you are dead, then these properties will be encroached on the empire. At that time, I will be difficult to deal with, so I can give you a chance now, Frank." De Witt ate all the last bite of food on his plate: "Now, at this moment, you still have a chance to accept unconditional surrender on behalf of your brother."

Frank seemed to be too angry, and he laughed angrily: "Tomy, hahaha... Where did Joseph find this kid? Is he a comedian? Are you crazy? Hahahaha." He suddenly turned the table up: "You killed our people, robbed our money, started a war, and then asked us to surrender before we could pay any bloody price?" He said, and pulled his gun while retreating. Bodyguard Onie moved faster than Frank. He raised his gun and aimed at Tommy Galliano's eyebrows.

"It seems that the answer is 'no'." Devit shrugged, not caring about being pointed at by a gun. He pressed a remote button that had long been hidden in his cuff.

In just one second, the entire hotel fell into darkness, and the sound of utensils shattered in the darkness. Every piece of glass in the hotel, whether it was a lamp tube, a bottle, a mirror, a window, or a chandelier, burst and shattered at the same time, and the people in the hotel fell to the ground as if they were hit by some invisible shock wave. Many people had blood in their eyes, and some were severely affected by blood.

But the people of Luches' family stood safely and soundly. Everyone took out the liquid lighting guns prepared in advance, and many blue and blue lights lit up in the dark box again.

The people in the Genovese family fell to the ground without exception. Although they could move, their vision was blurred and they could not find a sense of balance. Their heads were buzzing, and there was no possibility of standing up to resist.
