American variety show: The Godfather, the Peace Ambassador, what the heck?

Chapter 233 The less hair, the stronger the fighting power.

The group then returned to the scene of the speed race via the same route.

The competition will last for several days, during which everyone can freely race, party, gamble on races, or seek other exciting activities.

On the way back, Brian drove Luca and they talked about some things alone.

Brian was still vivid in his mind's eye, and he didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Old Pigeon is really giving himself too much face!

He spared Toretto and his gang for his own sake!

Brian thought to himself that he owed Old Pigeon again, and he could never repay it, never.
"I sent you undercover, and you actually fell for someone's sister," Luca said with a teasing smile.

Brian laughed and said, "Old Pigeon, feelings are something you really can't control. Just like my admiration for you, it just keeps flowing and I can't stop!"

"Stop flattering."

"Old Pigeon, I swear!"

"Alright, alright."

Luca, of course, wouldn't ask that kind of painless question like "Mia or me, who do you choose?" He didn't consider Torreto's group as enemies, so that so-called option didn't exist for him.

“Now I’m giving you a new task,” Luca said. “I’ve said this is the last time, there won’t be a next time, Brian. Since you’re going to protect Torreto and the others, you’re in charge of this.”

Brian patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Luca: "Get them all to the truck drivers' union and make them members. That's your next task."

Joining the truck driver guild grants access to the [Guild Leader] skill, which also adds to the trust level.

Brian: "."

No, Old Pigeon, you're making a bunch of truck thieves members? That's a huge leap.

Luca frowned: "Is there a problem?"

Brian waved his hand: "No problem."

Luca's brow relaxed, and he smiled, saying, "Since you want to continue this relationship with Mia, you have to win over Toreto and the others. When you get married, I hope the wedding will be peaceful, and that Dom will be able to hold Mia's hand and hand her over to you."

marry
Brian hadn't thought about this before, but this incident made him realize his feelings for Mia.

If we can accompany each other all the way, that would be the best.

Fortunately, Old Pigeon supported me.

With hopeful eyes, Brian nodded gently: "Old Pigeon, don't worry, I will make Dom and the others members of the club as well."

[Bond: Close Friend]

Looking at the progress, Luca thought to himself, "Could it be that silly blond guy who was the first to get a partner?"
When Luca and the others returned to the competition venue, it was already around 10 a.m., and the new day's competition had begun.

"That's how it happened."

Outside an open-air campsite, Luca and his group sat under a sunshade, listening to Luca recount what had happened.

Luca: "I came to Los Angeles to investigate the truck robbery, and I also had a purpose in contacting you. However, I wasn't sure beforehand that you were the robbers; it was just a guess."

Toreto and his group were at a loss for words. Even Vince, who had a rather volatile temper, didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Luca.

Mia explained, “Old Pigeon, we’ve never stolen your gasoline, I can assure you of that. We never touch that stuff. If we had known beforehand that you were the union president, we wouldn’t have stolen any of your trucks.”

Luca's expression softened slightly, and Toretto, standing beside him, also explained and admitted his mistake, "Luca, we were wrong in this matter."

“I’ve already heard the apology. If it wasn’t you who stole my gas, then who was it?” Luca asked. “You’ve been in Los Angeles for so many years, do you have any leads?”

Luca is getting more and more confused about this. If it wasn't Toretto who stole the gasoline, could it have been Vincent's arch-enemy?
Luca remembered that in the original storyline, the gang of robbers Vincent faced stole things like bonds and rare earth elements, and even robbed a bank, but there was no storyline involving oil tankers.

However, their involvement cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, Luca is not entirely clear on how many other drive-by robbers are in Los Angeles; he has limited information, with most of it coming from the Delana family and the Russians.

"Other biker gang robbers," Torreto pondered. "I do know some of them, but we generally keep to ourselves and rarely interact. I don't know if they've robbed any tanker trucks."

"Go check it out."

Luca instructed, "Tell me if you need any help. This can be considered a collaboration between us. Vincent doesn't intend to let you off the hook completely; I'm just standing in the middle right now."

But as long as you help me catch those robbers, I can take care of the trouble with the police, so you can have no worries at all.

Toreto was taken aback. "You mean you want me to become a police informant?"

Luca took out an Oreo, ate it, and shook his head: "I'm not an informant, just a condition of the exchange. Brian treats you as friends, so I'll treat you as friends. I don't want to see Mia get hurt either, and you are Mia's older brother."

Luca's tone was very sincere, and the peaceful aura he exuded made Toretto feel a slight flutter in his heart. Apart from his brothers and sisters, he had never felt such strong trust and affection from anyone.

This feeling had been there since their first meeting at the auto repair shop, but Toreto felt it even more clearly now.

Do you treat them as friends?
He turned to look at his brothers, who were all staring at him, waiting for him to make the decision.

Torreto looked at Mia and Brian, the young couple, again, and finally chose to cooperate. "Okay, I agree to this. I'll help you find out who stole the gasoline."

[Bond: Friends]

[“Bald God of War” Unlocked]

[Toreto: SSR]

[Man and machine as one: omitted]

[Bald God of War: The less hair you have, the stronger you are. Being bald permanently increases your combat power by 15%]

[Learning Requirements: Friendship or higher bond level: Requires 60 Skill Fragments]

[Family Hero: Omitted]

[The Immortal Family: Omitted]

[Turning Enemies into Friends: No fight, no friendship; When the target is on the opposing side, your bond development efficiency is increased by 20%; After you shake hands and make peace, the bond development efficiency is increased by an additional 20% until you reach the close friend bond, at which point the skill effect disappears.]

[Learning Requirements: Bond level must be close friend or higher; 100 skill fragments required]

It's another rather abstract skill.

In the original storyline, when Torreto was abroad, he encountered many people from opposing camps, such as Inspector Hobbs, as well as many international criminals, such as a pair of brothers from the UK.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, but in the end, all of these people became Toreto's friends.

The aura of a family hero is too incredible.

With just the phrase "we're a family," everyone can put aside their grudges and become friends.

The peace ambassador took a liking to this skill of turning enemies into friends.

Luca will face too many enemies in the future. If he can have this aura to help him, he can reduce a lot of conflicts in the future. Whether it is turning enemies into friends or pretending to cooperate and then taking them down, this skill can be of great help.

An ability that increases the efficiency of bond development is extremely rare.

As for the other one, the "Bald God of War".
This skill is useful, but it doesn't seem very necessary.

Luca wasn't really keen on giving up his handsome hair in exchange for a 15% increase in combat power.

Being handsome is a lifelong thing.

Luca turned off the panel and looked at the bald, burly man in front of him, finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.

He thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. I need you and Brian to help me with this. Braga is recruiting drivers to help him transport goods, and I need you to infiltrate his team!"
