While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

Tom's car was in front, while Nikolai stayed far behind to avoid being spotted.

Nikola's car was a black Ford V8.

Nine and a half out of ten cars on the road are Ford V8s.

It's so ordinary it's unremarkable.

Furthermore, Nikola didn't rush to make a move, keeping a full thirty meters away from Tom's car.

Tom did not notice anything unusual.

Nikolai, like a venomous snake feigning sleep, waited for the perfect moment to strike.

After entering the Corleone family's territory, Nicolae got his chance.

Tom stopped the car, got out, and went into the China Market to buy groceries, as usual.

Nikolai chuckled and muttered dismissively to himself:

"Death God Tom is actually buying groceries himself?"

"A truly god-given opportunity."

Nikolai said one thing and did another;

He did not underestimate Tom in the slightest and chose the safest and most lethal method of assassination.

In a Chinese market, it would be too conspicuous for Nicholas, a white man, to go in; Tom would definitely be alert, making it difficult for him to take action.

Nikola parked his car on the side of the road, diagonally behind Tom's vehicle.

From this position, when Tom takes out his keys to open the car door, his back will be completely exposed to Nicholas.

This was also the best time for Nikolai to take action.

Nikolai is the top marksman in the Balkans; with a shot from behind, Tom is doomed!

Nikolai raised his favorite revolver, Nico, and covered it with his trench coat to avoid alerting passersby.

Nicole, it will be the gun that made Nikolai famous in the northern constituency, and it will also be the gun that ended everything for Nikolai.

Twenty minutes later, Tom walked out of the market carrying a bag of lamb rolls and various hot pot ingredients.

Tom was incredibly happy shopping for groceries today. He managed to haggle down the price by three cents from the groceries lady and even got her to throw in a bunch of cilantro.

Please call Tom and XiXi the bargaining expert.

Carrying large and small bags, Tom approached the car step by step.

Meanwhile, Nicole, in Nikola's hand, kept adjusting the direction of the gun muzzle as Tom moved around.

Tom has just left the market. There are many people at the market entrance, and there are people around Tom blocking the line of fire, so it's not easy for him to make a move.

Nikolai suppressed his anxiety and waited for Tom to walk to the car.

Once Tom reached the roadside, he was all alone.

Just as Tom stepped out the door, Nicholas didn't move; Tom's car started moving first.

The door locks of old-fashioned cars are all mechanical locks, with a noticeable small stick.

Press down to lock the car, pull up to unlock it.

The small stick on the driver's side door suddenly rose up, unlocking the car automatically.

At the same time, the car door opened automatically, but only made a small gap.

Tom instantly became alert!

Something is wrong!

The fact that the machine spirit is acting so proactively must mean something is amiss.

But now, we cannot reveal that we have discovered the anomaly.

The goal is to keep the enemy in the dark, believing that "the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark."

Tom pretended nothing was wrong and casually glanced around.

Tom's judgment was correct. If he panicked and ran directly to the car, Nikolai would abandon his pistol and simply pick up the Thompson submachine gun and start firing.

After walking a few steps, Tom also spotted Nicholas.

Tom immediately realized that Nicholas had come to kill him, and his hand, which was holding the lamb roll, reached for the pistol at his waist.

After Tom walked out of the crowd, Nikolai couldn't hold back any longer; he couldn't afford to miss at this distance!

Nikolai raised his revolver and fired three shots at Tom’s back.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang!"

In Nicholas's eyes, Tom had three bloody holes punched in his body and collapsed with a thud.

Deep red blood seeped from beneath Tom.

"what!"

Screams erupted, and passersby scattered and fled.

Nikolai was extremely satisfied. What Grim Reaper? Can he possibly defeat me, the number one gunman in the Balkans?

Completely unaware, look, you only fired three shots, so why were there four gunshots?

Nikolai smirked and prepared to drive away.

But a strange thing happened: Nikolai's body went out of control.

Could it be a demon that has taken control of me?

Nikolai twisted his eyes, looked in the side mirror, and understood everything.

It wasn't some supernatural or demonic power; I was just shot.

In the mirror, there is a small red dot on Nikolai's forehead, the kind that appears after being hit by a small-caliber pistol.

Nikola looked at Tom's "Gundam" and wanted to raise his Nico revolver to fire a few more shots.

Unfortunately, he could no longer lift his Nicole.

As he lay dying, something even more astonishing happened—

Tom's "Gundam" stood up, covered in blood, as if it had returned from hell.

I just saw it with my own eyes: Tom had three bloody holes punched in his body!

Was that just my imagination?

still?

Nikolai was convinced that he couldn't possibly miss at that distance!

But the truth is, Nikolai was just shot three times in the back.

Surprisingly, not a single shot hit; all shots missed.

What a load of bull! He's the Balkans' number one gunman, but he falters and misses at the crucial moment.

Tom glanced at Nikolai, who had been shot in the head, and thought to himself:

"Heh, the Kovic family, is it?"

"It seems the northern constituency will need a new leader."

Two or three minutes later, Sonny and Luca arrived with a group of his underlings.

If someone dares to cause trouble on the Corleone family's territory, how can the Corleone family ignore it?

Tom had a brief conversation with Sonny, and the latter understood the situation.

Upon hearing this, Sonny instantly turned red all over and said fiercely:

"Fuck!"

"The Kovic family is asking for trouble! I'll bring my men and sweep through the northern constituency!"

Tom grabbed Sonny's wrist, stopping him, and said:

"Don't act impulsively."

"Suppress this matter for now, and make sure it doesn't get out of the northern constituencies."

"While you're at it, investigate what's been happening in the Kovic family these past few days."

Sonny didn't understand why Tom was holding back, but remembering his godfather Vito's instructions, he nodded in agreement.

The New York Times and the Washington Post were immediately paying close attention to the purge of just one member of the Razor Party.

The Kovic family controls the entire northern constituency, making them several times larger than the Razor Party.

Tom might not be able to control the negative impact of a direct confrontation.

One wrong move could affect the election plan.

Tom wanted to downplay the incident and get rid of the Kovic family as quietly as possible.

About seven or eight minutes later, the police finally arrived at a leisurely pace.

Although Tom acted in self-defense, he was too lazy to argue with the police.

Luca, with his keen eye, took the initiative to find the police and took the blame for the shooting.

Before leaving, Luca stated that he would insist on self-defense.

Tom nodded and said he would have Vito contact a mob lawyer.

You can stay for one night at most, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to go home for dinner.

In addition, Tom took out several thousand dollars and stuffed them into Luca's hand, telling him not to be stingy and to use them to bribe the police.

Tom also said that he would give Luca a large sum of money once he was released.

Amidst the envious glances of his fellow underlings, Luca got into the police car.

After the police car took Luca away, Tom, protected by Sonny and others, went back into the market covered in sheep's blood.

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

Tom said he wants to have hot pot tonight, and even Jesus couldn't stop him!
