Ark, they don't revolve around you

"Your relationship is not as good as it seems online, but that person is doing evil things under your name because he is not from Syracuse and needs someone like you to speak for him."

The man behind him sighed as if from the bottom of his heart, "It's really bad, don't you think so? In the end, Texas is chained like a dog."

"I think we can work together, Miss Texas." The man's tone became more sincere. "As long as it works, you can escape from this vortex."

Texas looked up at the darkness in front of him. The twin moons were nowhere to be seen. "One question."

"what?"

"Are you planning to kill the Doctor?"

"That's not what I should be thinking about. I'm just a liaison soldier."

Texas stood up and looked back coldly: "I promised."

"Really?"

"You're right. As long as we can escape from the vortex of Syracuse, who would really want to stay in this lifeless place?" Texas remained indifferent.

After she finished speaking, she left calmly. A piece of paper appeared on the bench where she had been sitting, which contained the doctor's travel plans.

……

……

"Sir Alberto."

early morning.

At Alberto's residence in Volsini, a man came running towards them in panic.

Blood was gushing from his body, which stunned the guard, who subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But the man quickly produced a warrant, and the guard's face turned stern, and he immediately led him to Alberto Saluzzo.

Even Alberto, a battle-hardened mafia boss, was somewhat frightened by the appearance of the newcomer.

The wound has not yet healed, but the skin on his hand has been almost pulled off. Most people would have died in such a tragic situation, but he is still holding on.

Alberto could not help but remain silent. This was the insider he had arranged in the Giant Wolf's Mouth. His identity was kept extremely secret and originally only two people knew about it.

Even so, this man was discovered and tortured, but his self-esteem as a spy - as a member of the Saluzzo family - supported him to overcome the difficulties and obstacles.

"Sir." The dying man's lungs seemed to be punctured, and he uttered a hoarse voice, "Doctor, he is in cahoots with Lady Sicily."

"The doctor is so flamboyant because... because Lady Sicily doesn't want you to fight for power after her death."

"Why not use the doctor as bait and catch you all in one fell swoop."

Alberto remained silent. He had thought of this possibility, but he ruled it out because he felt that Lady Sicily was unlikely to cooperate with an outsider.

Syracuse places far more emphasis on blood ties than other regions, and families are also based on blood ties.

It seems that he still underestimated the bottom line of the Sicilian lady. The woman has always scoffed at traditions.

"What a disgusting piece of shit."

"At any rate, sir," said Alberto's spy, "the Lady of Sicily is dying, within the week, I am sure of it."

"Sir, this is the information I got... I'm sorry to be discovered..." The spy's voice became lower and lower until it disappeared.

Alberto looked at his assassin and said, almost without thinking, "I will take care of your family."

The spy smiled slightly, perhaps because he was relieved? He stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating.

he died.

Alberto's expression became more serious. He figured out why the doctor was so arrogant and domineering. He immediately turned the dial of the old-fashioned telephone and picked up the receiver. This telephone line was directly connected to the head of each family:

"Mrs. Sicily is dying."

"We should also attack the doctor." He was like a wild beast looking for food, biting with all his strength for fear that his prey would be eliminated and snatched away. "Destroy the doctor's living forces. As for what happens between us, let's wait until Lady Sicily's funeral."

……

……

Soon a rumor spread throughout Volsiny.

Lady Sicily has passed away, and even though someone has denied the rumor, the news still spreads as fast as a virus.

That same day, Texas posted its first message on the intercity network.

She mourned the death of Lady Sicily and praised the lady as a great person.

At the same time, Texas tactfully expressed that he was not willing to interfere too much in Volsini, and implicitly said that he had broken up with Zhuang Ning and was pursuing freedom and dreams more.

On the same day, Zhuang Ning was ambushed by elite members of the twelve families after he landed in a park in a flying vehicle.

There were rumors that Zhuang Ning had been seriously injured and died - this news spread quickly.

Soon after, men dressed in black blatantly passed through Volsini, and the city, which had previously not allowed the family to settle in, welcomed a large number of soldiers belonging to the Mafia.

Inside the shutters, people were watching this scene, but they didn't seem surprised at all. They just felt that the family came back too early after all...

Having lost the protection of Lady Sicily, Zhuang Ning, who had rebelled against the family, is now missing, and even Texas has chosen to remain silent.

After all, Syracuse could not be without a family.

……

……

Volsini, church.

In a sea of ​​flowers, an old woman had a peaceful face, as if she was not dead but just asleep.

Alberto Saluzzo stared at her repeatedly, and finally just sighed: "Mrs. Sicily is a great person."

He wasn't that interested in whether the body was real.

In any case, as long as everyone thought that Lady Sicily was dead, she would not be able to come back to life.

Want to open the coffin and get up? Then seal the coffin completely with cement!

Fortunately, the priest named Agnil was very sensible and was thought to be a very hot character, but he lost his fighting spirit after Lady Sicily died.

Alberto's heart was finally at ease. At this moment, he was finally sure that all obstacles no longer existed.

After this solemn funeral, Syracuse will return to his familiar state.

Guns and laws? No, blood and steel!

……

……

Wreaths surrounded the coffin of Lady Sicily, and men carried the casket.

Agnier watched, retreating silently into a dark room.

"Mr. Zhuang Ning, aren't you going to do anything?"

The person he called was Zhuang Ning, who was rumored to have died.

Zhuang Ning was holding a baby of Rupert in his hands, and was gently teasing the little guy's face with his fingers, looking relaxed and happy.

It was hard to imagine that this monster, who had killed countless people in recent days, would actually smile at Xun.

Hearing Agnier's words, Zhuang Ning raised his eyes slightly: "I have thought about taking action and wiping out those people here."

"But you gave up?"

"Because of my piety." Zhuang Ning said seriously.

Agnier laughed. As a Lateran, this priest had no respect for his own beliefs. "You just think this is boring, right? You prefer to see your enemy fall to the bottom when he is at his most proud."

"Yes, how can people be sad if they are deprived of something without having earned it? It is good only when they enjoy their freedom and think that the future belongs to them but they are all killed."

Zhuang Ning smiled, "But Father Agnir, you actually allowed me to spread rumors in the name of Lady Sicily."

"The lady herself agreed." Agnier said softly, "Besides, I am just an old man. I have done my best. In this case, don't interfere with the choice of young people."

Zhuang Ning nodded, then stood up and looked at the Rupert child who was still sleeping in his arms.

This is what he saw at the scene of the gunfight. His mother was shot dead on the spot, and she was the only one crying.

Zhuang Ning never believed in fate, but he still hugged her.

Now he handed the girl over to Agniel, and before leaving he said seriously: "I want to be the godfather of this little one."

……

……

City Hall, white light shines on shadows that cannot be erased.

Leontuso Bellone looked at the man with fiery red hair in front of him quietly. He was not surprised and just whispered, "You are here after all, Dmitri."

He was the mayor, but he knew the man.

Dmitri, who was once his playmate, now occupies one of the seats of the Twelve Families and holds a high position of power.

Dmitri was silent for a moment, then poured himself a glass of whiskey, the ice cubes clattering in the glass.

He handed it to Leontuso, but Leontuso refused to accept it, saying in a serious tone: “It’s still working hours.”

"It's not working hours, Leon. I'm supposed to be your dog, but now you have to watch me carefully - you may still be the mayor, but you have nothing."

Dmitri's men sighed, "I don't want to kill you, Leon, just announce your resignation tomorrow."

"Dmitri, who are you listening to now?"

"I only follow my own words. Syracuse cannot live without the family, and you would have been a very good head of the family."

Leontuso smiled slightly and put down his official duties for the first time. He was the mayor of Volsini and the young master of Bellone. Demetrius should have been his most loyal subordinate.

"I didn't expect that you would be the one to kill me."

The smile on Demetri's face gradually disappeared: "But this is the rule, dear Leon."

——The body of Leontuso Bellone was found in a gutter. The mayor had no expression on his face when he died.

Texas saw the news in the newspaper.

The dark clouds over Volsiny were deeper than ever before, hovering overhead and looking as if a rainstorm would fall at any moment.
