Chapter 1578 Crowning You
boom……
Vegas at night is more like daytime, every casino is packed.
The flow of people and cars on the street is constantly shuttling, but no one pays attention to the place other than this entertainment place, even if it is right in front of you.
The pit was ready. A hundred-year-old Populus euphratica was put into the pit with the concerted efforts of more than 20 people.
"You can leave now." After paying the final payment to the driver, the other party happily left.
He thought he needed help filling the soil, and it would be great if he could easily take the money and leave.
When the car was far away, a Cadillac with all its paint leather peeled off was parked on the side of the road, and every part of it was creaking.
Fortunately, it can be buried in the ground today, just need to unload the last cargo before being scrapped.
"This damn trunk." After kicking hard at the lock of the trunk a few times, the door popped open.
A strong smell of blood came to the face, everyone performed their duties, and no one looked around with a curious look.
"Throw them in." Kolya took a few steps back to prevent the high-end shirt he just changed from being stained with blood again.
He had already burned a favorite shirt by this point, and it would bother him if this one was destroyed as well.
Tick tock, tick tock!
Two bags of processed natural fertilizers are thrown into the pit, and the next thing to do is to fill the soil and wait for it to thrive.
After the Populus euphratica was buried, the coffin, which was mainly made of sandalwood and inlaid with pure gold, was carried over.
Finally, the last moment came.
A uniform black and robust crowd gathered in front of the rectangular earth pit in front of the Populus euphratica tree, and everyone's expression was full of seriousness.
Li Zitao held Ariel's hand and stood at the front of the line, and there were some people beside them.
Doris, Justina and her son, Dave Ricka.
There is also Aiden who came here as soon as he received the news, and only then quietly appeared.
Ariel was so curious about her half-brother that the distraction eased her mother's grief at the burial.
There were many attendees at the funeral, but it was solemn but not grand.
Xu Man didn't want her funeral to disturb too many people, she just wanted a piece of pure land where she could be peaceful.
In order to fulfill her wish, Li Zitao made a decision after discussing with Ariel.
There will be no sign on Xu Man's tombstone, and there will be only one sentence written on it: Vegas, I am with you
—June 22, 1951.
Other than that, there is no writing on it, and the dark marble obelisk is solemn and mysterious.
Holding a bright red rose, Li Zitao squatted in front of the tombstone with a smile, put the flower on it and said softly: "After so long, I just thought of sending you flowers."
"I don't know if you will hate me down here!" Putting his hand on the stele, Li Zitao froze in place like a statue.
After a day of light rain, the crowd gathered in front of the tombstone dispersed spontaneously, disappearing without a trace just like when they came.
Standing behind her father, Ariel mechanically nodded her thanks as she heard 'sorrows' in her ears.
Aiden stood beside her, silently looking at his father's back, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
"Ariel." Justina was the last to go, "Sorry, if you need anything, you know where I am."
"Thank you." Ariel was no longer sure whether she still had a smile on her face, and she just instinctively maintained the basic etiquette.
Everyone was gone, except for the statue in front of the tombstone and the two children.
Even Danny and Ava, who never left his side, spontaneously walked across the road and waited quietly.
The sky lightened, and the morning sun shone on the stele.
Feeling the warmth from the sun, the 'statue' came back to life.
The slack pupils refocused, and Li Zitao stood up with some difficulty. His legs were numb after squatting all night.
Looking up at the sun as it passed the horizon, a smile appeared on his face for the first time.
"Ava,
Ava! "
Hearing the boss' call, Ava across the road hurried over, and the high heels on her feet were thrown flying by her.
In this special period, even she can't figure out what the boss is thinking, so it's best to devote 200% of her energy.
"In two hours, I want all the members to appear in the meeting room." Li Zitao pressed his wrinkled collar and said in a relaxed tone.
It was as if after a night of contemplation and reminiscence all the burdens and sorrows had been cleared away and he was ready to start a new life
Two hours later, Li Zitao walked into the meeting room with a new look and energy.
"Everyone, long time no see." Li Zitao, who was in high spirits, did not look like a person who had just experienced great grief no matter how he looked.
Ariel, who wore a black dress with white flowers on her chest, followed closely, seeing her outfit and the white flowers on her chest.
Only then did they realize that the white flowers on Li Zitao's chest were not a unique outfit.
earthquake.
Li Zitao, who walked straight to the chairman's seat, opened the seat and looked at the crowd with a smile, but did not sit down.
Instead, Ariel, who was following behind him, sat in that seat without hesitation after saying 'thank you'.
The gentleman adjusted the chair for her, and Li Zitao pulled away the vacant seat that used to belong to the Magano family, and sat down on it.
creak!
There was a light sound from the leather chair, but it landed on everyone's hearts like thunder.
They were still curious before, why Magano hadn't arrived yet because he wanted to give the little girl Ariel a blow?
Now, everything is clear.
First of all, Li Zitao's appearance surprised them. Their outfits undoubtedly indicated that someone important to them had passed away.
Now, Li Zitao personally put Ariel on the 'throne,' sitting on the seat belonging to the Magano family.
And the original owner of this chair has not appeared until now.
Are these not enough to explain the problem?
In just two or three days, the forces in Vegas underwent a major reshuffle.
For those in it, it is no less than a shocking subversion.
Someone had predicted this result, but they never thought that everything would be so simple, without the slightest splash.
"Everyone, I want to announce a bad news to everyone." After everyone was quiet, Li Zitao said solemnly: "Ms. Xu Man passed away due to illness two afternoons ago. pray."
He lowered his head, clasped his hands together and put them in front of his brows.
Two minutes later, Li Zitao opened his eyes again and said with relief, "Thank you everyone."
"Next, I will propose a new resolution." Li Zitao pointed to Ariel, who was at the top, and said; "Recommend Ariel to take over as the chairman of the association."
"Now, whoever agrees, whoever opposes." The gentle eyes suddenly retracted, and the sharp gaze like an eagle swept over everyone's face.
No one dared to make eye contact with him, even the representatives of Doris and Avril Lavigne, who used to be aloof at the meeting, looked away in embarrassment.
Those terrifying eyes are as vast as the sea, but there are huge waves brewing under the calm surface, any obstacles will only be smashed to pieces, leaving no bones left.
