Chapter 921 Goodbye Nucky

New York, Empire State Building.

After a long and high-pitched scream, there was only heavy breathing in the ornately decorated room.

Getting off the bed and putting on a bath towel, Li Zitao poured a glass of juice for Juliana and prepared a glass of whiskey on ice for himself.

"Are you really going to remodel Hell's Kitchen?" After calming down, Juliana took a sip of the juice.

"Well, the land prices in Manhattan won't fall, so why not do it?" Li Zitao asked jokingly.

"It's very troublesome there. Do you know where the contraband shipped to New York from other places ended up?"

Juliana handed him the empty cup, wrapped her graceful figure in a quilt, and said to him with her arms around her knees: "That's right there, Hell's Kitchen, it's a transit point for everything, opium, smuggling, weapons, people... ..”

Li Zitao was a little surprised to hear him say that. She didn't expect her to know something about Hell's Kitchen.

"Don't worry, I will find a few old friends to deal with it. As long as I give them enough benefits, there is nothing that cannot be sold." Li Zitao put his arms around her shoulders and smiled.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Zitao changed into light clothes and left the apartment after washing in the bathroom. He was going to meet his old friends.

Nucky Thompson, King of Atlantic City, Chairman of the Mafia Council, and the most powerful figure in the American gang during Prohibition.

It's just that now he looks more like a rigid, narrow-minded, and difficult to get along with the old man next door.

His sunken cheeks were as if he was suffering from anorexia, and the light in his eyes was even brighter. It seemed that he had been doing well in the past few years.

"Charlie, how long have we not seen each other?" Li Zitao and Nucky sat face to face in the coffee shop by the side of the road, each feeling as if they were separated from each other.

When they met for the first time, Li Zitao was just a little guy who wanted to get rid of the scar-faced Capone and take the opportunity to take the opportunity.

At that time, at least from Nucky's point of view, it was true. Unexpectedly, he became a billionaire in the blink of an eye, and then went all the way to where he is today.

The representative of the American Dream, a legendary figure, and the new super rich, no one can guess how much he is worth now, but he is definitely one of the richest people in the United States.

Although Nucky also took the position of chairman of the mafia committee and became the godfather of the national mafia, it was far behind his achievements.

A gangster is a gangster, and no matter what, they can't be seen in the light. I don't know how many detectives and policemen have investigated him over the years.

Fortunately, he still has the identity of a financial officer as a cover, and he is careful enough to appear here safe and sound.

"5 years...or more?" The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the solution to 'Daddy' was the last time they saw each other. After that, they seldom contacted each other by phone.

Li Zitao deliberately kept a distance from the gangsters. This was the choice he made after he understood the importance of 'rules', and it was also one of the reasons why he made Paul transform.

"Hehe, it's been a long time, so why did you come to me this time?" Nucky asked with a smirk.

"I want Hell's Kitchen, please make an offer!" Li Zitao said bluntly.

"That's not a good place, what do you want to use it for?" Nucky rolled his eyes and looked at him curiously.

There are thieves, robbers, murderers, and gangsters hiding in Hell's Kitchen. It can be said to be a gathering place for all kinds of scum. What does he want that kind of place for?

"This is not your concern, Nucky, I want all the land in Hell's Kitchen, drive those scumbags to Queens, tell me your offer!"

What is the best way to deal with gangs, not the police, and there is no need for S.H.I.E.L.D. to go to war, just let the mafia, who are also gangs, handle it.

Bad people need bad people to grind, and some people in Hell's Kitchen are dangerous, but compared with the power of the Mafia, they are just jackals alone.

"Oh?" Nucky was a little annoyed. Li Zitao's attitude didn't look like he was asking for his help, but was ordering and overlooking from a superior.

This made Nucky, who was used to being the boss, very uncomfortable, but he also knew the gap between the two.

Not to mention connections and funds, just taking the Mafia and S.H.I.E.L.D. as an example is like a bear child and a well-trained adult elite.

"500,000, per block." After Nucky calmed down, he picked up the coffee and put it on his mouth with a smile, waiting for his reply.

Each block is $500,000, and 25 blocks is $12.5 million. The business of the empty-handed white wolf is really profitable.

The low price in Nucky's heart is 8 million US dollars. If it is lower than this price, even if he is the godfather of the American Mafia, he can't explain it to other committee members.

The Mafia family in New York City doesn't obey his orders very much. Now this matter will hurt the interests of the other party. How could they agree without sufficient compensation.

"No problem." Contrary to Nucky's expectations, Li Zitao readily agreed.

"However, your people have to deal with all the problems. If there is any trouble in the future, I will come to you again." Li Zitao said and put down 20 dollars on the table.

"Nucky, for the sake of the past... retire as soon as possible and leave here to live in Switzerland or the Mediterranean. The scenery there is beautiful and suitable for you and your little lover."

After speaking, regardless of Nuki's changing expression, Li Zitao left the coffee shop just like that, hoping that Nuki would follow his advice, and being a godfather would not end well in the end.

Li Zitao left the coffee shop by car, but Nucky sat in his seat with an unsteady expression, thinking about the warning he gave when he left.

With the increase of age and wealth, Nucky also gradually felt powerless, and not all the people under his command listened to him, but because of the power in his hands and the prestige of these years, no one dared to challenge him face to face. majesty.

But that day will come sooner or later, and Nucky himself is equally aware that what worries him is: 'Did Li Zitao receive any unfavorable news for him? '

In the car going away, Li Zitao asked Tia to call Paul and leave Hell's Kitchen to him to handle the follow-up questions.

"Don't come forward in person. If there is any problem, let the mafia members solve it. Try to keep a low profile and don't involve civilians."

When Paul on the other end of the phone heard the boss's order, he nodded with a flattering smile and said, "Understood, boss, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Even if Li Zitao couldn't see him, Paul still maintained the respect he should have, even knelt and licked.

Li Zitao's status is getting higher and higher, and his influence in North America is increasing day by day, and the opportunities to use him are getting less and less.

This made Paul very worried about whether he would be completely abandoned one day.

Being used to being a casino tycoon, he doesn't want to compete with gangsters for territory anymore and live a life of fear.

Besides, he knew very well that he knew too many things. Once Li Zitao gave up, he would never leave Vegas alive.

So Paul cherished the opportunity to speak with Li Zitao very much, and he was so excited that he was on the verge of tears when he heard his orders.

Being able to get Li Zitao's order shows that he is still useful, and the boss still remembers him.

He no longer has to worry about being disposed of suddenly one day and becoming a corpse in the desert outside Vegas.

In addition, Paul is even more submissive in front of Bloody Mary (Xu Man), but strives for perfection in everything she orders.

I believe that with her care and his own abilities, he will be able to spend his old age safely in the future and enjoy the wealth he has accumulated over the years.
