103: Organize and see (10)

“Call me Dario.”

“It’s Linda.”

“I’m really sorry about your father’s work.”

An old man with white hair in a long coat greeted him with a fedora hat on his chest. The owner of her house was Linda, so Cheol-woo entrusted her to take care of her.

After greeting him, Cheol-woo glanced at Eddie as he looked at him standing in the living room. Eddie, who was once again crumpled, accepted Dario’s fedora and coat.

“Thank you.”

“How about a car…?”

“It’s okay.”

Short, concise words passed between Linda and Mario. It was such a reticent conversation that it choked the listeners.

Tee, who had been a butler under Zambito for a long time, was evident. His reticent and concise actions had become as solid as his profession and personality.

“Linda is the owner of this place, but I am temporarily managing it. It’s called Bay.”

“Dario Ancherno. Embarrassingly, he’s his uncle. Just call me Dario.”

As he answered, he glanced at Pietro. He fell to the floor and still had foam in his mouth.

I was instantly angry at the appearance of my ugly nephew, but he seemed to be worried about it as he was lying down like that. Noticing this, Cheol-woo glanced at the two mercenaries. The two guys looked dissatisfied and lifted Pietro. At that moment, Dario, who was relieved, looked at Cheol-woo and smiled in thanks.

Long, flowing eyebrows on a hooked nose. to the lower eyelids. The face of a typical Italian old man was full of deep fan wrinkles. That figure represented that the life he had lived was never easy.

“This is Mackay. As you may already know…”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person. This is Mackay.”

“Unlike your voice, you look very young. Nice to meet you.”

McKay smiled and said hello. The fact that they met each other meant that they recruited the enemy’s entourage only over the phone without a face-to-face meeting.

This means that his attempts were bold and effective. He was not called the ruler of underground finance for nothing. Of course, he was in the distant future, but . . .

“Now then, let’s get to the point. If you’ve come this far, I don’t think it’s a personal thing. Which side are you going to speak from…?”

“haha! Looks like you’ve already looked inside me. As you said, your nephew’s job is the second job, and the first job is to deliver Mr. Zambito’s message.”

He smiled softly and admitted it easily. It meant that I wasn’t old enough to be embarrassed that I had caught up with this.

Mr. Zambito. The current head of the Zambito family. His real name was Marcella Zambito, but everyone called him Master or Mr. Zambito.

Literally, he was the head and face of the Zambito family, representing the New York mafia. Except for him, no one was called the Zambitoran surname.

“The Master wants this to be settled quietly.”

“What exactly is this?”

“Everyone! All of the Grace family’s fortunes came from the Zambito family. It was the Master who raised the beggar boy who wandered the back alleys of New York.”

“Wow, what a harsh word…. This is an insult to my deceased father!”

Linda, who had been quietly listening to Dario, jumped up and got angry. The shadow of her father still lingered on her.

Although she abandoned her at the end of her life, she could not easily abandon her father. She was outraged when she told her that her heartless father, who had previously been considered a good businessman, was nothing more than a mafia minion.

“haha! Calm down, lady. Is there any reason for me to lie at this age? Nile has already taken one step on the coffin. Even if you can’t believe it, everything I said is true.”

Unlike her, who was passionate, Dario had a pitiful appearance. The death of people he knew one by one made him very depressed.

“I was with him when he was taken away by the Master. I was pretty young back then. Who would have known that the nosebleeds that flowed with firewood would grow so big that they would create such a fortune? I just wanted to live well without being hungry… haha!”

Cheol-woo, who calmed Linda, who was shaking her shoulders, looked at him. Now was not the time to listen to such old stories.

His words were completely different from what Cheol-woo investigated. Even Mackay, who was listening to the story, was showing a bit of perplexity.

However, as he said, even if Thomas’ fortune belonged to Zambito, he had no intention of returning it now. He couldn’t have known that either.

“So what do you want to say?”

“The Master will never give up this property. In any case…”

“Even if his family is prosperous…?”

“The Zambito family is already on the decline. A few years ago, after all the heads of ‘La Cosanostra’ were captured, gradually…”

“I don’t think that’s what Zambito said.”

Cheol-woo smiled and separated his words. It meant that he would clearly distinguish where Zambito was talking and where the conversation started with Dario.

“…that’s great. did you say bay? It seems that you have already grasped the boundaries between the forces. There’s nothing more important in war than the division between friend and foe. Especially in the fight between the mafia… cancer! By the way, it’s great!”

Dario’s old face suddenly came alive. It was as if he had pulled out his real face hidden behind a hard mask.

“So what do you really mean…?”

“The Master is trying to somehow rebuild the declining family and organization. He tried to replenish the blood that had already flowed from Thomas. Of course, Thomas refused…”

This was the real story of Dario. It was the moment when the truth inside that could not be heard no matter how much you searched for information was revealed.

The Mafia, who had settled in New York from 1900, raised a family in New York and expanded its power to Sicily in Palermo, Italy.

It was to create a safety plate outside of New York. Even if the FBI and New York police caught them, all the key leaders fled to Sicily.

In the end, a joint operation between the Italian police and the FBI began after a long period of time. On the same day, both sides launched an arrest operation in both countries at the same time.

The vigilant mafia bosses were arrested all at once. That was just a few years ago.

The arrest of the leaders who held all the power of the organization naturally led to the weakening of the power of the mafia. Gangs from South America and Asia have been taking over the market at a fast pace.

After being released after paying a huge amount of lobbying money and bail, Zambito prescribed an extreme remedy to rectify the ruined family. He was determined to reclaim all of Thomas’s property, which was in charge of the family’s slush fund.

Thomas obviously had Zambito’s help when he first started his business. And he has been managing the organization’s slush funds for a long time.

But he returned all the money he had received from Zambito several years ago, plus all his profits. In fact, they declared a complete breakup.

As his business grew and his reputation grew, his relationship with Zambito became a shackle. That is why he boldly broke the shackles, even at the cost of a great loss.

But Zambito didn’t think so. Because the Mafia’s calculation method was not so simple.

Their own calculation method was that money, once mixed, could be theirs at any time. So, the logic was that when the organization was in trouble, it could cut through the piggy bank where money was put in in the past.

So hungry Zambito exposed his teeth, and Thomas began to stop him with all his might.

“Then Chinese forces appeared. In fact, I was the one who introduced them.”

“Why did you do that?”

“I wanted the Zambito family to be destroyed. So that our family can come out of it.”

“You mean that Thomas and the Chinese were used as tools.”

“Yes. I never thought it would turn out like this…”

Heard the back story, but it was mana. When Cheol-woo investigated through the Warrior and the words Pietro confessed to Dario’s story, the composition was clearly revealed.

Zambito is aiming for Thomas’ fortune. And in front of Thomas who was trying to stop this, a force appeared to entrust China’s slush funds.

Thomas, in charge of their money, must have tried to contain the Zambito and the mafia forces as an excuse for financial difficulties. Perhaps his will came true.

“Which force is the Chinese side supporting?”

“It’s Fuk Ching. A Chinese gang based in Queens.”

hooking. It was a Chinese gang called Bokcheong in their language. It was made up of overseas Koreans who had pushed out the commercial circles of Koreans in Korea, and had 300 members from about 10 factions based in Queens Blushing.

“Of course, there must be a triad behind them.”

“I can’t even confirm that.”

With those words, the confirmation is complete. Perhaps it is correct to say that he did not bring in the Chinese forces, but approached them from there first. He just changed the link from Zambito to Thomas.

“And the hostile forces tormenting Zambito…?”

“haha! They are trying to eat this old man very raw.”

“Isn’t that what you want?”

“Then will you protect my ugly nephew?”

“If you pay the price . . .”

Now, this place was not just a place for information exchange. Pietro was clearly the hostage of Cheol-woo and Linda, and Dario was in a position to negotiate to save the hostage.

If he had left, he could have turned Pietro’s head off right here. As if their original plan was to kidnap Linda and take her hostage.

Besides, if Cheol-woo wanted, he could use Pietro to destroy the Ancherno family. The reason Dario grinded Pietro’s chin was out of anger at that ignorant headmaster for making things this way.

In this situation, Cheol-woo secretly showed him room for negotiation. It was a very sweet offer to grant you what you want and even protect your landlord until the end of the job.

Dario has lived her whole life in conspiracies and dark battles. He couldn’t have known this.

In his old age, his wish was the complete independence of the Ancherno family. To do that, we have to erase the eternal obstacle, the Zambito family.

So that there will never be another person like you again. He prayed that the tragic figure who had to work like a dog for the rest of his life as a hostage and vowed revenge would never come out of the family again.

“It’s MS-13. A gang established by South American immigrants has been tightening the chains of Zambito.”

“It’s not a collar, it’s a money rope, right?”

“Isn’t that what it is? haha!”

MS-13 was a large-scale gang that crossed Central America and the United States. It was composed of people from Central America, mainly from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

Called for power through drug smuggling, they were gradually diversifying their business. Like the early mafia, after having fun with the illegal immigration business, they devoured anything that made money, including arms trafficking, money laundering, gambling, and prostitution.

In the end, the mafia and business domains, which were disguised as if they had completely lost their hands in dirty work, overlapped. But the hungry mafia couldn’t handle their ferocity.

“Of course, Hook Ching and MS-13 are at odds with each other, right?”

“Yes. When we meet, we kill each other and see each other.”

“Then who is Zambito supporting?”

“…how do you do that…?”

Dario’s droopy eyelids went up. That’s how surprised he was.

Zambito was supporting a faction very secretly. Dario didn’t even think about bringing it up. But the man in front of him was looking through his thoughts.

“It’s simple. Because it would have been me.”

Cheol-woo, who uncovered the secret, smiled as if it was nothing special.
