"Haha, Charles." When he saw a well-dressed old man walking straight towards him with a 'trench' vibe all over his body, Li Zitao enthusiastically took the initiative to greet him.

"Charlie." The old man gave him a hug equally enthusiastically.

It was this kid from the East who, when he encountered difficulties in his life and needed to sell his stocks, did not add insult to injury, but instead bought them at a premium of 5%.

"We have to have a good chat later." Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him again, Charles walked towards the banquet hall.

"Claudia, welcome." They clasped their palms together, smiled, patted each other's back, and walked inward.

"Jevich, you're late, haha..."

"Sakir, you look so cool tonight..."

After sending Sakir into the banquet hall, Li Zitao saw a group of four people walking together, talking and laughing with each other, and they looked very familiar.

The person at the front is sitting in a wheelchair. His expression is resolute and optimistic, and his smile is full of intimacy. Just by looking at him, he has an infectious appeal that makes him want to get close to him.

"Governor Roosevelt, welcome, I am Charlie Lee." Li Zitao was not as excited as he had imagined when he actually saw Roosevelt in person. This may represent his growth!

"It's an honor to be invited, Lee." Roosevelt smiled sincerely and squeezed his hand. The force was stronger than expected, as if it contained some kind of hint.

"Li, I'm glad to be invited. I'm David." The middle-aged man standing on the far right came forward, smiled and shook hands and introduced: "This is Joseph, and this is McCaar."

"Mr. Kendi, welcome." Standing in the middle was Kendi, who looked to be in his prime, slightly fat, smiling and squinting his eyes, which were hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Mr. Macca, welcome." Macca looked a little younger, in his thirties, with a flamboyant expression and a high-spirited arrogance. To put it bluntly, he was a seductress.

"Everyone, please come inside, I have another guest to wait for." Li Zitao said politely.

"Oh? Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?" Joseph asked calmly, with an unknown look shining in his narrowed eyes.

"Yes." He raised his head and looked into the distance, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "We're here now."

"Nick, haha..." Li Zitao walked past the four people and came to Nick in a slow and steady pace. With his hands clasped, their shoulders touched each other and they laughed heartily.

"Charlie, I'm going to have a good drink tonight, I'm almost exhausted in the past few months." Nick said jokingly.

"Of course, I promise you can drink as much as you want tonight." The two walked in side by side, passing directly by Joseph and his party, as if they had completely forgotten their existence.

"Is that Nick Brandy?" Macca asked, frowning.

"Haha, we should go in." Joseph smiled casually and pushed the wheelchair towards the banquet hall.

"Joseph, I said he was not here to seek peace, and now it seems I was right." Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and glanced at the bodyguards around the banquet hall.

"No one can be sure where the victory will be until the last moment, right?" Joseph still smiled like that.

"Everyone, friends." The hall door closed, and Li Zitao walked onto the stage with wine in hand, interrupting the whispers below.

The banquet, including Li Zitao himself, only had 10 people in total.

Fortunately, there are 20 waiters he specially prepared, all of them are young and beautiful, wearing standard maid uniforms. Nick is also very satisfied with these service staff.

"First of all, I want to thank you all for coming. I believe you all know that just a few days ago, I went through an ordeal and a bullet shot through my chest."

Li Zitao put his hand on his right chest, glanced downwards, and finally fixed on Joseph, his eyes gleaming with cold light, as if he was about to burst into a devouring beast.

Joseph's smile gradually became stiff, and he felt a little panicked, but he still managed to stay calm.

He didn't do this, so there's nothing to worry about.

But Joseph just remembered at this moment that this Chinese man who controlled more than 2,000 people, if this matter was put on his head...

"Of course, I was lucky enough to escape. I think the goddess of luck must have taken care of me, haha..." Just when Joseph couldn't hold himself any longer, Li Zitao changed the subject and raised his glass with a bright smile: "Here's to you

Lady Luck.”

"Haha, Charlie, the goddess will definitely remember you." Jevich teased.

"Yes, maybe one day the goddess will fall in love with you, haha..." Nick even joked about him, making the atmosphere heated up again.

"If that day comes, Nick, I will definitely invite you to the wedding." He handed the empty wine glass to the waiter and replaced it with a new glass of wine.

Li Zitao raised his glass again: "Secondly, our beloved, beloved, kind, wealthy and generous Mr. Nick Brandy was successfully elected as the next vice president. Let us raise a toast to Nick."

"Here's to Nick!" Everyone raised their glasses to Nick, their eyes full of sincerity.

"Thank you, thank you all, and I would also like to thank my good friend Charlie for letting us gather here." Nick proudly raised his glass to signal to everyone.

"Okay, the reception has officially begun. Please feel free to do so." Li Zitao walked off the stage and walked straight towards Nick.

"Nick, maybe you should try the massage here, these girls are very good at it!" Li Zitao said, pointing to the hot maids around him.

"Of course, I'm really tired." Nick said emotionally.

"You should go to the people and experience their enthusiasm for yourself." Li Zitao smiled and pushed him aside.

Nick smiled evilly and turned around and pointed at him. After a while, he led the two hot girls upstairs to the hotel, where Li Zitao had already arranged a room.

"Mr. Joseph, please come this way." After arranging Nick, Li Zitao started to get down to business.

"I think I should go relax." McCain spread his hands jokingly and walked towards the hot maid next to him.

"David, come together!" Joseph invited.

"I'm honored." David said humbly.

Pushing Roosevelt to the sofa area next to him, everyone had just sat down, and the table in the middle was filled with cold cuts, drinks, cigars, etc.

"The doctor told me to drink less, I'm sorry." Li Zitao put the wine glass on the table, leaned back and sunk into the sofa, crossed his legs, and didn't mean to be polite at all.

"We saw it in the newspaper. Is your injury okay?" Joseph's narrowed eyes opened slightly and he said seriously.

"Maybe!" Li Zitao smiled playfully and looked at him with cold eyes: "My people are still searching for the whereabouts of the gunman. I believe he will eventually be found."

"Killers like this should be hanged. Their existence is a danger to society!" David said excitedly, looking even angrier than Li Zitao.

"No, no, compared to death, living is more interesting. I will let him experience all the pain and torture in this world. My motherland has thousands of years of cultural heritage.

He is very good at these methods, such as beheading, inserting needles, sawing, cutting in half, splitting the car, languishing, etc. "

Seeing that the expressions of the three people opposite him became a little uncomfortable, Li Zitao suddenly said: "Oh, of course, there is also the man behind the scenes. I think roasting and poaching are good."

Li Zitao was trying to scare them. He was not a tyrant or a pervert, and he could only kill people with a nod of his head. If these tortures were enough to satisfy his taste, even he would panic if they were really used.

Joseph wanted to say something, but when he thought that Xu would be caught by Li Zitao and pin this matter on his head, he could only keep his mouth shut, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"Lee, even if they broke the law and are guilty, torturing and killing them is not a good idea." Roosevelt raised his head and looked at him firmly and sincerely.

The atmosphere fell into silence, as if there was a strange air current surging between the two parties. It was obvious that there were three people on one side and only him on the other side, but they seemed to be colliding evenly.

Even Li Zitao's aura was still faintly suppressing them. His slightly crazy and destructive aura was like a provocative tiger, which made people instinctively fear.

"Haha, I was just joking, who would do such a cruel thing." Li Zitao laughed suddenly, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Only savages would do that, aren't you right? Lee." Roosevelt said pointedly.

"...Of course." Looking into his eyes, Li Zitao nodded solemnly.

"It's just that there shouldn't be so-called kindness towards enemies. Someone tried to steal a priceless pocket watch from his master while he was napping. Such a thief deserves to die."

Li Zitao spoke in a confused tone, neither asking for an apology nor bowing his head to show weakness. This made Joseph and David look at each other and look at each other, both confused.

"Mr. Roosevelt, I admire you very much. Maybe one day we will become friends." Handing the business card to Roosevelt, Li Zitao walked away without looking back.

While they were playing riddles, the guests in the banquet hall had already gone upstairs to enjoy the ultimate service from the maids and waiters.

Watching Li Zitao lead his men out of the banquet hall, Joseph, who was sitting on the sofa, lowered his head and said nothing, thinking about the purpose of holding this banquet.

"Joseph, maybe when we get home we can figure out what tricks this young friend is playing!" Roosevelt interrupted his thinking.

"Huh?" Joseph looked stunned for a moment, then understood.

Here they can't get any information, they only have one pair of eyes and one pair of ears, but when they return home, they will have countless pairs of eyes and ears.

"Let's go." Joseph made a quick decision and decided to return to his manor in New York immediately.

As soon as the car arrived at the gate of the manor, Joseph's housekeeper trotted up to meet him, and then he didn't know what he said in his ear, but his face became increasingly ugly.

"What happened?" Macca asked impatiently.

"Our Chinese friends easily wiped out all the remaining forces in Luciano during the banquet!" Joseph clenched his fists and said with a livid face.

Most of those people had been bribed by him, and they paid a lot of money. Thinking of this, Joseph couldn't help but feel heartache.

"How could it be so fast? Didn't the police take action?" David's eyes widened in surprise.

"Police, haha..." Shaking his head in despair, Joseph walked straight towards the manor, even Roosevelt, who had been pushing him, was forgotten behind him.

"I think it's time to go back. Can you send me a ride?" After Joseph left, Roosevelt looked at the housekeeper with a smile and asked.

"Of course." The butler hurriedly arranged for a driver.

Sitting in the car, Roosevelt looked back at the manor that was closing its gates. The sound of David and Macca's argument could be vaguely heard, which made him feel ridiculous.
