Chapter 136 Encountering Malena

"Very reasonable, I like fair deals, how much do you want." He became interested.

"100,000 lire!" Ivan said with a serious look on his face, looking quite expectant.

Chen Jun laughed dumbly, not because his appetite was too big, but because he was too small.

According to his understanding, the current maximum face value of Italian currency is 10,000 lire. Currently, Italy surrendered and was defeated in World War II, and the currency has depreciated. The number he mentioned is only about 200 US dollars in international exchange.

Of course, his appetite is small according to his worth, but the money is not small in Sicily. He is a greedy kid.

"Okay!" He took out his wallet and took out three US dollar bills and gave them to him, "Can US dollars be okay?"

"Okay, okay!!" His eyes sparkled and he nodded repeatedly.

Taking the brand new dollar and putting it to his nose and smelling it, Ivan looked intoxicated.

"Bring it here!" Someone suddenly jumped out of the middle tent and grabbed the money. "It's not fun to hold such a big sum of money for such a small thing."

The man was the middle-aged man who performed magic just now. He put three dollars in his pocket and said, "I'll make delicious food for you in the future. Don't make trouble."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Jun with a smile from all over his body, bowed and said: "I am Saijin Van Luoer, you can call me little old man Saijin, this is my little son Ivan, you have given me so much

Too much, it would be a disaster for him, thank you for your generosity, is there anything we can do for you?"

"Who were those people just now?" Chen Jun asked bluntly.

"They are Don Croce Carlo's mafiosi. What they should have taken is your portrait and they are looking for you."

"Aren't you going to reveal it to him? I knew you glanced at me when you were performing just now and you should have recognized me."

"Those who mess with them will become a disaster. Sicilians know that this will not end well, not to mention that very few people like them. This is one of my few life experiences. We will keep silent and not report."

Little old man Jin said slowly.

"This is the birthplace of the Mafia, how could they do this?"

The little old man Saijin slowly told him, and Chen Jun was quite emotional after listening to it.

In the early days, the Mafia originally played a Robin Hood role, helping people in distress and delivering justice to the victims through violent means. But now it has gradually evolved into an illegal arm of the wealthy, collecting taxes on some commercial activities within its sphere of influence.

"Why don't they charge those viewers money?"

The little old man Sekin shrugged, "Who in Sicily doesn't have two coyote guns? If you really push someone into a hurry, they won't get a good harvest."

"Many of the mafiosi have a hard-earned background as Orion gangsters. They know the character of Sicilian people very well, so they only dare to collect money from us, mobile entertainment organizations from other places."

Chen Jun nodded in his mind. This is true. Sicilians adhere to the law of silence and remain calm on the surface. In fact, they use an eye for an eye and blood for blood. Their folk customs are tough, and the godfather is an example.

"We can't stay here anymore. We plan to leave here. I heard that in Syracuse, the eastern part of Sicily, under the governance of new officials, there are very few mafia. The people are wealthy and peaceful. It is rich in olives and wine. It is a good place to make money.

place."

"Syracuse?"

Chen Jun's heart moved slightly. He seemed to remember that in the movie The Beautiful Legend of Sicily, Malena was in Syracuse.

"Sir, do you want to go too?"

The little old man Saijin had a sharp eye and noticed his movements. He looked at him and said, "Sir, you look like a foreigner at first glance. We can lead the way for you. At the same time, using our circus, we can also do things for you."

Cover and reduce trouble, we have professional makeup artists who can make you invisible even in front of the mafia."

"Of course...you only need to pay some money for it." Sai Jin licked his chapped lips like a top Venetian merchant.

The next day, Chen Jun slept in a tent and followed Seguin's circus to Syracuse as a circus leader.

This is said to be a circus, but it is actually a family-run acrobatic performance troupe that often travels around to perform.

Seguin is the eldest member of the circus, a native of Sicily. He has two sons. The eldest son, Rade Van Roel, serves as the groom and various performing roles in the troupe. The younger son, Ivan Van Roel,

You are good at performing knife throwing, balancing skills, etc.

There is also nephew Ike, who also works as a groom and does heavy work. The last person, Dalia, according to Ivan who slept with him last night, is a gypsy girl who was picked up by his eldest son Ladd in an experience.

Back home, with her good looks, she is very popular for doing tarot card readings, and of course she also works part-time as a makeup artist.

She was responsible for Chen Jun's current look.

Wearing a black vest, brown formal suit, slender trousers, a deliberately trimmed beard, and a cream-beige Western-style Panama hat, with deep and bright eyes, he looks like a mature and experienced man.

If you give him a cane and a rationality that smells of youthful bookishness, some people will believe that he is a British aristocrat.

This is what Dalia said when dressing him up.

Chen Jun is very satisfied with his current appearance. He has good taste and has a stronger recognition than before. Moreover, he once encountered a mafia man chasing him with his portrait, but he didn't realize that he was the person in the painting. For this reason, he

Dalia was specially given a hundred dollars as a reward.

During these ten days, he gradually became familiar with Saijin Circus and had a general understanding of these people.

Among these people, the little old Saijin people are more greedy and philistine, but they have rich survival experience and know the scale and what should and should not be done.

The eldest son Rad, on the other hand, is loyal and honest. He often takes the initiative to ask his younger brother Ivan to do work and likes Dalia.

Ivan was the young man who asked him for money at the beginning. He had a wild and naughty personality and liked to show off his knife-throwing skills. Dalia and Ike were relatively quiet and reserved in life, but they were very energetic on stage.

During these days, sitting in a carriage and traveling with them through many small towns in Sicily gave Chen Jun a clear understanding of Sicily.

People here live a peaceful life, and not many people join the mafia. Due to World War II, most people live in poverty, so they are keen to make money and live a prosperous life.

"Here we are, Mr. William. We have arrived in the town of Syracuse."

Ivan, who was leading the horse, shouted, causing Chen Jun, who was sitting in a daze, to startle immediately.

He raised his eyes and glanced around. The town presented an exotic style with warm tones. The roads were covered with cyan-textured stone pavements. The style of the houses imitated ancient Roman villas, with wide marble doorways and equally spacious vaulted rooms. There were also two rows of buildings in the town.

There are small but exquisite shops.

All of this is the same as the arrangement of the beautiful legend of Sicily in the movie, so it’s correct.

In the town, many people went shopping and sat in the beverage shop next to the store. They all looked strangely at Chen Jun and his group who were dressed in strange costumes.

"Sai Jin, I'll buy you some clothes for a few years!" Chen Jun got off the carriage.

"No sir, your generosity is enough." Sai Jin declined politely. The old man knew that he could not take advantage of too much.

"I have conditions. I like this town and I want to stay here for a while."

"So when will I leave, when will you be able to leave? Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I will help you perform successfully."

Chen Jun said, and took Ivan into a nearby clothing store.

During this period of time, there was still a lot of cash left in the wallet from the Corleone family, so I could still do some tricks to win people's hearts.

He needs Sai Jin's circus as a cover. If a person wants to complete the task of conquering Malena, he suddenly appears in the small town and pursues Malena, a woman who makes countless men fly to the flames.

The man investigates his strange identity.

Positioned as a middle-class circus leader, he is not as conspicuous as a rich man, nor is he so jealous.

Entering the clothing store, Ivan looked curiously at the finely decorated clothes all around. He absolutely swore that Mr. William was the best person to him in his life.

If she were a woman, he would definitely fall in love with such a man, but he didn't expect that when he saw the woman coming in front of him, his eyes widened and he was stunned on the spot.

Chen Jun looked at the woman in front of him with a black gauze in his hand and an indifferent expression, and was slightly surprised.

It's Malena.
