The news that Sang was seriously injured and on the verge of death shocked the entire underground world.

News came back that Godfather Vito Corleone had risen from his hospital bed to take charge of family affairs. The spies who attended the funeral reported that Don seemed to have recovered. The heads of the five major families began to prepare frantically to resist the bloody battle of revenge that was bound to break out.

No one would make the mistake of thinking that his godfather would be easier to deal with if he encountered misfortune. He made only a few mistakes in his life and learned from them each time.

Moreover, from the fact that the Corleone family fights alone against the five major families in New York, we can understand that the power of the Corleone family is astonishing and terrifying. Even the strong power of the five major families cannot bring down Corleone, the black evil dragon that dominates the United States.

Only Hagen knew that the godfather might pave the way for William's return.

On the same day, the five major families received news of the peace talks from the messengers sent by the godfather. Everyone was shocked. They did not think that the godfather would give up the perfect opportunity for revenge because his son was dying. However, another news came and the godfather held a meeting.

The National Gang Summit, and is guaranteed by the Buccichio family.

Only then did everyone feel relieved, because the Buchichio family was the most trustworthy family in Sicily and could not violate their lives.

With guarantors in place, peace talks took place in the boardroom of a small commercial bank, which was actually the Corleone family's bank.

On Saturday morning, the bank's CEO suite, conference room equipped with soft leather chairs, and a 100% private environment were all ready for the use of various families.

The major gangster families from all over the country were seated one after another. Opposite the Godfather were the seats of the five major families. They were far more powerful than other gangster families.

Officially arrived at 9 o'clock. A family can only lead one advisor. As the initiator, the godfather was the first to arrive, bringing advisor Tom Hagen, followed by the leaders of the five major families:

Barzini family: leader Emilio Barzini;

Curio family: leader Otilio Curio;

Strachey family: leader Anthony Strachey;

Tatakiria family, leader Philip Tatakiria;

Each of them led a counselor and sat in the seat opposite the godfather.

Although these major families are among the top five families with the Corleone family, their influence radiates across the United States, and they are all at the top level, but the Corleone family in the hands of the Godfather has to be considered separately. After all, the four major families together may not be able to defeat Corleone.

The family has already come to a conclusion in this war.

Many leaders looked at the Godfather, confused as to why he should start a gang summit meeting for peace talks when his beloved son was near death.

"First of all, I want to say thank you for coming. Everyone who comes here, I owe you a favor, and the purpose of today is just to talk some sense."

The godfather spoke first, as if nothing had happened: "Why do we want to go to war? Why is the situation like this?"

The people below were silent, some were smoking cigars, some were drinking wine, and they were quietly listening to the godfather's speech.

"Thank God, I have recovered my health and may be able to correct this matter in time. My son is probably too reckless, too lustful and too stubborn. I don't deny this."

"In short, let's put it this way. Sollozzo came to me to talk about business and asked me to help him with money and influence. He said that the Tartaglia family had already expressed interest. This business is selling books, and I am not interested in it.

I like silence, and such an enterprising business was too noisy for me. With respect for him and the Tartaglia family, I explained my views to Sollozzo. I expressed my refusal with the highest degree of politeness.

I said his business had nothing to do with my business and that I had no objection to him making a living in his own way."

"But...he misunderstood the meaning and brought misfortune to everyone. Alas, this is life. Who among you doesn't have your own sadness? The next development is really not in line with my intentions."

The godfather finished speaking in one breath, and Hagen handed him a glass of water to moisten his throat. He smiled and said, "I'm old, and I still need to drink water after talking so much."

"But since I'm old, I have to give in. I decided to make peace. Tartaglia's heir died, and my son was seriously injured. We are even. If people give up all reason and hold on to their resentment,

, what will this world become? This is the source of Sicily’s suffering. Men are too busy seeking revenge and have no time to support their families. It’s really stupid!”

"I want to say..." the godfather continued: "Before today, I did not take any measures to investigate who betrayed my son and who assassinated him. As long as we make peace, I will not from now on."

Do this.”

"But...I have only one wish."

The godfather glanced at the heads of the five major families in front of him one by one: "One of my sons has a family and cannot return. I must be guaranteed that when I make arrangements and he can return home safely, he will not be disturbed and does not need to worry about the government."

The rest of the families from all over the country breathed a sigh of relief. The godfather restored the original godfather, who was rational, flexible, and good-natured. However, everyone noticed that he claimed to have recovered from health, which shows that you must not blame the Corleone family.

He encountered various misfortunes and despised him.

The heads of the five major families looked at each other slightly. Is the godfather really that easy to talk to?

During this period, they faced the Corleone family war, and both sides suffered too many losses. The Tartaglia family lost its heir, and now the Corleone family's godfather's beloved son Sonny is dying.

His request was just to let his youngest son William return safely from Sicily and not to join forces to hunt him down.

It is true that the young man named William Corleone has brought them a lot of losses, but he is far from the weight of the Godfather's words. He promised not to pursue it anymore, and the two sides can negotiate everything, and all business can return to the right track, ending this chaos.

situation.

To be honest, they wanted to end it a long time ago. Now business and profit are everything.

However, among the five major families, only the head of the Tartaglia family was worried. He had lost his heir, and it was he who launched the assassination against Sonny. The godfather's verbal promise was not enough.

"I agree with what His Excellency Vito Corleone just said, to restore peace, but I would like to hear a strict guarantee from the Corleone family. Will he try for personal revenge? As time goes by, and his position may become stronger, he will

Have you forgotten our vow of everlasting friendship?”

"How do I know that in three or four years he will not feel that he has been wronged and forced to agree to today's agreement against his will, so he can break the oath at will? Do we have to be vigilant to each other at all times, or can we really live in peace with peace of mind?

Days? I am willing to give a guarantee, can Corleone give his guarantee to everyone?"

The leaders sitting in the seats looked at Vito Corleone again. No one dared to underestimate the power of the Corleone family. Will the godfather really not take revenge?

Godfather Vito Corleone stood up, put one hand on the thick desk, and looked at him: "Are you referring to revenge?"

"Will revenge bring your son back to life?" The godfather chuckled, "There is also Sonny who is dying. I don't care about his injuries and actions, but... in my opinion, Vito

Before Corleone's name can be guaranteed, I have a condition."

At this time, everyone can feel the fire in the godfather’s eyes, which makes people’s hearts palpitate and tremble:

"My youngest son, William Corleone, was forced to exile from this country because of the Sollozzo incident. I want him to return home safely and drop all wrongful accusations, but I..."

"But I am a superstitious person. If he unfortunately has an accident, he is shot and killed by the police while walking on the road, hanged in prison, is struck by lightning, the boat he is riding in falls into the sea, the plane he is riding in falls, or the car is hit

, as a superstitious person, I will blame you for your malice towards him, and I won’t be polite at that time.”

"Besides that, I swear on my grandson's life that I will never break the peace we concluded today."

The godfather pressed his chest with his left hand.
