Dark clouds hung low, covering the dim stars and moon.
At 8:20 pm, Luke led the Howling Commandos in disguise and swaggered into the naval camp, greeting the soldiers eagerly.
Boxes of cigarettes, wine, and food were delivered to the commander's barracks as if they were free of charge.
There are also those voluptuous tuo dancers, wearing revealing costumes, posing on the performance stage, causing wolves to howl below.
"Captain Dawe, it's just such a small thing, it's disrespectful."
In the reception room of the Munitions Department, Luke, wearing a black top hat, coat and suit, sat opposite the desk.
With a smile on his face, he took out a palm-sized long gift box. Inside was a sparkling pearl necklace. Judging from the color and size, it was obviously expensive.
"I came in a hurry. I don't have much gifts to give. I just gave a necklace to the captain's wife."
Captain David, who had a beer belly, nodded with satisfaction and put away the gift box calmly.
This is a time of war, and the monetary system has long since collapsed. Banknotes are no different from waste paper. Only gold and jewelry are hard currencies.
"By the way, there's one more thing... Ahem, Captain David can send a friend."
Luke then took out another gift box, which contained a more valuable green agate necklace.
Captain David's eyes lit up. This smuggler was very smart. He knew that he still had a mistress.
He didn't notice Luke's pity look at all, nor did he know that the color of the hat on his head was just like the green agate necklace, full of forgiveness.
"To be honest, Mr. Corleone, I heard Lieutenant Sirio mention you. Since you are his friend, you are also my friend. If you want to do smuggling business, the Navy will definitely welcome you warmly and ensure that your ships can move smoothly. !”
Captain David was also an honest man. After accepting the favor, he patted his chest and promised: "As long as it is your smuggling ship from now on, I can ask Lieutenant Sirio to send a warship to escort it!"
"Then I'd like to thank Captain David first. This is just a small gift. The surprises are yet to come."
Luke's eyes flashed and he said meaningfully.
"However, we also have conditions... As long as Mr. Corleone is willing to let the Navy take half of every smuggling, we will definitely cooperate happily."
Captain David's eyes were full of greed, and he finally made formal conditions.
The Navy cannot engage in smuggling openly and make huge profits, so it wants to use Mr. Corleone as a cash machine.
Taking half of every smuggled cargo would definitely make these high-ranking navy officials happy.
Now that the domestic situation is so tense and the war is getting more intense, seizing the time to make money is the best way to go!
Captain David thought so.
"You also know that by covering up smuggling, we are taking huge risks, and may even go to military court..."
Looking at Captain David's greedy look, Luke still had a smile on his face and didn't seem angry at all.
He suddenly stood up, raised his hand and glanced at the time, and said softly: "It's time."
"Mr. Corleone, what are you talking about?"
Captain David looked confused. He didn't know why the smuggler stood up inexplicably while he was talking about business.
Moreover, the other party's looking down at him made him very uncomfortable!
It's like my own existence suddenly became insignificant!
"Sit down! Mr. Corleone!"
Captain David said angrily with an emphasis on his tone.
"Haven't you noticed yet, Captain? You are no longer qualified to give orders."
Luke laughed as he heard movement outside.
With the fear gas produced by Gotham City's Scarecrow, it couldn't be easier to deal with these Italian soldiers.
The Howling Commandos simply put on their own gas masks and then release the gas.
It won't be long before the entire camp is paralyzed.
Those naval soldiers whose hearts were gripped by fear were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, completely losing their ability to resist.
"What's going on? What happened? What do you want to do! I'm warning you, don't come over!"
Captain David finally realized that something was wrong, and the frightened screams from outside also entered the room.
He quickly pulled out the automatic pistol in his belt, but unfortunately before he could pull the trigger, his arm was twisted into a twist.
The white bone stubble pierced the skin and spurted out a large amount of blood.
A burst of severe pain hit him, and Captain David fell to his knees directly on the ground. He couldn't help but scream loudly, trying to alert the guards outside the door.
"Sorry, I couldn't control my strength."
Luke apologized without sincerity.
Looking at Captain David, who kept moving his bloated body and retreated, he felt no fluctuation in his heart.
Thanks to the experience he learned from painting houses with Uncle Frank, Luke no longer has any psychological burden on blood and death.
"Don't waste your efforts. The soldiers in the camp are either watching the tuo dance show, or they are crying for their mothers... We have also eliminated the guards on duty."
He said calmly.
The entire camp, including the Marine Police District, Construction Bureau, Munitions Bureau, Health Bureau, Port Authority, warehouses and other places under its jurisdiction, had long since collapsed under the sudden attack of the Howling Commandos and Mafia members.
Even patrol boats, minesweepers, and logistics auxiliary ships were eliminated by a group of mafia who brazenly invaded in the name of Captain David rewarding the soldiers.
Not only was the scarecrow's fear gas, the drinks delivered were mixed with special potions that would completely render even an elephant incapacitated after drinking it.
It can only be said that the Italian army really does not have any vigilance and is so lax that it can be dealt with by a group of mafia.
"Let me go! Please, Lord Corleone!"
Captain David begged, even his title changed.
"Of course I will let you go. Killing a prisoner is an inhumane act."
Luke shrugged. He had not restrained his strength just now, which made the unfortunate captain look so miserable.
"Don't be so afraid, Captain David, I'm not a devil."
Captain David's eyes were full of fear.
In fact, in his heart, Luke was no different from the devil.
How could a normal person break his arm like breaking chopsticks
Moreover, he felt that the other party didn't put in any effort at all!
"Stay here and don't try anything stupid. The radio station has been destroyed and the phone lines are cut. There is no way you can notify the garrison troops in other camps."
Luke looked at Captain David deeply, then walked over and took back the pearl necklace.
As for the other green onyx necklace
It was a fake prepared by Alessandro.
Luke pushed open the door of the Munitions Department conference room, and faintly frightened cries could be heard outside.
The Italian naval soldiers seemed to turn into fragile babies in an instant. The poisonous fear dragged them all into the darkness. The most fearful illusions in their hearts appeared in their minds, destroying their will.
The screams of fear echoed under the night sky.
However, as soon as this tiny, inarticulate sound came out, it was instantly swallowed up by the sound of waves lapping against the rocks.
Groups of mafias swarmed in, using axes or pistols to kill the patrol guards they saw without mercy, decisively and simply!
This was a silent raid. Luke stood on a high place, looking down at the bloody flowers blooming in the night, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
When the sun rises from the sea level tomorrow, half of Sicily will fall into his hands. (End of chapter)
