In the meeting room of Bernardo Manor, Tagu received a report call from the canal and learned that the Bana City police system had an exchange of fire with Su Tianyu, Jiangzhou and others, and also blew up two bridges at the mouth of the canal, causing heavy losses to his side.
The most important thing is that in such a fierce exchange of fire, in addition to wasting a large amount of ammunition and collapsing two bridges, the Bana City side did not capture any important characters. Only corpses were left at the scene, and the people in the police system did not even see the shadow of Bruna.
This result was unacceptable to Tagu. He shook his sparse hair, sat on the chair and angrily cursed: "The idiot raised by my cousin, with a group of mentally retarded idiots, staged the biggest joke of the century at the mouth of the canal! A joke!!"
Tagu's temper was well-known throughout the military circles of Bana City. When everyone heard his angry curses, they all lowered their heads and dared not communicate with him.
After a while, Tagu's emotions calmed down on their own. He drank his coffee with a gloomy face and fell into deep thought.
From the report just now, Tagu learned that all the officers he sent to follow Booker were killed. Booker, who was always calm, acted so extremely this time, which made Tagu even more alert.
About ten minutes later, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the guard ran over to report: "Report to the commander, Mr. Booker is here."
"Let him in." Tagu picked up the cigar box and replied lightly.
At the door, Booker received the notice and walked into the meeting room alone. He lowered his head, his face was pale, and he did not speak.
Tagu lit up his cigar and said calmly, "I'm sorry, you still didn't obey my orders."
Booker lowered his head and was silent for a long time before replying: "I'm sorry, brother! It was my paranoia that made me make a mistake. I sincerely accept your criticism!"
There were two brothers, one sitting and the other standing. One was sweating and the other was smoking a cigar calmly.
The stalemate lasted for a long time before Tagu slowly stood up, holding a cigar in his mouth, and walked to Booker.
A strong sense of oppression pressed into Booker's heart. He was a little nervous and a little scared.
Booker still clearly remembers that when he was a child, when he went to play at his relative's ranch, Tagu stabbed a cow to death in the wooden fence because the cow howled in preparation for birth while he was taking a nap. He stabbed the cow's neck with a dagger, and then he went to rest in the tent covered in blood.
He was only thirteen years old that year!
In Booker's mind, Tagu is definitely a madman.
Tagu stood in front of his brother, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and said softly: "You know, my father passed away, and that idiot Bruna ran away with the Orientals. Our huge family is facing division. I... I don't have any direct relatives around me, only you and Boang."
"Yes." Booker nodded.
"I was crazy trying to make myself stronger just to protect my family." Tagu reached out and patted Booker on the shoulder: "You made a mistake, but you are my brother, and I can't bear to blame you. Just like Bruna is so stupid, I don't want to really hurt her."
A strange emotion rose in Booker's heart. He seemed a little moved. He raised his head and replied, "Thank you for your understanding, brother!"
"We are brothers!" Tagu patted his arm, took a puff of cigar and said, "Bruna wants to leave, let her leave. You, me, and Boang will continue to face the embarrassing situation of the Bernardo family."
"I'm completely at your disposal!" Booker immediately expressed his loyalty.
"Of course!" Tagu sighed, "We have a lot of things to do now, but the most urgent thing is to gather some funds. You know, the politicians who followed my father are all greedy old guys. They are more cunning than hyenas. We need to use a lot of money to buy them off, not slaughter them."
Booker was stunned.
"You may be surprised, but this is the best solution I can think of right now." Tagu sat on a chair. "If Bruna hadn't escaped, if the Orientals and District 1 hadn't been spying on our interests here, we could have killed all those who didn't listen. But the situation is a bit complicated now. If we don't handle it well, Bana City may be in danger of splitting. The armed forces alone may not be enough to support us to continue to be in power. We need to win people's hearts."
"Yes... yes." Booker replied.
"The money will come from the Panamanian municipal government. I will send some smart financial people there to check the accounts and collect the funds." Tagu intervened and looked at Booker: "I need your help in this."
Booker was the deputy chief executive of Bana City, equivalent to the second-in-command of the local government, but after his father died, according to his identity and position, he must be the new chief executive.
In other words, Tagu's decision to send someone to intervene in the municipal financial liquidation was equivalent to his attempt to seize financial power.
The question came to Booker. He looked at his brother and said without any hesitation: "Of course, you are the future owner of Bana City. No one has more power than you to distribute the wealth of Bana City."
Tagu looked at him and said, "Thank you for your support."
"We are brothers!"
"... Oh, and also, Boang's health is getting worse day by day, and it's so chaotic outside. I don't think he can take care of himself, so I plan to keep him with me." Tagu continued, "I will take good care of him."
Booker paused: "Of course, I believe it!"
"Then let's prepare ourselves." Tagu replied with a smile.
Five minutes later, Booker left the meeting room and walked out the door with an expressionless face.
Among the four core children of the Bernardo family, only Booker and Boang are born to the same father and mother. Tagu wanted to take him over and keep him by his side. His purpose was very clear.
Booker knew that his actions at the mouth of the canal had caused Tagu's dissatisfaction and vigilance, so he had to win back his eldest brother's trust.
A good family, with at least ten thousand thoughts in their minds, and the family relationship has long been as thin as a piece of white paper.
…
In the small town of Sri Lanka, inside the Chi Army base.
Su Tianyu and others got off the plane and took Bruna to the headquarters camp.
"What's the situation?" Zhao Weihu came out to greet him: "I heard that he was kicked out again?"
"Damn, it's good enough that I can come back alive." Su Tianyu sighed, stretched out his hand to pull Jiangzhou over and said, "Brother, let me introduce you, this is my new second brother, Jiangzhou!"
"Hello!" Zhao Weihu immediately extended his hand and said in a teasing tone: "Liuzi has mentioned you to me more than once. I think we get along very well... Why don't you take a break and we can become sworn brothers!"
When Dabai heard this, he muttered, "Alas, Brother Tiger has also become worldly."
