Chapter 175 - Shadow Mayor (two in one)

The sky became more and more gloomy and it began to drizzle.

With the numerous guests in place, Kim Bing's funeral officially began.

At this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz arrived late and Tommy finally arrived at the scene.

"Sorry, I'm late."

In order to match today's funeral, he wore a dark suit, with black color from head to toe and tie, which made him look extremely solemn.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Especially those gang members.

At this time, everyone is competing for the inheritance of gold and fighting each other.

As a famous gang leader in the underground world of New York, Tommy never had any intention of joining the gang war.

In this case, various gangs are happy to see it.

Jointly, Russian Gang...

In just less than a year, the Visedi Gang killed two powerful opponents, and the powerful strength they showed made everyone very afraid.

If such a strong enemy ends up joining the war, it will be bad for all gangs.

Therefore, as soon as Tommy arrived, many eyes were casting at him, paying close attention to his every move, as if he was going to dig out his mind.

Of course, Tommy could feel those ulterior motives of gazes, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and strode down to the center of the venue.

"Sorry, I'm late."

When he walked to Vanessa, he greeted him politely, reached out to hold his hand and shook him, and looked at him.

Gaunt and powerless.

This is the first feeling Vanessa has brought him.

This is no wonder.

After Kim and died, Vanessa was in too much trouble.

As a weak woman, she was unable to deal with it at all.

Even with James on the side to assist, there are still many difficulties that cannot be solved.

After all, James is not omnipotent.

His role is nothing more than Jin Bing's military advisor.

When Jin Bing was around, he could still pretend to be powerful, and many people would listen to him.

But now Jin is no longer there, and it is difficult to say how long his deterrent power can last.

And this is part of the reason why Tommy appears here today.

"Thank you for coming, Tommy."

Vanessa's voice was a little hoarse, but full of gratitude. She paused slightly, as if she was calming her inner emotions, and then said:

"Thanks to your help during this period."

Don't get me wrong.

Tommy is really just helping.

The same sentence.

Vanessa encountered countless troubles due to the huge wealth she held in her palm.

Conspiracies and intrigues are light, and various assassinations are emerging one after another.

To protect Vanessa's safety, Tommy sent a security team.

The security team consisted of 16 people, led by Franklin Clinton, one of the first people to follow Tommy and was deeply trusted by Tommy.

He was asked to lead the team not because of Franklin's combat effectiveness, but because he valued his flexibility and quick action.

When facing various emergencies, he can respond immediately and protect Vanessa's safety to the greatest extent.

Moreover, compared with Tommy's previous operations, this time the security team reduced the manpower for violent destruction and focused more on communication, tracking, anti-eavesdropping and other aspects.

Considering Vanessa's female identity, Tommy specially arranged several female vampires in the team.

This was specially transferred from Europe to protect Vanessa.

Not only that, he even called Selena.

Although Selena looks weak, her strength is the best among the entire security team.

Even if everyone else rushed forward, they would not be Selina's opponent.

Of course, Tommy has put in such a lot of effort, of course it is not out of kindness.

The price Vanessa paid for this can be said to be extremely high.

She gave almost everything and handed over several of Jinbing's companies to Tommy.

In order to avoid too much attention from the outside world, the procedures are only carried out in secret and have not been shown to the outside world for the time being.

However, the relevant contract has been signed, and the handover procedures will be officially completed as soon as the time comes.

It can be said that quietly, Tommy has taken the greatest benefit to his hands.

Of course, all things in the world pay attention to equal exchange.

Tommy didn't take Vanessa's benefits in vain either.

In addition to sending people to protect Vanessa's safety, he also promised Vanessa to help the other party investigate the truth about Jin Ge's death and arrest the real murderer who killed Jin Ge.

And this so-called "real culprit" is naturally the unlucky red hood.

The dead cannot speak.

Even though the Red Hood was wronged, he, who turned into ashes, could not jump out to defend himself.

What's more, Red Hood does have the idea of ​​attacking gold.

Tommy said this, it was not unfair to him.

"In addition, there is one more thing, I think you will be interested in knowing..."

Tommy bent down slightly, leaned close to Vanessa's ear, and lowered his voice and said a few words.

Vanessa's face suddenly became shady, both angry and shocked.

"How could it be him..."

She seemed to feel unbelievable, and she muttered to herself.

"I understand you. It's really hard to believe in this matter, but sometimes, the most unlikely possibility is often reality."

He reached out and patted her shoulder gently, Tommy showed comfort, then he raised his head, glanced around the crowd, and finally landed on a man in suit not far away.

Recognizing Tommy's gaze, James nodded, and a stiff smile appeared on his face, and instinctively felt something was wrong in his heart.

He didn't know what Tommy and Vanessa were talking about, but it was obvious that what the two said had something to do with him.

Recalling the bad thing he had done before, James' smile disappeared, he immediately lowered his head, hurriedly left, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

James thought he was doing something without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that Red Hood had betrayed him.

The secret about the cloak was kept holding on to the Red Hood, but he told all the other irrelevant things in one breath.

This is how James was exposed.

"Do you use me to help? Don't worry, I won't charge you this time."

Tommy is not the kind of person who is petty. He has taken so many benefits from Vanessa, so there is no need to care about those three melons and two dates.

"certainly."

Vanessa naturally would not refuse, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes and she said with gritted teeth.

Don't underestimate a woman's revenge mentality.

Especially for women whose husbands have died, their vengeance should not be underestimated.

After chatting with Vanessa for a few more words, Tommy turned around and walked towards the black Mercedes-Benz outside.

Just go through the motions and make sense, there is no need to participate in the whole process here.

But before he could take a few steps, a fat figure walked towards him.

"Long time no see, Director Crick, are you here to attend the funeral?"

Tommy was obviously asking knowingly - how could the dignified police chief attend the funeral of the gang leader?

Director Crick's arrival today is more surveillance than mourning, preventing any chaos at the funeral and making this already turbulent city even worse.

At the same time, he also carried an important task.

"Come with me."

Director Creek did not mean to be polite to Tommy. He didn't say a word of nonsense, and then turned around and took Tommy to an extended Lincoln car parked on the side of the road.

Tommy originally thought that Director Crick had something to say to him, but what he didn't expect was that there was actually someone else who was looking for him.

"Hello, Mayor Bloomberg, I didn't expect us to meet in such a place."

That's right.

The one who appeared in front of Tommy at this moment was Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City and the founder of the largest financial information company in America.

To be honest, Michael doesn't want to see Tommy.

He had a bad impression of Tommy.

It's not that he cares about Tommy's identity.

In the capitalist country of America, no matter what one does, no one will be despised, only those who have no money will be despised.

To summarize it in more vivid sentences, it means laughing at the poor but not at the prostitute.

Against Tommy's rich fortune, his past of crimes seemed insignificant.

The key reason why Michael dislikes Tommy is because of his youngest daughter Georgina.

During this period, his youngest daughter Georgina was very unhappy and stuck at home all day and didn't even go to her favorite horse farm.

Michael didn't understand at first.

I just thought my little daughter was on her menstrual period again.

But later he found out that Georgina was acting like this just because her beloved man cheated on her.

And this man's identity is Tommy Visedi sitting in front of him.

If only that was the case, Michael wouldn't be angry either.

The key point is that Georgina also excused Tommy, saying that this was not Tommy's fault, it was all about Ivanka's vixen behind the scenes.

Listening to his daughter's words to protect Tommy, Michael's anger surged.

He was taken advantage of and took the initiative to excuse others.

He couldn't figure out what magic the guy named Tommy Vesedi had that could actually coax his always-savvy little daughter into that look.

Of course, Tommy wouldn't know what he was thinking.

But if Tommy knew his questions, he would definitely tell him that it was simple.

He has no magic power, let alone any skills, it is nothing more than diligence and attentiveness.

To put it more specifically, it is only three hours, not stopping.

Well, that's the case.

The children's relationship was aside, and Michael had something else to do with Tommy today.

Instead of opening his mouth directly, he took out a bottle of red wine from the insulated box in the car, opened it directly and poured two glasses.

One cup was left for myself and the other was handed to Tommy.

"This is a red wine produced by my own manor. Try it and see, how does it taste?"

"It's really good."

Tommy took a slight taste and his eyes lit up and he exclaimed sincerely.

"It has a very layered feeling, the mouth is refreshing and delicate, it is neither sour nor astringent, and the fruity aroma fills the mouth. The low-temperature and ice-cold storage method makes the red wine taste more refreshing. Not bad, it's really good."

After hearing his praise, Michael's expression improved a lot.

Finally, he is a tasteful guy, looks very good, and his abilities are even more impeccable.

If you can get rid of your fickleness, you will be a good marriage partner.

And he also heard that Tommy was invincible in the stock market, and never suffered any losses.

This amazing vision is more suitable for financial work and is his most suitable successor.

Although it is a bit early to consider the successor, Michael really has no choice.

He has no sons, only two daughters, but his two daughters are both passionate about charity and are not interested in family business at all.

The eldest daughter Emma is better. She stayed in business school for two years and joined his team to help him successfully run for mayor of New York.

Georgina is completely out of the way. Apart from charity, the only thing left in her life is horse racing, as if that is her second life.

Michael even suspected that his daughter might die alone.

For this reason, Michael attaches great importance to Tommy.

He hopes that the young man in front of him can join his family.

This will not only make Georgina happy, but also allow someone to take over his job, inherit his career, and avoid the embarrassing situation of no successor.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for Tommy's flirting problem, it's not a problem at all.

He is young and rich, and he is romantic. Who will not love him when he sees him?

He was also young and had experiences like Tommy, so he could naturally understand what Tommy did.

As for men, it’s all like this. It’s nothing more romantic now. After getting married, it will improve.

Even if you still think in your heart, your body will become difficult to support, and even if you have that heart, you will not have that power.

Thinking of this in my mind, Michael's attitude became better and better, and his tone became more and more gentle.

Tommy was a little confused and couldn't figure out what Michael was going to come.

But considering the identity of Mayor Michael, he still has to give the other party some face and continue to respond.

The two chatted for about half an hour, and Michael finally finished the greetings and began to talk about the main topic.

“There are dozens of gangs in New York City, and they are different in size. I am the mayor of New York and should be cracked down on these gangs.

But I think you know some things, it is impossible. Even if I sweep away one batch immediately, the second batch will immediately follow.

So, I can tolerate the existence of gangs, but correspondingly, I need order.

I don't care who you are next Kim Bing, I just don't want to see anyone fighting again. This protracted gang war is time to end. ”

Michael was so open and honest, obviously having a heart-to-heart talk with Tommy.

"This matter is difficult to deal with, but since you said that, I will find a way to deal with it."

Tommy has nothing to pretend.

People say everything so clearly, and it would be boring for him to pretend to behave.

Moreover, his ideas are not much different from Michael.

To this day, this farce should indeed come to an end and usher in its final end.

"Don't worry, Tommy, I won't treat you badly. If you can solve all this, from now on, you will be the shadow mayor of New York and the new king of Manhattan!"
