After half a year, Luo Lie once again set foot on the land of New York. The lights and wine are bright and the traffic is busy, and New York is even more prosperous.

After getting off the train and leaving the station, Luo Lie called a taxi. After getting on the bus, he subconsciously reported the destination of the Global Circus. When he heard that he said the name of the Global Circus, Luo Lie was stunned.

I have been in the United States of America for five years and four months, of which four and eight months have been spent in the Global Circus. This is the most important four years and eight months in Luo Lie's growth process. Not only did he grow up from an ignorant boy to a handsome guy, but he also practiced the flying knife skills with his senior brother, but he also gained the sweetest love in his life for the first time.

Alice, the girl he will never forget, has an inseparable relationship with the Global Circus.

After being stunned, Luo Lie did not change his words. The memories that surged into his heart instantly made him sigh. There was the kind face of the master, the harsh punishment of the senior brother, the hot meal cooked by the master's sister-in-law, and more of Alice's smile and her silver bell-like laughter. "I should go back and see it. I don't know how Mr. Anderson is doing." Luo Lie made up his mind and narrowed his eyes with peace of mind.

The Global Circus was almost unchanged, and the person who was guarding the door was still the white old man named Sam. However, the traces of time made a few more wrinkles on his face. When he saw Luo Lie walking in from outside the door, the old man was stunned at first, then stared at Luo Lie, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. "Nuoli? Oh, my God, is it really you?" The old man pushed open the door of the door and ran towards Luo Lie happily.

Luo Lie took two steps, met Uncle Sam, and said, "Uncle Sam, are you okay? I am Nuoli!"

Uncle Sam said excitedly: "It's a happy thing to see you again, Nuoli, my child, after you leave, I often think of you and Alice, oh, by the way, why didn't that cute little girl Alice come back with you?"

Luo Lie told a kind lie and said, "Alice's performance in Kingsoft is very heavy, so she can't take a vacation."

Uncle Sam said: "She must be very popular in Kingsoft. I knew that this girl is beautiful and her singing is so charming. She will sooner or later become a big hit."

Luo Lie's nose was sore, and he quickly turned his head and pretended to observe the changes in the circus. But after looking around, he couldn't find any changes. "Uncle Sam, how is the business of the circus? Is he okay with Mr. Anderson?"

Uncle Sam flashed a hint of uneasiness, and then covered up, "Okay, everything is the same as before, Mr. Anderson is also good, but he is busier than before."

Luo Lie took out a bottle of wine from his backpack and handed it to Uncle Sam, saying, "Uncle Sam, I'm in a hurry and didn't have time to carefully select gifts for you. This bottle of wine is my hometown wine. I'll give it to you for a souvenir."

Uncle Sam took the bottle, hugged it in his arms with cherishing, and said, "Thank you, Nuoli, the people from the Global Circus, who are in and out, and only you can still think of Uncle Sam when you come back."

Luo Lie smiled humbly and said, "Uncle Sam, I want to go and see Mr. Anderson. When I have met Mr. Anderson, I will come back to chat with you. Is it okay?"

Uncle Sam smiled and said, "Of course."

He knocked on Mr. Anderson's office, and when he saw Mr. Anderson, Luo Lie's eyebrows couldn't help but jump. However, in just over half a year, Mr. Anderson has become much older and haggard.

But seeing that Luo Lie was walking into the door, little Anderson was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes, stood up in surprise, opened his arms, rushed out from behind the desk, and faced Luo Lie. "Nuoli!? Could it be you?" little Anderson hugged Luo Lie, and put his cheeks on Luo Lie's cheeks, shouting: "My friend, I'm so happy. I really didn't expect you to come back to see me."

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Anderson, are you okay?"

Little Anderson invited Luo Lie to the sofa area and sat down. He called his assistant and told him to make two cups of coffee. Then he replied to Luo Lie: "I'm very good, Nuoli, thank you for your concern."

Luo Lie said: "I am very forgiving, Mr. Anderson, I see that you look bad and look very haggard. If you treat me as a friend, please tell me what difficulties you have encountered."

Little Anderson was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh, "Since we are friends, and you can see that, I don't have to hide anything from you anymore. Nuoli, the Universal Circus has indeed encountered some problems. We were entangled by Mafia and could never get rid of it."

"Mafia?" Luo Lie said in surprise: "How could Mafia get involved in the circus business? Mr. Anderson, I really don't understand, how could you offend Mafia?"

Anderson Jr. sighed: "How could I take the initiative to provoke Mafia? It was the Royal Circus who was making trouble behind the scenes! They didn't know why they had something to do with Mafia. For a while, Mafia has been asking me to sell the Universal Circus to the Royal Circus."

The battle between the Universal Circus and the Royal Circus has been a long history. Compared with the Anderson family, the Lopez family, the owner of the Royal Circus, is more financially powerful. The main business of the old Lopez is not the Royal Circus. He is also one of the top ten real estate developers in New York. Running the circus is just one of his hobbies.

Old Lopez is a competitive man. For many years, he was resentful of the reality that the Universal Circus had always suppressed the Royal Circus. He tried various methods, including poaching Naduo and Hu Yiqing by any means five years ago and instigating Naduo Hu Yiqing to harm his old boss, but he was still unable to be proud. On the contrary, Anderson led the Universal Circus to overcome various difficulties and develop steadily, and the gap between him and the Royal Circus was getting bigger and bigger.

Two months ago, a property in Old Lopez was completed and sold. Mafia took a fancy to the location of the property and wanted to rent a floor to open a small casino. After contacting Mafia, Old Lopez had a sudden idea and made a suggestion to Mafia that if Mafia could help him successfully acquire the Global Circus, he could give a 50% discount on the rent for this floor.

Just assisting in the acquisition rather than plundering, this is not a big deal for Mafia. With the 50% discount on real profit stimulation, Mafia happily agreed to Old Lopez.

The acquisition price offered by Old Lopez should be said to be fair, but Anderson, Little, likes the circus career so much, immediately replied that even if Old Lopez doubled the acquisition price, he would not consider selling the Global Circus. In this way, it has annoyed Mafia. From that day on, every now and then, there will always be people from Mafia coming to cause trouble.

The audience came to the circus to watch the circus performance, but they didn't want to provoke the notorious Mafia. Therefore, the business of the Universal Circus fell sharply because Mafia caused trouble every now and then. At the same time, the attendance rate of the Royal Circus not far away showed a steady increase. Old Lopez was very satisfied with this result and finally gave Mafia a 50% discount. There was only one condition, so he persisted in going to the Universal Circus to cause trouble.

"I talked to them and wanted to spend money to eliminate disasters, but compared to the 50% discount on rent given by Old Lopez, I can't afford the money at all. I also want to call the police to deal with it. However, the police can't control Mafia at all, and they don't even dare to control Mafia. To this day, even if I want to sell the Universal Circus to Old Lopez, I can't realize it because he thought of this more favorable way to deal with me." Anderson Jr. told Luo Lie about the cause and effect of the matter, and finally sighed: "The attendance rate of the Universal Circus has dropped to about 50%. If it falls further, the Universal Circus will only have the path of bankruptcy and disbandment."

Luo Lie took a sip of coffee and asked, "How do you know the truth behind the scenes?"

Anderson Jr. said: "I've talked to them and they told me in person."

Luo Lie put down the coffee cup, nodded, and asked again: "What is the name of their leader?"

Anderson Jr. said: "Costa, Tony Costa."

Luo Lie couldn't help frowning. It was impossible to tell which of the five major families he belonged to from the name of this person alone. If he belonged to the Gambino family, then he only needed to call George's name and the problem would be properly solved. But if he did not belong to the Gambino family, things would be a little troublesome.

"Mr. Anderson, you don't have to be too negative. Things are far from being desperate. Give me some time. Maybe I can help you solve this problem." Luo Lie had already figured out a strategy to deal with it when he made the promise.

Anderson said anxiously: "No, Nuoli, you don't need to get into this muddy water. I have already thought about it. If it really doesn't work, just take the circus away from New York. Mafia is definitely not something that people like you and me can provoke. If they anger, they can do anything!"

Luo Lie smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Although Mafia is cruel and tyrannical, she is still a gang that pays attention to morality in the world. The reason they bully you like this is just because you are not a gang, and the Global Circus is not a gang. Mr. Anderson, our Peng Family Ban was taken care of when working for you. Now, it should be the time for me to repay you on behalf of Peng Family Ban."

Those Mafia also cooperated. When Luo Lie bid farewell to Anderson and returned to the gate of the circus and wanted to chat with Uncle Sam for a few more words, four Mafia who came to make trouble appeared at the gate.

"Don't look at them like this, Nuli, they are Mafia, they are never reasonable." Uncle Sam hurriedly blocked Luo Lie behind him, nodded and bowed to the four Mafia to express his apology.

The four arrogant and arrogant people didn't even look at Uncle Sam, and they were about to break into the circus gate.

Luo Lie suddenly flashed out from behind Uncle Sam, stopped the four people, and shouted: "Who are you? The Global Circus only welcomes the audience, not you guys who are provoking trouble."

The four of them were the lowest-level minions among Mafia, but relying on Mafia's reputation, they were used to being arrogant and domineering. How could they take Luo Lie seriously? "Who are you? Dog shit, are you looking for a beating?" One of the guys with shoulder-length curly hair rushed up and grabbed Luo Lie's collar.

Luo Lie couldn't help but show a look of contempt. If he really did, the other party's move would leave at least three flaws for Luo Lie. Luo Lie was sure to subdue him with a single fist and a single palm in one move. However, the Chinese people pay attention to etiquette first and then soldiers. Luo Lie habitually took a step back and dodged the ghost claw with dense and long hair. "Jinshan Anliangtang, Noli!" Luo Lie took another step, picked up his fists, and reported to his house.

Few members of Mafia have read books, and they rarely travel far after they come to America. For the city of Kingsoft, if you have been to, you may not even know where the location is. However, the three words "Anliangtang" are well-known to them. The five major families of Mafia in New York have warned their subordinates many times that they must not have conflicts with Anliangtang's people unless they have to.

The four minions were stunned when they heard Luo Lie's self-reported house, but their face problems made them forget the organization's admonition, thinking that if the four of them were driven out of the circus gate by one, they would have lost all Mafia's face in their face.

So, the four minions sneered and surrounded Luo Lie in the middle. The shoulder-length curly hair took out a clamping spring from his arms, bounced out the blade, and shook it towards Luo Lie, scolding and said in a vague manner: "Little bastard, let you see the means of seeing Mafia today!"

It was embarrassing to beat one of the four, and one of them showed the spring. Therefore, not only did the other three minions not show the weapon, but instead had the intention of standing by. It was no wonder that Mafia, who was not good at dealing with a young man with a yellowish stinky man, was not enough to deal with a person with one knife?

However, as soon as the shoulder-length curly hair was pulled open, Luo Lie's punch was hit on the bridge of his nose. After this punch was hit, before he could react, Luo Lie's four fingers were poked heavily in the throat. The bridge of the nose is the most fragile bone in the human body, and the throat is the weakest part of the human body. These two places were severely damaged. The shoulder-length curly hair had no ability to counterattack. The clamping spring in his hand was removed by Luo Lie's next small grasping hand, and then it was put on the ground by a tripping leg.

Seeing this, the other three minions immediately changed their faces and rushed towards Luo Lie.

Luo Lie raised his lips lightly and used the street fighting tricks taught by Dong Biao: sealing his eyes, locking his throat, and kicking his crotch.

One move, three moves, three moves, in just a few seconds, all three minions curled up on the ground with their crotch.

There is a lively place where there is a crowd of people, and at this time, the audience who have purchased tickets to perform for the evening have entered one after another. There are many onlookers watching the crowd. One of the people who don’t know the truth even shouted “Okay!” at the top of their voice.

The four Mafia minions were embarrassed after suffering losses. They felt a lot of aggrievances, but they were afraid of Luo Lie's power, so they had to escape in a panic. Before leaving, the shoulder-length curly hair, who seemed to be beaten the most, threw down a vicious sentence, barely regained a trace of face: "If you have the kindness, you can wait!"

Of course Luo Lie had to wait, otherwise, if Mafia holds a grudge, he will inevitably spread his anger to other actors in the circus. If so, Luo Lie would not be solving the trouble for little Anderson, but causing him trouble.

When the little Anderson arrived after hearing the news, he was a little at a loss. In rationality, he thought Luo Lie's behavior was impulsive, but emotionally, he was unwilling to blame Luo Lie for a while.

Luo Lie saw the complicated mood of Anderson and said, "Mr. Anderson, please rest assured. If you do things and do one person, I will not implicate the circus."

Anderson, little, angrily, "Nuoli, what are you saying? Didn't you regard me as a friend? I'm not worried about the safety of the circus. I'm ready for the worst. What I'm worried about is you, the Mafia people are numerous and there are a lot of guns. How could you be their opponent alone?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I don't plan to be an enemy of Mafia, but I just taught these ignorant boys for their parents. Mr. Anderson, I misunderstood you just now. I apologize to you, but I still hope you don't get involved, as this will not help solve the problem."

Anderson little shook his head and said, "No, Nuoli, although you are no longer an employee of the Global Circus, you are still my friend. I cannot be unresponsible for your safety. So, I urge you to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, okay?"

Luo Lie said: "I will not leave, and An Liangtang has no precedent for causing trouble and is not responsible to the end!"

Anderson little was surprised and said, "Have you entered Anliangtang?"

Luo Lie smiled faintly and said, "Yes, my master, Mr. Lao Gui, and my senior brother, Mr. Zhao Daxin, are all from Anliangtang!"

Little Anderson couldn't help but exclaim: "No wonder, no wonder they are so well-behaved. It turns out that they are all from Anliangtang."

Luo Lie said: "Yes, Mr. Anderson, can you rest assured now? An Liangtang and Mafia have always been a good water that never breaks the river. This time, Mafia's people first provoked me. The fault was them, so they did not dare to provoke trouble."

Anderson, little, immediately regained his rationality and said, "How can I rest assured? Nuoli, I know Anliangtang is abide by the rules, but I have no confidence in Mafia. They are so mean and can do anything. I still stick to my point of view. You must leave as soon as possible and avoid their anger. I believe you can help me solve this problem, but this matter must be long-term and not be strong for a while!"

Anderson's stubbornness was also because he was worried about Luo Lie's safety, so Luo Lie must not speak harshly to Anderson. "Mr. Anderson, this is better. Do you know the address of Anliangtang in New York?" After receiving Anderson's affirmative answer, Luo Lie continued: "Drive here and tell them that I have some friction with Mafia here, and they know what to do."

Anderson's eyes lit up at first, then he returned to his face full of sorrow and said, "The headquarters of Anliangtang in New York is in the South District of Manhattan. It will take at least half an hour to drive here. I'm worried that this method is not too late."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "If you continue to hesitate, it will only be even more late. Mr. Anderson, I can promise you that before the reinforcements arrived, I will hide from those Mafia."

Anderson, little, also knew that it was obviously impossible to get Luo Lie to accept his suggestion and leave the circus quickly. The suggestion made by Luo Lie seemed to be the best way, so he made a compromise and ordered his assistant to drive his car over quickly.

After finally sending Anderson away, Luo Lie took Uncle Sam's shoulder and entered the gate. Uncle Sam was very nervous and said, "Nuoli, I think Mr. Anderson's suggestion makes sense. Before your reinforcements arrive, you'd better hide from their limelight."

Luo Lie patted Uncle Sam on the shoulder and said, "You should be hiding. If you really fight later, I'm worried that you will hurt you by chance."

Uncle Sam was very interesting and said it was quite easy, but then he used the excuse of going to get some water for Luo Lie to make coffee. After leaving the gate, he disappeared again.

It doesn't matter. Luo Lie originally had no hope of finding helpers in the circus. Since the Peng family left, the Global Circus has no Chinese circus actors. The foreign actors and foreign staff are all irrelevant. As for the dangers that the boss Mr. Anderson Jr. has encountered, it seems to have nothing to do with them. All they ask is to do their best to perform their own programs, and then when it comes to paying, they can get their salary on time and count.

Luo Lie was not sure what kind of reaction the leader Mafia, named Tony Costa, would eventually react. In fact, the encounter with the four minions at the gate was not Luo Lie's plan. The strategy he originally thought of was to meet the big boss of the Gambino family under the banner of George Gambino. I believe that with George's relationship, the big boss of the Gambino family would definitely agree to his request and come forward to reconcile.

But his luck was a little bit worse, and Luo Lie caught up with the four minions to come and cause trouble. The young Luo Lie couldn't help but lose his energy for a moment, and he ended up completely disagreeing with the planned strategy designed in advance.

However, Luo Lie was not very nervous because he had already claimed the name of Jinshan Anliangtang. The three words Anliangtang alone were enough to make Tony Costa think carefully. Maybe he would mobilize a lot, but it seems unlikely to say that if he wanted to fight, it would be very likely.

In addition to the five major families in New York, Mafia has more than 20 small families, and Tony Costa belongs to one of the more than 20 small families.

But there are always coincidences in the world. Although Tony Costa does not belong to the Gambino family, he and George Gambino were good friends in childhood. When they entered school, they were also a deskmate for three years. Therefore, when his brothers reported to him that they were humiliated at the Global Circus, Tony Costa first thought was to say hello to the boss of the Gambino family and seek advice.

Because, relying solely on his strength, it is absolutely impossible to fight against An Liangtang. If he does not have the support of the five major families, fighting against An Liangtang is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Sandero's murder in Kingsoft was a shame for the Gambino family, and naturally he could not be given a fame. Therefore, George took his men to Kingsoft to deal with Sandero's funeral, and was also in a state of confidentiality. As Tony Costa, who is outside the family, although he has an unusual relationship with George, he is not sure where George is.

Old Gambino met Tony Costa, listened patiently to Tony Costa’s statement on the whole matter, and then smiled at Tony Costa: "My child, you may not know yet. All the people in Kingsoft Anliangtang are George's good friends. That young man named Noli can teach your four subordinates a lesson by one person. This only shows that he has a very high status in Kingsoft Anliangtang. Maybe when he was in Kingsoft, he got along like a brother with George!"

Tony Costa said in surprise: "George has gone to Kingsoft? No wonder I haven't heard him for a long time."

Old Gambino said: "Yes, George did go to Kingsoft. Tom of Kingsoft Anliangtang transferred all his casino business to George, Tony, you are George's brother. I think you will not have a misunderstanding with George's friends, right?"

There is no doubt that Mafia is an external family, but in terms of external attitudes, the five elder brothers and more than 20 younger brothers in this family often have huge differences. Kingsoft Anliangtang transferred all his casino business to George. Then, in the face of interests, Old Gambino obviously would not take an attitude of opposition to Anliangtang. Not getting Old Gambino's support means that it is impossible to get the support of the other four major families, because in the face of the other four major families, Old Gambino's face is much greater than that of his Tony Costa.

Old Gambino's words were already very obvious. Not only did he not support Tony Costa and An Liangtang's friction, he even criticized him for not indulging his subordinates in misunderstandings with An Liangtang's people. In the face of strength, the so-called truth is bullshit. Only those who have absolute strength can say something reasonable. For Tony Costa, Old Gambino is the one who has absolute strength.

"I know what to do, Mr. Gambino, I'll go to the Universal Circus to eliminate the misunderstandings now." Tony Costa quickly adjusted his mood and changed his attitude.
To be continued...
