Chapter 132
Richie opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Madam Sicily, observing this, suggested:
"Considering the many contributions the Gambino family has made to Syracuse, I will give you a chance to compete."
"If you win, leave with your family before I release my investigation results. If you lose, be immediately expelled from Syracuse."
Ricky glanced guiltily at Sarkaz on the scene:
"With Father Agnil?"
As Madam Sicily spoke, she removed her white gloves:
"No, it's with me."
As the head of the Sicily Family, she was no weak woman. Her ability to rise to her current position in a violent society like Syracuse speaks volumes about her strength.
Richie took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance. As long as he avoided the priest, beating up a woman shouldn't be too difficult.
"Then I'll have to offend you, come on!"
A few hours ago, Lappland was completely lost.
After being forced to say goodbye to Texas and Shi Lei, she walked through the back alley but did not return to the Saluzzo family.
They've long been tired of this quagmire of Syracuse.
Why would a lone Lone Wolf return to its pack?
Lappland wandered aimlessly, and when he saw an empty bench by the roadside, he sat down. Looking back on this period of time, it was truly more exciting than the past few years.
Texas background and abilities were roughly equal to her own, began a new life in Lungmen. She made friends and was quite content with her new life.
Lappland tried to turn Texas back into the cold-blooded Chelinina she knew. But there was always a man by her side, making it impossible to do anything.
Mentioning Shi Lei Lappland back memories of the fierce battle at the stronghold a few days ago.
Texas didn't make a move then, Croissant Texas was too clumsy. She and Exusiai alone wiped out five or six hundred members of the Bruno family without sustaining any damage.
Lappland went on a killing spree that day, and had a blast.
The weapon was dulled from the blows, and my arm was numb from swinging, but I felt a long-lost sense of satisfaction. This opportunity to unleash my wild side is something most people never experience in their entire lives.
After the catharsis comes emptiness.
Lappland realized this, and afterwards, she was filled with deep melancholy. The thrill of killing came from Shi Lei, and so did Shi Lei impressive achievements.
Without him, I feel like I am nothing.
Lappland stared at the bustling traffic before her, as if something had intruded into her desolate heart.
She used to be particularly fond of learning Texas, even to the point of betraying her family. She wanted to live an unexpected life and experience a different kind of existence.
Now that I've met Texas, I've discovered that she has an even more interesting man in her life.
However, Lappland could not emulate it.
Shi Lei's family background is unknown, but it's definitely different from mine. In terms of ability, the difference is like night and day.
He can cast a shield, but he can't cast one himself.
He can fly, but I can't.
He can summon Cataclysmic Clouds, but he cannot do it himself.
He can summon Catastrophe Meteorite, but he himself cannot.
Even if the other party does something beyond Lappland's expectations, she just can't learn it.
Once she had experienced the thrill of unbridled wildness, she felt she could never go back. Rather than staying in Syracuse and wandering aimlessly every day, she'd rather just die.
Ah, I really want to be Shi Lei's wolf.
It seems that only by staying by his side can I truly feel that I am alive and vibrant.
Shi Lei has probably met Madam Sicily by now. I wonder what kind of clash will occur between them?
Seeing brown clouds suddenly appear in the sky above the city, and a huge meteorite falling into the distance, Lappland felt as if she had found her purpose in life, and she rose and gave chase!

Lappland walked westward along the cobblestone path. Apart from the landmark buildings, most of the buildings in Volcini were not very tall. She soon spotted brown clouds in the distance and the falling meteorite.
Within a few breaths, the brown clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the second meteorite fell in quick succession.
At this time
Passersby on the street had already noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky and stopped to watch.
Lappland knew that Shi Lei had made his move.
Only he could achieve this level of skill.
It seems that Shi Lei's negotiations with the Madam Sicily were not so pleasant, hahaha.
Lappland had a clear vision for the future. She didn't want to waste her remaining years aimlessly; instead, she wanted to stay by Shi Lei's side and realize her own life's value.
He's already taken in the universally hated Sarkaz as his subordinate, so taking in Lupo to do some dirty work shouldn't be a problem, right?
Lost in thought, a third meteorite fell in the distance. After that, there was no further movement until the clouds gradually dissipated.
Lappland ran all the way, stopping as she passed the Volcini Grand Hotel. She recognized the orange pickup truck parked in the open-air parking lot; the owner was Croissant, the Penguin Logistics Messenger.
Ah, so you live here.
This was not unexpected for her. There were only a few hotels in Volcini, so it wasn't hard to guess.
The question is, should we go up there now and wait for Shi Lei?
Speaking of which, if I'm going to ask him to take me in later, shouldn't I prepare a gift for our first meeting?
Lappland was unfamiliar with Yan etiquette, but in Syracuse, it was customary to offer a gift when asking for a favor. She felt it was somewhat hasty to arrive empty-handed.
But I don't have money to buy a gift right now.
The problem was solved almost instantly, because Saluzzo family was nearby.
No money? No problem. Go back and make a killing.
Lappland turned back and ran away, no longer intending to continue searching for Madam Sicily.
Because the ending was already predetermined.
In Syracuse, the weak who anger the strong usually have only two options: death or submission.
Not long after, Lappland ran back to Saluzzo family.
She ignored the guards on both sides of the main entrance and walked in unreservedly.
"Halt! Who are you?"
Seeing this, a Lupo guard shouted sternly:
"This is the Saluzzo family. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Lappland turned around, sizing up the new face that was berating her. The guard beside her, who had initially intended to turn a blind eye, could only force a smile now that she was involved.
"Is this the new guy?"
"Yes, Eldest Daughter, he just arrived last month."
It is common knowledge among the members of the Saluzzo family that the patriarch, Alberto Saluzzo, has not remarried in recent years.
The only one among his children who is qualified to inherit the family business is the Eldest Daughter Lappland, who betrayed her clan and ran away a few years ago.
No matter how crazy the rebellious Lone Wolf may be, the blood of the Saluzzo family still flows in her veins. Who knows, maybe one day the patriarch will come to his senses and recall Lappland to become the next patriarch.
Furthermore, the news of her single-handedly wiping out the entire Bruno stronghold made most Lupo feel that she had brought honor to the family. Therefore, upon discovering that Lappland had returned, they all tacitly chose to ignore her and pretend not to see her.
Unfortunately, the newcomer ruined it.
Is he home?
The old guard knew the Miss was asking about the clan chief, and replied:
"The master went out after receiving the summons from Madam Sicily and has not returned yet."
Lappland gave an "oh" and walked straight in, only to be stopped in front of the new guard:
"Didn't you leave the family? Why are you back? Please leave, you're not welcome here!"
The next second, she rushed forward with lightning speed, drew her blade, and slit his throat with a single blow.
"Ugh..."
The guard clutched his neck in disbelief, his face contorted in pain for a moment, before collapsing heavily to the ground.
Seeing the blood splattered on her hands and clothes, Lappland looked displeased and quickly wiped her hands with the corpse's clothes.
Although she grew up surrounded by violence and had been exposed to blood at a young age, that sticky, foul smell was anything but elegant to have on her.
Lappland killed so many people at the Bruno family's stronghold, yet remained completely clean. Now, killing just one person leaves him stained with blood, creating a strong sense of unease.
It's like a gorilla that never wears clothes suddenly evolving a sense of shame after living for decades. Or a Lone Wolf that kills as easily as drinking water, suddenly developing an aversion to blood?
This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!
She seemed to realize that there were things she could never go back to.
It seems that it has become the type that can't kill properly without Zhongli's shield.
When Lappland suddenly attacked and killed, the other guards were stunned. Just as they were wondering what to do, an experienced guard signaled for everyone to retreat.
There's no way they can stop them with just a few of them.
Moreover, Eldest Daughter Lappland is currently Alberto's only heir. If he were to fight with all his might to injure her, he might have to risk his life as well.
"If he asks, just answer truthfully."
Lappland tossed out a remark and turned to enter the Saluzzo family mansion. She expertly went to the study, unlocked a safe hidden in the back, and after trying several combinations, found a bag containing a considerable amount of money.
Lappland didn't even glance at the property deeds, lists, or business documents inside. He also left behind the expensive watch, engraved with Alberto Saluzzo's name—no shop in Syracuse would dare take it.
Lappland emptied all the banknotes, hoisted the money bag onto his shoulder, and quickly left the scene.
The familiar oil paintings still adorned the classical corridor. Passing by Lappland's bedroom, she pushed open the door and entered.
The interior is still the same as before.
The layout was exactly the same, everything remained unchanged. Lappland ran a finger across the cabinet and found no dust, indicating that it was regularly cleaned.
Staring at her blood-stained clothes, she put down her purse and picked out a few nice outfits from the wardrobe.
Lappland's Originium was removed from her thigh, so she could wear a skirt without any problem. After changing into a black formal suit, she immediately looked like Eldest Daughter.
She looked at herself in the mirror, a satisfied smile spreading across her face. Afterward, she packed a few more pieces of clothing.
Lappland seemed to possess invisible superpowers, swaggering away from the guards with her money bag on her back.
Later, she went to a very famous watch shop in the Saluzzo family's territory. She chose a fine watch and asked the craftsman to engrave the inscription on the back.
Considering that Shi Lei did not understand Syracuse, he carved a character for "stone" from the Yan and put it in a brocade box.
After preparing his gift, Lappland happily carried the money bag to the Volcini Grand Hotel.
Whether Shi Lei will accept the offer is still unknown. Even if it means being shameless, one must secure a position by the other's side. Otherwise, once he leaves, there will be even less of a chance.
Half an hour later, Lappland walked to the Volcini Grand Hotel. Outside the lobby, she spotted more than a dozen family patriarchs hesitating.
Besides his father Alberto, other family patriarchs such as Rossetti and Bellone were also prominently listed.
Lappland roughly counted, and eleven of the Twelve Families had arrived, except for Ricci, the patriarch of the Gambino family. His family ruled Palermo, which was so close to Volcini, that he should have arrived long ago.
Madam Sicily exchanged a few words with Father Agnil, then went inside and turned left, seemingly to relieve herself.
Alberto quickly spotted his daughter. Seeing Lappland's brand-new suit, he knew she had just returned home. And the bag on her back was bulging, indicating she'd taken a considerable amount of money from the house.
