Chapter 58 - 056 Plans For Vegas
"Cossa, I am certain of your ability. So, you can choose to stay in Sicily and continue to enjoy life as a family manager…"
"Or, co with to North Arica, where there will be more opportunities. " ??
As soon as Luke finished, he looked at him as if he were resting and waiting for an answer.
Alessandro's eyes wavered as he considered the situation.
There were no words to the hotel, but he was reluctant to make a decision.
"General, it is a great honor for to follow you!"
Luke stepped out of the limo and smiled, saying nothing more.
…
Luke returned to New York with the Howling Commandos, this ti without living in the old house in Brooklyn.
Instead, he was greeted by a high-ranking official and moved into a luxurious room of a hotel.
This is the world's first skyscraper hotel and has a rich history.
At the ti of its construction, President Hoover made a morable speech in the Cabinet Office of the White House to congratulate.
As he said, the Waldorf Astoria is a benchmark in New York, a constant favorite of dignitaries, and a witness to many historic and important events.
At the end of World War II, the representatives of the four victorious powers -- the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union -- signed the World Peace Agreent in a suite room in its towers.
The tower has been ho to the King of Monaco, Queen Elizabeth I and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Today, like many celebrities, Luke has the privilege of staying in a tower suite at the Waldorf Astoria.
"This is really …"
Malèna looks up at the bright crystal chandeliers and the luxurious furnishings as if she has fallen into a dream.
It never occurred to her that she would be able to live in a place like this one day, coming from the Sicilian countryside.
The happiness ca so suddenly that Malèna couldn't believe it.
Moreover, no man would stare at her with undisguised greed now.
All this because she was Luke's lover.
Power and status provided shelter to a poor woman whose fate was supposed to be miserable.
"You can stay here for the ti being, and Cossa will keep you safe. "
Luke leans back onto the soft sofa, and Malèna sits on his lap.
Alessandro took about 300 people with him and followed them from Sicily to the strange continent of North Arica.
Their compatriots have already made a na for themselves, visiting all sorts of high-profile venues, eting politicians and Hollywood stars.
"I never believed in gangsters, but sotis they can do your dirty work for you. The Mafia, who had co across the sea to the United States, had no one else to turn to. So, they had to cling to as their supporter. "
Luke sniffed at the scent of the alluring woman's hair and said lazily.
He is now a Brigadier General, and, having defeated the Axis and Hydra, he may beco the youngest Major General in the United Nations' history.
But status is not everything. It needs to be supported by money, connections, and well-established interests.
The Mafia could be a cornerstone of this particular period.
Luke had his sights set on Las Vegas, Nevada, a gold mine that could be mined.
In the early years of the Great Depression, the Nevada legislature passed a bill to legalize gambling to stimulate the economy and tide the country.
Since then, Las Vegas has beco a city, but not as well-known as later generations.
Luke, a forr mber of the Irish mob, didn't want to get into the lucrative business of smuggling and drugs.
That would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and in the end, it might even turn out to be an embarrassing situation where he would have to keep wiping the Mafia's ass.
Gambling, hotels, and the security industry in Las Vegas were areas where the Mafia would compete.
Taking advantage of the fact that the city hasn't developed, he should get involved. First, it should be a pleasant surprise.
In the original tiline, Las Vegas was originally built by Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel, an Arican mobster, who raised six million dollars to build the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, which attracted tycoons from all over the world.
"You can always see the bigger picture."
Malèna said adoringly. A mont later, she was lowered onto the sofa.
Her black, wavy hair spreads out like a lotus flower, and her beautiful face tinged with a hint of blush.
"It's still light out … "
Malèna said faintly.
"Don't get wrong. I just thought the sofa was very soft and wanted to test the quality. "
Luke's words were soft, but his hands moved nimbly.
Later, people heard faint car-honking-like sounds through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.
