Chapter 3 The Return Of The King

• Lucius and his Uncle Lecio went to the Drunkard's Bar Lounge.
• The bartender poured two glasses of whiskey and placed them on the bar.
• "Lucius. Uncle has seen how well you've done for the better part of a year. You are a born leader, and the Vito family will surely flourish in your hands."
• Lucius humbly said, "It's all because uncle's previous foundation is good, the brothers will work so hard."
• Leccio picked up his wine glass and took a sip, and said in a clichéd manner, "You are the heir of the Vito family, uncle is getting older, and it's time for him to let go and let you take over the family's business."
• Lucius, who had no interest in this, gripped his glass and shrugged, "No, no ...... uncle is in his prime, and I hope that uncle can continue to manage the family business. The flour business is just a start, but I want to do proper business ......"
• "Proper business? A stock trader?"
• Lucius didn't answer positively, but Leccio guessed what he was really thinking.
• Uncle and nephew finished their glasses of whiskey in silence and Lucius was the first to speak, "Uncle, I want to go back to Gotham City. I'm thinking of getting up where I fell."
• Knowing that Lucius' ambition was higher than the sky, and that his own flour mill could not tether him as a descending tiger, Leccio simply went along with what he wanted to do.
• "When you get to Gotham, you go to the head of the Capone family, Lil Capone. He used to be a dead ringer for me, mention my name and he'll take care of you."
• Finding a pen and paper from the bar, Lysio quickly wrote down a string of phone numbers and signaled the bartender for a refill.
• Lifting his glass, Lysio verbosely admonished, "Remember, don't worry about the momentary gains and losses, you have to learn to keep your head down first if you want to succeed."
• Lucius remained humble, "I will, uncle."
• "I wish you success in advance, my son."
• "To the great Vito family."
• ......
• After saying goodbye to his Uncle Leccio, Lucius boarded a flight back to Gotham City.
• The plane landed at nightfall.
• He was greeted by his best friend, Ryan Bob, in a convertible sports car.
• As soon as they met, the two men exchanged insults.
• "Skinny sparrow brother, it's been a while, you seem to have gotten a lot whiter, like a little white boy."
• "Let's see if my fat ball of the best detractor can't fasten the waistband of his pants anymore."
• Ryan meatily offered to open his arms in a shallow hug, "Your mouth is still so poisonous, I want to poison you."
• "Same with each other."
• The two laughed as they got into the sports car.
• Arriving at Ryan's rented apartment, Lucius set down his bags and sat down wearily on the couch.
• Ryan took a heartbreaking look at the somewhat haggard Lucius, and casually brought two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator.
• "Have a drink to lift your spirits, I'll have to talk to you all night later."
• Lucius took the cold beers and laughed to himself, "I'm a damned laborer, you're an evil capitalist."
• Walking to the kitchenette, Ryan was chopping up onions and cooking pasta while tears streamed down his face.
• "You know what? The whole time you were in the accident, my whole body felt like the sky was going to fall ...... After hearing the news that you were still alive, I actually cried like a pussy. I opened a bottle of champagne that night to celebrate, I was so happy for you and thanked God for not taking my bestest brother."
• Lucius got up and approached, jokingly saying, "The onions are so choked up, and a big man with tears in his eyes, shame on you."
• Putting down the chopper, Ryan picks up his beer and clinks glasses with Lucius.
• The pasta was ready to come out of the pot and Lucius stepped in to help.
• Sitting around the table, Ryan shelled the boiled Boston baby green dragon and put it on Lucius' dinner plate.
• "Knew you'd like this one, made a special reservation."
• "I'm really too daring to move, I'd love to reward you with a big bob."
• The cold beer finished, Ryan got up to fetch it again.
• After three rounds of drinks and a cigarette smoking Ryan stormed out, "I heard all about you and Daisy! I can't imagine she's a woman like that! Now that you're back, as your good brother, I'll help you out!"
• Lucius' eyes were suddenly filled with a murderous aura after hearing Daisy's name.
• When he thought of her betrayal of himself and Robert's brutality, the anger in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
• Taking the cold beer Ryan handed him, Lucius took a few sharp gulps.
• "For the time being, there's no hurry to seek revenge on that pair of dogs, when the time is ripe, I'm going to get it back with interest all at once!"
• "Alright bro, whatever you're going to do, I'll support you unconditionally."
• Drinking his beer, Ryan brought several business plans made in advance for Lucius to go over.
• After some deliberation, Lucius gave up the traditional industry model and chose the fastest money coming financial industry.
• After a night of long talks, to establish the company's future development direction.
• Lucius also gave the new company the name 'Singularity Group', which is intended to attack the unexpected and win by surprise.
• The next day, Leccio received a telegram from Lucius, and immediately brought half of the flour mill's capital to invest in the Wall Street Singularity Group and the Cayman Islands Vito Investment, Vito Bank three companies.
• More than a month, Singularity Group's emergence out of nowhere made every major financial institution on Wall Street pay attention.
• In just a few months, the Singularity Group's investment department took shape, and the funds that could be manipulated amounted to tens of millions of dollars!
• This allowed Singularity Group to make a name for itself on Wall Street.
• Ryan brought the freshly prepared financial statements to Lucius' presidential office.
• Lucius handed Ryan a cigar and flipped through the financial statement, "Let me guess how much money we made again this month?"
• "Compared to last month, your personal performance has exceeded the combined earnings of the entire company. I really want to pry open your brain for a good look and see what kind of brain circuits you have."
• Lighting his cigar, Ryan's eyes were full of admiration for Lucius.
• Flicking the ashes, Lucius smiled and took out two piles of bills from the drawer and handed them to Ryan.
• "Don't be a nymphomaniac, I don't like getting laid with men."
• "Pfft~"
• Ryan laughed badly, "I really wish I was a woman, then I could firmly hold your thighs and make you sing night after night."
• "No no ...... if you're a woman, I can't afford to have one of you."
• "Deadbeat, nettlesome."
• Amidst the laughter, Ryan unintentionally glanced at a fashion magazine sitting on the table.
• The cover happened to be the fashion brand that Daisy endorsed, and stopped laughing for a moment.
• Lucius noticed Ryan's gaze and said with a smile, "There's a masquerade ball at the Blue Star Hotel on Sunday, and it's rumored that the spokesperson and CEO of the fashion brand will be in attendance."
• "You've been back for so long and you've been keeping a low profile to hide yourself. If you go to this ball, I'm afraid you'll ......"
• "Ryan, I know what you're worried about. It's just a masquerade ball and I'll be attending in a masquerade."
• Looking at Lucius with a certainty, Ryan was a little apprehensive.
• When old lovers were meeting, there were only two outcomes; either old feelings were rekindled or they tortured each other.
• Obviously not the former, after all, Daisy's betrayal was fatal in the first place.
• With Lucius' vindictive personality, the good times must still be ahead.
• "If you have to attend this event, bring more bodyguards around just in case."
• "Long-winded, you're really becoming more and more like a preachy old priest. Count me as scared of you, let's go, let's take this money and go in style."
• Picking up the collar of his suit that was resting on the back of his chair, Lucius tucked away the two piles of bills on the table and pulled Ryan away.
• The clock on the table ticked forward ......
