Chapter 143 What Did You See?

• Adriano stared at the invitation in his hand as if it were a bomb. The thick white envelope bore the gold seal of the Council of Families, and inside, a card embossed with elegant calligraphy spelled out the date and venue of the Annual Gala of the Council.
• Every year, the council organized a gala for the important men and women in the mafia world. This would be the last one Padrino organized before stepping down as Chairman of the council.
