Lidya Su was really surprised this time.

He originally thought that the priest would ask to meet with Nicola (the priest was in a coma after all and could not know that Nicola had rebelled) or Marcus.

Never would I have imagined that the only person the priest asked to meet would be him.

Lidya Su thought about it carefully.

Although when the priest was in a coma, he had thought about letting Jack take his place.

But the priest was sleeping in this ward, how could he know the news from the outside world?

What's more, he also successfully caused the Clementi family and the Kiryu clan to fight each other.

The forces of the priest were spared.

no matter anymore

After all, I have nothing to feel sorry for the priest.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao calmed down and strode into the priest's ward.

Chapter 1: Jack’s Counterattack (3K)

The priest's hospital room was spotless and pure white.

At the head of the priest's bed, there were several monitoring and life-support equipment.

The priest lay on the bed and looked towards the door.

See Lidya Su coming in.

Then he weakly raised his hand towards him.

Tricked.

"Here you are, Sue."

Su Xiao walked to the priest's bed and asked with concern.

"Father, how do you feel?"

The priest tried to smile.

"It's okay, I can't die."

He patted his side and tried to sit up.

Su Xiao went up to help him sit up, and got him some pillows to support his back.

"Tell me about what's going on in the streets."

He's more than welcome.

That attitude is like that of an elder in the family.

So Su Xiao told everything that happened since the priest was admitted to the hospital.

of course.

It can be revealed that he is instigating a dispute between the Kiryu-gumi and the Clementi family;

As for the assassination of the leader of the Juan family, this cannot be revealed under any circumstances.

Some things can be done but not said.

Even if others suspect that you did it, you can never admit it unless you have proof.

Lidya Su can still tell the difference.

The priest grinned.

"So, now my men all listen to Jack."

Su Xiao half-jokingly said: "Almost, if you stay in the hospital for a few more months, everything will be stolen when you get home."

The priest smiled dryly.

Then he coughed violently.

"Father?" Su Xiao looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine. Besides, why are you worried? Wouldn't my death fulfill your wish?"

Lidya Su rolled his eyes at him.

"What are you talking about? Who do you think I am? If you die, I will definitely let Jack take over all your territory and subordinates without mercy. But if you are not dead, I certainly won't be happy. You’re not dead.”

A look of relief appeared on the priest's face.

"Yes, yes, I finally know why Jack, V and others are willing to follow you wholeheartedly."

"It's just that, have you ever thought about it, if I am completely recovered and discharged from the hospital, then all the things you have done to help Jack become a leader will be in vain."

Lidya Su looked indifferent.

"It can't be said that it was in vain. The two of us have cooperated so happily. I can't let your power be swallowed up by others, right? However, if I were you, I could also consider the issue of the successor."

The priest raised his eyebrows: "Are you trying to repay a favor?"

"How can this be said to be repaying a favor? What? You don't want to say that you have never thought about your life after retirement, right? Do you really want to fight and kill for the rest of your life?"

Gangster bosses may be one of the few professions in the world for which retirement is most desirable and least possible.

Many gangsters have gray hair, but they continue to work. Why?

Of course, this is not about "doing what you do and loving what you do", but that they cannot quit.

Coming out and mixing, sooner or later I have to pay it back.

Working for a big boss is a great job on the surface, but it's extremely dangerous behind the scenes.

I don’t know how many people are watching your every move.

Your friends, your men, and your enemies.

Think about it.

Sitting in the position of priest, how many people has he offended?How many people wanted him to die immediately?

When you still have power, your enemies may still be wary of taking action.

Once you retire, sooner or later your enemies will find you.

Because you are retired and have no power.

It becomes no different from ordinary people.

Looking at Lidya Su, the priest let out a long sigh.

"Jack was born into a very unfortunate family. I used to lament why the Lord targeted Jack like this. Now I know it's because he used his luck in friendship. Jack is lucky to have a brother like you."

"That's right. If it were Jack, he would repay me."

The priest thought for a long time and finally said.

"Okay, after I am discharged from the hospital, I will examine him carefully to see if he is suitable to become an intermediary. You know, doing this line of work requires some talent, and Jack, he still has to learn. There are many.”

Lidya Su was a little surprised.

Can't help but doubt my ears.

"You agreed? So simply? No conditions? I thought..."

Seeing Su Xiao, a kid who was too smart for his age, finally showed this expression, which made the priest feel proud of winning back a victory, and he couldn't help but say happily.

"What do you think? That I will be angry? That I will be furious? That I will tremble at your attempt to usurp power? If you think so, you are totally wrong. I, Sebastian Ybarra, am not that Raise people.”

……

Jack, Marcus and others waited outside the ward for a long time.

Finally, he finally saw Lidya Su coming out of it.

Marcus has

I wanted to go in and talk to the priest.

But the doctor’s orders came to mind.

Finally, I didn't go in.

But Jack couldn't wait to ask: "What did the priest tell you, brother?"

Lidya Su smiled and patted Jack's shoulder.

"The priest asked you to work hard. During his absence, his men will be under your command."

Jack didn't react yet.

Marcus was already looking at Jack with a mixture of surprise, excitement and shock.
