The arrival of Teresa and Carres was not expected by Li Zaian. He never even thought that the Monoca organization would choose to stand on his side when the situation is still unclear.
To be honest, the closer Monoca organization is far more symbolic than actual benefits to the Morio organization. This drug trafficking organization that always survives in the cracks is too weak, so small that no one will regard it as a real opponent.
But Li Zaian still chose to meet the two, and met them in the villa left by Banoro. He knew very well that more often, the symbolic meaning was also very valuable. As the head of the Monoca organization, Teresa was undoubtedly a bold and smart woman, and her boldness and wisdom were destined to receive excessive rewards.
To Li Zai'an, Teresa is not a stranger. He had met this woman several times before, but the two sides did not have much contact.
The living room on the first floor of the villa is brightly lit, and Lautini, dressed in evening dress, is preparing coffee, red wine and other things.
During this period, Li Zaian deliberately asked her to show up in some public occasions. In addition to letting her attend as the hostess when she was hospitalized, Morio would also let her attend the audience when organizing the middle-level meeting.
This is a means to enhance Lautini's status, and it also establishes her due authority within the Morio organization
As a joint effect, several sisters in Lautini's family can be regarded as one person who has achieved enlightenment and has become a dog.
Although they cannot obtain any power, they can each obtain a bar run by Morio, and all their operating income can be controlled by themselves.
When Teresa and Carris entered the living room under the leadership of LeClose, Li Zaian was already waiting on the sofa in the living room.
Li Zaian looked at the three people coming in, first nodded to Teresa with a smile, and then signaled them to take a seat in front of the sofa, and then asked with a smile: Two, what do you want to drink? I didn't expect the guests to come, so I didn't make any preparations.
You are so kind, Mr. Paul, we'll be fine as we can. Carres just took his seat, and heard this and owed her first, and said with a smile.
Then let’s have coffee. Li Zaan’an was not polite, nodded and said, Lao Ni’s coffee level is still good, you can try it
It will be our honor, Mr. Paul, and it is still Carres who spoke. He said to Lee Zaan'an first, and then nodded to Lautini and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lautini."
The underground world is full of unknown secrets, but sometimes, some news spreads quickly, such as the relationship between Li Zai'an and Lautini, which is almost well-known among several drug trafficking organizations in St. Paul.
Although Li Zaian and Lautini have not held any kind of wedding ceremony, the fact that this woman is the hostess of Morio's organization has been confirmed, so Carris used respectful words to her name.
Lautini was not used to socializing on such occasions. She just smiled shyly and turned around to fiddle with the coffee utensils.
Miss Teresa, Mr. Carres, Li Zai'an took the conversation again, looked at Teresa with a smile, and said, "Before we have a formal conversation, I have a question to verify with you."
Is Mr. Paul trying to ask us whether it means Monoca or Evora? It was the first time Teresa spoke after entering the living room. She guessed before Li Zai'an asked a question.
Li Zaian smiled but said nothing, which confirmed her guess
In fact, there is nothing difficult to guess about this kind of thing. If Li Zaian had no intention of a peace talk with Evora, he would definitely raise this question first to tell whether Theresa and the others were lobbyists.
However, from another perspective, Li Zai'an's affirmative reply also made Teresa understand his attitude in the conflict between Morio and Evora.
Only when Li Zai'an is sure that he will not negotiate with Evora, today's meeting will be meaningful.
That's right, Mr. Paul, although we, Monoca, do not want to be vassals of others. As Monoca's current master, I have no reason to act as messengers for others. Teresa continued, so today, Caris and I came to represent Monoca and have nothing to do with Evora
This is good news for me, Li Zaian smiled and said, "This is how I think about it. Since Miss Teresa did not come on behalf of Evora, then your purpose should be to discuss the alliance with me, right?"
Carres glanced at Theresa, opened his mouth, but said nothing
This kind of thing is not difficult to guess. The fire at the city gate affected the fish pond. The battle between the two major drug trafficking organizations of St. Paul cannot be limited to these two organizations. The remaining several drug trafficking organizations with relatively weak strength must choose to stand at this time.
Either an enemy or a friend, no one can choose a neutral position without bias, and Teresa and the other two chose to visit Li Zai'an at this time. When they entered the Morio slum, they actually made their position to everyone.
That's right, Mr. Paul, this is exactly the purpose of Carris and I coming to visit you today. Teresa didn't hide it and nodded directly and said, "I know that our Monoca's strength is not only impossible to compare with Evora, but even...
Miss Teresa, you may not know me. Before Teresa finished speaking, Li Zaian waved his hand and said, "I am a friend who does not only value strength. How to say it, strength is important, but more importantly, it should be sincerity to be honest about the situation of Monoca. I still have some understanding of your sincerity, and what I don't understand now is your sincerity."
Theresa and Carris obviously didn't expect Li Zai'an to say such a thing. The words they had prepared before were lost for a moment.
According to Teresa's previous thoughts, Li Zaian will definitely refer to the fact that Monoka is too weak. Who would have thought that he would deliberately distract this topic.
The sincerity that Mr. Paul said... Carres was silent for a moment and asked tentatively, what exactly did he mean? Or what did we need to do?
Let me put it this way, Li Zaian lowered his head, organized his thoughts and said, "You may think I have great ambitions, and I will not deny this." However, my ambitions will not be limited to a city in Sao Paulo, and I will not regard Morio too seriously."
I never thought of annexing all other organizations in St. Paul. This is what I want to do in my heart. It is just to establish an order, an order that every organization must abide by and bring benefits to us.
Theresa and Carres looked at each other. They couldn't figure out why Li Zai'an told them this, of course, and didn't know if what he said was true or false.
After I resolve the problem of Evora, I hope to establish a group of leaders of various organizations... Well, how to say it, even if we follow the political game played by politicians, we, the Sao Paulo drug trafficking organizations, have also formed a joint committee. Li Zai'an thought about it for a while, organizing language, and the leaders of each drug trafficking organization have the identity of a committee member. All the conflicts and differences of interests between organizations can be taken to this committee to negotiate and resolve.
Li Zaian continued, any organization has equal voice in this joint committee, regardless of strength or territory. Each organization has a vote of Sao Paulo's underground world. In the future, our organizations will unite to talk together and there is no need to look at anyone's face!
This... Carris seemed to have thought of something, he said hesitantly
I know you don’t understand my thoughts yet, so you still have concerns in your heart. It doesn’t matter. As I said, this is a moment that needs sincerity. I need your sincerity, and of course you will also let you see my sincerity. Li Zaian interrupted him with a smile and said, “The sincerity I give you is that when I solve the Evola organization, you will get the four pieces of territory that were taken away by Evola and the sincerity you need to give me is to support the idea I just proposed.
Take this seriously?! Theresa blurted out her mind without thinking,
As for Carres, his eyes were wide open, his lips slightly open, as if he had seen something incredible
The four plots Li Zai'an mentioned are not four blocks, but the three São Paulo satellite cities owned by the Monaco organization at its heyday, as well as a large part of the southern part of the city.
If Monoca can really re-control these four territories, it means it will no longer be the organization with the lowest strength
Over the years, Teresa has only worked hard for her. Now, the opportunity to achieve her goal is just before her, and all she has to pay is a promise... Why not do it?
To be honest, the closer Monoca organization is far more symbolic than actual benefits to the Morio organization. This drug trafficking organization that always survives in the cracks is too weak, so small that no one will regard it as a real opponent.
