Manhattan Reborn 1978

On the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii.

398 Corudilla Avenue, Honolulu Island.

The bright sunshine approaching noon made Tilda Swinton, who had been up almost all night last night, slowly wake up from her deep sleep ~

She half-opened her eyes and lay on the bed with her head empty for a long time before getting up and walking into the bathroom.

layer.

Butler Aclade stood upright at the junction of the dining room and the kitchen, watching the people lying on the ground quietly with interest.

in the living room.

David tried hard to control his heartbeat, placed the last rectangular domino in his hand, and then said with relief.

"Hey ~ we made it!"

"...Yes~"

Bloomer, Giles, and Polly's children Little Bernice and Little Link, who were sitting behind David, all looked at the dense dominoes on the ground and felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"You...what are you doing?"

Tilda Swinton, who had just finished washing in the room and came down the stairs, saw that she was "surrounded" and asked loudly in surprise.

"Hahaha~"

"look!"

"After nearly three hours of hard work, we only have one final step left!" David smiled and stepped back a little, stood up and smiled at Tilda.

"Just stand there and don't move~ The excitement is about to begin!"

He turned to look at the people behind him and asked with a smile: "Which one of you is coming?"

"Uh..." Giles and Bloomer looked at each other, and very "sensible" gave up this opportunity to little Bernice and little Lindsay, whose eyes were shining.

David smiled, gave them a thumbs up, waved to the two children, and said.

"Come on~"

"You guys come together... okay?"

"it is good!"

Little Bernice pulled her brother behind her, and the two slowly climbed on the floor to the first domino, looking at the neatly arranged dominoes while holding their breath. .

Their little hearts were beating faster and faster, and the little hands they held together stretched out a little hesitantly. .

David sat down on the spot, patted Giles' calf with his hand, looked at the two children quietly with a smile, and pushed the domino. .

"Da, da, da, da, da da da da da da..."

When the two children's fingertips pushed the first domino, the clear and continuous crashing sounds became more and more intensive.

After only thirty seconds, the dominoes that filled the entire living room and the entire restaurant floor all fell down as everyone felt a growing sense of accomplishment~

"Wow~!"

"Hahahaha~"

David screamed a few times, first high-fived his two disabled friends to celebrate, then pulled the two children to kiss him a few times, and asked happily.

"Look, our efforts are not in vain!"

"Ok!"

With a sweet smile on her face, little Bernice took the first domino from her brother, little Lindsay, put it into David's hand, and asked.

"Can we play again?"

"Of course~ You can play as many times as you want."

"But we can only help you once!"

"If you still want to play, you have to do it on your own..."

"...Okay~" Little Bernice blinked, with a faint red color on her fair face, and nodded.

"Hahahaha~"

David glanced at Tilda who was walking on tiptoes, turned to Giles and smiled.

"Look~she really understands!"

"...Yes!" Of course Giles and the two also saw little Bernice's performance.

Bloomer smiled and shook his head with emotion: "She is as smart as her mother... This is so difficult!"

"...Tch~" David sneered, raised a middle finger to him, patted Little Link on the head, stood up and said.

"Let's go~ Let's go have lunch first."

"Wait a minute, Klein and his friends will be coming over."

"ok~"

"Hey..." Tilda had just walked to a few people, and her little hand was suddenly grabbed by David, pulling her towards the restaurant, her head was still a little confused~

Giles patted his butt and stood up from the floor. Seeing David actually holding another girl's hand in front of the children, he couldn't help pouting, wanting to say something. .

Blumer pulled him beside him, raised his eyebrows in a very interesting way, and smiled.

"Let's go, kids!"

"Go and eat first, then come back and play!"

"..oh!"

Little Bernice didn't seem to notice David and Tilda's intimate behavior at all. She pulled her younger brother behind them and tiptoed into the restaurant.

new York.

Evening~

Brooklyn, Brighton Beach.

The Caribbean Club, which was crowded with guests just a few days ago, has now become a place that people avoid. .

The owner of this place, Yevsi Borisovich Agron, the leader of the Bear Country immigrant gang, is standing in an office in the club at the moment, staring at his military advisor Marat Poyezhne Husband, asked in a deep voice.

"Can you say that again!!"

"..." Marat sat on a single sofa, pursed his lips with a dull expression, and whispered.

"You've heard it all~"

"Even if I say it a few more times...does it make sense?"

Agron frowned, walked a step in front of Marat with a gloomy expression, leaned down and asked in a low voice.

"for me?"

"..Um!"

"Hahahaha~"

Agron seemed to have heard the most ironic "joke" and laughed and put his hands behind his back.

"Marat!"

"You can actually become a traitor?"

"No!"

Marat took a deep breath, stood up slowly, looked directly at Agron and said.

"In the Gulag, the war between the Luthieves and Suka has been going on for many years. Hasn't it made you understand the world?"

"...Hmph~" Agron snorted from his nose, squinting his eyes and saying nothing.

Marat took half a step forward and stared into Agron's eyes: "New York... is not Moscow, not St. Petersburg, and certainly not the Gulag Farm!"

"This place is already crowded like a sardine can. There is no room for us to develop."

"The U.S. government treats us immigrants like garbage... and leaves us here to fend for ourselves~"

"Even if you can continue to endure it...but what about your men?"

"Among them...many of them live even worse lives than those who smuggled themselves over from South America..."

"How long can they continue to endure it?"

"What would you do if they were replaced by you?!"

"Going to fight you with a gun? Then, get a reward of a few hundred meters?"

"Hehe~"

Marat looked at Agron's changing expression, took half a step back, turned and walked to the wine cabinet, poured himself half a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it.

"Seven years!"

"I've been waiting for an opportunity since the day we met in Moscow..."

Agron stood there, slowly turning his head to look at Marat, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked.

"Chance?!"

"The opportunity you mentioned... is to let them die?"

"..No!"

"You gave them the gun, not me!"

"..."

Marat put down his wine glass, walked to the coat rack and put on his coat. He turned to look at Agron, waved his hand and said.

"Tonight, I will wait for you at home..."

"You can kill me anytime you want!"

"..."

. . .

Marat, gone.

Agron stared at the closed door, and a smile appeared on his originally gloomy face. .

He walked to the shadow of the window with "relaxed" steps, looked at Marat getting into the car and driving away quickly, and then laughed loudly. .

"Hahahaha~"

Manhattan.

42nd Street, Wildfire Bar.

Black Mike walked into the bar rubbing his hands and saw Mengo, the steel-toothed dog, sitting at the table closest to the door, chatting with the jackal from the security company.

"Hey~ Why are you here?"

The jackal smiled, blew out a puff of smoke at Black Mike, and shrugged.

"Of course it's to make money!"

"I heard that the waiters here receive hefty tips every night..."

"fxxxyou!" Black Mike smiled and cursed at him contemptuously, and found the waiters Madonna and Miranella who were shuttled among the crowd in the bar.

"You came all the way here just for... Polly?"

"Yes~"

Jackal smiled without hesitation: "She is our boss's wife..."

"If something happens to her, who should we go to for money?"

"..." Black Mike rolled his eyes helplessly, leaning his elbows on the table and asked.

"Then where will you stay at night?"

"It turns out that we will live wherever One-Eyed Andres and his friends live."

"Okay~"

Black Mike stood up, waved to Madonna who was passing by, and asked, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"Yes~"

Madonna smiled very excitedly: "Erica, Jin Ji and I all bought the latest swimsuits~"

"Do you want to see?"

"Uh... ok!"

"Hahaha~ What a beautiful thought you have! Stop dreaming~"

"..."

Seeing Black Mike baring his big white teeth, Madonna seemed to want to say something, and immediately turned around and ran to the bar, leaving only a few people with a series of happy laughter~

The jackal rubbed his chin with his hand and asked Mengo, the steel-toothed dog, with a wicked smile on his lips.

"What about you?"

"Are you going with us this time?"

"I'm not going~"

"..?Why?"

Menge, the steel-toothed dog, glanced at Black Mike who was walking towards the door of the bar, shook his head and said.

"I stay in the bar every day and get a good income without doing almost anything."

"Why should I go to Hawaii?" The smile on Jackal's face became a little stiff. .

He asked very puzzledly: "On vacation!"

"Don't you want to go out for a walk? Have some fun?"

"In no mood!"

Mengo, the steel-toothed dog, lit a cigarette for himself, blew out a cloud of smoke at the jackal, and asked with a smile: "What if I lose this job for fun...?"

"Lost..." As soon as Jackal's words came to his lips, he immediately understood that Menge the steel-toothed dog didn't mean everything.

Today's New York lacks everything except people like Mengo who can see the scene. .

Jackal put out the cigarette butt in his hand, patted Menge on the shoulder, nodded and said with a smile: "You know how to find me, right?!"

"Ok!"

"ok~"

"I'm leaving first, man."

"Ok!"

. . .

The jackal is gone too.

Menge, the steel-toothed dog, took a long drag on his cigarette, looked at the incomplete cigarette butt left by the jackal, smiled to himself, and shook off those unrealistic thoughts from his mind.

On the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii.

398 Corudilla Avenue, Honolulu Island.

After having lunch, David welcomed Klein and his friends.

A few days ago, Klein said that he had several friends coming over for vacation and wanted to find an opportunity for everyone to meet and chat.

David didn't think much at the time and agreed directly.

The result. .

In the living room on the first floor.

After listening to Klein's introduction, David looked at the black-haired and dark-eyed Akie Asama a few more times in surprise, and smiled.

"Hello, Davis."

"Hello, David!"

"Hahaha~"

After a brief introduction, David invited a few people to sit down and asked Klein.

"Still the same? Can I get you a non-alcoholic cocktail?"

"Okay~"

"What about you, Davis?"

"what do you want to drink?"

"Anything is fine~"

"Then... let me get you a Hawaiian cocktail?!"

"Okay~" Davis D. Leahy tilted his head and glanced at his girlfriend Asama Akie who was sitting next to him, and smiled politely.

Klein looked at David, who was walking to the bar not far away, and smiled at his friend Davis: "Look, what I said is right~"

"Relax, this kid won't let you down!"

"Yeah!" Davis nodded with a smile and looked at the butler Aclade who was standing not far behind him. His curiosity about this boy David became more intense.
