468: Chapter 467: Looking Forward 468: Chapter 467: Looking Forward After ten years of not knowing the taste of at, Luciano and Alfredo skill desperately had their way with two fallen won, and then they each lay down on the bed and started smoking.
“This guy’s really cool, you’ve got a great brother there!” Alfredo skill smacked his lips, puffing on a cigarette and sipping a drink.
“Lao Xu, Yusuf Zuck, the three of us will play big, closer than real brothers.”
“Yusuf Zuck is the bro you’re talking about?
You listen to him, huh?” Alfredo skill asked with a chuckle.
“Used to listen to him, he has lots of ideas, bad ones included, cunning too, but he’s got a sense of proportion in everything, very steady.”
“So, are we going to hang with him or Lao Xu in the future?
I feel Lao Xu is not bad, driving a car worth over a million, rich and generous.”
“Lao Xu is in legitimate business now, we would just be a burden to him, let’s see how my brother arranges it.”
“Although we’ve been locked up these past few years, we didn’t do it for nothing, the old man taught us all he knew, so I still want to make sothing of myself!”
“Let’s just follow my brother’s plans,” Luciano said, a man of few words, he seed impatient after saying just a few sentences.
Lao Xu brought back new underwear and a very fashionable coat, the watch wasn’t expensive, a thousand or eight hundred yuan, but the phones were all iPhones.
“Here’s a wallet for each of you, with ten thousand yuan inside, buy whatever you like with it in the future.” Lao Xu was very generous, he didn’t care about that amount of money.
“Bro Xu, nothing more to say, from now on, you point and I’ll hit!” Alfredo skill declared, thumping his chest.
“Don’t be so polite, let’s go, let’s head ho.” The three of them left the bath center and soon returned to the old house.
Yusuf Zuck actually wasn’t that drunk, but he really didn’t go to pick up Luciano.
After Lao Xu brought Luciano and Alfredo skill back, Yusuf Zuck hugged Luciano and was introduced to Alfredo skill.
Alfredo skill knew Luciano held a lot of respect for Yusuf Zuck, so he beca more respectful, not as casual as he was with Lao Xu.
“Did you learn this in prison?” After everyone was seated, Yusuf Zuck looked over Luciano and Alfredo skill and asked a seemingly senseless question.
Alfredo skill was shocked, and Luciano’s eyebrows shot up.
Yusuf Zuck’s question was really unexpected for them.
“You can tell?” Luciano asked, surprised.
“Isn’t it Neijiaquan?
Late-stage initiation, about to reach the Grandmaster level, quite impressive.
They teach this in the slamr now?” Yusuf Zuck was also incredibly shocked inside.
When he saw Luciano and Alfredo skill, he couldn’t believe that two guys who’d just gotten out of jail could be Neijiaquan fighters?
“Big Brother Zhang, you’re amazing, I’m impressed!” Alfredo skill raised his thumb in admiration.
Luciano thought for a mont, then explained, “In prison, there was an old-tir whose Achilles tendons were cut by soone and who also had cataracts, so he was blind.
skill and I took good care of him, and later he started teaching us Qigong.”
“Good deal, these years in the joint weren’t wasted!” Yusuf Zuck patted Luciano’s shoulder and then turned to look at Alfredo skill.
This guy, you couldn’t tell how he spent his ti in the joint, his face looked paler and fatter.
“You got any family at ho?” Yusuf Zuck asked him.
“Dead people!” Alfredo skill replied imdiately.
With that, Lao Xu, who was drinking water on the side, spat out his drink.
Alfredo skill had a sense of humor too.
“Little Chicken, I might go abroad for a year or two, you want to co with ?
If you don’t, I’ll have Lao Xu take care of you guys,” Yusuf Zuck said to them.
With a grin, Luciano said, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”
“And you?” Yusuf Zuck looked at Alfredo skill.
“Wherever Luciano goes, I go,” Alfredo skill pointed to Luciano and said.
“Alright then, Old Xu, get the car ready.
Let’s go pay our respects at Grandma’s grave,” Yusuf Zuck stood up, knowing Luciano would follow him.
And he had gained another ally.
Alfredo skill seed like soone adaptable, not the type to wear his heart on his sleeve like Luciano.
Luciano nodded gratefully.
During his ti inside, it had been Yusuf Zuck and Old Xu who took care of his grandmother’s affairs after she passed away.
The first thing Yusuf Zuck did when he saw him was to take him to pay respects at his grandmother’s grave.
It was this composure that made Yusuf Zuck so respected, one of the reasons Luciano looked up to him.
Luciano’s grandmother’s burial site was on the outskirts, not in any formal cetery but a commoners’ burial hill, where ordinary folk buried their dead.
This area alone might contain thousands of graves.
The four of them bought paper offerings, incense, and fruits, and each of them bowed their heads to the ground.
Luciano’s grandmother was like their own; Yusuf Zuck and Old Xu often went to Luciano’s ho to share als when the elderly lady was still alive.
Luciano’s eyes were slightly red, but he said nothing.
Alfredo skill’s eyes also reddened, triggered by Luciano’s emotion.
It seed that the two had forged a deep bond during their years spent together inside.
Many cities in Shandong are by the sea, with nurous international ferries entering and leaving the ports daily.
Old Xu hadn’t found a smuggler, no one to help them stow away, but he had heard about a cargo ship bound for San Francisco, with only a captain and sailors abroad.
Thus, Yusuf Zuck, Luciano, and Alfredo skill, after Old Xu gathered plenty of compressed biscuits, canned food, and water, snuck onto the cargo ship that night and squeezed into a shipping container.
Inside the container were tires.
The country had beco a manufacturing giant, leading the world in tire sales.
The three of them cleared so space and sat quietly, waiting for the ship to set sail.
About a day later, the whistle blew, and the liner finally embarked on its voyage.
“Bro, once we’re overseas, we won’t understand the language.
What are we going to do?” Alfredo skill, now also calling Yusuf Zuck “bro” like Luciano did, was worried about surviving in a foreign land.
He actually didn’t want to go, as he had been released from prison and could lead a normal life back ho.
But since Luciano was set on going, he felt compelled to follow.
Luciano, too, looked at Yusuf Zuck, equally uncertain about what they would do abroad and worried about their future fate!
“Don’t worry, I’ve set up sothing in xico and the United States…
a gang, of sorts, but there are also legitimate businesses.
You can do whatever you like when we get there.
Don’t worry about money; if I make it, you’ll have it to spend!”
“Damn, really?
Bro, are you serious?
There are mafias in the United States?” Alfredo skill imdiately perked up, enamored with the idea.
“Sothing like that, a few hundred people, and yes, involved in so…
illegal activities!” Yusuf Zuck shrugged.
“This is great, this is great.
Bro, you’re a man who does big things.
From now on, I’m with you!” Alfredo skill nodded vigorously.
He had been fretting about having nowhere to apply his talents but now was thrilled to have the opportunity to make his mark abroad.
Luciano too, began to smile.
This was the kind of work he liked!
“Alfredo, what did you get locked up for?” Yusuf Zuck curiously looked at Alfredo, who didn’t seem very old, maybe around twenty-four or twenty-five.
“Murder,” Alfredo shrugged.
“I wasn’t yet sixteen back then, and there were folks from my village pleading on my behalf, so the sentence wasn’t too harsh—no death penalty, no life sentence.”
“He offed his stepfather,” Luciano chid in with a grin.
“Let’s not dwell on the past.
From now on, we look forward!” Yusuf Zuck patted Alfredo on the shoulder.
