Chapter 529: Anthony and Little Seven 10
They dumplings were cooked and smelled very fragrant by the time Anthony ended the call. Anthony was not good in making the dumplings but the fillings were fragrant, but…
The pot of dumplings looked disastrous.
Anthony was new at making it and he did not fold the sides of the dumplings properly. Therefore, the fillings came out when it was being cooked, making the pot of clear soup become meat soup. There were a lot of dumpling skins floating in the soap.
Anthony saw Eleven looking at the pot of dumplings in a speechless manner when he came out of the room. He thought that something had happened and went to take a look. He coughed lightly and finally knew why people liked to cough a few times out of the blue.
“The skin is too thin, it’s not my fault.” Anthony immediately reb.u.t.ted and looked at Eleven in an innocent manner.
Eleven shrugged the corner of her lips and teased him. “Did I say anything? Clumsy denial results in self-exposure.”
Anthony harrumphed. “I’m just saying the truth. The skin is so thin and will melt once cooked, how is it my fault?”
He stared at the dumplings in the pot ruthlessly.
It’s all your fault!
“You’re so childish.”
Why did the dumplings she made not fall apart? Could it be that the dumplings selectively despised him?
Anthony felt gloomy as he wanted to do well, in the end… it ended up like this. He had a sudden change of thought. “You are better than me at cooking dumplings and I’m sure there is a dish where I can cook it better than you. I will make it for you at night.”
“I will be full at night if I eat the dumplings now.”
“We can eat supper!”
Eleven was speechless…
She felt funny looking at Anthony’s confident face and thought that he was cute. Did he really cared that much? It seemed like this man’s confidence could not be trampled. She agreed to him casually and he smiled. Eleven smiled but did not say anything.
Eleven split the dumplings into two portion as she wanted to eat a more bland meal while Anthony wanted to add more seasoning. He watched as the plump dumplings were split into two portions and so were those failed products. He contemplated for a while and said. “Little Seven, you eat those good ones and leave the bad ones for me.”
She side-glanced him and curled up the corner of her lips. “Is there a need to separate it into such a clear line? Do you just want to eat the dumpling skin?”
“I’m scared that you are not full just by eating these.”
Eleven paused and laughed lightly, “Stupid!”
Anthony took a portion of the dumplings for her and put a lot of chilli and seasoning for his own portion. It looked vastly different from that of Eleven’s. Eleven ate one mouthful and felt that the taste was good as Anthony was good at making the fillings.
“By the way, I thought of something. How about you call your friends and ask them to clear the road, it should not be a difficult task.” Eleven said. She would usually bring along her communicator when she went out, but she wanted to go out and relax this time round. Ye Wei was not with her and her mood was not good, therefore she did not want to be interrupted and did not bring the communicator with her. Mrs. Kurt’s phone could only be used to call the people living nearby and could not call out, therefore she could only rely on Anthony’s phone.
“You were sick yesterday and I asked people to clear the road as I was afraid that you will get more sick. But, they just called to say that the snow was too big and it was too dangerous to clear the road as the road was cordoned off and they cannot even walk in. They can only clear after the snow has stopped.” Anthony lied without changing his expressions or even batting an eyelid. He did not prepare this lie beforehand yet he could say it so naturally, showing how he must had been used to doing this.
“How is it impossible to clear?” Eleven felt puzzled.
“The snow is too big and the roads are too slippery. It is dangerous as the car might flip.” Anthony said.
Eleven thought about about how there is a Top Terrorist Organization stronghold in Eastern Europe, and it should not be a problem for Chu Li to get people to clear the road. “Lend me your phone.”
Anthony paused and drank a spoon of soup. “Sure, please wait a while.”
He went into the room calmly and casually, as if it did not matter. Once he closed the door, Anthony quickly turned on his phone and took out the battery and took out another battery from the drawer before putting it in the phone. He put the working battery back into the bottom drawer and hid the charger. In order to make sure that everything was alright, he even tried it to make sure that the battery was not working before bringing out his phone.
“Her it is!” Anthony returned to his seat and continued to eat the dumplings and did not even looked up. Eleven pressed a few b.u.t.tons and looked at Anthony. She thought that the phone was not turned on and pressed the start b.u.t.ton, but it did not turned on.
“Anthony, why is it not responding?”
“Is it? It can’t be, I was using it to call just now.” Anthony took over the phone and pressed a few b.u.t.tons and looked shock. “Aiya, it has run out of battery.”
He looked at Eleven in a sorry manner and she shrugged. “Forget it.”
Anthony put his phone to a side and continued to eat the dumplings, but he was secretly laughing in his mind. He realized that she was gullible and she would not suspect whatever the people that she trusted said.
She had a pure personality, and her cold-looking face in the past was just a facade. He really suspected how she could survive for so many years and be at the top. How did she escape from all the plot against her?
Or was it that Ye Wei was really too smart and protected her well by clearing every obstacle. Therefore, Eleven could be what she was now.
She was like a transparent person that showed everything clearly to you. You could tell whether she was good or bad easily and she was like a bright pearl without any defects.
People like them would lose their pureness after a while, but she did not.
It was a miracle.
“Why are you staring at me?”
“I realize that Little Seven is beautiful.” Anthony said lightly. She was beautiful from the inside out and it was not because she was the apple of his eye. He was not the type of blind people that would think everything about her was good just because he liked her. He just felt that she was really good.
Meng Lianling never gave him that kind of impression.
“How many girls have you coaxed like this?” Eleven’s face was not red and her heart was not thumping. She bantered and brushed his words aside naturally.
“One.”
“Should I feel honored?”
“No, it’s my honor.”
“Anthony, you’re really an expert in flirting, even Third Young Master Ye would lose to you.” Eleven smiled and did not care about his focused gaze. She just continued eating the dumplings.
“I think I will take that as a compliment.”
Eleven was speechless…
She could not help but murmured that he was thick-skinned!
Anthony’s ears were sharp and heard her, but he smiled and did not say anything.
Italy, Sicily Island.
After the black mafia’s headquarter was destroyed by Third Young Master Ye, it was now being rebuilt and the construction work was done day and night. Luckily, Third Young Master Ye did not go too ruthless on them and there was not a lot of destroyed houses and they just needed to do some renovation.
As of now most of the buildings had regained their original design and there was only some left that needed to be rebuilt.
Mo Jue and Ye Wei were both in Italy and was originally supposed to be on the small island. But, there were a few high-ranking officials in the Italy government that wanted to meet the Mo brothers and they kept pestering them. Therefore, Mo Jue could only bring Ye Wei to Italy.
The Mafia and Italy’s government were closely linked and had been like this for all the generations. Without the Italy government’s help, the mafia would not be able to grow stronger and become one of the biggest three underworld power in the world.
Although on the surface there was a clear distinction between the mafia and the Italy government, but it was just a show. They had a close relations.h.i.+p as the government needed the black mafia’s power in the underworld to help them do illegal things and also needed the mafia’s capital. Meanwhile, the mafia needed the government to help them clear any obstacles in the country.
Especially those officials that were joining the elections needed the help of the mafia secretly.
It was like the relations.h.i.+p between officials all over the world and the local arms dealer as they acted in one way in public but another way secretly. Such a big thing happened to the mafia this time round yet Mo Ye had a carefree att.i.tude. The mafia was slowly being threatened by the The Top Terrorist Organization and almost lost their headquarter. Therefore, the Italy government was very worried as they were afraid of losing the strong support of the mafia.
No matter how arrogant Mo brothers were, they still respected these officials. Louis was dictated by one faction of the high-ranking officials in the past and those people wanted to control the mafia when the Mo brothers were in power and tried to make them as obedient as Louis. But, they were afraid of Big Boss Mo’s power and arrogant att.i.tude. Although Big Boss Mo had already been reserved, but these officials still felt that he was arrogant and rude.
They tried to train a new mafia G.o.dfather to replace Mo Ye. But, Mo Ye found out about it early and stopped these officials from continuing their plan from an early stage.
He was ruthless and killed two of the leaders in order to punish them as an example to scare others. They were suppressed by Mo Ye because of this and realized that this G.o.dfather was different from Louis.
He would not be dictated by them.
But, the upheaval was too big this time as the mafia almost lost all the fights with The Top Terrorist Organization. They were suppressed by The Top Terrorist Organization in terms of arms, casinos and even smuggling businesses.
Moreover, it resulted in a substantial lost and they were worried. Although they wanted an obedient G.o.dfather, but compared to the disappearance of the mafia, they knew how to give and take.
They kept pestering the Mo brothers and Mo Jue felt annoyed too.
Mo Ye left after he had recovered and did not say where he had gone. Mo Jue knew that he had went to Eastern Europe, but Meng Lianying did not know. She looked for him crazily after Mo Ye was gone and would naturally come and annoy Mo Jue.
She would disturb Mo Jue for twenty-five hours a day and asked him where Mo Ye was.
Mo Ye told him not to expose where he was and Mo Jue would naturally not tell Meng Lianying. Meng Lianying threatened Mo Jue that if he did not tell her where Mo Ye was, she would tell Ye Wei the truth.
Mo Jue was angry and worried and finally felt it was a taboo. Therefore, he decided to bring Ye Wei to Italy so that he could settle the matters regarding the mafia and could avoid Meng Lianying.
“Seriously, you could have just told her.” Ye Wei rolled her eyes at him and sald coldly. “Why do you need to meddle with their business?”
“My brother told me not to tell her.”
Ye Wei shrugged her shoulders. “You can hug your brother forever since you are so obedient.”
Mo Jue’s eyes darkened and it seemed like he was about to swallow her. Ye Wei smiled seductively and did not cared about Mo Jue’s anger as he would not do anything to her even if he was angry.
He just looked scary.
“This place is only a thousand kilometres away from Russia and can reach within an hour. Just tell her the truth if she comes here so that I won’t have to see her bitter face every day.”
The sceneries in Italy was really beautiful and she really wanted to have a walk outside. But…
Mo Jue beauty would not allow her to go out by herself as he was afraid that she would run away and not come back. Mo Jue had to meet more than ten high-ranking officials at night and the schedule and location was fixed.
But he did not know if they simply wanted to discuss about the future of the mafia or did they wanted to kill him so that they could elect a new G.o.dfather. Therefore, Mo Jue had to be well-prepared.
Ye Wei naturally knew about it but she just wanted to go out and walk around. She had to accompany Mo Jue to the place tonight and it would be best if they could discuss about it peacefully. But if they had to resort to violence, she would be worried since they were the government officials and had a lot of backing.
Ye Wei looked at Mo Jue’s face and bantered. “Mo Jue beauty, how are you going to act like Mo Ye?”
She felt that Mo Ye and Mo Jue gave off very different vibes. Mo Jue felt eerie and Mo Ye was extremely cold. Although both of them spoke very little, their aura was different.
Mo Ye was always in charge of the mafia’s diplomatic matters and Mo Jue was in charge of those dirty matters. Therefore, the two brothers had very different methods of settling issues.
Mo Ye had much better endurance than Mo Jue.
Mo Jue beauty would immediately kill someone if they said something unpleasant while Mo Ye would listen with a cold face and pretend that he was enjoying the breeze. But, he would remember the person secretly and deal with them next time.
Mo Jue was not skilled in settling such things and this was why Ye Wei was worried. They would definitely say unpleasant things and she was afraid that Mo Jue would do as he wish and offend everyone.
“What’s so difficult, I just have to wear contact lens.” Mo Jue did not think that it would be difficult and Ye Wei rolled her eyes. “Although I don’t like Mo Ye, but Mo Jue beauty, I would have gone out to play if you had the endurance level of Big Boss Mo.”
