Chapter 196: Chapter 197 Retaliation Fredo, holding a glass of wine, looked around a few gaming tables and finally came to the bar, putting his arm around a waitress’s shoulder. "Life is often boring like this, doing the same thing every day. Gina, how about I take you for a ride?" Fredo said with a smile. The waitress glanced at the boss, "Sorry, boss, I already have a boyfriend." Fredo shook his head sadly, "Would you mind changing one?" "I mind, I have to work now." Gina said and left with a tray to serve drinks. Fredo raised his eyebrows at the woman’s buttocks. After being here for a few months, Fredo actually liked life here, running a casino with no disputes and chaos, occasionally flirting with the waitresses. Fredo felt this was pretty good. At this moment, two men in suits walked into the casino. They saw Fredo sitting at the bar and walked straight over. "Mr. Fredo, we are Mr. Hardy’s bodyguards. Mr. Hardy is outside now and would like you to go out," one of the bodyguards said. Fredo was stunned. Hardy? "Has Hardy come to Las Vegas?" Fredo asked in surprise. Hardy had been in Las Vegas for half a month, but besides meeting the mayor once, he hadn’t shown his face, and everything was handled by his subordinates, so Fredo didn’t know Hardy was here. Hardy’s car was parked across the road. Fredo crossed the road and came to the car. The door opened, and Hardy smiled at Fredo, "Get in the car, I have something to tell you." Hardy had visited the Corleone family several times, especially after helping them through the old Godfather’s assassination crisis. Fredo and Hardy were familiar with each other. Fredo got in the car. "Hardy, why did you come to Las Vegas? By the way, why talk in the car? Let’s go to my casino and sit down. You can also play a few rounds," Fredo said with a smile. Hardy shook his head, his expression becoming much more serious. "Fredo, I received information that the four families are going to deal with you," Hardy said. The smile on Fredo’s face instantly disappeared, turning pale and scared, becoming somewhat flustered. "Is it... is it true? Are they going to.. going to deal with me?" Fredo stuttered. Fredo was timid and fearful. Just hearing the news scared him like this. Hardy thought of his performance in "The Godfather II" and shook his head inwardly. "I called Mr. Vito and told him the situation here. He said to bring you back to New York. At least in the family, there will be more power to protect you," Hardy said. Fredo nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I’ll go pack my things now." He said and was about to get out of the car. However, a number of cars sped by at this very moment and came to a rapid stop at the Corleone family’s casino door. Dozens of strong men jumped out of the cars, each holding a machine gun. "Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat~!" As soon as these guys got out of the car, they opened fire on the casino’s security at the entrance, immediately killing two Corleone family members. Then these people rushed into the casino. Continuous gunfire came from inside the casino, indicating intense firefights. There were also occasional screams from women and men’s cries of pain. One could imagine how tragic it was inside the casino. Fredo was terrified, trembling violently, curling up tightly in the car, not daring to show his head. Hardy frowned deeply. At first, he thought the four families would use assassination, but he didn’t expect them to send so many people to attack directly. Maybe their purpose was not just to kill Fredo but to destroy the Corleone family’s property and influence, damaging the Corleone family’s prestige. Hardy glanced at the casino, still filled with gunfire, and said to the driver, "Go back to the manor." A few hundred meters away, they heard sirens, and a patrol car was rushing towards the Corleone family’s casino. At the manor, Hardy arranged a room for Fredo and said before leaving, "It’s safe here. You sleep here tonight. I’ll arrange a flight for you tomorrow, and you’ll fly back to New York." Fredo was now completely scared and would do whatever Hardy said. "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Hardy." ... In the command room, Lancer, Henry, Matthew, and Neil were all there. Seeing Hardy come in, Henry immediately reported: "Boss, the four families attacked the Corleone family’s casino. When our patrol car arrived, there was a firefight. Due to their large numbers, they finally escaped. We have two wounded members." "What do you think we should do?" Hardy asked, looking at everyone. Lancer said, "Deploy the entire patrol team to search for those gangsters and give them a heavy blow!" "Yes, we must retaliate against anyone who dares to hurt us," Matthew said, clenching his fist. Others also voiced their support for taking action. Hardy, however, shook his head slightly and suddenly smiled, "No rush. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity. Now that it’s here, we should make good use of it." "Henry, call Bill and have him gather 200 people to arrive at the airport by the morning. Make sure the Airplanes brings them over, and don’t forget to bring Alan Payne." "Lancer, inform the police department, and request that they investigate the attackers. Also, allow the patrol team to take action when they see the attackers." "I will notify the Las Vegas police department," Lancer responded. "Also, inform the newspapers and radio stations about what happened tonight. Announce that HD Security will strengthen patrols and will never allow such incidents to happen again. If it does, the response will be severe." Finally, he looked at the others. "Action team, get ready. There’s going to be a big battle tomorrow night. I hope to minimize casualties." "Yes, sir!" the action team leaders responded in unison. Knowing that a major operation was coming, these guys were all excited.
