Chapter 75

People are strange creatures. After exerting all their efforts to reach the pinnacle of power, they begin to yearn for the simple, water-like life they once had. Carlo Gambino was no exception.

He had schemed and struggled through the treacherous world of politics and crime to climb to the top, paying a heavy price. He couldn't even remember the last time he had a meal with his children. Once he stepped onto this path, many enemies and the police were always watching him. One misstep could bring disaster to his family. His wife and girlfriend, An, were brutally killed by his enemies. At the age of fifty, Carlo Gambino gave up all his businesses in New York and retired to Switzerland.

In the eyes of the public, Carlo Gambino retreated to Switzerland because he couldn't bear the loss of his two beloved women. However, that wasn't the case. Could Carlo Gambino really let go of his power? Once someone tasted the pleasure of power, it was hard to let go. Carlo Gambino could so confidently hand over his business to his subordinates and retreat to Switzerland only to avoid 'D-Zone.'

Carlo Gambino was a German-Italian mixed-blood. The slight German bloodline in him awakened his psychic abilities. By now, his psychic ability had reached the S-level. Psychic ability users were extremely rare, and it was hard to find one among thousands. Moreover, it was very difficult for psychic ability users to improve their abilities. What was the hardest thing to grasp in the world? It was the human heart. Once you grasped the human heart, you could create a world. Psychic abilities not only grasped the human heart but also controlled it. With such control, extraordinary ambitions naturally emerged, and it wouldn't be long before they brought disaster to the world.

Therefore, psychic ability users became a taboo for major ability organizations around the world. Once they appeared, they were either eliminated or controlled.

During World War II, the German leader relied on his SS-level psychic ability to rally the powerful Third Reich with just his words. So many people devoted themselves to him, was it really because of his charisma? During each speech, his powerful psychic ability made everyone follow his mental waves, creating resonance and subconscious agreement.

Controlling all the high-ranking German officers, could there be a second voice in Germany?

Now, Carlo Gambino was the same. As long as he controlled the upper and middle levels of the Gambino family, could anyone betray him? This way, he could enjoy life in Switzerland and remotely control the entire Gambino family.

This was the terrifying aspect of psychic ability users.

However, as a father, Carlo Gambino doted on his four children. If he controlled and enslaved his own family, would he still be human? This led to the rebellion of his most beloved son, Adam, who wanted to study in the United States. Carlo Gambino arranged the best university for him. Since the entire Gambino family was under his control, no one knew about Adam's affairs, so Adam lived a life of luxury in the United States with the large sum of money provided by his father.

His three daughters, like his wife, were peaceful and unambitious, living ordinary lives as teachers, doctors, and journalists in Switzerland.

Although living a peaceful life in Switzerland for many years had calmed Carlo Gambino, the incident with Adam made the once-iron-fisted godfather show his fangs again. Staring at the window for a long time, he held the photo in his hand.

"An, rest assured. I will make everyone involved in this matter pay with their lives along with Adam! I swear," Carlo Gambino muttered to himself.

He picked up the phone and called the head of the Gambino family in New York.

"Mad Dog, I don't care how you do it, find the old cat who issued the task, make him reveal the mastermind behind this incident, and don't let anyone involved escape, not a single one!" Carlo Gambino roared.

"Understood, boss," Mad Dog replied enthusiastically.

Mad Dog's name alone could make children in New York stop crying. Adults would often threaten disobedient children with, "If you keep crying, Mad Dog will take you away!"

Mad Dog, known for his ferocity, was the top enforcer and a high-ranking member of the Gambino family. He was one of the first people Carlo Gambino controlled with his psychic ability.

Mad Dog, as his name suggested, was like a mad dog. He had cruelly murdered his own father, beating him to death with a hammer. His methods of killing others were even more brutal, earning him the name Mad Dog.

Meanwhile, Li She had arrived in Zurich. Located at the crossroads of trade routes from France to Eastern Europe and from Germany to Italy, Zurich was a hub of transportation by land, sea, and air. As the largest financial center in Switzerland, it was home to over 120 banks, more than half of which were foreign, earning it the title of "City of Millionaires in Europe." The banks lined both sides of Seebachstrasse and Börsenstrasse.

As night fell over this beautiful water town, the sunset cast a beautiful red glow on the river, and the streetlights slowly turned on.

Li She, disguised as a European, walked down the street, turned a few corners, and saw a red building by the river. A sign for Rose Bar hung at the entrance. Li She knew that this half of the street was Carlo Gambino's property in Zurich, but he wasn't sure if Carlo Gambino was there. After all, Carlo Gambino had many enemies and owned twenty-six properties in Switzerland. If he wasn't there, it would be quite troublesome to find him.

Li She released the yin energy within him, and it enveloped the entire six-story building. All the living beings inside the building were reflected in Li She's mind. Animals and humans had different vital energies, and in Li She's mind, they appeared as small green dots, representing ordinary people. After all, the vital energy of ordinary people was not as strong as that of ability users or martial artists.

When a dense green dot appeared in the central room on the sixth floor, Li She was surprised. "I didn't expect there to be another ability user, and an S-level one at that. This Gambino family is not simple," Li She thought.

However, seeing this green dot, Li She smiled. An S-level ability user in the Gambino family must have a high status and might have information about Carlo Gambino.

Li She glanced at the ordinary-looking bar, noticing the high-resolution surveillance cameras at the entrance. He smiled and walked forward, turned a few corners, found a secluded spot, and jumped thirty meters high, landing lightly on the roof of the five-story building. He then leaped a few times and reached the roof of Rose Bar.

The iron door on the roof was like tofu in Li She's hands. He pulled the chain and entered the hallway.

He walked toward the room where the ability user was. Two large German Shepherds at the door trembled when they saw Li She. After all, the inhuman aura Li She emitted was very obvious to animals. Moreover, black dog blood was a bane to low-level zombies, but in front of Li She, the 'Drought Corpse,' these specially trained black Shepherds were as docile as cats. This was the instinct of animals. In the eyes of the two dogs, Li She had no signs of life, and the terrifying aura made them dare not move.

Li She smiled and pushed the door open. A man sitting in a recliner was staring blankly at the street outside the window. Hearing the door open, the man didn't turn around and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I say I don't want to eat?"

Li She walked to the bar in the room, took a bottle of Port wine, poured himself a glass, and said, "I'm not here to invite you to eat!"

The man was startled by the sound at the bar. Who had the nerve to touch his beloved Port wine without permission? Everyone in the Gambino family was always submissive in front of him. His beloved Port wine, if anyone dared to touch it without his permission, would face severe consequences. He turned around and saw a stranger.

Li She was also surprised when the man turned around, not expecting this S-level ability user to be Carlo Gambino himself.

He took a sip of the wine and said, "The wine is good, 1982 Port! I thought it would take some effort to find you, but it was surprisingly easy."

As an S-level psychic ability user, Carlo Gambino had been through many storms and assassination attempts. He smiled and said, "If you like it, have more. After all, a dead man can't taste the 1982 Port." As he spoke, his eyes closed, and a wave of mental control pressed toward Li She. Psychic abilities, while powerful, were mainly used to control the human mind and behavior, with limited offensive capabilities, similar to hypnosis.

Carlo Gambino's magnetic voice slowly said, "You're not the first to enter my room silently. You must be tired from your journey. Enjoy the delicious Port wine. Can you feel the fragrance of the grapes? The sun shining on the purple grapes is so beautiful." His words, combined with his mental pressure, could control a person within seconds.

However, this time, Carlo Gambino was in for a surprise, as he encountered Li She, the 'Drought Corpse.'

Li She naturally felt the mental pressure, which, combined with the magnetic voice, made him see a vineyard. He looked at the man in surprise, "You're a psychic ability user? Ha ha ha, I didn't expect Carlo Gambino to be a psychic ability user, and an S-level one at that? What a great discovery!" Li She laughed.

Hearing Li She's words, Carlo Gambino's confident expression vanished. How could the man resist his mental control? Even ability users of the same level would be affected, unless they were of a higher level. Could there be an SS-level ability user in the world?
