Philip, the boss of the Tattaglia family, approached Barzini and said, "Jon Hardy is close to the Corleone family. With him around, our business on the West Coast is finished. We should join forces to take him down."
Barzini, a shrewd old man, squinted his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
"Barzini, what are you thinking?" Philip urged.
Barzini shook his head, "I received information that Jon Hardy has unified all the forces in Los Angeles. He not only has the Los City gang but also HD Security, which can exercise police powers at will. This is very tricky."
"How many people can we send to the West Coast? One hundred, two hundred, or even five hundred? His Los City gang now has at least 500 men, most of whom are veterans. HD Security has even more, with 1,500 men, and they are even more combat ready."
