Back from class...

Scene Three:
A flashback. Not so long ago, Michael (now one of the richest men in the world, he has modified his criminal empire to suit the changing times, dealing mostly in legalized gambling, but he has connections with the international drug trade, white collar crimes, and anything else extremely profitable) goes to NY to meet with some people from the Russian Mafia.

The Russians want to get in on the American underworld... little did they know that there was one man controlling most of it. "When we came here we knew nothing. We were better off ignorant. I wish I had never heard the name Michael Corleone." The Russians want to make a deal with Michael to get a piece of the profits. Michael listens to them, but realizing there's nothing in it for him and that the inexperienced Russians are a liability, he has no choice but to decline their offer.

The Russians tell Michael that he will regret his decision...
