Wolfe Torres was quite famous in the army at one point, and was even made colonel at the young age of thirty five, which was quite a remarkable feat for a regular person.
Unfortunately, his private affairs were a mess in comparison to his glittering report card.
Drinking, gambling, and womanizing were his forte.
When he was thirty-six, he had gotten into trouble because of drinking and was demoted from the frontline to the backup troops where he managed the lowest ranking soldiers.
However, in less than two years, he got into trouble once again because of women.
This time, he was expelled immediately!
However, even though he was expelled, he became very close with the Russo family throughout his two years in the Armed Forces.
Therefore, after being expelled, he worked for the Russo family as their subordinate.
Giovanni was overjoyed to see Wolfe coming to his rescue.
Normally, he addressed him as just Torres, but this time, he actually cried out in joy, "Uncle Torres, you are here in time! Someone here is banking on their support from a North army officer and says that they want to kill Mr. Zabinski and I. Please save us!"
Wolfe barged in with his men and looked at everyone as he snorted, "I would like to see who is the arrogant twat who dares to claim that he going for Mr. Zabinski and Mr. Russo's lives! In fact, I want to see who is this army officer that is supporting him!"
Jerry and Giovanni were both overjoyed to hear his thunderous declaration.
Wolfe used to be known as the Army King, and it should take him very little effort to take down Nathan Cross.
Wolfe used to be a colonel at the North, and apparently it was the Northern Marshal himself who had nominated him.
Even though Wolfe was not in the army anymore, he still had a certain level of influence within the troops. So, even Colin would have to accord him some respect.
Giovanni and Jerry felt that there was hope with Wolfe's appearance.
In fact, he might even be able to kill Nathan Cross. Both of them were so ecstatic they could sing out loud.
