Hardy explained the situation with Robin. "A singer hired for the movie promotion went to the rehearsal yesterday and saw Ava. He wanted to ask her out, and when she refused, he threatened to disrupt the performance. Don\'t you think I should teach him a lesson?" Hardy said.

Michael was speechless. He realized that Hardy was teasing him, using the excuse of not going to the signing as a threat.

Actually, Hardy didn\'t need to go for the signing. Michael, being the company\'s chairman and person in charge, could sign it himself. But he wanted Hardy to go with him because they had developed a deep friendship and become close buddies over time. Michael hoped Hardy would be with him at such an important moment.

"Hardy, Los Angeles is quite far from New York. There\'s no need to call people from Los Angeles. How about I handle this matter?" Michael said.

"You handle it? That goes against your principles," Hardy said.

Michael had previously told Hardy that he didn\'t want to take over the family business and was against using mafia methods to solve problems.

Michael took a deep breath. "I only said I don\'t like the bullying style of the mafia. I didn\'t say I wouldn\'t help friends who are bullied."

"This is New York, the East Coast. Naturally, I should be responsible for what happens here. If it were in Los Angeles, on the West Coast, you would handle it," Michael said.

"Haha, then thank you. I\'m going to bed. Good night." Hardy said with a smile.

Michael hung up the phone with a helpless smile. He realized that Hardy had tricked him into handling the matter. Not only that but he had turned his request into making it seem like Mike was asking him for help.

What a rascal!

Michael thought for a moment and then called Clemenza.

Clemenza was one of Godfather Vito Corleone\'s top men, responsible for operations and executions. Despite his short, stout appearance, which made him seem like a friendly old man, he was the Corleone family\'s most formidable executioner.

"Uncle Clemenza, it\'s Michael. I need your help with something," Michael said.

"Michael, feel free to ask," Clemenza replied with a smile.

He had watched Michael grow up and liked him the most among the Godfather\'s three children because he thought Michael\'s character was the most like the old Godfather\'s.

"My partner, Jon Hardy, whom you met at dinner last time, has a movie company in Hollywood. He\'s promoting a film in New York," Michael said, briefly explaining the situation. Essentially, Hardy\'s girlfriend was harassed by a singer, and when she ignored him, he threatened to disrupt the promotion.

"This is a small matter. I\'ll handle it. Tomorrow, his body will be at his doorstep," Clemenza said.

"No, my friend just wants to give him a lesson." Michael didn\'t want to kill someone over such a trivial matter.

"To what extent? Break his arms and legs or paralyze him." Clemenza asked.

"I don\'t think that\'s necessary. Just let him know the seriousness of the matter and make him behave properly," Michael said.

Clemenza hung up the phone, patted his chubby face, and then called the old Godfather. This was Michael\'s first time asking for his help, so he felt it was necessary to inform the old godfather.

The old godfather was pleased to hear that Michael had asked Clemenza to teach someone a lesson. He felt Michael was becoming more mature.

He used to talk to Michael about family matters, but Michael was always resistant and even did many rebellious things. After returning from the army, he always tried to stay away from the family. He found an editing job and only went home occasionally for a meal and did not contact the family.

Vito once thought that his relationship with his son would continue like this, but then there was a turn for the better.

Hardy\'s arrival and friendship with Michael had helped change Michael\'s attitude, making him more open to the family\'s influence and advice.

Then the two of them started a company together. He found that Michael had changed a lot during this period. At least he was willing to accept his opinions and the power of the family.

This was the biggest progress.

The old godfather was very optimistic about Hardy\'s future. He saw Hardy as a young man with ideas, capability, and a good sense of proportion. He could control the underworld forces without over abusing its power and had a unique vision for the future.

The old godfather thought Hardy\'s woman being threatened by a singer couldn\'t just end with a simple lesson. "Clemenza, don\'t use violence on that singer, Robin. But make him understand the severity of the situation. Have him apologize and properly participate in the performance since he signed a contract," the old godfather instructed.

"I understand," Clemenza replied. For him, this was an easy task.

After hanging up, the old godfather called a few more people, including an old friend in the entertainment industry and his godson, Johnny Fontane. Satisfied with his arrangements, he walked out of his study, enjoying a cigar while admiring the beautiful moonlight in the yard.

The next morning, Hardy and Ava got up, got ready, and opened the door to leave, only to find the MGM publicity manager standing outside. He looked like he had been standing there for quite a while.

The manager greeted Hardy and Ava with a smile and said, "Good morning, Mr. Hardy, Miss Ava."

"Do you need something?"

"Yes, I have some good news to report. This morning, I received several calls. The first was from Robin. He said he would be at the performance tonight and has already gone to the theater to prepare for rehearsal..."

Ava looked at the manager in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with Robin?"

The manager saw that Ava probably didn\'t know what happened. After looking at Hardy, he smiled and said, "No, nothing. Robin said that his throat was uncomfortable yesterday. It\'s better today and it will definitely not affect the performance."

"Also, I received calls from two performing arts companies. They said someone will perform as a guest tonight."
