America 1919

Damai James listened to the voice on the radio and laughed loudly.

It wasn't just Damai James who was shocked, Nucky felt the same way, "Donnie always manages to bring us surprises!"

Getting to his feet, Damai James no longer planned to listen to the rest of the broadcast, "We can go find Governor Edwards now. I believe he will surely have a completely different opinion about our proposal!"

Nucky also stood up, "That's what I think too. Before this, whether it was Edwards or some guys in the House of Representatives, they all thought Atlantic City was a city without integrity. But now, Donnie's actions have indeed told them that the very foundation of Atlantic City is integrity!"

As the two walked out of the office, Damai James suddenly asked Nucky, "Still, it seems a bit of a pity to just destroy private liquor worth a hundred thousand US dollars like this!"

"Haha!" Nucky burst into laughter, "A hundred thousand US dollars is the selling price of this private liquor, not its cost."

Caught off guard for a moment, Damai James then laughed, "Atlantic City truly is a city based on integrity!"

Nucky laughed, "Naturally!"

"Charlie, I've made up my mind, I'm going to Atlantic City with you. This Mr. Donnie Block is just too brilliant. I never thought that things could turn out this way!"

Although Griffith had nothing to do with this matter, as someone who had been following it, he was amazed to hear that Atlantic City dared to boldly destroy a hundred thousand dollars' worth of private liquor. He also developed a strong interest in Donnie Block.

Charlie Chaplin sat there with a complex expression. As a proud man, he never thought that anyone could come up with a solution for the issue that he hadn't thought of himself.

But now Donnie Block had done it.

And not only had he done it, but he had done it beautifully. Chaplin believed that after this, even America's real tycoons would definitely want to check out Atlantic City.

"Let's go, I'm very interested in this Mr. Donnie Block now!"

At this point, Chaplin finally acknowledged Donnie Block's genius.

Seeing Chaplin's reaction, Griffith couldn't help but smile.

Atlantic City!

All the people on the scene watched as Robert, with each swing of his ax, smashed one barrel after another, watching the various colors of liquor flow down the rocks and into the Atlantic.

Such a scene was far more shocking than those who were listening over the radio.

Bob Ferry had now forgotten the threats Robert had made towards him and was just continuously taking pictures—capturing Robert swinging his ax, capturing the liquor flowing into the sea.

It wasn't only Bob Ferry doing this—journalists from other newspapers were doing the same. As journalists, they naturally knew what kind of sensation this event would cause afterwards.

Now, what they had to do was to take photos of the scene first, and then, as soon as Robert completed his act, they would immediately go for an interview, and then rush to write up today's event into a news report and send it back to their companies!

It was just when they thought of these things that they couldn't help but have a question come to mind.

Robert must have known about the coverage of this incident, but why did he set it up to threaten them at the beginning?

"Walker, did you know about Donnie Block's plan all along!"

A hundred thousand US dollars couldn't shock Maholi, but the scene before her did shock her. So, it took a while before Maholi recovered.

Walker smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I knew about it for quite some time, but even so, when I am faced with the situation at hand, I am still shocked!"

Maholi nodded, "It's truly shocking. If you could apply this incident to a certain brand, I believe that brand would sell like crazy!"

Walker laughed heartily, "To Donnie, Atlantic City itself is a brand. I believe this event will give Atlantic City a different feel to everyone!"

Maholi just thought about it for a moment, nodded, and then turned her gaze to Donnie, who was always smiling not far away.

"Now I admit, having such a friend is indeed something worth celebrating!" Maholi said earnestly.

Walker laughed heartily, "Then, dear Maholi, do you have any thoughts about being the award presenter for the runner-up of the Miss America final?"

Maholi said with a smile, "I have never wavered about it!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Walker first smiled, then said laughingly, "That's true, Maholi, you always make the right choices, just like how we can become better friends now!"

Maholi looked at the increasingly teasing Walker, laughed again, and said nothing.

Donnie Block watched Robert dispose of the alcohol with a calm expression and said to Eli beside him, "Eli, I think the workload of your security department is going to increase in the future!"

Eli shook off his shock and asked, "What do you mean, Donnie?"

Donnie laughed, "After this incident, I believe more people will come to Atlantic City. As the protectors of Atlantic City, your security department will certainly be busier!"

"Haha!" Eli laughed, "That's the task of our security department after all. Besides, isn't it better for us if there are more tourists in Atlantic City?"

Donnie also nodded in satisfaction and laughed, "That's right. So now, you shouldn't have any more doubts about my plan to build a world-class hotel in Atlantic City, should you?"

Before this, Eli, even though aware of Donnie's plan, shared the same view with many others and thought it was unrealistic, as Atlantic City is not New York!

But now...

"I have never doubted your decisions, Donnie!"

Donnie laughed heartily after listening and patted Eli Johnson on the shoulder, "Alright, I'll leave things here to you!"

Eli paused, pointing at Robert who was still disposing of the bootleg alcohol, "You're leaving? Robert isn't done yet?"

"You can leave. There won't be any problems with you and Robert here. And I believe the phone in my office must be about to blow up by now."

After saying that, Donnie turned and left, leaving Eli with a view of his retreating back...
