America 1919

Nevin Byrd's remarks caused the patrons from the East District in the tavern to look unkindly at Donnie, but all they could do was look!

"Hmph, people from the East District are also people of Atlantic City, and every single thing I do now, which one isn't for the benefit of the people of Atlantic City? And which one doesn't make the people of the East District even happier?

As for you, you're exploiting the entire East District, and in the end, it's all for your own petty self-interest. Between the two of us, who is the one really letting down the East District?"

Donnie said coldly, "However, I didn't come here today for that, I'm just here to tell you, people from Elwood Village can't be manipulated by you as you please. This matter ends here. If I find out that you're hosting anyone from Elwood Village again, there will be no more negotiations between us, only war!"

Donnie took out a check from his pocket and said, "Here is the money Layton and the others borrowed from you, plus all the interest accrued up to now. Remember my words, people from Elwood Village can't be calculated by you!"

After saying that, Donnie left the place with Robert and the others.

The people inside the German tavern looked at each other, eventually focusing their gaze on Nevin Byrd.

.

Not long after Donnie returned to Block Tavern, Hans Layton, Christu Richards, and Chek Bend came in laughing and joking.

"Donnie, I just knew you wouldn't forget that we're all from Elwood Village. You easily paid off the money we owed Nevin Byrd for us!"

Hans Layton said happily.

Chek Bend, however, was somewhat unhappy and said, "But Donnie, you paid the debt alright, but why did you have to hit Nevin Byrd? Nevin isn't bad, you got a bit overexcited there!"

Christu Richards didn't care about Donnie paying the money or hitting Nevin Byrd, but was merely curious as he asked.

"Donnie, so now that we can't go to Nevin's casino to play anymore, does that mean we can go play at yours?"

Hearing what Christu said, the other two also showed excited expressions.

"I've heard for a long time that Block Tavern is now the best casino in Atlantic City. I've been wanting to come here to play!"

Hans Layton said even more cheerfully.

Donnie looked at these three damn fools. If it was not for how to handle their situation, with all of Elwood Village watching, he would have Robert throw the three of them into the Atlantic right now!

Robert also saw Donnie's displeased expression and immediately reminded the three.

"What are you talking about? Do you know how much flak Donnie is catching from the people of Atlantic City because of you guys?"

But the three of them clearly didn't grasp Robert's point and continued to speak with a laugh.

"What's the big deal? Donnie is now the most influential man in Atlantic City. I bet even Nucky dares not to offend Donnie now, what do we have to fear?"

"Exactly, Robert, don't think that just because you left early to spend some time with Donnie you can lecture us. We all grew up together. When we were kids, I even watched Maria Auntie take a bath with Donnie!"

Christu Richards said proudly.

"That's right, that's right!" Chek Bend also said with pride, "It's just that we didn't come out with Donnie earlier. If we had come out with Donnie from the start, right now all of Atlantic City would be Donnie's!"

Seeing these three clueless fools, Robert decisively chose to keep his mouth shut.

At that moment, Donnie spoke up with a smile, "I'm curious, since you've come to Atlantic City, why didn't you come directly to me like Steve Cotting and the others, instead of going to Nevin's to gamble?"

Believing that Donnie wouldn't do anything to them, they no longer kept anything hidden.

Hans Layton said outright, "Aren't we just a little worried? Didn't you say before not to let anyone from Elwood Village gamble? And we also thought, since we came to Atlantic City to find you, we couldn't come empty-handed.

So we heard that you had some differences with Nevin Byrd."

Christu Richards took up the tale, "You know our gambling skills, who can win money from us in Elwood Village? So we thought, since Nevin has issues with you.

We'd go there to gamble, take all his money, and then he'd have to listen to you obediently.

Consider it our gift to you!"

Chek Bend also said, "Who knew Nevin's casino would be nothing like those in Elwood Village. We three weren't careful and lost all our money to him.

But don't worry Donnie, we've got the hang of Nevin's casino routines now. Just give us some more money, we guarantee we can take all of Nevin's money this time!" Experience tales at empire

"Absolutely!"

"Absolutely!"

Hans Layton and Christu Richards nodded together.

Donnie looked at the three with amusement, thinking they still wanted to get money from him, "Lending you money is not a problem!"

Hearing Donnie agree to lend them money to continue gambling, the three immediately showed triumphant expressions, with Christu Richards not forgetting to give Robert a provocative look.

Donnie, paying no mind to their reaction, continued, "But you can't stay in Atlantic City any longer!"
