13. George Korle must die
George Korle must die!
But George Korle must not die in Downey's hands.
After hearing what Downey said, Bill Cody and Ralph Rivers were instantly frightened. They didn't expect Downey to be so ruthless and just wanted to buy back the tavern that George Korle gave to him at a low price.
, we must kill the opponent now!
What they didn't expect was that the two of them would have to do this!
"I, I..." Bill Cody didn't dare to agree to Downey. He knew George Korle's status in Atlantic City better than Downey. If he killed him, then their family would no longer have to stay in Atlantic City.
It’s a city, and you don’t even have to stay in the United States anymore!
"Donny, Donny, listen to me, there is a brigadier general behind George Korler. If we kill him, none of us will survive!" Ralph Rivers shouted loudly, but the sound of waves hitting the cliff below was too loud.
Only a few people present can hear it.
Downey still had a smile on his face, but he just raised the pistol and pointed it at Ralph Rivers, saying: "You are wrong, it was you two who killed George Korle, not me!" <
/p>
After finishing speaking, Downey glanced back and forth between their faces, and his voice began to become cold, just like the current temperature.
"My patience is limited. There are only two ways before you. Either George Kuhl is strangled to death, or you two and the four in the car die. One life for six lives. You should be able to do this arithmetic problem."
!"
Bill Cody and Ralph Rivers both heard the determination in Downey's voice.
"I, I have something to say!"
Just before Downey pulled the trigger, Ralph Rivers suddenly said loudly.
Downey looked at Ralph Rivers with a smile and said, "You agree?"
Ralph Rivers did not directly answer Downey's question, but immediately said: "Actually, Nucky has always wanted to deal with George Korler. I am the person Nucky placed next to George. I know that Nucky is very optimistic about you.
, you can ask Nucky for help, I believe Nucky will definitely help!"
Donnie's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Rivers to be Nucky's man, but when he thought about it, it was understandable. Although Nucky agreed to George Korle becoming Atlantic City's deputy security officer, it didn't mean that Nucky and the Brigadier were the same.
They coexisted peacefully and agreed to George Korle's position arrangement. In fact, it was just to balance the emotions of the old guys in Atlantic City!
Seeing that Downey didn't speak, Rivers thought that Downey was already moved, and continued to persuade: "The status of the Commodore is from the past, and Atlantic City now belongs to Nucky. As long as Nucky is willing to speak, all problems will be non-issues."
!"
Although Cody on the side did not expect that Rivers turned out to be Nucky's man, he looked at Downey with hope at this time, hoping that Downey would listen to their persuasion.
As a result, Downey's performance caused their newly raised hopes to plummet to the bottom.
"I resolve my own matters by myself. I won't go to Nucky, so now the two choices are still there. How do you two choose?"
Rivers was shaking, and he wanted to continue to persuade: "Nucky will really help you, I believe..."
Bang!
In the night with the sound of waves, a gunshot rang out. Rivers, who had been persuading just now, was shot in the forehead and fell into a pool of blood. Under the moonlight, you could see his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe it. Downey
Actually fired.
Cody on the side even collapsed on the ground.
In fact, after learning about the situation of Bill Cody and Ralph Rivers, Downey already understood that the only one who could do this was Bill Cody, because this man was involved, and Ralph Rivers
Firth has no ties, and people without ties are difficult to control.
Especially now that Ralph Rivers has revealed his true background.
Donny didn't go to Nucky just because he didn't want Nucky to get a hold of him. Now if Ralph Rivers tells Nucky about this, wouldn't everything tonight be in vain?<
/p>
"My patience is limited. If you refuse again, someone in the car will be shot next!"
Downey's voice was like a devil coming out of hell, making Bill Cody feel as cold as falling into an ice cave.
.
The next morning!
Wearing a somewhat shabby jacket, Downey appeared on the second floor of the Reitz Hotel in Atlantic City, exchanged $50 in chips, and began casually trying his luck at a certain gambling table.
Obviously, Downey had good luck today. An hour later, the $50 chips in his hand turned into $60 chips.
However, Donnie didn't care about this and still placed bets at each gambling table casually.
At this time, Louis knew about Downey's appearance at the Reitz Hotel and Casino, and informed Nucky, who was meeting guests in the study!
"Donnie is here?"
Nucky was very happy when he heard that Donnie appeared at the Ritz Hotel. His bright head became brighter with his mood, and he smiled and said: "Let him come in!"
Louis said with a strange expression: "Donny didn't come to see you, but was in the casino!"
Nucky showed a hint of doubt and confirmed again: "Donny didn't come to see me?"
Louis shook his head and said, "That's it. Do you want me to bring him up?"
Nucky waved his hand and said: "No, we can't take the initiative in this matter!"
Louis asked: "What should we do now? Do we want Joe to prepare?"
Nucky pondered for a while, and he had to admit that at this time, he could no longer see through Donnie's behavior at this time, "According to our previous agreement, if Donnie returns the Korla Tavern to George this afternoon, then
Just ask Joe to find him. If he doesn’t have it, then there’s no need!”
Although Nucky doesn't know the saying 'stay the same in the face of change', that's exactly what he did at this time.

Anyway, all the puzzles will be answered this afternoon, so there is no rush!
Louis said softly: "I don't think Donnie can cope with George Korler's situation!"
Nucky laughed and said, "You rarely express your opinions!"
Louis sneered and said: "I just saw that boss you are very interested in this Donnie, so I thought more about it!"
Nucky waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't put too much thought on him, he won't be able to change the world no matter what!"
After speaking, Nucky asked Louis to invite the next person who came to him for help.
.
George Korle got up very early today, earlier than other times, because he was going to meet a person today, a person who was his father from a biological point of view!
‘Brigadier’ Louis Korle.
The Commodore was born on Christmas Day in 1857 in the last century. His parents were German immigrants from New York. His father was a chef in New York. Later, he was attracted by the tourism industry in Atlantic City and the family came to Atlantic City.
The experience of working as a chef in New York allowed the Commodore's father to accumulate some wealth, so after arriving in Atlantic City, he bought a hotel and renamed it Korla Hotel!
This is the Korla family’s first property in Atlantic City!
Eighteen-year-old Louis took over the Korla Tavern from his father and expanded it. After accumulating some reputation, Louis joined the Atlantic City Yacht Club and actively participated in the club's activities. It was also at this time that he received
He received the unofficial title of 'Brigadier General', and this title has accompanied him throughout his life!
The Korla Hotel he managed was also called the "Street Corner" by Atlantic City people at this time, and the Brigadier here became the underground emperor of Atlantic City.
But now the Brigadier no longer lives on the 'street corner', but in his own beachside villa!
This is a Georgian-style seaside villa. George Korle was led by the servants of the villa to the brigadier general's study.
But when he opened the door, he frowned slightly because a young, beautiful, and flamboyantly dressed man was giving the Brigadier a massage.
The former brigadier general liked women. After being imprisoned, the brigadier general began to like men!
"Dad, I will take back the Korla Tavern today, and then it will become our base for selling illegal liquor!"
George Korler stood in the middle of the study and said in a calm tone.
The brigadier general opened his cloudy eyes, a hint of shrewdness and dissatisfaction flashed through his dark eyes, and finally smiled kindly.
"Nucky has convinced the city hall that Atlantic City will continue to have alcohol. By then, people not only from Philadelphia but from several other cities will also come to Atlantic City. A small pub cannot satisfy them.
My appetite!"
George Korler said: "Then I will take advantage of this time to acquire a few more pubs?"
The brigadier general concealed his disappointment well and said: "It's just a tavern. It doesn't matter. What's important is that you have to use your experience in fighting in France to find some suitable friends and let them transport us."
More wine coming.
I believe that after next year, whiskey and rum will become important chips for who will control Atlantic City!"
George Korle could only nod and said: "I understand."
Then the brigadier general motioned to the young man who was massaging him, opened the drawer in front of him, and the man took out a wad of banknotes, which looked like a full ten thousand dollars!
"This is activity funds for you. I hope that in two months, you will be able to bypass Nucky and have a good relationship with the Coast Guard people!"
A sincere smile appeared on George Korle's face. After taking the dollar, he smiled and said: "Thank you, father, I will not let you down!"
"Go!" The brigadier closed his eyes again and waved his hand.
George Korle, who took the money and left, drove away from the brigadier general's villa and went straight back to the security office.
"Bill, Ralph!"
In the security hall, George Korle shouted loudly.
Bill Cody, who looked a little weak, walked over with a pale face, "Ralph is not here yet!"
"It must be some kind of boarding house. Don't worry about it. Let's go and have fun!"
As he spoke, George Korle dragged Bill Cody out of the security office, got into his car that was still on, and took out the ten thousand US dollars in cash that was not yet warm from his jacket pocket without even noticing it.
Bill Cody's expression, he said proudly.
