36, the tough Elwood Villager

 "Donny, I'm very unhappy!"

When Downey came to Nucky's office and sat across from Nucky, Nucky said dissatisfied.

"I thought we were already friends, but after something happened, you didn't come to me, but to Mobley. In your eyes, is the friendship between us worse than you and Mobley?"

Friendship between us?"

Downey looked surprised: "So Nucky, you can rescue my friend?"

Nucky's expression was stagnant. He didn't expect Downey to be so proactive. Could it be that his performance just now was too proactive?

Putting aside his doubts, Nucky asked: "You should know about LeBron, right?"

Downey: "Nucky, do you want me to be loyal to you like the Brigadier General?"

"LeBron's distillery was bombed, and the whiskey and rum I shipped from England were detained by the Coast Guard!"

"When will my friend be released?"

The two of them were talking so inconsistently that Nucky couldn't bear it. Now he had a lot to do and no time to waste, so he decided to talk to Donnie straight to the point.

"Two conditions, sell the moonshine produced by your family to LeBron at the pre-Prohibition price, and at the same time, you have to give up your cooperation with Mobley!

If you can agree to these two conditions, I will help you release your friend!"

Downey also put away his smile: "Nucky, you just said that we are friends. I have never heard of such harsh conditions between friends!"

"Donnie, you have no choice!"

Nucky looked at Downey confidently. From the moment he first met this person, Nucky was sure that he could completely control Downey, even now.

"Although the Ku Klux Klan has some influence in Atlantic City, their influence is always limited. Your friend was imprisoned by the Brigadier General, and the Brigadier General has clearly rejected Mobley's request. Now if you don't agree to my request,

The conditions are that not only are your friends unable to be released, but you will also be imprisoned in the Public Security Department after leaving here!"

Downey was not intimidated by Nucky's threat, but said calmly: "If this is the case, Nucky, you will face a scene without alcohol in the entire Atlantic City in a short time!"

"NO, NO, NO." Nucky waved his hand confidently: "Do you really think that since LeBron's winery was bombed and my private wine was confiscated, I will have no way to get the wine?

I can tell you that as of today, as you and I speak, there is enough wine to be shipped from Chicago to Atlantic City!"

Downey's calm expression changed slightly, and then returned to normal, "I believe you have the strength, Nucky!"

Nucky nodded with satisfaction, "So, you have to choose to cooperate with me, which is the most correct decision. Believe me, in another ten years, you will become one of the most important people in Atlantic City. This is my opinion of you."

Guaranteed!"

Compared with the cooperation proposed by the Brigadier General, Downey was even more excited by the cooperation proposed by Nucky at this time, but Downey still could not agree to Nucky.

Again, if you agree to Nucky, you are putting your destiny in Nucky's hands. The other party can praise you now and suppress you in the future. Whether you succeed or fail, everything is under the control of the other party.

Downey had already felt this way in his previous life, so he knew that this feeling was very bad.

"I believe that Chicago will provide you with drinks, Nucky, but I also believe that this price is definitely not the price that Nucky wants to see. That is, if Nucky wants to get drinks at a reasonable price, it must be

You need my support!"

Downey rejects Nucky's proposal.

This is also the first time Downey has explicitly raised his objection to Nucky's proposal.

Sure enough, Nucky, who is used to controlling everything, showed an unhappy look on his face after hearing what Downey said.

"Donny, I know your trump card comes from the brewery in Elwood Village. I think you should call your home now. This will allow you to make a clearer judgment!"

After saying that, Nucky hoped to see a panicked expression on Downey's face, but obviously Downey didn't let Nucky get what he wanted, but Downey still called the Bullock's Tavern in Elwood Village.

The phone rang, and old Karl's rich voice came from the other side: "Which bastard is it?"

"Dad, it's me!" Downey responded helplessly.

"Haha, he turns out to be the second proudest son of our Bullock family!" Old Carl said with a laugh. In his heart, Cameron, who is about to enter college, is still the most proud son of the Bullock family.

.

In addition, the Bullock family does not have a third son to be proud of!

Downey didn't pay attention to what Karl Lao said and said with a smile: "A friend in Atlantic City asked me to call home and ask about the situation at home!"

Old Carl laughed and said: "You can give the phone to that bastard!"

Downey held the phone, holding back his laughter and said, "Please forgive my father for being rude, you know he is just a country bumpkin!"

Old Carl's angry voice came from the phone: "Who are you calling a country bumpkin?"

Nucky listened to the conversation between Donnie and Carl Lao. He didn't like this kind of conversation. In Nucky's mind, Carl Lao should be panicking at this time.

However, Nucky still answered the phone, and there was still Old Carl's rich voice: "Nucky, listen, if you want to deal with Old Carl, you should send more people over. These few people are not enough for Old Carl."

It’s sewn!”

Then Nucky heard a whining sound on the phone.

Downey said at this time: "Mr. Nucky, you underestimated the unity of Elwood Village!"

In fact, Downey didn't know that Nucky sent people to Elwood Village to find Carl Lao, but before this happened, Downey had already made arrangements for Elwood Village.

First, in order to avoid trouble from Nucky or the Commodore in his brewery, Donnie asked John to send a message to Old Carl to build two breweries, just in case!

As Prohibition brought Donny a lot of money, he immediately purchased a batch of weapons from Allman, and gave John $2,000 to bring back to Elwood Village. Not only did he expand his brewery,

He also used money to win over people in the entire village and made them his own workers and security guards.

At this time, the entire Elwood Village has become the Elwood Village of the Bullock family.

Elwood Village, which has a tough folk custom, has become even more tough after receiving the blessing of weapons.

Nucky thought that he could send a few people and scare them to do whatever they wanted. He obviously underestimated the fighting power of Elwood Village.

Nucky was not discouraged in the face of failure, but shook his head helplessly and said: "I was careless this time, just like I thought of you before, Donnie, but you don't think there's nothing I can do about it, do you?"

Donnie shook his head and said: "Of course not. I also admit that you made a small mistake this time, Nucky, and I also believe that if you want to, there must be a way, but it will take time.

And Nucky, you don’t have much time now!”

Nucky nodded, without denying this, and continued: "Actually, Donny, you don't have much time left. Although the people in Elwood Village can save your brewery, they can't save you. If you are caught, you will be safe."

The trouble in Elwood Village will naturally be solved by then, so you are still under my control!"

Downey smiled and shook his head and said: "Robert didn't come out because Mobley was worried about the kindness the Brigadier had shown him before, and was also wary of the power you and the Brigadier had in Atlantic City. But if I was caught, Mobley would definitely not

It’s so easy.”

"Your relationship with Mobley is not that deep!"

Nucky said confidently.

"Of course!" Downey nodded to agree with Nucky's point of view, and continued: "But this will make Nucky continue to get into trouble between the Ku Klux Klan and LeBron. I think Nucky you are willing to reveal your wishes to me.

The determination to cooperate with me must be something I learned from LeBron."

At this time, Nucky admitted in his heart that he had indeed underestimated Downey before. He did not expect that Downey would be so smart, but at the same time, Nucky's vigilance towards Downey also increased several levels in his heart.

Now, he no longer thinks that Downey is a person he can manipulate at will.

"If the conflict between the Ku Klux Klan and LeBron is allowed to deepen, then Nucky you need to abandon one of the forces. The Brigadier General will definitely want to see this!"

Nucky frowned slightly and said solemnly: "I will take care of this matter!"

"If time permits!" Downey said another sentence that Nucky did not say.

Nucky's voice became more solemn: "I don't like the way you talk to me now!"

Downey's voice became more and more relaxed: "Mr. Nucky, I have no intention of being your enemy. If that's the case, I can definitely join the Brigadier's camp. I said it when we first met, I just

A businessman just wants to make money safely in Atlantic City.

So, if you can give me half of LeBron’s share of the liquor business in Atlantic City, I guarantee that the Ku Klux Klan will not trouble LeBron’s niggas again before the election!”

"You joined the Ku Klux Klan?" Nucky asked in surprise.

Downey shook his head and said: "I'm just a businessman!"

Nucky said: "So this is your bargaining chip, but I just told you that I don't like to be threatened, so I can't agree to this matter, and you will soon see that I can mediate

Trouble between the Klan and LeBron!"
