38, Scott: The pub is yours!
"Donny, let me introduce to you, this is Dwight Savage, a friend I met in prison, a very good pickpocket!"
When talking about Dwight's career, Robert was not embarrassed at all, and the thin Dwight also bowed and came to Downey's side enthusiastically.
"Boss Bullock, I have heard of your name when I was in prison. You are simply my idol!"
In response to Dwight's flattery, Magage and the others showed disdain.
Donnie smiled and asked, "Really, have you heard anything about me?"
"By the way, the entire United States was prohibiting alcohol at that time, but you, Boss Bullock, had the foresight to start stocking up on alcohol. Now everyone in Atlantic City doesn't know that you, Boss Bullock, are the largest wine dealer in Atlantic City!"
Dwight said happily.
After hearing this, Donnie also laughed and said: "That's right, let's stay!"
Hearing what Downey said, Dwight became even more happy.
Then Donnie asked Robert: "How was it? Did anyone walk on the sweat path inside?"
Robert said carelessly: "How is it possible? If I don't leave, they will be fine. None of them dares to quarrel with me!"
Dwight said at the right time: "Boss Bullock, you don't know. When Robert went in, a few people inside wanted to tell Robert about the rules inside. As a result, Robert took care of those people with three strikes, five divided by two."
I am so obedient that I don’t dare to say anything!”
Downey was very happy when he heard that Robert was not bullied inside, and then said with a smile: "Today we have a double happiness, let's celebrate it later!"
John spoke up and asked: "How could it be a double happiness? Apart from Robert being released, what other good things could there be?"
Downey patted John on the shoulder, then smiled and said: "Of course we have another pub!"
When other people in the tavern heard what Downey said, they immediately smiled and asked quickly: "What do you mean?"
After the words fell, Scott walked in with a defeated look on his face, holding a bunch of keys in his hand. Scott didn't say anything about the situation in the pub, but just threw the keys on the table.
"From now on, my tavern is yours!"
Then he left without looking back.
"What's going on?"
Faced with what just happened, John asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Scott would give the tavern to them.
Downey smiled modestly: "We helped Nucky solve the troubles between the Ku Klux Klan and the WCTU, so naturally we have to receive some reward!"
With Brad appearing in Nucky's office today, the two troubles plaguing Nucky in Atlantic City, the troubles between the Ku Klux Klan and the WCTU were officially resolved.
In addition to the cooperation that Downey proposed to Nucky before, there is another thing, that is, Downey wants to get Scott's Tavern.
Now a small Brock's Tavern can no longer meet Downey's business needs, so he must expand his business.
So Downey set his sights on Scott's tavern.
Nucky also happily agreed to Downey's request. Nucky spoke at the top, Downey cut off the drink supply at Scott's Tavern, and WCTU protested at the bottom.
Scott also understood that it was impossible to keep his tavern, so he had no choice but to transfer it to Downey at a very low price!
After listening to Downey's explanation, everyone in the hall became happier and happier. After all, these people are centered on Downey. As long as Downey gets better and better, their lives will get better and better.
Donnie picked up the key on the table, threw it directly to Robert who had just come out, and said: "From now on, you will be responsible for managing Scott's tavern!"
Robert took the key with both hands and said happily: "Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Downey nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Dwight standing next to Robert, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Dwight, Robert just said that you are an excellent pickpocket in Atlantic City. Is this true or false?"
Dwight walked around John and walked to Downey's side, then spread his hands, and a brown and somewhat worn wallet appeared in his hand, and said with a smile: "Boss Bullock, look!"
"Fuck, this is my wallet!" Before Downey could speak, John had already looked at the wallet in Dwight's hand and shouted loudly.
Downey showed a satisfied look, and then said to Dwight: "Very good, I just have something that needs your skills now!"
Dwight immediately showed his loyalty: "Boss Bullock, just give me your orders, I promise to satisfy you!"
Downey called Dwight to him, and then began to give instructions in a low voice. Dwight, who was a little bit shy at first, began to look ugly after listening to Downey's words.
"Boss Bullock, isn't this too dangerous?"
Downey sat there and said nonchalantly: "Of course, if you feel it is dangerous, you can refuse this matter, but Block Tavern does not breed waste. If you can't do it, the door is over there, and you can leave at any time!"
"It can be done, it can be done!" Dwight said quickly.
Downey patted Dwight on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If this thing succeeds, I won't treat you badly!"
"Thank you, Boss Bullock!"
Seeing that Downey had finished giving instructions to Dwight, Robert said to Downey: "Although I'm out now, the sequelae of this incident are still very serious. Should we discuss what to do next?"
This is why Donnie needs Robert. John and others are still immersed in the joy of Robert coming out, but Robert has begun to worry about the follow-up of this matter.
Donnie nodded and said, "Come upstairs with me and let's talk in detail!"
Others didn't think much of Downey's instructions. Anyway, they knew that their brains couldn't keep up with the speed of the two people upstairs.
"John has already told me the process of how you rescued me. Although we got Nucky's approval and obtained half of the alcohol supply in Atlantic City, you also had the assistance of the Ku Klux Klan and the WCTU.
, but after all, it was a positive rejection of the Brigadier General, and it also made Nucky more wary of us. I think that after Nucky solves the Brigadier General, he will definitely set his sights on us.
This is detrimental to our development!"
Robert said eloquently.
Donnie nodded. Looking at it now, their gains are indeed not small, but the follow-up problems will be more troublesome.
"I don't think Nucky needs to be considered for the time being. After all, his biggest opponent now is the Commodore, not us. On the contrary, the Commodore has been making plans since he returned to Atlantic City, and this person is not as broad-minded as Nucky.
, I am indeed a little worried that he will do something bad to us, just like he did when he arrested you before!"
Robert pondered for a moment and then said: "I feel that our current strength is not strong enough. If the Brigadier really takes action against us, Nucky will most likely continue to sit on the sidelines. After all, it will be more convenient to weaken our strength."
After Nucky takes care of the Commodore, take care of us!"
"So what you're saying is, if possible, we should try to reduce friction with the brigadier general?"
Robert nodded and said: "That's true, but it's very difficult. First, the Brigadier must be very angry about our behavior. If he is not a fool, he must understand that you cannot obey his orders.
Therefore, it is impossible to resolve the conflict with him.
So we should increase our chips!"
Donnie actually thought so on the way back, but he still wanted to listen to Robert's advice.
"What do you think?"
Robert said: "I think we should formally cultivate our own forces. Allman cannot abandon them. At the same time, we should also develop our own people in the security department."
After hearing this, Downey nodded, with a smile on his face. Robert was thinking the same thing.
"There are a few people from the public security department who often come to our pub to drink. I have a pretty good relationship with them. They also took good care of me when I was there before. I think I can develop them into our people!"
Robert continued to preach.
After hearing this, Donnie said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Just tell me how much it costs!"
Robert said: "No problem!"
Seeing that Robert had no other questions, Downey revealed his plan.
"You have to take good care of the next two taverns. I may not have much time to deal with the taverns."
"Is it because of Margaret?"
"Margaret is actually not that important now, but there is always some use in keeping it!" Of course Downey would not delay his plans because of a woman.
"It's not enough to be a member of the public security genus. Although Nucky is already wary of me, I think he will give up his wariness when there is good news that is beneficial to him and is very needed."
Heart, cooperate with us!"
"So, you already have a plan?"
"Of course..."
After talking about this plan, Downey said another thing: "What we are doing now is actually looking for external assistance. What is really important is to make ourselves stronger. Only when we are stronger can we
I can truly ignore the threats from those people, so next I want to build my own hotel in Atlantic City."
Robert was delighted: "Just like when the Commodore ran the street corner in Atlantic City?"
"Yes, that's it!"
Chapter completed!
