41. Downey’s influence
Just when Isiah finished speaking and was about to take action, a strong hand grabbed his wrist, preventing Isiah's hand from moving forward at all. The huge pain from his wrist made it even more frustrating.
Isiah screamed directly.
"It hurts, it hurts! Let go, let go, let go!"
Downey immediately shook off Isiah's hand, and the other party staggered back a few steps. Isaiah, who had left Downey's control, looked at Downey angrily.
"Who dares to interfere with my affairs in the West District!"
After saying this and waving, his men immediately prepared to step forward.
"My name is Donnie Bullock!"
Downey stood in front of Margaret and looked at those people coldly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
After hearing Donnie's name, Isiah ignored the pain in his wrist and hurriedly stopped his younger brother. He looked at Donnie in horror and confirmed.
"Are you Donny Bullock from Bullock's Tavern?"
"That's right!"
Danny nodded slightly and said confidently.
Now Downey is no longer a nobody in Atlantic City. Half of the alcohol supply in Atlantic City comes from Downey. Based on this alone, even people like Isiah don't know that Downey has united with the Ku Klux Klan.
An organization like WCTU is enough to make Isiah afraid to sneer in front of Downey.
To put it bluntly, Isiah is a gangster with some connections in Atlantic City. Such a person may not have much power, but he is very well-informed.
In his previous life, when Downey had not yet ascended to a high position, he often dealt with people like this. Naturally, he knew such people very well, so he stood calmly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Bullock. I'm so sorry. I didn't know you and Margaret were... good friends, good friends!"
Isiah immediately put on a flattering smile, just like the smile he had when facing AJ in his casino.
Downey knew that although people like Isiah couldn't do anything big, they were good at collecting information, so he didn't bully him, he just put on a smile.
"Okay, now that you know, let's talk about why you are here?"
"Nothing, nothing, it's just a small misunderstanding, let's leave now!" When he said this, Isiah's heart was bleeding. He was just a small casino owner, and his daily income was limited. He lent it to Dennis one after another.
Nearly 50 US dollars, which is not a small amount of money for him.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's even more important to make it clear." Downey didn't let Isiah leave. After all, he knew what happened at Dennis' Tavern.
Seeing what Downey said, Dennis didn't hide anything, and directly told Downey everything about Dennis borrowing money from him and mortgaging Margaret to him.
Downey's expression didn't change at all, but after Margaret, who was standing behind Downey, heard what happened, she couldn't stand. If Downey hadn't turned back to support her in time, Margaret would have
Gretel almost fainted and fell to the ground.
"I gave you this money!" Downey supported Margaret with one hand and took out his wallet from his jacket pocket with the other hand and handed it to Dennis: "Take the money yourself and don't mix up the amounts!
”
Dennis looked at Downey in surprise. In his heart, Downey was now the most powerful figure in Atlantic City, a more terrifying existence than AJ. He was so easy to talk to and wanted to give him money?
For a moment, Dennis wanted to cry. It had been a long time since he had seen such a refined boss in Atlantic City!
"Yes, yes, Mr. Bullock, don't worry, I don't dare to take more than one cent!"
With excitement and trembling hands, Donnie took out $45.50 from his wallet!
Then he handed the wallet to Donnie with respectful hands.
After taking the wallet, Downey said calmly: "I gave you the money this time, but I won't give it to you next time. And you have to remember that from now on, Dennis is Dennis and Margaret is Margot."
Litte, she has restored her surname, so if Dennis borrows money from you again, it will be your business!"
"I understand, I understand, I understand!" Isiah nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Bullock, I know how to do it!"
After saying that, Isiah left without looking back, without even looking at Margaret in Donnie's arms, whom he had missed for a long time.
But there is envy for Margaret in my heart.
This bitch is going to soar into the sky!
She actually got attached to a big shot like Donny Bullock. It seems that she will leave the West End soon!
After Isiah left, Downey helped Margaret, who had not yet recovered, back to her residence, and helped Margaret pour a glass of boiled water.
"I, I never want to see him again!"
After calming down her emotions, Margaret said firmly.
Downey smiled and said: "Well, didn't you hear just now that Dennis has been taken away by AJ. According to AJ's character, it is really not easy for you to see him again!"
After a while, Margaret finally regained her composure, but she still cried and said something to Downey. It wasn't until night that she remembered to make dinner for Downey!
After this incident, Downey lived directly in Margaret's home and moved out of the Bullock Tavern.
During this period, Downey also went to WCTU to give a speech. With Elena's advance campaign and the sympathy within the WCTU for Margaret's incident, Downey easily became the most popular man within the WCTU.
.
Even if this man is the owner of a tavern, it goes against their purpose.
Downey also showed his gentlemanly side in WCTU. Every woman who came to him for help would get help from Downey.
Through these women's mouths, the name Donny Bullock began to appear frequently on the dining table of every family in Atlantic City.
In just one week, Downey became a celebrity in Atlantic City.
This is exactly one of the goals that Downey hoped to achieve when he contacted Margaret before.
"Behold, our friend of women has returned!"
When Downey walked into Block Tavern tonight, he instantly aroused ridicule from many people in the pub.
"Donnie, you really should persuade the woman in our family. Her mind is no longer at home. She used to prepare dinner every day and wait for me to come back. But first, I haven't had a bite of hot food for several days.
Dinner!"
Americans attach great importance to dinner. They believe that dinner time is the best time for the family to get together.
"Donnie, my family member asked me to express my gratitude to you. It was you who provided us with coal in time, which allowed our family to survive this winter smoothly!"
Even if his family has no money to buy coal to survive the last few days of winter, this man will still come to the Bullock Tavern for a drink every day!
Facing the greetings from these people, Downey answered them one by one until someone shouted.
"Donny, the pub next door has countless women walking through it every day. When will our Block Tavern have such a service? I heard that other pubs in Atlantic City are also preparing to provide such a service!"
Downey stopped, looked at the man, and then smiled: "I know you, Bruce Carey, your wife has submitted an application to WCTU and is ready to work at Block Tavern. Then there will be women here!"
”
Bruce Carey's face suddenly turned red. In fact, the news that Brock Tavern is about to recruit a group of women to work here has already spread. Everyone is actually very supportive of Brock Tavern's move, even if they know these women.
Already married!
A wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a prostitute, and a prostitute is worse than a thief.
Such a man's psychology does not distinguish between East and West, and being a thief is every man's ultimate dream.
It is a very exciting thing to think about teasing a married woman in a dark pub.
So almost every day, people ask Downey when will women come to work here.
Now Downey told them, but when Bruce Carey learned that his wife was coming, his face suddenly turned red.
This is so angry!
Other people’s wives are okay, but your own wife is absolutely not okay!
"No, Downey, you must not agree to her request. I will never allow such a thing to happen!"
Bruce Carey stood up and shouted loudly.
Donnie spread his hands indifferently and said: "Recruitment in our tavern is open, fair and fair. As long as the other party wants to come and meets our tavern's recruitment conditions, I can't refuse them, so Bruce, if you don't want your wife to come,
It’s best to go home and persuade your wife now, and don’t forget to pay the wine bill before you leave!”
Bruce Carey didn't dare to be arrogant like Downey here, so he threw down a banknote viciously, and then angrily rushed out of the tavern amidst the laughter of other guests in the tavern!
"Donny, you made us 50 cents less. From my experience, Bruce will drink at least one more glass of whiskey!"
John said helplessly to Donnie.
Downey said nonchalantly: "Dear John, don't worry, didn't you see that when everyone heard that Bruce Carey's wife was coming here to work, many customers ordered an extra glass of whiskey?"
p>
As long as things don't fall on one's own head, everyone will just watch the fun and not take it too seriously.
John nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, I just discovered it!"
Downey did not talk about this matter again, but said to John: "Go and call Robert, I have something to tell you!"
When John saw Donnie's expression, he knew it was serious business and asked, "Is it about planning to build a hotel?"
Downey smiled and said: "How is it possible? It would be great if the preparations for building the hotel can come to fruition within a year!"
John didn't know why, but he went next door and called Robert over.
Chapter completed!
