The brigadier sat down unceremoniously, his eyes slowly swept across the entire tavern, and his steady voice sounded again.

"Except for the name change, nothing else has changed! That idiot George actually gave this place to you, you should be damned."

Downey sat at another table and looked at the Commodore. If he wanted to say who Downey didn't want to see the most in Atlantic City right now, then the Commodore would definitely rank first.

After all, I designed to kill his illegitimate son.

"I have heard the legend of Mr. Brigadier General when I was very young. I wonder why Mr. Brigadier General came here today?"

At this time, Downey's expression did not change. Although he had mentioned the top level of caution in his heart, he still acted very calmly.

The brigadier's tone was always so gentle. He did not answer Donnie's words, but continued to talk to himself: "I remember that not long after I opened the corner, I opened the Korla Tavern here. I wanted to

It has been passed down forever, but I didn’t expect that idiot George to give it to you!"

Downey said nothing this time, as if he was really waiting for the Brigadier to miss his past.

John sat next to Donnie and put one hand in his pocket, where the pistol was.

After waiting for a while, the Brigadier seemed to have finished remembering the past, and then he continued to say unhurriedly: "I heard that George wanted to take back this place?"

Donnie nodded and said, "That's right. What's sad is that just when I was about to leave, he was killed!"

The brigadier general nodded, with a little sadness on his face: "Although George is a fool, he is my son after all. I still have to do what he has not finished!"

Downey's frown disappeared briefly, and then he smiled and said: "Of course, if you want to take back this place, Mr. Brigadier, we can leave immediately."

After walking into the tavern and looking at Downey for the first time, this was the second time the Brigadier looked at Downey seriously, and then said with a slight smile.

"I thought you wanted to refuse!"

Downey replied calmly: "I can't imagine anyone in Atlantic City who can refuse your request, Mr. Commodore!"

"Haha!" The brigadier general let out a hearty laugh for the first time, and then said: "Forget it, I have heard George say it many times. You two are very good friends on the battlefield. Not only that, you are also on the battlefield.

I have saved his life, but I am old now. Atlantic City is the world of you young people. Since this place has been given to you, I might as well leave it to you!"

"Thank you, Brigadier General, for your generosity!" Downey said gratefully.

The brigadier general continued: "I heard that when you were on the battlefield, you cooperated very happily with the British?"

Donnie nodded and said, "That's true. We made a lot of friends there."

The brigadier general nodded slightly, showed a satisfied smile, and once again talked about the topic of his old age: "I am already old, and there is no one else around me to accompany me. As George's good friend, I hope that when you have time,

You can come to my home and visit me, an old man!"

Downey showed a just right smile and said: "If this is the case, I will be honored!"

The brigadier general nodded again, then stood up again with the help of a cane, and said: "Just in time, there will be a dinner party at my home tomorrow night, and you can bring your female companion over then!"

"Thank you, Brigadier General, for the invitation. I will definitely attend the appointment on time!"

Downey also stood up at this time and sent the Brigadier out of the Bullock Tavern.

After the brigadier general got in the car and left here, John breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "What does this old guy mean? He came here and said something? Could he know what we did, and then thought

He wants to trick you into his residence and then kill you?"

"If he really knew the truth of the matter, he wouldn't come to see us like this!"

Downey said to John with a complicated expression: "The plan to make money safely may have come to nothing, and we will be in trouble from now on."

At this point, Downey preached with some hope: "But this time, it may also be an opportunity for us!"

John's brain was as big as a squirrel's and there was no way he could understand what Donnie meant, but Donnie didn't explain anything to John.

He needs to go back to his room and think about tonight's situation.

Although the Commodore's current power in Atlantic City is no longer comparable to Nucky's, it is still beyond the reach of Downey. Therefore, if the Commodore really knows that George's death was his own design, then the Block Tavern must have already

Pierced by countless bullet holes.

Now the other party came to the door in person and said some vague words. In fact, it was simply that with the death of George, the Brigadier General no longer had anyone in Atlantic City who could lead the charge.

And what about myself!

With the beginning of Prohibition, there was a steady stream of alcohol in hand to sell to other people, and Nucky's appreciation for him, it was impossible not to let the Commodore notice him.

"These people should have investigated their own situation clearly. It seems that Karl has to find another one as a backup in addition to the fixed brewery. If one of them has a problem, there is another one that can continue to provide supply.

Wine."

Whether it was Nucky's previous appreciation for him or the Brigadier's current recruitment of him, Downey actually knew in his heart that the other party just wanted to make him a knife in their hands.

And it’s a knife that can be thrown away at any time.

So after Downey learned that they had a better understanding of his situation, he naturally had to prepare more escape routes!

"The Brigadier came here so blatantly today. I think this matter will soon reach Nucky, who has been paying attention to him. What will Nucky do then?"

Thinking of this, Downey actually had some expectations. If Atlantic City was a calm lake, it might actually be very difficult for him to get ahead. After all, under such circumstances, the powerful figures in Atlantic City had already reached an agreement.

To achieve a perfect balance, they themselves are an interest group.

For outsiders, they are absolutely not allowed to exist.

At this moment, Donnie suddenly felt like a scumbag, trying to satisfy the Commodore and Nucky. In the future, if something happens, the elder brother will be the elder brother, and the younger brother will be the shorter one. As long as nothing happens, we will be ordinary friends. I thought you

You understand my thoughts. I didn’t expect you to be so vulgar. You just care about my body.

Sure enough, just as Downey thought, Nucky already knew about the incident before the Commodore arrived at Bullock's Tavern.

"I didn't expect that Downey would become such a popular person that even the brigadier general went to find him personally!"

After Nucky listened to Louis' report, he leaned on the sofa, looking a little dazed. It was obvious that he was still awake from the hangover from last night.

Seeing Nucky's appearance, Louis poured him a cup of coffee, and then said: "Boss, Downey is just the owner of a tavern. In Atlantic City, there are people like him who don't have one thousand or eight hundred. How could the Brigadier General do that?"

If you notice him, could there be a connection between them before this?"

Nucky shook his head confidently and said, "No, if the two of them were connected, George wouldn't have gone to him to take back the tavern."

Having said this, Nucky looked at Louis and asked: "Do you know why I think so highly of Donnie?"

Louis replied without thinking: "Because boss, you said before that Downey is a very smart person with some means!"

Nucky nodded and smiled: "This was just my previous evaluation of him, but now Downey has done something that is worthy of my evaluation!"

Louis looked at Nucky in confusion and asked, "What did he do?"

Nucky didn't answer and asked instead: "Do you know who made the most money when Prohibition was not implemented in Atlantic City this time?"

"Of course it's you, boss!" Louis answered neatly.

Although Nucky's warehouse was bombed, causing him to lose a lot of stored alcohol, but in any case, Atlantic City is no longer prohibiting alcohol this time. For Nucky, there will definitely be a gold mine waiting for him to dig in the future.

Nucky waved his hand and said: "You are talking about the future, I am talking about now, and now the person who makes the most money from this matter is actually Donny Bullock.

According to the data you submitted earlier, yesterday alone, the retail sales of Downey's Bullock Tavern, as well as the wine purchased from him in taverns, brothels, boarding houses, and hotels, were already nearly 10,000 US dollars. If

Speaking of which, Downey had already hoarded all these wines before this, so he has earned at least 4,000 US dollars at this time!"

"10,000 US dollars? 4,000 US dollars?"

Louis was shocked by these two numbers. Although these data were sent by him, they were sent by others in written form, so Louis did not read the data.

"How is this possible? Downey just borrowed $1,000 from you, and where did he get so much wine?"

Nucky chuckled and said: "That's why I said this incident just reflects Nucky's cleverness. I think the fundamental reason why he came to me to borrow money before was not that he really wanted to borrow the $1,000, but more that

He wanted to get to know me, and he lied to us before that he wanted to buy a pub, but in fact he was buying wine in other places. This trick even fooled me at the time!"

When Louis heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Boss, if this is the case, we can't let Downey go to the Brigadier's side!"

Nucky still said confidently: "Don't worry, didn't I say it? Donnie is a smart man. Since he is a smart man, he knows how to choose. If you don't choose me in Atlantic City, choose the Brigadier General. This will

It makes me think that everything he did before was guided by others!"

Louis was still a little worried and said: "But what if the brigadier general made him an offer he couldn't refuse?"

Nucky smiled calmly and said: "The Commodore will not place all his hopes on Downey, so the conditions he can give Downey will definitely not be something we cannot match!"

At this point, the smile on Nucky's face disappeared, and he said somewhat seriously: "But your worries are not unreasonable. Let people keep an eye on Downey. If he really makes a bad choice, then this

There is no need for people to stay!"
