"I didn't expect that you would come here!"

Donnie, who was sitting in LeBron's car, heard what he said.

"I heard that Nucky is very optimistic about you. He not only lent you money but also asked you to supply me with goods. Now you come to attend the Commodore's dinner. Aren't you afraid that Nucky will know?"

LeBron James said easily.

Although Downey and he now have a cooperative relationship, in fact, it was Robert who contacted LeBron James during this period, and Downey was not involved.

Downey smiled after hearing this and asked: "I heard that people in the North District speak very directly. Could it be that LeBron, you have dealt with white people a lot and learned the white people's speaking techniques?"

LeBron James, who was already dark, turned even darker after hearing Downey's words... You can't tell it anyway.

"I know that you must still have a batch of wine in your hand. You can sell it to me at a price lower than the price we have agreed upon. I don't have to tell Nucky what happened tonight!"

This is the real reason why LeBron James picked up Downey in the car.

Even his distillery has not officially produced rum and whiskey yet, but he can get a steady stream of wine from Downey, which makes LeBron James think that Downey must still have a lot of it.

Store wine.

Although Downey is now providing him with alcohol, LeBron James also understands that Downey is now an important helper for Nucky to check and balance him.

Naturally, Downey has become his biggest competitor in Atlantic City. LeBron adheres to the principle that the friend of his enemy is his enemy, so Downey is also called an enemy in LeBron's eyes.

Downey leaned against the car window, took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth, then lit it. When the tobacco smoke came out and filled the car, Downey looked at LeBron.

"Nucky has handed over the entire Atlantic City moonshine brewing business to you, and now you also appear at the Commodore's dinner. Aren't you afraid that Nucky will be unhappy?"

LeBron James' face darkened and he said coldly: "The Brigadier General and I are brothers. We have known each other a few years ago!"

Donnie laughed and said, "You shouldn't tell me this kind of thing, but you should think about how to explain it to Nucky!"

A squeak.

LeBron James stopped the car, looked at Downey coldly, and said: "Get out of the car, you will be my enemy from now on!"

Downey got out of the car nonchalantly and walked straight towards the boardwalk without even looking at LeBron James.

With such emotional intelligence, you still want to go against yourself?

When Downey returned to Bullock's Tavern, he saw that the place was already overcrowded, and Robert and John were both busy.

Downey greeted the bar guests all the way to the bar.

"Donny, why is your wine getting worse and worse? This is not the taste of rum we used to drink!"

"Yes, Donnie, you are deceiving your gods!"

Some guests were complaining loudly.

Downey didn't care about the complaints of these people: "The only place in Atlantic City that can drink such pure rum and whiskey is our Block Tavern. If you don't want to, you can go to another pub and try it!"
p>

Downey's words made those who complained resentful, but they had to admit that even though the wine in Block Tavern was not as good as before, it was still the best drink they could drink in the entire Atlantic City tavern.

Got it!

"If that doesn't work, just bring Lolita to Atlantic City. You two are simply too busy here now!"

Donnie preached to Robert who was bartending.

Robert didn't even look at Donnie, and said resentfully: "If you can stay at the pub honestly, we won't be short of manpower!"

Downey spread his hands and said: "Obviously, your suggestion will not stand!"

As Downey begins to enter the center of power in Atlantic City little by little, he will be even busier in the future, and it will be difficult for him to take care of the tavern business.

Robert was not surprised at all and said: "John has already made an agreement with Chris and Magage in the village, and they will also come to Atlantic City in the next two days."

In fact, Downey had already told John before that he wanted him to find more manpower. After all, Downey's current business is not only the Bullock Tavern, but also the brewing and transportation of private wine, which is the most dangerous.

The best is transportation from Elwood Village to Atlantic City.

As for Chris and Maggie, Downey also has an impression. He grew up with John and was John's right-hand man.

When Downey heard that the two of them were coming, he immediately patrolled the entire tavern. Soon Downey found the target he was looking for.

Putting the little fingers of both hands into his mouth, a crisp whistle sounded, which attracted the attention of other guests in the tavern, and Allman also turned around at this time.

Then Allman saw Downey waving to him.

Allman came over with a somewhat complicated mood. He had been entrusted by Eli to call Downey to the hotel and wanted to coerce Downey into handing over his wine. However, Nucky suddenly appeared and asked Allman to

Mann saw the relationship between Downey and Nucky.

This incident made Allman very worried. Although Downey said it was nothing at the time, in the days that followed, Allman invited Downey many times, but Downey rejected them all.

"Dear Downey, what's wrong?"

Arriving next to Downey, Allman asked enthusiastically.

Downey took out 25 dollars from the drawer, handed it directly to Allman, and said with a smile: "Still the same old rules, two Colt 1911s, 50 rounds of ammunition!"

Allman withdrew 20 US dollars, leaving 5 US dollars, and said: "We are already friends, all we need is 40 US dollars!"

Downey naturally took back the $5 and said thank you: "Thank you!"

"Oh!" Allman said exaggeratedly: "Dear Downey, if you are so polite to me, I will be unhappy!"

Downey laughed and patted Allman on the shoulder, "Yes, my friend!"

After Allman left, Robert looked at his back and muttered: "This is the convenience brought by the improvement of social status!"

Downey nodded and said: "Yes, actually there is no relationship between Nucky and I, but the other party just saw Nucky's appearance at that time and thought we were good friends!"

Robert said: "From your words, I heard that the so-called improvement of social status is actually getting Nucky's approval!"

Downey spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "At least at this stage, this is the situation in Atlantic City!"

Robert said: "If Nucky knew that you attended the Commodore's dinner tonight, would your status still exist?"

Although what Robert said was the same as what LeBron James said, Downey smiled happily at this time: "Don't you think Nucky doesn't know about the Brigadier General coming to see me before?"

Robert couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I really don't understand what you people are thinking in their hearts. Why can't I understand the routine?"

Donnie patted Robert's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "You don't need to think too clearly, the things here are very interesting!"

"The more you say that, the more curious I become!"

Robert impatiently served a glass of beer to a customer in front of the bar.

"You guys go check the store, I have something very important to do tomorrow!"

After casually grabbing a bottle of beer from the counter, Downey greeted the others and went up to the second floor.

The next day!

By the time Donnie woke up, John had already left Atlantic City and returned to Elwood Village, first to deliver a batch of wine, and second to pick up Chris and Magage.

"I think we should change our car!"

Seeing that Downey did not leave the pub immediately, Robert sat down in front of Downey.

"Although the previous car has been repainted by LaVine, it will still be troublesome for us if it is recognized by others. Moreover, the current car can no longer satisfy our current needs.

Measure it!"

"Then ask Allman to buy another truck!" Downey said nonchalantly.

Nucky told Louis before about Downey's income during this period, but in fact this income is still inaccurate.

At the beginning, Downey first bought $500 in drinks from William, and later Downey borrowed $1,000 from Nucky. George's death also brought Downey $5,000 in income.

In order to hide the $6,000 from Nucky's sight, Downey directly asked John to drive to Philadelphia to buy the drinks instead of in Atlantic City.

After returning, because Nucky's warehouse was bombed, Donnie asked Carl to use this batch of wine to blend more wine.

To summarize briefly, Downey had at least $20,000 in inventory at that time.

However, in order to paralyze Nucky, Downey just sold nearly 10,000 US dollars in drinks in Atlantic City. The remaining drinks would be used by Downey to slowly sell them at Block Tavern. Don't forget, Downey's basic

It’s a business without capital.

So as of now, Downey already has more than 15,000 US dollars in cash.

Even after deducting Nucky's $1,300, Downey already has $13,700 in cash.

In the United States in 1920, this amount of money was already a huge amount of money!

So now Robert can confidently tell Donnie why he wants to change his car.

"By the way, what do the current guests think of the blended drinks we provide?"

Downey asked.

Robert said easily: "You have seen what happened yesterday, and they have to hold back their opinions. At least no one has died from the drinks in our pub!"

In order to cope with the previous alcohol shortage in Atlantic City, LeBron James urgently made a batch of rum and whiskey blended with industrial alcohol, which also caused several drunkards in Atlantic City to drink to death in the past few days.

The most fearful thing is to compare goods. Although the wine in Block Tavern is indeed not as good as before, at least it is safe!

"If that's the case, then it's no problem!" Downey said without paying much attention. After looking at the time, Downey stood up and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going to see Nucky. You can solve it by yourself at noon today!"
