The moonlight was bright, the lights in Atlantic City in front of Downey were twinkling, and occasionally noisy sounds could be heard.

After staying in Elwood Village for a few days, Downey returned to Atlantic City, but this time Downey was not alone. John and Robert were with him.

"This is my address at the Atlantic City Tavern!" Although Downey had told them the location of the Korla Tavern before, for the sake of safety, he still wrote the address on the paper, handed it to Robert, and continued to preach.

"I'm waiting for you in the car. If nothing happens over there, come and call me!"

It's not that Donnie deliberately let the two of them take risks, the main reason is because John and Robert are strangers in Atlantic City. If it is George Korle who is really looking for trouble for him again, then his people will definitely keep an eye on them.

Near Korla Tavern.

John and Robert had no problems in the past. They didn't need to disguise themselves, they were just men who came to Atlantic City to have fun.

The permanent population of Atlantic City at this time is only 40,000 to 50,000, but during the tourist season or on weekends, the population here will instantly increase to 30,000 or 400,000.

"The most important thing is to find out if anyone is secretly watching the tavern!"

Downey gave final instructions.

Robert took the paper, smiled, and said: "Don't worry, can these people compare to those German soldiers?"

Downey nodded, and finally watched the two of them walk straight towards Atlantic City. Downey took out his pistol at this time, raised his legs on the steering wheel, and waited for them to come back.

.

There are countless hotels in Atlantic City, but the most luxurious one must be the Reitz Hotel. The reason why the Reitz Hotel can become the most luxurious hotel in Atlantic City is because someone has rented out the entire rooftop restaurant of the Reitz Hotel.

Here you can overlook the Atlantic Ocean.

In a renovated study room on the ninth floor, a tall, well-proportioned man with broad shoulders was sitting on the sofa. He was wearing a high-end handmade chocolate-colored suit, with a fresh red carnation pinned in the jacket pocket of the suit.

The first impression you get is that this man is a gentleman.

Even though this man has a shiny bald head that does not meet the standards of a gentleman.

This man is known to everyone in Atlantic City. To be precise, he is the underground emperor of Atlantic City - Enoch Johnson, but people in Atlantic City affectionately call him 'Nucky'

!

Nucky was holding a wine glass and was listening to the report of his subordinate, who was none other than Joe Hamilton who was leading the reporter to find Downey.

Of course, Joe also has his own profession, Nucky's backup driver.

"Boss, that Bullock hasn't come back for three days? Are you afraid to come back?"

Joe stood opposite Nucky, with his hands hanging down, and said respectfully.

Nucky shook his wine glass and said absently: "If you don't come back, you won't come back. It was just a casual move at the beginning. The situation will be the same with or without him!"

Joe said nothing, he was waiting for Nucky's next arrangements.

Sure enough, after Nucky finished speaking, he raised his head and asked: "How is George these days?"

Joe immediately replied: "Eat, drink, and take his men to various brothels and casinos in Atlantic City every day!"

Nucky then sat up slightly and said: "It seems that the Commodore has already contacted him and has even returned to Atlantic City. Otherwise, George, an illegitimate son, would not have so much spare money!"

Qiao pursed his lips. He wanted to ask his boss, since his boss was so afraid of the brigadier general, why did he agree to let George become the deputy public security officer in the first place?

Nominally, Nucky is the Finance Minister of Atlantic City, but in fact, any official appointment in any government department in Atlantic City requires Nucky's permission before he can actually join the job. Otherwise, he won't even be able to get a letter of appointment.

To.

Now everyone knows that if the Commodore returns to Atlantic City, he will definitely challenge Nucky's dominance in Atlantic City, but Nucky just agreed to let George Korler become the deputy of the security?

Joe can only bury such questions deep in his heart. If he is the man standing next to Nucky, he is qualified to ask Nucky his questions.

"Okay, let your people leave the vicinity of the Korla Tavern. Downey is a battlefield hero. If he really comes back, he will find this. It will make him even more constrained by then. This is not in line with our original vision.

!"

"Yes!"

Joe nodded, knowing that he could leave now. After bending slightly, Joe left Nucky's office.

After Joe left, Nucky said to the man next to him: "Louis, tell Rivers to follow George well. I want to know all George's movements anytime, anywhere!"

Louis, his full name is Louis Kessel, is Nucky's valet, bodyguard, and first driver. He is five feet five inches tall, as thick as a tree trunk, weighs two hundred and sixty pounds, and has a mustache.

A man whose tips are waxed and shiny.

"Already ordered!"

Nucky smiled happily after hearing this and said: "You always make me so reassured!"

Louis said expressionlessly: "These are what I should do!"

Nucky stood up, and Louis immediately took the top hat hanging on the hanger to Nucky.

Nucky looked more like a gentleman when he put on the hat, and the smile on his face seemed to have never disappeared: "I heard that the 'corner' hotel has been a bit busy recently, so we will go there tonight!"

The 'Corner' Hotel is not just a hotel, but more importantly, there is also a casino here. This casino is not Nucky's property, but it pays Nucky money every month!

The most important thing is that ten years ago, it was the Brigadier General's base, just like the Reitz Hotel was to Nucky!

Hearing that Nucky was going to the 'corner', Louis was worried: "Boss, you just said that the Commodore may have returned to Atlantic City?"

Nucky looked back at Louis and said with a relaxed smile: "It is precisely because he is back that I want to visit. After all, he is also an uncle who watched me grow up!"

Nucky's father, Smith Johnson, was once the Sheriff of Atlantic City and was also the right-hand man of the Atlantic City Underground Emperor Brigadier General at the time. Nucky's first appearance in Atlantic City was to take over his father's position and become the Sheriff of Atlantic City.

.

However, after Nucky became Atlantic City's Treasurer, the position of Sheriff was given to his younger brother, Eli Johnson.

"Boss, you know what I'm worried about!" Louis still didn't take a step.

Nucky smiled and said: "Don't worry, the brigadier general won't be so stupid as to attack me directly!"

After hearing what Nucky said, Louis walked out of the room with Nucky. When they came to the door of the hotel, the adaptor from the Reitz Hotel had already parked Nucky's blue Rolls-Royce.

There.

When Nucky saw the adaption student, he took out a dollar in his pocket and said enthusiastically: "Thank you, Dirk!"

"It is my honor to serve you!"

Dirk bent down and smiled attentively.

Nucky nodded and saw that Louis had opened the back door of the car for him. In the back seat of the car, there was a scantily clad woman smiling seductively at Nucky.

After getting in the car, the woman lay in Nucky's arms. Nucky's big hands had already reached through the neckline of the woman's skirt, but Nucky's eyes were fixed on Louis in the driver's seat.

"Damn it, Louis, I need a private space at this time. Don't you know you have to leave some privacy for your boss?"

Louis turned back expressionlessly and closed the curtains.

.

More than half an hour later, John and Robert met Downey again.

"No one!" Robert said with a smile after seeing Downey: "I also looked around and there were some traces, but there is indeed no one now, and I can guarantee that the other party left before we passed.

!"

Donnie frowned slightly. In fact, the best outcome for him is that there is either someone or no one. The most disturbing thing is the possibility between the two.

John said carelessly: "Never mind this, let's go directly there. If anyone dares to come, just kill them!"

Donnie shook his head. It was better to be safe at this time.

"Let's go, take you to the boarding house!"

Downey decided to go to the city to observe for a night. If nothing happened tonight, he would ask John and Robert to open the tavern tomorrow. If there was still no problem by then, he could go back!

John and Robert did not speculate on Downey's specific reasons. After hearing what Downey said, they got in the car directly.

The three of them soon arrived in Atlantic City. The boarding house was a level lower than hotels and inns, and the cost per night was only 1 US dollar.

During peak tourist seasons and weekends, the price will rise to $2, or 80 cents if you rent for a long time!

Downey only stayed in Atlantic City for two days, and not many people knew him here, so Downey directly rented three rooms in the boarding house opposite Korla Tavern.

There was nothing to say all night. When he woke up the next day, Downey asked John and Robert to take the keys to the Korla Tavern. He pretended to be a tourist and patrolled around the Korla Tavern until Downey thought it would not happen.

When he had any questions, he also walked into the tavern.

"Donny, your place is much better than Block Tavern!"

John had an excited expression on his face after meeting Downey.

Downey just smiled, checked the situation in the tavern, and found that there was no zero-yuan purchase here, which made Downey even more satisfied.

"Are we opening today?" Robert asked as he poured himself a glass of beer at the bar.

Donnie shook his head. As he said before, Korla Tavern will definitely not reopen until Prohibition officially begins.

"No, let's live here first. There are still a few things to do. At the same time, I have to think carefully about who sent those two people!"

Donnie sat on the chair, hoping to clear up all the doubts in his mind before the pub officially opened for business!

After thinking for a while, Downey asked Robert to take out the paper and pen from the bar, and then wrote the names George Korle, Brigadier General, and Nucky on it!
Chapter completed!
