"Nucky?"

Robert looked at the name written by Downey, showing an expression of confusion and surprise, and asked: "Do you doubt Nucky?"

"Who is this brigadier general? Are you in the upper echelons of the army?" John also came over at this time. Although John didn't go to school much, he still knew how to read.

Robert explained for John: "The Brigadier General is not the Brigadier General of the army. This is the honorific title given to him by the people of Atlantic City more than ten years ago. Let's put it this way, what is Nucky's status in Atlantic City now? The Brigadier General was in Atlantic City at the time.

What kind of status!"

"If you put it like that, I'll understand!" John said, shaking his head.

Downey and Robert smiled.

Then Downey explained for the two of them.

"I always thought that the information I got from the two killers was a bit too natural, as if they were deliberately leading me to confirm that this matter was done by George Korle, so I was thinking, this matter will

There will be no other inside stories, such as someone trying to deliberately deepen the conflict between me and George Korle!"

Robert instantly understood what Downey meant and said: "In the entire Atlantic City, Nucky is the only one who has the ability and courage to do this."

Donnie nodded.

John still scratched his head in confusion and said: "But why did Nucky do this? If this George Korle really offended Nucky, Nucky could have killed him directly. Why did he have to go through such a big detour and let you

How about hating George Korle, or even taking action against him?"

Robert gave John a blow, which instantly caused John to glare at him. Robert quickly smiled flatteringly and explained for Downey.

"Because the brigadier general's name is Louis Korle, and George Korle is his illegitimate son. Otherwise, how could you think that he, an uneducated person, could have become a company commander as soon as he entered the army, and immediately became the adjutant of security in Atlantic City after retiring?

?"

"The Brigadier is good enough for his illegitimate son!" John murmured softly.

"That's because the Commodore needs George Korle to come to Atlantic City to reclaim his throne for him!" Downey added.

Although the Commodore also has other children, those children are not in Atlantic City and are not interested in the Commodore's Atlantic City empire.

"If that's the case, then there's something I don't understand again!" John had a lot of questions today, and he always felt that his brain was a bit insufficient.

Downey understands his brother and interprets the eight words "simple-minded and well-developed limbs" to the fullest.

But in the future actions, there are still many places where John needs to be used. The only way is to explain the doubts in his heart to him at once.

"Although the Brigadier General has been in prison for many years, not all of his previous team in Atlantic City are gone. Moreover, after the end of World War I, President Wilson, with whom he had a conflict, his domestic reputation has been greatly reduced. It is very likely that he will

Lose in the next general election.

Although Nucky is now the underground emperor of Atlantic City, he still has to be wary of some of the old forces of the Commodore. If the work of the Commodore's son is not solved, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among some people in Atlantic City.

If Nucky really did what I did, then the underlying logic exists. For Atlantic City, I am an outsider with no foundation at all. At the same time, I also had conflicts with George Korle when we were in the army.

I'm going to kill George.

This matter has nothing to do with Nucky, and he can even hand me over to the brigadier general for an explanation.

There is another reason that makes me more inclined to think that Nucky did it, that is, if I was really beaten to death at that time, Nucky could also use this matter to make an issue. He only needs to find familiar media

Announce the conflict between me and George Korle when we were in the army.

With just the slightest hint, everyone will think that George Korle killed me because he wanted to silence me."

"What f*ck!" After hearing Downey's explanation, John couldn't help but uttered the quintessence of American culture and said loudly: "This old guy is so sinister! Just kill him!"

Downey shook his head and said: "Nucky's strength is not what you and I can imagine now, and he is not an ordinary person. The most important thing is that all this is just speculation now, and George Korle himself is also very suspicious."

Robert looked at Downey seriously and asked: "Then what should we do next?"

Downey showed a confident smile: "No matter what the actual intentions of this matter are, what we have to do is not to become a knife in anyone's hands. Even if we choose to become a knife, it is for our own benefit. As for now, we are the first to

What we have to do, of course, is to meet Mr. Nucky. Then it will be clear whether he did it or not!"

"You're going to see Nucky?"

Both John and Robert showed surprised expressions.

Downey nodded naturally and said: "Yes, we will live in Atlantic City in the future. We will inevitably have to deal with Nucky in the early stage. It is always beneficial to get to know him in advance!"

"No, this is too dangerous!" John shouted: "If you must go, I will go with you!"

If you go, I'm afraid Nucky will see the clues at a glance... Donnie shook his head: "I can just go by myself. Nucky is not an ordinary person. He will not use the same method twice. I

Going to see him this time is not just a simple acquaintance, but more importantly, I hope to get his help!"

Robert is smarter than John. At this time, Robert didn't even understand Donnie's words, let alone John.

"Nucky will help you?"

"Nucky meeting you?"

Robert and John both asked questions at the same time.

Regarding these two problems, Downey already had a plan in mind when he spoke out. Seeing that Nucky was not a big problem, whether he could get his help depended on the situation at the time.

As for what kind of help Downey wants from Nucky!

.

The next day!

After an early morning massage and a breakfast that included a quart of freshly squeezed orange juice, half a dozen eggs, and a ham, Nucky changed into a lavender suit and also had a lilac suit tucked into his jacket pocket.

After buying fresh carnations, Nucky began to receive guests in his study.

This has been what Nucky has been doing for several years. Every morning in his study, he meets with various people in Atlantic City who seek his help. Some of these people may be a certain government official or someone.

A businessman in a city, a member of an Atlantic City gang, or even a waiter in a restaurant.

Here, Nucky always tries his best to solve possible problems for them.

In the afternoon, Nucky will leave the hotel and go to the Atlantic City boardwalk, where he will lean on the railing and intuitively experience the entire Atlantic City situation.

Street beggars would come over and get a few dollar bills from Nucky. Some political partisans would seek advice and help. When they saw a shoe shine boy, a flower girl or a newspaper boy, Nucky would pat them on the head affectionately.

, and then give me a dollar or two.

This is Nucky's way of survival in Atlantic City, because he understands that the votes of the poor and the rich are the same. If he can take good care of these poor people, he will be able to get their votes more easily!

Louis had just finished seeing off a guest in the study and came to Nucky's side. Nucky handed him a piece of paper and said: "The weather is getting colder. Remember to prepare food and quilts for the winter.

Clothes, etc!"

Louis nodded and said: "I will make arrangements. When boss you go to the North District to distribute these supplies, I will notify the media to come over!"

Nucky nodded with satisfaction, "Let the next guest come in!"

This time Louis did not leave directly, but said with a strange look: "Boss, the next guest is Donny Bullock!"

Nucky raised his head and the doubts in his gray eyes flashed away, and then he showed an interested expression: "He's back?"

Louis nodded and said: "Yes, I should have come back yesterday."

Nucky smiled and said: "This actually makes me interested in this young man. Let him come in!"

Louis took out a pistol from his waist and loaded it.

Seeing Louis' actions, Nucky smiled and said: "Don't worry, this young man came here at this time, which has already proved that he is a smart person, and smart people will not do stupid things!"

Although Louis nodded in agreement with Nucky's words, he did not relax his vigilance.

Nucky looked at Louis' back blocking the door, smiled, shook his head, and got himself a glass of whiskey.

This was the first time Downey met Nucky, and he discovered that the real Nucky in history had a completely different image from the Nucky in the TV series "Boardwalk Empire", especially the bright bald head.<

/p>

But I have to admit that although the images of the two are completely different, they give people the same feeling. This is a polite gentleman.

Taking off his hat, Downey said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Johnson, I am Downey Bullock, the owner of Korla Tavern!"

"I know you!" Nucky's smile was still refreshing. He sat there and pointed to the chair in front of his desk, saying: "Please sit down!"

"I heard that the Korla Tavern has changed its owner, and the new owner there is a hero who came off the battlefield. This makes me very happy. Atlantic City is a beautiful city, and the hero who chose to stay here is the hero of this city.

Proud!"

Downey smiled and said: "That is a thing of the past. Now I am just the owner of a tavern, a young man who hopes to get help from Mr. Johnson!"

Nucky said: "My friends all like to call me Nucky!"

Downey said kindly: "It is an honor for me to be Mr. Nucky's friend!"

Nucky asked with a smile: "Okay, dear Mr. Bullock, you can tell me your request. If it is within my ability, I will definitely help you!"

Downey was not fooled by Nucky's appearance. It is impossible for a gentleman to become the underground emperor of Atlantic City!

At this point, the confrontation between the two really begins!
