Trouble after Nucky steps down_4 “`

“Let him in!” Nucky said weakly.

Soon, the squat Herman Olman followed Louis into the room.

“Now, tell Herman everything you know about where those people live, how many there are, who they are,”

Nucky commanded, pointing at Eli Johnson.

Eli Johnson had no choice but to obey his brother’s order once more, playing the traitor and revealing the situation of the two groups to the squat Olman!

“I don’t care how you do it or how many people you use, but tonight, take care of these two groups for me!”

“Nucky!”

Upon hearing Nucky’s decision, Eli Johnson couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.

He thought Nucky at most wanted to teach those people a lesson, but he never expected Nucky actually wanted Olman to outright kill them!

“Shut up!” Nucky shouted again, “I’m doing this to protect you, don’t you understand?

If they don’t die today, then you’ll be the one dying tomorrow!”

Realizing that he could possibly end up dead, Eli Johnson immediately clammed up!

The squat Olman too was shaken by Nucky’s orders, but remembering since he started following Nucky, he had never seen Nucky so furious, Olman knew he had no choice.

Either those people would be killed, or he would become the next sacrifice!

“I understand, boss, don’t worry!”

Nucky nodded, “Make sure there are no slip-ups!”

“Understood!”

.

The next day!

Donnie was sorting out documents when Robert walked in.

“Nucky’s methods are indeed ruthless; those people have all been thrown into the Atlantic by Olman to feed the fish!”

Donnie felt no psychological burden over such matters.

To him, anyone stealing money from his pocket, be they good or bad, ought to be physically eliminated.

“Everyone thinks Nucky is a gentleman, but how could a gentleman become the underworld kingpin of Atlantic City!”

Robert chuckled and nodded.

Donnie said, “Nucky is also showing us his sincerity regarding the matter he spoke of before; since Nucky has shown his sincerity, we need to show some to Nucky too!”

Robert asked, “What do you mean?”

Instead of answering Robert’s question, Donnie dialed the phone number of Hoover, the Director of the Bureau of Investigation.

.

“Boss, just got news; Diesel Mallard and his people just left Atlantic City!”

Louis found Nucky and happily reported the news.

Nucky first looked puzzled, then came to a realization, followed by a bit of helplessness.

Just after he had dealt with a problem for Donnie, the Bureau’s men had left Atlantic City, where they had been investigating him for over a year.

“`

I had thought of countless ways to get rid of these people but to no avail.

Now, Donnie had used less than a day to get Diesel Mallard and others from the Bureau of Investigation transferred away.

“It seems Donnie’s influence is even stronger than we imagined!”

Nucky first spoke helplessly, then turned to Louis and said, “Tell those people to keep it down, stop trying to stir up trouble.

No matter what, my decision won’t change!”

Louis nodded, “Understood!”

.

The disappearance of those who extorted gamblers for money outside of the Surf Hotel quickly spread throughout Atlantic City, although the stories weren’t as bloody.

Everyone received the message that these people had been sent away by Nucky and would no longer come to Atlantic City.

But if you wanted to find any evidence concerning this matter, you definitely wouldn’t be able to!

Regardless, after the news spread, it still caused quite a stir in Atlantic City.

After all, although everyone knew that Nucky had resigned from Surf Hotel to make way for Donnie, they also knew things weren’t that simple.

Now that Nucky personally dealt with those who had tarnished the reputation of Surf Hotel…

or rather, Donnie’s reputation, it clearly demonstrated Nucky’s stance.

Determined!

Such a result naturally left many of Nucky’s former followers feeling helpless.

Especially after they received Nucky’s notification, their helplessness only increased.

By then, they understood, whether they wanted Nucky to step down or not, at least Nucky had made his decision, and no one else could change it!

As the other main character in this affair, Donnie, however, had already arrived at the hospital!

He visited the tourist who, during his most recent trip, had been robbed of gambling money and beaten into hospitalization!

“Mr.

Barry, I am Donnie Block from the Surf Hotel.

I’m terribly sorry that during your visit to Atlantic City, you encountered such unjust treatment.

I am personally very sorry, and I hope you can accept my apologies!”

Barry, wrapped on the hospital bed like a mummy, was somewhat perplexed at the moment.

He knew who Donnie was, but he hadn’t expected Donnie to come see him.

Actually, Barry had already given up on the incident in his heart.

He wasn’t a professional gambler, just someone who played occasionally.

This time coming to Atlantic City, he wanted to see the much-hyped Surf Hotel and experience the atmosphere of Atlantic City.

What he encountered was an unpleasant experience.

Just a second before Donnie’s arrival, Barry had made up his mind: he would never set foot in Atlantic City again!

“Mr.

Block, although I won’t come to Atlantic City in the future, since you came over today, I still want to say, if there are many situations like mine, it would definitely be bad for Atlantic City!”

Donnie nodded, “I am aware of that, so those who tarnished Atlantic City’s reputation have been driven out of the city and will never be able to return to Atlantic City again!”

At that point, Donnie paused, and Steve Cotting timely pulled out ten thousand US dollars from his pocket, handing them to Barry, who was laying on the bed, “No matter whether you come to Atlantic City in the future, Mr.

Barry, our city still has to pay the price for what happened, and I think this money should cover all your losses!”

Barry looked at the ten thousand US dollars on his body, somewhat in disbelief.

He had only been robbed of a little over one thousand US dollars…

“Mr.

Block, this is too much!”

“It’s not too much.

No amount of money can make up for the physical and emotional trauma you have suffered, Mr.

Barry!”

Donnie’s maneuver completely won Barry over.

As for his earlier decision, he had long forgotten it.

After his condition improved, not only did he not leave Atlantic City, but he dived right into the Surf Hotel…

The outcome was…

not only did he lose all ten thousand US dollars Donnie gave him, but in the end, he also became a homeless wanderer on the streets of Atlantic City…

So you see…

capitalists are no saints!
