America 1919

Due to the appearance of Alice, Helen lost interest in the place and nodded, "Okay!"

Donnie left the place and found Lanny Cunningham. When Cunningham heard that Donnie was leaving, he wanted to keep him.

"Donnie, is there something here that has dissatisfied you?"

"Of course not, tonight's ball was very successful. It's just that my dance partner, Miss Helen, is feeling a bit unwell, and I need to take her back!"

"Donnie, you really are a very elegant gentleman!" Lanny Cunningham said no more.

But when Donnie stepped out of the Ritz Hotel, he saw Alice already sitting in the car and clinging tightly to Helen, with Helen showing a helpless expression.

Seeing that Helen said nothing, Donnie naturally said nothing either and drove the two of them to Helen's residence.

.

Donnie returned to Block Tavern, and in his office, a man wrapped in white gauze, looking like a mummy, sat on the sofa.

Upon seeing Donnie enter, the man quickly stood up.

Kritch said to Donnie, "It's this guy who said Hubert Lewis intends to hijack our cargo!"

Donnie nodded, sat in his own chair, and asked the man, "What's your name? How do you know Hubert Lewis plans to lay hands on our goods?"

The man replied, "Respected Mr. Block, my name is Randall Heyman, I was previously under Hubert Lewis."

Donnie frowned slightly upon hearing Randall Heyman's situation; he didn't like someone willing to betray their own boss.

However, considering the information the man brought, he still said, "Then how did you come to know Hubert Lewis' plan?"

Randall Heyman hurriedly told Donnie the news he had overheard in Hubert Lewis's office and also shared with Donnie the reasons why he had come to him.

"We've known each other since we were kids. In the beginning, it was just me by his side; I was with him when he took over the first district.

But this son of a bitch, after he became the boss, didn't even spare me a glance and would often humiliate me fiercely in front of the other underlings, and not only that, he even slept with my wife. Normally, I could have pretended none of it happened.

But just a few days ago, just because someone hijacked a batch of bootleg liquor, he nearly killed me. If it weren't for my lucky escape, I might already be meeting God by now!"

By the end, Randall Heyman was nearly hysterical!

Regarding Randall's situation, Donnie didn't care; he just had Steve take him out to rest for a while!

"What do you make of what Randall says?"

Donnie returned to his seat and asked Kritch.

Kritch replied, "I think it's true. Attempting to mess up our arms deal, and the relationship with Graik Miller, all of this is consistent with the information we have.

But the most important thing that makes me believe this man's words is actually the character of Hubert Lewis himself. After you, boss, briefed us on the matter, I specifically had people investigate Hubert Lewis.

The feedback I got confirmed that this man is indeed very deranged. For such a person, doing anything wouldn't surprise me!"

Donnie nodded and said, "Better safe than sorry, so if we want to complete the deal with New York smoothly, then this Hubert can't stay!"

Kritch nodded and said, "I also think so. But this man has a lot of power in Newark. If we make our move, it might lead to some adverse reactions, especially since we have just purchased a batch of firearms from Colt and Springfield!"

Donnie thought for a moment and said, "Go call John. Since it's not suitable for us to step in, then let Meyer's people handle it, after all, we are also delivering goods for Meyer!"

Kritch dialed the phone of John, who was in the Block Tavern in the West District.

Soon, John hurried over, and Kritch relayed Donnie's decision to him.

After hearing it out, John said, "I think this matter should be done in two steps!"

Donnie, leaning back in his chair with his thumb propping his chin, asked, "So, you mean we take care of the guys on the road ourselves and let Meyer deal with Hubert?"

John looked at Donnie in surprise, "How did you know?"

Donnie said resignedly, "Just by looking at that smile on your face just now, I guessed it!"

John immediately made up a reason, saying, "During the national Family Alliance meeting, I had contact with Meyer. I understand the man; he definitely won't do something unprofitable. While it's true we are delivering booze for him, at the same time, we are charging Meyer for transportation.

By the rules, we are responsible for the safety along the way.

If we let Meyer take care of everything, I believe he would definitely find a way to make us reduce some transportation fees."

After hearing John's reason, Donnie looked at Kritch. Although John was his brother, Donnie preferred trusting Kritch in such matters.

Kritch nodded.

After thinking for a while, Donnie said, "Alright, our people will take care of those on the road, and it will also be a good chance to test out the weapons from those two companies!"

"Great!" John immediately exclaimed excitedly, "I'll lead the team this time!"
