America 1919

Chapter 672: 232, King of Atlantic City



If it had been an interview by future generations, "The New York Times" reporters would definitely pay special attention to Atlantic City's oppression of the African Americans in the North District during these two operations, digging up several more incidents of their suffering, and then giving Donnie a somewhat condescending interview.

But in reality, now...

"The King of Atlantic City, he is so kind!"—"The New York Times"

After completing the interview with Donnie, "The New York Times" actually gave him a very high appraisal. The article wrote,

"Donnie Block, in just two and a half years, took over the reins of Atlantic City from Nucky by peaceful means, becoming the undisputed King of Atlantic City.

But this king is kind, even in the face of those insatiable people, he is still kind. Relying on personal charm, Donnie Block conquered the whole of Atlantic City, quelling two potentially tragic bloodshed incidents elsewhere..."

It could be said that the review given in this article was quite high!

Donnie read through it once, the contents of the newspaper, and then put "The New York Times" to the side. As for such praise, Donnie was not worried at all, because if it had been in the East, such reports would definitely be flattery leading to doom.

But in the United States, in today's America, no one would think that such a Donnie was bad. They would only adore him more, because Donnie is a strong man, a universally acknowledged strong man.

What?

Who acknowledges?

Acknowledged by the newspapers, acknowledged by the people of Atlantic City.

Don't you see at this time, outside Surf Hotel, some people are already idolizing Donnie, and others have started petitions wanting to make Donnie the next mayor of Atlantic City.

As for such matters, Donnie naturally did not care.

"Well done, the scenery of Atlantic City has become much more beautiful these days!"

Donnie said with a smile to the three men sitting across from him, Café Jackson, Tyrone Capello, and Joachim Lang.

Café Jackson replied, "Thanks to Tyrone and Joachim this time. Without the two of them, I might still not have found a way to resolve this!"

Tyrone Capello also said, "Kafe is too modest. He has given us a lot of guidance on this matter!"

Donnie waved his hand saying, "Alright, let's skip the mutual flattery. As always, I only look at the results. As for the process, you three are in charge. Just make sure nothing too excessive happens!"

"Understood!" the three answered.

Afterward, Donnie praised them a bit more before letting them leave.

.

"Congratulations, this year's Miss America pageant was more exciting than the past two!"

Backstage in the banquet hall of the Surf Hotel in Atlantic City, Donnie was congratulating Alice, not paying attention to the Miss America contestants changing their clothes.

That evening marked the end of the third Miss America pageant, which was also the first Miss America that Alice served as the executive producer.

Dressed in a white sequined short skirt, Alice's face was flushed with excitement, and she was very pleased with Donnie, who was not staring elsewhere. She smiled and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Donnie reached out, wrapped his arm around Alice's slender waist, and drew her close to him, saying with a smile, "This is a showcase of your own abilities!"

Alice's eyes shimmered with delight; she tiptoed and leaned in close to Donnie's ear, whispering seductively, "I have a private dressing room here!"

Donnie clearly understood Alice's hint. Without saying a word, he simply displayed his intentions by picking Alice up in his arms.

Alice let out a gasp of surprise, followed by giggles of laughter.

The two of them, under the watchful eyes of a dozen Miss America contestants, made their way to Alice's private dressing room, and soon after, sounds of Alice's soft moans emerged from inside, causing the contestants outside to giggle quietly among themselves.

Some even looked at the dressing room with eyes filled with envy!

.

"The King of Atlantic City, should I bow down to you now?"

With the third Miss America pageant over, of course, it was time for a victory celebration. Walker found Donnie at the party and teased him.

Donnie laughed, "Then should I consider bestowing upon you a knighthood?"

Walker bumped Donnie's shoulder, laughing, "You sure don't hold back!"

Donnie swayed slightly, then replied with a smile, "I haven't congratulated you yet for finally getting a hold of the Astor Family's wealth!"

While Donnie was working on settling the issues in Atlantic City, Walker had also launched his final assault on Vincent Astor in New York. With the support of all Astor family members and Astor's business partners, Vincent Astor ultimately gave up his rights reluctantly and handed over the family fortune to Walker.

However, Walker didn't mistreat his half-brother. From the family's foundation funds, he took ten million US Dollars in cash and gave it to Vincent Astor.

"Without your help, this would not have been possible!"

Walker said earnestly.

At this moment, Walker thought back to the first time he had met Donnie. At that time, he just wanted to relax in Atlantic City but never imagined it would change his life. Making him go from being an illegitimate son to the helmsman of the family—all because of Donnie's initial guidance and financial support.

Donnie laughed heartily and said, "If you really thank me, you can take a knee. I think I can handle it!"
