America 1919-Chapter 1108 - 378. Donnie departs for Washington_3

The demon sneered and said, "Losing power is equivalent to losing life. We’ve offended so many people while in this position. Do you think they’ll let us go once we leave it?"

The angel’s wings were no longer pure white, preaching, "John Garner just wants to use someone to kill. If we do this, even if it’s a success, we will only be at John Garner’s command in the future!"

The demon said coldly, "That’s a matter for the future. What we need to do now is to maintain our current position. Only by holding onto our position can we guarantee other possibilities in the future!"

The angel’s wings grew darker, "But we don’t have anyone we can trust. Do you expect us to do it ourselves?"

The demon said, "The world is never short of desperados. Donnie can’t control everyone. As long as we wish, we can always find suitable candidates!"

The angel’s wings turned completely black, "How do we find them then?"

Edgar Hoover waved his hand, dispelling the demon and angel, "Finding desperados is still quite simple! Yet still, we must make one last effort!"

Edgar Hoover was Edgar Hoover; he was neither angel nor demon. He only trusted his own judgment!

A train slowly pulled into Washington Station!

Donnie disembarked from the train with a group of people!

"Mr. Block, welcome!"

Edgar Hoover, accompanied by Rhode Granger and others, arrived at the station to personally greet Donnie! freewēbnoveℓ.com

"So it’s Mr. Hoover!" Donnie smiled, as if there had never been any unpleasantness with Edgar Hoover before!

Edgar Hoover laughed and said, "Mr. Block, you personally coming to Washington, as a friend, I must be here to welcome you!"

"Thank you!" Donnie expressed gratitude, "Just don’t let my visit interfere with your work, Mr. Hoover!"

Edgar Hoover laughed, "Ensuring Mr. Block’s safety in Washington is my most important job!"

After speaking, Edgar Hoover invited Donnie to ride in his car to Block Manor in Washington!

"My people have already prepared a car, Mr. Hoover, you’d better ride in mine!" Donnie declined Edgar Hoover’s invitation.

Edgar Hoover did not refuse Donnie, following him into his car.

The long convoy drove towards Block Manor in Washington!

Edgar Hoover stayed silent all the way, only expressing his intentions to Donnie once they arrived at the study in Block Manor!

At this moment, Edgar Hoover was deeply regretful, looking like a schoolboy who had done something wrong!

"Mr. Block, regarding the previous matter with William Bailey, I sincerely apologize to you. At that time, I was utterly lost. I hope you can give me another chance!"

While speaking, Edgar Hoover stood opposite Donnie, bowing and speaking very sincerel!

Seeing this, Donnie sat leg-crossed on the sofa, "Mr. Hoover, your previous actions disappointed me greatly, and filled me with anger. You forgot who gave you the power you have now. Now you seek my forgiveness simply because you’ve guessed one of my purposes in coming to Washington this time, and bow to me to maintain your power.

Do you know why, after the radium product hazard event passed, I chose to return to Atlantic City instead of coming to Washington immediately?

That’s because I hoped to see you in Atlantic City, not Washington.

Your actions greatly disappointed me."

Now Donnie looked truly heartbroken, as if genuinely disappointed in Edgar Hoover!

Edgar Hoover watched Donnie’s behavior, listening to his words, and a sense of doubt stirred in his heart. Could Donnie really let bygones be bygones without prejudice? Honestly, Edgar Hoover considered many possibilities before undertaking these actions.

If, immediately upon his apology, Donnie had falsely supported him and said everything was past, without concern, Edgar Hoover would have been certain Donnie wouldn’t let him go.

If Donnie had taken extreme measures, scolding or even physically disciplining him, Edgar Hoover would have recognized it as Donnie venting his anger.

Only this heartbroken approach surprised Edgar Hoover!

Despite myriad thoughts in his mind, Edgar Hoover immediately reacted to Donnie’s words, "Mr. Block, I was wrong. It’s not that I didn’t want to personally apologize to you in Atlantic City; I just couldn’t face you, Mr. Block, and didn’t know how to earn forgiveness for my previous rashness!"

"Forget it!" Donnie waved dismissively, with disappointment: "Let bygones be bygones. From now on, let’s each walk our own path. You voluntarily resign from all your positions in the FBI; the wealth I previously bestowed upon you should be more than enough to ensure your future life’s comfort!"

At this moment, Donnie truly seemed completely disappointed in Edgar Hoover!

Of course, Edgar Hoover hadn’t come all this way for what he heard now!

"Mr. Block, please you must give me another chance!" Edgar Hoover said loudly, "The FBI can only reach its full potential under my leadership; no one else can take over my tasks. Otherwise, wouldn’t it betray your original intention in appointing me as the FBI director!"

Donnie chuckled, "You still remember your initial words; if you remembered them, you wouldn’t have chosen to betray me earlier!"

Edgar Hoover said loudly, "Mr. Block, once more I apologize for past events, but please believe, only through this experience have I realized that staying by your side, Mr. Block, is the choice that allows me to own everything I have now!"
