America 1919-Chapter 1763 - 668: Focus

The lobby of the St. Regis Hotel in New York!

Nucky paid no attention to the president of Chase Bank, Cohen Eaton, who was right here.

He referred to those people from Chase Bank as scumbags.

Nate Rothschild looked at Cohen Eaton’s face, alternating between blue and red, and spoke out discontentedly.

"Mr. Nucky, this is the St. Regis Hotel, an esteemed hotel. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Today, all the big figures of New York are here.

Speaking like this, don’t you feel it shows a lack of manners!"

Nucky suddenly turned his head, looked at Nate Rothschild, and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Nate Rothschild.

Although Nucky wasn’t as tall as Nate Rothschild, at this moment, Nucky was staring intensely at Nate Rothschild, with an imposing manner that already overwhelmed the other.

"I know who you are!"

Nucky spoke unceremoniously: "Scumbag from Europe, do you really think this is Europe? People give you respect because of your surname, not because of you personally.

Today, I say this to you, who dares say I’m wrong!

I’ll tear them apart!"

Nate Rothschild had never suffered such humiliation.

Seeing he was about to react, he was stopped by Cohen Eaton, who was trying hard to restrain his anger.

Today is Chase Bank’s banquet, if there’s any commotion here, regardless of the reason, Chase Bank will be embarrassed.

After calming Nate Rothschild’s anger, Cohen Eaton looked at Nucky.

"Nucky, if you intend to stir up trouble on purpose, Chase Bank will accompany you, but today we are entertaining New York’s hosts here.

Now your behavior is disrespectful not only to us at Chase Bank but also to everyone else!"

In fact, Nucky’s behavior at this moment had already attracted quite a bit of attention.

For this situation, many people had a more schadenfreude attitude.

They knew very well that Nucky’s actions now were feelings of dissatisfaction towards Chase Bank’s behavior.

But they did not want to get involved.

Simply because there was no need, although some had partnerships with Venus Bank, and some with Chase Bank.

But they still didn’t want to get involved.

This was also because Nucky’s status was simply too sensitive.

It wasn’t because Nucky used to reign over Atlantic City, but these years, Nucky was like a mogul in New York’s social game.

Nucky was charitable, and among New York’s commoners, he had a very good reputation, while many businessmen in New York had received help from Nucky.

During the Great Depression, many companies faced financial crises.

Under such circumstances, what they could do was no more than seeking loans from banks or borrowing from surrounding friends.

When someone reached out to Nucky, Nucky would always offer his help.

Statistics showed that in recent years, Nucky had lent at least tens of millions of US Dollars.

It was precisely because of such actions that Nucky’s reputation was very high.

If not necessary, no one in New York wanted to offend Nucky.

"Hmph!" Nucky snorted coldly: "If anyone is dissatisfied, they can come to me directly, I’ll handle it!"

Seeing that the conflict between both sides was about to escalate, Bavilev, who had just been provoking Cohen Eaton and others, now persuaded Nucky.

"Mr. Nucky, don’t worry, even if you don’t trust us, you should trust the boss, when have you seen the boss can’t handle things?"

Bavilev’s words brought a brief silence to the lobby of the St. Regis Hotel.

This was equivalent to Bavilev telling everyone.

Chase Bank felt they had achieved a phase victory, but Venus Bank would not easily give up.

This matter is not over yet!

So what exactly is Venus Bank’s counteraction?

Precisely at this moment, members of the Rockefeller Family, Nelson Rockefeller, David Rockefeller, and George Whitney from Morgan arrived at the scene.

Seeing the arrival of forces from both sides.

The tense atmosphere caused by Nucky’s appearance began to ease.

Cohen Eaton and others deliberately ignored Nucky and welcomed everyone into their banquet hall.

Yet Nucky walked in nonchalantly.

In the banquet hall, Walter Sachs from Goldman Sachs and Vatiel Kachins and others had already arrived.

They were holding wine glasses, conversing happily with New York’s dignitaries.

Upon seeing Cohen Eaton and others enter the hall.

Expressions on everyone’s faces became complicated.

Everyone knew that today’s ball was Chase Bank’s declaration to New York and even the United States that they were not inferior to Venus Bank.

As a result, Breton Bank’s president Bavilev also came.

Not only that, but Nucky, sharing honor and disgrace with Atlantic City, appeared too.

More importantly, Rockefeller and Morgan also sent people over.

Everyone truly wanted to see what the attitudes of these people would be!

Some had already heard what had just happened in the hotel lobby.

Everyone was even more curious now.

However, after Cohen Eaton and others entered the hall, they didn’t immediately announce anything.

They merely mingled among the crowd, continuously chatting with New York’s dignitaries.

Thus, the atmosphere in the ballroom became somewhat peculiar.

Cohen Eaton and others moved like butterflies among the crowd.

While Bavilev stood in a corner, taking no actions, but still attracting many people to approach him for conversation.
