America 1919-Chapter 377 - 161. The New York State Governor’s election_4

Donnie also wanted to see if, with his support, young Theodore Roosevelt could indeed change history and become the Governor of New York State.

After all, Donnie’s current identity was that of a staunch Republican, and even if he didn’t support Theodore Roosevelt, once Al Smith came to power, he would certainly take action against Donnie.

Instead of that, it might be better to try to push Theodore Roosevelt into that position.

High risk represented high returns!

Theodore Roosevelt wanted none other than Donnie’s assurance, and although the Roosevelt Family remained one of the top families in the United States, when it came specifically to the election for New York State Governor, Donnie indeed had a lot more help to offer them!

Sure enough, Theodore Roosevelt was very happy after hearing what Donnie had to say.

"By the way, I heard from some friends after I arrived that Taft is also in Boise City, why don’t we all sit down and talk in the next few days?"

This is where you’re wrong. I am now opposing history for your sake, and you actually want to ruin me?

Donnie spoke with a smile, "That’s possible, but the match is about to start, so I think it’s best to wait until after the match to find an opportunity!"

Theodore Roosevelt, aware that Donnie must be busy with many things these days, didn’t think much of it and laughed as he agreed.

Alice stole a glance at Donnie, she knew all too well that Donnie would certainly not let Theodore Roosevelt meet Robert Taft under the current circumstances.

The following process was the same as the one Donnie had with Robert Taft yesterday.

After the formal dinner was concluded, Donnie, Walker, and Theodore Roosevelt went to another upscale tavern in Boise City...while Robert Taft was still enjoying the good life in the previous tavern with Brad Dorn’s company!

.

"Alright, it’s unlikely they will meet before the match!"

Donnie sat on the sofa in his room, taking a deep breath of relief.

Robert sat on another sofa, laughing as he said, "It’s only a temporary safety measure; sooner or later, they will find out about this!"

Donnie waved his hand, "Sooner or later is much better than knowing now. This is something we’ll have to take one step at a time!"

Robert didn’t say much more to Donnie about this matter, as, strictly speaking, this was Donnie’s personal affair.

"Starry Entertainment just called, saying all the tickets for the fight between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti have sold out!"

Saying this, Robert expressed his surprise, "Although you had said before that this match would cause a huge uproar, I still did not expect that this boxing match could create history!"

Before this, no boxing match in the United States had ever been staged in an outdoor stadium; the match between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti could be said to have set a precedent for US boxing to be held in outdoor stadiums.

"Have you talked to the police station in Boise City?"

Donnie inquired of Robert.

The match tomorrow at Boyle Stadium would attract seventy-five thousand spectators, and security was a major issue. Donnie did not want any mishaps!

Robert nodded, "It’s all set up; they will deploy all their police force tomorrow to ensure the safety of the match!"

Donnie nodded in satisfaction.

As Donnie and Robert were discussing the details of tomorrow’s match, something happened in Los Angeles.

Julian Weber sought out Joseph Adizoni.

"We’ve just received a bet at our book for George Caponti to win the first round!"

Joseph Adizoni, holding a girl in his arms, said with some displeasure, "Do you have nothing better to do, bringing me such trivial news? Just follow the rules we set before: wipe them out!"

Julian Weber cautiously said, "It’s just that this bet is quite large, a whole 50,000 US Dollars!"

For the first-round match-up between George Caponti and Jack Dempsey, the odds for George Caponti’s victory were 1:5, meaning if George Caponti won, Joseph Adizoni’s side would have to pay out 250,000 US Dollars.

"Moreover, I’ve noticed something unusual: the money betting on George Caponti to win lately has been abnormal. In total, nearly 300,000 US Dollars have been placed on George Caponti to win!"

Joseph Adizoni didn’t care about 50,000 US Dollars, nor did he mind 250,000 US Dollars, but if it were 1.5 million US Dollars, then Joseph Adizoni couldn’t ignore it.

Even though Joseph Adizoni’s annual earnings were in the millions, his expenses were equally high. To maintain his status and influence as a gang leader, he had to spend money lavishly, not to mention that Joseph personally lacked financial acumen.

Hence, he didn’t have much cash on hand!

That was another reason why he wanted to be a bookmaker on his own.

"Do you know who the other party is?"

Julian Weber replied, "The retail investors couldn’t trace who it was, but the 50,000 US Dollars today was placed by Max and his associates!"

"Max?" An image of a young boy immediately came to mind for Joseph Adizoni.

"I was wondering who it was; turns out it’s that lucky kid!"

Julian Weber continued, "This group, Max and his friends, gained some strength after they disappeared suddenly last time and then reappeared. They’ve even connected with the Matte Galan gang, selling them some alcohol. I didn’t expect they could come up with 50,000 US Dollars all at once!"

That’s why Joseph Adizoni referred to Max as the lucky kid.

He thought Max, like many other small-time punks in Los Angeles, wouldn’t last long before ending up dead in some foul-smelling alley, yet unexpectedly, the other party slowly made progress!

"If it’s that kid, there’s no need to worry. He wants to give us his money, so let’s just accept it!"

Joseph Adizoni said nonchalantly, fully confident that he could keep Max under his control.

Julian Weber asked, "With so much money coming in, shouldn’t we adjust the odds?"

Joseph Adizoni waved his hand, "No need. The more people who bet, the more money we make, right? Don’t worry, no one in Los Angeles can make waves without our consent!"

Seeing Joseph Adizoni so confident and considering the strength of their gang in Los Angeles, Julian Weber said no more.

This led to the afternoon of the same day and the next day seeing several more bets placed on George Caponti to win the first round, but Julian Weber didn’t report this to Joseph Adizoni anymore!
