America 1919-Chapter 857 - 293, Intervention in Elections_2

Seeing the confusion on Adam Hughes’s face, Donnie smiled and said, “Many of these are speakeasies that have just been established not too long ago!”

Meeting with Adam Hughes is not the first step in Donnie’s plan to acquire the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium, nor was meeting with the Warburg brothers.

Donnie’s first step was actually to establish unregistered speakeasies and illicit liquor distilleries in Philadelphia in collaboration with Salvatore Bella, precisely for this meeting with Adam Hughes.

Yes, supporting Adam Hughes to become the Mayor of Philadelphia is necessary, but there is no need to give up too many of one’s own interests… Salvatore Bella’s interests are Donnie’s interests!

Adam Hughes also understood Donnie’s intention, but there was no displeasure, what he wanted was to make a big impression in front of the Philadelphia people, and as for the details, they were irrelevant!

“Thank you, Mr. Block!”

Adam Hughes once again showed his gratitude to Donnie.

Donnie then called Steve Cotting; in Steve Cotting’s hands, there was a box.

Donnie said, “There’s $300,000 inside this, to support your mayoral campaign. Besides, I’ve secretly opened an account for you at Breton Bank with another $300,000 in it. You can give this money to your campaign team and let them hype up this affair for you!”

This time, Adam Hughes couldn’t keep still, he stood up right away, “Mr. Block, for your generosity, I can no longer express my gratitude in words!”

At this moment, Donnie also stood up and shook hands with Adam Hughes: “No thanks needed, just don’t forget what happened here today after you become Mayor of Philadelphia!”

“Of course!”

Adam Hughes said earnestly.

Donnie had no doubts about Adam Hughes’s words; after all, having accepted Donnie’s sponsorship for this matter, Adam Hughes had been deeply branded by Donnie. If he were to burn bridges after crossing, no one would support his political campaign in the future!

Like Paul Warburg, Adam Hughes was in a hurry, leaving right after meeting with Donnie to return to Philadelphia.

Donnie then went to a Diamond Hall at the Surf Hotel.

Inside the Diamond Hall, Philadelphia’s underground emperor, Salvatore Bella, had a cigar in his mouth and was sitting with two Bunny Girls, excitedly looking at the poker cards in his hands!

“It seems like you’re not having much luck today!”

Looking at the chips accumulated in front of Salvatore Bella, Donnie teased directly.

“Haha, if I’m not lucky today, I’ll be lucky tomorrow. I’m confident that I will win this hand!”

Salvatore Bella laughed loudly.

Donnie chuckled and said, “There are many people who say the same thing every day in the Surf Hotel, but very few of them win money!”

Salvatore Bella grumpily responded, “Donnie, by saying that, aren’t you worried that your guests won’t come here anymore?”

Donnie gestured dismissively, “Why should I worry? In fact, everyone knows that I am very happy when gamblers win big money here because their stories will bring in more customers!”

Salvatore Bella irritably threw away his poker cards; he had clearly lost this hand.

Seeing this, Donnie laughed out loud, got ten thousand U.S. dollars’ worth of chips from the dealer — after all, just going against Salvatore Bella would do the trick. Yes, at this moment, Donnie simply used Salvatore Bella as a beacon.

After a few rounds, Donnie earned a few hundred dollars, while Salvatore Bella lost thousands, and the frustrated Salvatore Bella quit the game.

Donnie laughed and distributed the chips he had won to the Bunny Girls in Diamond Hall, then left with Salvatore Bella.

In a private booth, Donnie and Salvatore Bella sat alone.

“Thank you for this time, I’ve deposited that money into your account at Breton Bank!”
