America 1919-Chapter 403 - 168, this cup is in honor of Mr. Block (a Chapter of ten thousand words, continuing to pay off the debt~)_6
Hunter Kayo and Sodom Hall exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes. They knew that Donnie would definitely have his own arrangements, but they did not expect that even the agents from the Bureau of Investigation had been bought by Donnie!

"Donnie, you’ve made too much of a fuss this time, and the pressure on me is also great!" Discover exclusive tales on novelbuddy
At that moment, Donnie received a call from Hoover, the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Investigation.
Hoover’s political career had changed. After Harry D’Agostino became Attorney General, through Donnie’s operations, Hoover had joined the Bureau of Investigation in advance and assumed the position of Deputy Director.
"Hoover, you should know that I did not put you in that position simply because I admire you a lot!"
Donnie sat in his office, not taking Hoover’s words to heart. Although Hoover was now in an alliance with Donnie, Hoover was a highly control-driven person who often wanted to take the leading position in such cooperation.
With a calm tone, Hoover said, "I’ve given a heads up to the agents sent to the three big oil fields. They won’t really investigate anything serious about this matter. You can rest assured!"
Donnie chuckled softly, "Of course, I’m reassured. I’ve never doubted your abilities!"
Hoover continued, "However, you still have to be careful. Those people definitely have their own connections. If they use other people to investigate this matter, there’s nothing I can do!"
At present, Hoover was still only the Deputy Director of the Bureau of Investigation. Although he was the most powerful deputy director, there was still a Director above him, as well as several other deputy directors at the same level.
Simply put, Hoover had not yet fully controlled the Bureau of Investigation.
"Don’t worry, for things I have not done, even if others investigate and find something, it has nothing to do with me!" Donnie’s consistent response to anyone was that this matter had nothing to do with him!
Hoover, too lazy to say more about it, only commented, "Now, your chances of winning have increased compared to before. I think you should still sit down and have a talk with those people!"
Donnie said somewhat dissatisfied, "I naturally have my arrangements for this matter."
Hoover then hung up the phone.
That night, when Donnie received a reporting call from Robert, Donnie cautioned him, "Hoover from the Bureau of Investigation is not easy to control, and he will surely be secretly gathering evidence against us. So don’t trust the people from the Bureau of Investigation too much!"
Robert said, "I know."
Afterward, Donnie listened to Robert’s report on some matters in Cafe Town, and the two hung up the phone.
Regarding the situation at the Bureau of Investigation, Donnie decided to wait a while longer. Wait a few more years, when the people he had arranged began to take power in the Bureau. Then he wouldn’t have to be so concerned about Hoover’s attitude!
After thinking for a while, Donnie believed it was time to prepare for the second step of his plan.
Originally, Donnie had thought of peacefully coexisting with these oil companies without interfering with each other. But since the other parties wanted to cause trouble, Donnie naturally had to hit these people hard, all at once.

"They want to see business tactics, then let them have a good look at what business tactics are!"
Donnie dialed Andrew Mellon’s phone... When everyone was skeptical of him, Donnie did not compromise at Andrew Mellon’s, but now for the second step of the plan, Donnie believed that Andrew Mellon would definitely be very interested.
This could also ease the relationship between both parties, especially since Andrew Mellon had also called to ease relations with Donnie when his first step of the plan was completed.
The world of business is both a realm of cutthroat actions and a place of human relationships and social etiquette!
.
Donnie had already started preparing for his counter-offensive plan, but the four big oil companies had already been rattled by Donnie’s first step of the plan!
Today, they received calls from the three big oil fields and learned about the incident at the Lu oil field.
It was only then that they truly began to panic.
Could Donnie really have such a good relationship with the local police?
"How much money did Donnie give to these people? They actually disregard the laws of the United States to help him?"
Harry Sinclair, who had obtained oil fields through illegal means, angrily condemned Donnie’s illegal behavior at this time.
"Bootlegging!"
Edward Doheny, however, had figured it out, "Donnie’s bootlegging business has spread across the nation. To ensure his bootlegging business expands smoothly nationwide and is not subject to local police and Bureau of Investigation scrutiny, Donnie’s business must surely involve these people!"
Hearing Edward Doheny’s explanation, the rest of them finally came to a realization.
"Do we really have no way at all?" James O’Neal asked angrily.
"Pay them!" Harry Sinclair exclaimed loudly, "Isn’t it just money that keeps Donnie’s relationships intact? We’ll pay as well. If Donnie gives fifty thousand, we’ll give a hundred thousand. I refuse to believe these people would pass up the money!"
Edward Doheny at this point was somewhat disheartened about the fight against Donnie. He could no longer see any hope of winning.
"It’s no use. Donnie has a long-term cooperation with them. As long as Prohibition is in place, these people will continually benefit from Donnie. They aren’t stupid, they won’t fail to see this. So even if we offer more money, they won’t betray Donnie!"
The room fell silent once again.
Looking at the three silent men, Eduardo Doherty suddenly stood up and said, "Gentlemen, I’ve already purchased my train ticket to Atlantic City. Business is not about getting angry. I’ve decided to reconcile with Donnie, what about you?"
