America 1919

"After the election of Miss America, Donnie's influence in Atlantic City just keeps on growing!" Nucky said to Louis, looking at the now closed door.

Louis nodded and replied, "But I know you must have a way to control Donnie, boss."

With a confident smile, Nucky said, "Do you know why I didn't mention Harding's mistress to Donnie just now?"

Shaking his head, Louis answered, "No idea!"

Nucky, increasingly buoyant, continued, "Actually, I was testing Donnie. I wanted to see if he would bring it up on his own. If he had, I wouldn't let him continue with the Miss America project. But now he's been smart, not mentioning it. This shows that, at least for the time being, he understands his place in Atlantic City!"

Louis nodded again.

At that moment, Lucy emerged from the bedroom, exquisitely dressed.

"Are you going out?" Nucky asked as he saw Lucy dressed up.

With a huff, Lucy shot Nucky a glance and said, "I know when you got off the train, but look at what you've been doing ever since. I thought you would want me to keep you company as soon as you got back to the hotel. Instead, you met with Donnie Block again. So I'm that unimportant in your heart, am I? Since that's the case, I might as well go out and alleviate some of my displeasure."

Nucky laughed and replied, "Are you holding it against me?"

"That's right!" Lucy confirmed.

Afterward, Lucy turned away with pride and left Nucky's office directly.

Watching Lucy's demeanor, Nucky chuckled and shook his head without taking it to heart.

By the time Donnie returned to The Fuli Tavern, it was already the afternoon, and there were already quite a few customers seated there.

Just like in the Block Tavern, people in the hall kept greeting Donnie.

"What does Nucky think about the general's situation?" Bruce asked as he joined Donnie in his office.

"We can put aside Nucky's affairs for now, he won't be suspecting us of anything anytime soon!"

Donnie slumped onto the sofa, his complexion somewhat pale.

Seeing Donnie's state, Bruce curiously inquired, "Why do you look like you've just been through a minor battle?"

Donnie waved his hand, saying, "A fierce battle!"

Bruce didn't understand what Donnie meant and didn't ask further. Instead, he queried, "So what do we do next?"

"Since Nucky won't be suspecting us for now, we should focus all our energy on the Miss America matter. If we can successfully handle it, it will be very beneficial for us," Donnie said.

Throwing his hands up, Bruce replied, "If that's the case, then I'm afraid I can't be of help!"

Bruce was capable of tailing someone or taking someone out, or even assessing the current situation, but handling something like the Miss America affair was not his forte!

Donnie glanced at Bruce with a smile and reassured, "Don't worry, I never thought you could contribute much to this!"

With no serious business to discuss, the two chatted casually, especially on the topic of warfare, which was a shared interest.

However, their pleasant conversation was soon interrupted by Nate!

"Boss, Mr. Dorne has arrived!"

"Alright, I'll be right there!"

.

"Donnie, my friend!"

Upon seeing Donnie arrive at his booth, Brad immediately let go of the woman beside him, stood up, and embraced Donnie.

Before this, even though Donnie had told Ponzi that the contract was signed by Brad, in truth, Brad knew nothing about it.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Of course, now that Ponzi was dead, there was no one left to speak of the matter.

The reason Donnie had invited Brad over was, in fact, to discuss another matter.

"Brad, I want to hire you as the legal advisor for my new company, all the way until you take up the position of Atlantic City's municipal judge. What do you think?"

The year's elections would conclude in November, after which Brad would be appointed the municipal judge of Atlantic City!

Brad laughed, "Aren't I already the legal advisor for Starry Entertainment?"

Donnie shook his head, "Not for Starry Entertainment, but for Deep Sea Media's legal advisor!"

"The Deep Sea Media that owns the 'Atlantic City Post'?" Even though Brad hadn't heard of Deep Sea Media before, he knew that Donnie now owned a newspaper in Atlantic City called the "Atlantic City Post."

Donnie nodded, "Correct!"

"Of course, that's not a problem for me, after all, it means an additional income!" Brad said happily.

Donnie nodded and replied, "Since that's settled, congratulations, you'll have work to do soon!"

Brad exaggeratedly asked, "Has your newspaper gotten sued already?"

Donnie chuckled and shook his head, "Not at all. I want you to help me register a wireless radio broadcasting company and apply for the first commercial broadcast license in the United States!"

"A wireless radio broadcasting company?" Brad showed a puzzled look.

You couldn't blame him for being uninformed, though it was true that young Americans could now buy parts and assemble radios themselves, as of yet, no commercial radio stations had been established in the world.

The first global commercial radio station, KDKA, wouldn't be founded until November of that year.
