Julian Weber stared at the documents on the table, his face growing increasingly ugly and panicked. The mere contents of those papers made it clear to Julian Weber that Joseph Adonis was done for!
Who exactly wanted to take down Joseph Adonis?
Julian Weber didn't believe it was Max and the others; they couldn't possibly have made contact with the Bureau of Investigation in such a short time, let alone be aware of the myriad of issues concerning Joseph Adonis.
"Are you guys sent by Matte Galan?"
At this time, Julian Weber concluded that in Los Angeles, the only one with the power and a reason to do this had to be Matte Galan, who was always surreptitiously opposing their gang!
Hamadi Mensa chuckled, saying, "Do you think a gang that's been suppressed by Joseph for so long could mobilize us?"
After his teasing remark, Hamadi Mensa continued, "All right, stop worrying about these things. I can tell you that the best lawyer in Los Angeles is standing outside right now, and if you agree to be our key witness, that lawyer will become your defense attorney. Moreover, you won't have any problems, as our sole target is Joseph Adonis!"
Upon hearing this, Julian Weber finally understood—Joseph Adonis was finished! The most update n0vels are published on novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
The other party had calculated everything!
Even his reaction was accounted for!
And the person who wanted to take down Joseph Adonis must be a big shot; otherwise, the Bureau of Investigation wouldn't bother getting the best lawyer in Los Angeles for him.
"I understand. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything!"
"The Bureau of Investigation has already taken Joseph Adonis away. According to Hoover, if Joseph Adonis wants to get out of prison, he'll have to live to at least 180 years old!"
Donnie set down the phone in his hand and spoke to the people sitting in his office with a smile on his face.
Although everyone also knew that there wouldn't be any surprises regarding this matter, they all revealed joyful smiles upon knowing the outcome, except John seemed somewhat puzzled.
"Joseph was after all the boss of the biggest gang in Los Angeles; is it really that simple for us to have plotted and locked him up?"
John was not only puzzled about this matter but also scared!
Without considering any external factors, Joseph Adonis's influence was indeed stronger than John's. If such a person could be arrested so easily, then what had he been doing in Atlantic City over the past two years?
"That's why I've always said that gangs can be a force in our hands, but we should never see this force as powerful. In front of the U.S. Government, all gang power is just something that can be abandoned at any time."
Donnie looked at John seriously, wanting to offer some advice at this moment. Over the recent half-year, John's gang had become the biggest gang in Atlantic City.
This made John somewhat smug, thinking everything was just so.
"John, remember, gang dealings should be kept low-key, while money-making ventures should be high-profile. Once the funds in your hands reach a certain level, start thinking about how to transition your business into legal enterprises. By then, you will no longer be a gang lord but a successful businessman!"
While these people were currently united around Donnie as the core, and their business ventures appeared to be given by Donnie, in truth, as Donnie's business grew, he had already completed the handover of business dealings with them.
Simply put, it was almost like dividing an inheritance.
However, in these businesses, there were still profits going to Donnie.
In Donnie's view, in the United States, whether it's kinship or friendship, it needs to be maintained by interests. As long as interests exist, their relationships will be sustained.
This is also why Donnie initially entrusted Robert with the Block Tavern businesses in Atlantic City, apart from the one we are in now.

John's main business now is actually that of a bookmaker.
John scratched his head and said, "But I have no idea how to handle a legitimate business, do I?"
Donnie laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I do. When it's time to transform, I will naturally tell you!"
"Haha!" Hearing what Donnie said, John immediately laughed and said, "With you saying that, I have nothing to worry about!"
At this moment, Robert said, "I think it won't be long before the others in the Family Alliance find out about this, and they will definitely contact you!"
Donnie laughed and said, "It's okay, they will contact me just to confirm this matter. Right now, the most important thing to us is actually Julian Weber."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on Donnie's desk rang!
Picking up the phone, Donnie heard the voice on the other end: "Mr. Block, hello, I'm Julian Weber!"
In Los Angeles at that time, within a lodging apartment, Julian Weber was sitting on a couch with Hamadi Mensa and his two men by his side, as well as the satisfied Max.
The hand holding the phone, belonged to Julian Weber, was trembling slightly.
After he agreed to become a tainted witness, Hamadi Mensa brought him here. In just one night, he learned from Hamadi Mensa that Joseph Adonis, the underground emperor of Los Angeles, had been arrested.
What surprised him as well was that Max had come with Hamadi Mensa.
And it was Max who had given him a phone number to call, telling him that the person on the other end was Mr. Donnie Block from Atlantic City.
After hearing this, Joseph Adoni put all the pieces together and realized that it was Donnie Block who had orchestrated everything.
This revelation terrified him, yet it also seemed like something only Donnie Block could do.
And Donnie Block had a reason to do so – the matter of the external betting syndicate.
"So you're saying that you told Mr. Block about the external betting syndicate?" Though Julian Weber already had his answer, he couldn't help but ask Max.
"Of course it was me!" Max said openly, "But I think even if I hadn't said anything, Mr. Block would have certainly found out. I really can't understand why, when you can easily make big money with Mr. Block, you would betray him."
Julian Weber murmured, "I hope that one day you'll have the same realization!"
Max didn't grasp the meaning behind Julian Weber's words, instead, he urged impatiently, "Come on, call Mr. Block already, he's waiting for your call!"
Donnie, in Atlantic City, smiled upon hearing the voice on the line: "Mr. Weber, I didn't expect that we would start our contact in such a manner!"
Julian Weber, now with no backing left, only hoped that Donnie would keep his previous promise.
"Mr. Block, I was wrong about what happened before..."
Donnie interrupted Julian Weber's words, cutting straight to the point: "Joseph is done for this time, but I don't want anyone to know of any connection between me and this matter!"
Julian Weber's heart shuddered, Donnie didn't want others to know he had a connection to this affair, yet he had asked him to call. That meant his own fate...
Donnie, holding the phone, continued calmly, "You now have two options in front of you. First, become a fugitive, or second, take over Joseph's businesses in Los Angeles. Work well with Max, and I can assure you that your future position in Los Angeles will be the same as Joseph's used to be!"
