Donnie looked at the unmoving John, his heart filled with worry.
One day that pig-headedness is going to be the death of him!
It was Westglenn who first grasped Donnie’s intent and hurriedly said, “Boss, rest assured, I’ll go to the public security office right now and inform Eli.
He’ll send people to arrest all those involved!”
Donnie said to Westglenn, “Also, notify Chris and have him prepare.
I really want to see who dares to make a fuss over this matter!”
Only then did Donnie continue to speak to Tyrone Capello and Joachim Lang, “You two take care and recover well.
Let your boss help you with any issues!”
After he finished speaking, Donnie left the hospital, leaving behind the moved and teary Tyrone Capello and Joachim Lang, the confused John, and the comprehending Westglenn.
“West, what exactly did Donnie mean just now?
Didn’t he always say to handle this matter with discretion?”
At that moment, John grabbed Westglenn and asked.
Westglenn scratched his head and said helplessly, “Previously, this matter indeed needed to be handled discreetly.
After all, there are quite a few black people in North District.
But now that it’s happened, even if we wanted to keep a low profile, it wouldn’t be possible.
Moreover, Harrison Rome does have significant influence in North District.
Right now, you could say the whole North District is watching this incident.
If we persist in the principle of handling things discreetly, those simple-minded people in North District will definitely think we’re afraid of them.
Then, our work on the requisition will become even more difficult.
Everyone will start to take after Harrison Rome. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
Now the boss is asking us to take control of these people, including Harrison Rome, to cut the Gordian knot and make it clear to them that the Atlantic City expansion project must go forward, and no one can stop it!”
So that’s it!” John first looked enlightened, then had some doubts again and asked, “But wouldn’t this provoke those people from North District?
Aren’t those the very votes Donnie has been trying to cultivate?”
Westglenn said with a smile, “That’s why the boss is already away from Atlantic City now!”
“No, wait a minute…” John suddenly laughed, “Right, there’s something important in New York.
Donnie has already left Atlantic City!”
Atlantic City, North District Community Hospital!
Inside the patient room, Irving looked at Harrison Rome, whose head had been bandaged up like a mummy, and sighed, “Harrison, why go through all of this?
You know the relocation of North District has been set by both Donnie and Nucky.
It’s fixed and unchangeable.
Yet you’ve been insisting on this issue, and look where it got you—lying in a hospital bed!”
With slurred speech, Harrison Rome said, “Are you here to see me or to infuriate me?”
Irving spoke, “Don’t talk like that.
Now that the situation has escalated, I just called Donnie’s office.
Steve Cotting said Donnie isn’t in Atlantic City right now.
Obviously, Donnie wants no part in this!”
Harrison Rome said, “Isn’t that better?
It means Donnie knows the whole North District is watching.
They will have to compromise!”
Irving nodded in agreement with Harrison Rome’s words but still advised, “Harrison, this time I guess John and his side will probably make some concessions, but you shouldn’t push too hard.
Otherwise, no one will be able to save face, which will make it even more difficult to handle!”
Harrison Rome was about to say something when he aggravated his head injury and could only nod helplessly, saying, “Well, getting beat up is worth it if I can get what I want in the end.”
At that moment, Harrison Rome suddenly remembered the gunfight from before and asked, “By the way, how are Finley and the others?”
When the gunfight had broken out, without regard for his own injuries, Harrison Rome had crawled behind the bar, narrowly escaping further harm.
While he sneakily observed the situation, he saw Finley and others exchanging gunfire with Tyrone Capello.
Irving said, “Two of them are still in resuscitation, and the rest are being bandaged up.
Finley might be bound to a wheelchair for life!”
Harrison Rome nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll help them get some benefits when I negotiate with John and his people!”
Irving said, “I think I should handle this matter.
You don’t need to conflict with them further.
I believe they will want to minimize the issue now that it has blown up, so it shouldn’t be a problem to get some compensation!”
Just as Harrison Rome was preparing to rest, suddenly there came a frantic voice of a nurse from outside the room.
This is a hospital ward, our patients need to rest…”
The voice got closer, and it was clear the nurse couldn’t stop the intruders.
As Irving drew his gun and stood up, the room door was pushed open.
Eli, with a large group, walked in.
Seeing Eli, Irving first let out a sigh of relief and put his gun down.
Then, he was about to exchange pleasantries with Eli, but Eli didn’t even glance at Irving and ordered his men directly.
“The suspect is here, take him away!”
As the words fell, several public security officers stepped forward.
Without regard for Harrison Rome’s injuries, they pulled him up from the bed.
This action caused Harrison Rome to twist his face in pain from his wounds, but his look was more of confusion and fear.
