Chapter 1176: Chapter 402: Arican Taboos
Atlantic City Port is bustling today.
Many tourists have co to see, as they also want to catch a glimpse of King George V of the United Kingdom.
As the sound of the whistle rings out, a luxurious liner slowly sails into Atlantic City Port.
As the liner stops, the sound of a symphony rings from the port’s location.
King George V of the United Kingdom, accompanied by Queen Mary, descends from the liner amidst people’s applause.
The arrival of George V has attracted the attention of the U.S. Governnt; however, because George V’s visit is not an official event, Coolidge has not co, but has sent Vice President Charles Dawes to welco him.
Before becoming the Vice President of the United States, Charles Dawes was a banker closely connected with Germany.
In fact, in the first two years when Coolidge just beca President, the United States had no Vice President.
Charles Dawes was officially promoted to the position of Vice President last year.
Donnie, Charles Dawes, and Earl Bock ford the first tier to welco George V.
At this mont, Earl Bock’s heart was racing; such a reception was never given to him in the United Kingdom, and unexpectedly, in the United States, he beca the British noble closest to George V.
Donnie approached George V, extended his hand with a smile, and said: “Your Majesty, welco to Atlantic City!”
George V inspected the young man before him.
Before coming, George V had already received intelligence about Donnie.
An Arican soldier who retired after World War I, began to shine in Atlantic City from 1919, and in only seven years, beca one of the foremost tycoons in the United States.
This speed of accumulating wealth is unparalleled not only in the States but across the globe.
Those who once fought in World War I alongside Donnie are still busy working to make a living!
In George V’s imagination, young n like Donnie should be ambitious individuals, but at the mont, the tall Donnie, dressed in a hand-tailored morning coat, with his refined whiskers and humble smile.
Just from his outward appearance, George V even suspected that Donnie might be a gentleman erging from a British aristocratic family!
“Hello Mr. Block, I’ve long heard that under your leadership, Atlantic City has beco the best-developed and best-treated city in Arica. Today, even at the harbor, I can already feel the vitality here.”
George V exchanged pleasantries with Donnie very politely.
He was here to make money, respecting the sponsor is certainly the right thing to do!
George V was acutely aware that the purpose of this trip was to make money.
In this regard, George V’s mind was much clearer than those remnants in New York.
Donnie was also pleased with George V’s attitude, no wonder he turned out to be the luckiest among several cousins!
George V is the cousin of Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, who lost his throne after World War I and is now exiled in the Netherlands.
George V was also the cousin of Nicholas II of Russia, but his cousin lost his life during the October Revolution in the Soviet Union!
“Your Majesty, this is our Federal Vice President, Mr. Charles Dawes!”
Donnie introduced Charles Dawes to George V.
In fact, Donnie and Charles Dawes did not have any connection, and moreover, Charles Dawes’ rise to the U.S. Vice Presidency was a result of internal power struggles within the U.S. Governnt, not Coolidge’s active appointnt.
After George V exchanged greetings with Charles Dawes, Donnie then introduced Earl Bock to George V.
Earl Bock’s etiquette was much more comprehensive compared to Donnie and Charles Dawes; he perford the hand-kissing ceremony.
George V calmly accepted Earl Bock’s etiquette and said with a smile: “Earl Bock, I know you, I have seen your proposals submitted in the House of Lords before; you are a true British noble!”
Actually, George V internally held a disdain for Earl Bock, as he was aware of the relationship between Earl Bock and Donnie.
The British noble Earl actually sent his daughter to an Arican businessman, and not even as a lawful wife.
This consideration is due to Venus Bank providing him with 500,000 British Pounds for this trip, otherwise, he would definitely have reprimanded Earl Bock properly.
“By the way, Mr. Block, before I ca, many friends wrote to , saying they would co to the dock to welco , why haven’t I seen them?”
George V asked Donnie with a smile.
At this mont, in a suite at the Surf Hotel, dozens of remnants quietly sat in their respective seats, and black-clad n stood at the doorway holding pistols.
It’s not that these people didn’t want to resist, but soone already did, and that person got beaten up!
Indeed, they got a beating!
These people prided themselves on being nobles, getting beaten up in public would make them feel more humiliated than being killed, so naturally, the others beca ek.
But these people had already planned in their hearts that once they t George V or returned to New York, they would definitely think of a way to thoroughly punish the detestable Donnie Block and Walker Astor.
These two were truly detestable!
For now, anyway!
At least they couldn’t afford to be beaten.
Faced with George V’s inquiry, Donnie brightly smiled and said: “Perhaps they have not yet arrived in Atlantic City!”
