Chapter 1346: Chapter 460: The Ownership of San Francisco Bank
“How’s the investigation I asked you to conduct?”
Caron Block was fiddling with a small knife in his hand, peeling an apple.
Max, who held the power to decide the fate of many, stood beside Caron Block, not daring to take a deep breath. As soone who handled the dark side of things for Caron Block, Max knew Caron Block’s personality all too well.
This man, who had a good guy image in the minds of the citizens of the City of Los Angeles, was actually soone even crazier than his brother.
Max would rather face Donnie Block than face Caron Block, but he had no choice.
“I’ve investigated everything thoroughly. Here is all the information on the managent of the San Francisco Freedom Bank, including who their mistresses are, all clear as day!”
“Haha!” Caron Block laughed, cutting the peeled apple in half and handing one half to Max, then said, “Max, you are simply amazing. You handled this so well, how should I reward you?”
Max lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, “It is my honor to serve you, sir!”
“No, no, no!” Caron Block waved his hand and said, “If you think like that, I would be worried. Soone who wants nothing yet knows all my secrets—do you think I can trust that?”
Max’s expression changed, and he imdiately said, “If possible, I hope in the future I can walk under the sun. Of course, the sun above my head has always been Mr. Block, you.”
Caron Block then showed a smile and said, “That’s more like it. Only when you have desires can I continue to et your demands, and in doing so, you can focus wholeheartedly on working for , right?”
“That’s the way it is!” Max nodded.
Caron Block said, “Donnie ntioned that the Prohibition might not last a few more years. By then, I’ll give you a brewing license, and you’ll be one of the biggest liquor rchants in the United States. That should allow you to walk openly in the sunlight, right?”
Max looked pleasantly surprised, bowing even lower: “Thank you, sir!”
“Very well, you don’t need to explain further how we proceed next, right?”
Caron Block asked, smiling while eating the apple.
“No need, I know what to do. Within a week, I guarantee that you will have all the scandals of the San Francisco Freedom Bank’s managent!”
Max said.
“Okay!” Caron Block laughed, “Then I await your good news!”
Max left.
Then from a secret room in Caron Block’s study, a white male of a similar age stepped out.
“Do you trust this Max?”
The man sat straight on the sofa and crossed his legs.
“Of course, everything he has now was given by Donnie. I see no reason not to trust him!”
Caron Block said easily.
“But you should understand that such a person might beco your Achilles’ heel in the future. He knows too much about you!” the man continued.
Caron Block looked at the other with a smile, “But you also know everything about . Are you implying I shouldn’t trust you either?”
The man was montarily at a loss for how to respond to Caron Block.
Caron Block smiled and said, “Don’t worry. No matter what position I hold in the future, I’ll always need people to handle certain things I’m not suitable for directly!”
Saying this, Caron Block got up, went to the liquor cabinet, poured two glasses of whiskey, and handed one to the man, then said with a smile, “I understand what you an, but think about it—Max knows my secrets, and you know my secrets. If in the future I beco a big shot in the United States, and to ensure my secrets, I get rid of Max, what about you?
How can you assure that I won’t dispose of you to protect my reputation?
You wouldn’t want to dispose of you too, would you?”
The man’s body shivered slightly; he certainly didn’t want such an outco for himself.
“I understand, I won’t say such things again in the future!”
“No, no, no!” Caron Block waved his hand and said, “Why wouldn’t you speak? You are the one overseeing Max for . If you don’t speak, are you planning to conspire with Max to deceive ?”
The man…
“Say what you need to say; I will judge those matters myself. I need to hear them, and those matters I don’t need to hear!” Caron Block said softly.
“I understand!”
“All right, go ahead with your work. Although I trust Max, we need to make thorough preparations, in case any issues arise on his end, you can cover up his loopholes!”
“Understood!”
After the man left, Caron Block sat on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly.
At that mont, the door to his study opened again, and Caron Block slled a familiar fragrance—it was Emma Harrison who had arrived.
Emma Harrison went behind Caron Block and gently massaged his temples.
“Why can Donnie always find people he can trust, while I have to guard against everyone around ?”
Caron Block said softly.
“That’s because you and Mr. Block are on different paths!” Emma Harrison said with a smile.
Caron Block said helplessly, “By then, Donnie will surely make fun of . To kill two people, I have to ask him to send people from Atlantic City; it’s really frustrating to think about!”
Emma Harrison laughed and said, “Actually, you can also think this way—no matter what you do, Mr. Block is your strongest backer. Doesn’t it feel great?”
Caron Block nodded and said, “When you put it that way, I’m not that unhappy anymore!”
“I’ve heard Max is soone Mr. Block left for you to use. Will Mr. Block…”
“As you said, Max is soone Donnie left for . When I have no use for him, there’s naturally no need to keep him around!”
