When a gambler walks into a casino and steps into the trap arranged personally by the casino owner,
it doesn't matter who he was before, what achievents he had, in the end, he will be destroyed by his own confidence, greed, and foolishness!
Reid Haggie had been fighting in the Ritz Hotel's casino for two days and nights, and he had lost all the cash on him.
Not only that, but the fifty-thousand-dollar check that Luke Jackson had given him was also gone!
However, Reid Haggie had no intention of leaving. He believed that from the next hand of cards, his luck would turn, he would get a good hand and set himself back on the path to recovery!
In the anti, Noel Booth ca here several tis, hoping to persuade Reid Haggie to give up this unrealistic idea.
Now they could leave Atlantic City, they could perfectly answer the inquiries from the college league Council.
But, obviously, Reid Haggie did not want to leave just like that!
"Noel, trust , the next hand, the next one will definitely win money!"
At this mont, Reid Haggie's eyes were bloodshot, his expression manic, and even while he was talking to Noel Booth, his eyes were still tightly fixed on the situation at the card table.
Seeing Reid Haggie like this, Noel Booth felt very unfamiliar. He knew that Reid Haggie liked to gamble occasionally, but he never imagined that the usually calm and wise Reid Haggie could suddenly beco so crazed.
Even when Donnie showed up here, Reid Haggie had no reaction, and naturally did not notice that Noel Booth followed Donnie and left the place.
"Mr. Booth, it seems your chairman won't be leaving here anyti soon!"
Donnie stood at the entrance of the Ritz Hotel casino with a smile on his face, looking down at the situation here.
Noel Booth, thinking of sothing, couldn't help but ask Donnie, "Did you do all this?"
Donnie did not deny it, only lightly replying, "I just released a certain factor within Reid's body, that's all!"
Noel Booth said gravely, "There's no benefit for you in doing this. If other league people know about this, they won't cooperate with you anymore, they might even cut off all ties!"
Donnie replied casually with a smile, "Mr. Booth, only you know about this matter. Do you think if you tell others, they will believe you? Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Of course, this will definitely be reported, but don't forget that right now, because of the century match between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti, all the major dia newspapers are flooding Atlantic City. Do you think they would give up on such explosive news?
The chairman of the college football league, Reid Haggie, addicted to gambling, has already lost nearly one hundred thousand dollars in chips in three days?
I think the college football league will definitely be very interested in where Reid Haggie's chips ca from!"
With each sentence that Donnie spoke, Noel Booth's complexion grew a shade darker, and at this mont, he understood, Reid Haggie was finished.
He would completely beco the main character of a nationwide scandal.
A league that prided itself on transparency, and their chairman lost a hundred thousand in chips in Atlantic City!
At that ti, the entire college league wouldn't be able to contain him!
"Donnie, you can't do this, if that's the case, because this matter is related to gambling, and Reid Haggie lost in Atlantic City, when these facts are connected, the nation's public also won't accept a cooperation between the college league and Atlantic City Broadcast!"
Noel Booth clung to this like a lifeline!
Donnie laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Booth, I'm just now realizing, you should be the one sitting in the college league chairman's seat!"
After speaking, Donnie left the place.
Not understanding what Donnie ant, Noel Booth, after casting a glance at Reid Haggie who was still fiercely gambling in the casino, gritted his teeth and chased after him.
Donnie did not return to Block Tavern, instead, he went to the beaches of Atlantic City and sat on a bench.
When flower girls ca by, Donnie would give two dollars and gently take a fresh flower from their baskets.
If shoe-shining kids ca by, Donnie also gave them two dollars and let them shine his leather shoes.
"I hear Nucky does this kind of thing every day!"
Noel Booth sat next to Donnie, looking at his acts, and said with mixed feelings.
"Nucky does it every day, I do it occasionally. It's different, and Nucky wouldn't mind!"
Donnie took a cigarette out of his jacket pocket, Steve Cotting blocked the wind for Donnie, and Donnie lit the cigarette.
"Do you see those people on the beach?" Donnie held his cigarette and pointed to the people playing on the beach.
"They are all Atlantic City folk. The prosperity of Atlantic City allows these people to play here happily without worrying about next month's rent."
"I hear that Atlantic City's current prosperity cannot be separated from your great developnts, Mr. Block!"
Noel Booth offered his complints absently.
Donnie chuckled and replied, "I don't deny your point. So, to maintain the residents' life in Atlantic City like this, or even to make it better, the city's corporate developnt has to get better and better.
The college league, our Atlantic City Broadcast must secure the exclusive broadcasting rights. So about what you just ntioned to , it all cos down to how you see it."
