America 1919

Paul Warburg came to Atlantic City once again.

He never imagined he would set foot on this land again so soon.

"Although I very much despise Donnie Block, I can't deny that he has turned Atlantic City into a city every American loves!"

As he got off the train, Paul Warburg remarked to his assistant with a hint of emotion.

In the eyes of someone at Paul Warburg's level, Atlantic City at this moment is the epitome of luxury in the United States, representing wealth, opportunity, and all sorts of possibilities.

If it were possible, Paul Warburg greatly wished that one day in the future, he could have the same level of control over Miami as Donnie has over Atlantic City!

"Boss, we should be more cautious, Atlantic City is not a safe place!"

Paul Warburg's assistant cautiously reminded him.

Paul Warburg waved his hand and laughed: "You're overthinking it, I understand your concern, but I know as long as I follow Donnie's rules in Atlantic City, there won't be any danger!"

His assistant agreed with Paul Warburg's view.

Unlike how Paul Warburg saw it, his assistant, from his own position, couldn't comprehend this city. Some people call it the capital of luxury, while others call it the city of extreme vice!

Because in the shadows of this city, one can witness most of the criminal events, more importantly, these events cannot be righted by justice!

Paul Warburg's trip to Atlantic City was naturally to find Café Jackson. Initially, Paul Warburg wanted to observe for a while, but after receiving a call from Donnie and learning that the Rockefeller Family had also joined the competition for land in Florida, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Previously, Paul Warburg didn't worry about others coveting land in Florida, since compared to the Woburg Family, those people were insignificant.

Paul Warburg didn't intend to acquire all the Venus Bank's land in Florida, just enough to include those prime locations would suffice.

Those earlier individuals didn't have the capability, but the Rockefeller Family does!

Donnie refused to negotiate with Paul Warburg on this matter, stating that everything was Café Jackson's responsibility, so he had to seek out Café Jackson!

Paul Warburg was taken aback just as he stepped out of Atlantic City!

Because at this very moment in Atlantic City, one could see uniformed security personnel leading some obviously non-government law enforcement individuals patrolling the streets.

The pedestrians on the streets didn't express much surprise at the situation, only a bit of confusion in their eyes!

"What's happening here?"

This obviously abnormal patrolling intensity surprised Paul Warburg; he couldn't imagine what kind of situation could have caused patrols of such intensity in Atlantic City now.

While Paul Warburg was in doubt, he observed several patrollers suddenly rush into a store, followed by the sound of a dispute, and then witnessed them bringing out several people, apparently the shopkeeper and staff, from the store.

In such circumstances, the shopkeeper was arguing with the patrollers but received no response.

Curious about what exactly transpired, Paul Warburg didn't get into a car but stood by watching developments unfold.

Soon, a truck arrived at the scene, and Paul Warburg saw several people in protective suits coming out with glass containers in hand, entering the store.

Besides Paul Warburg, others were also paying attention to the incident.

Soon, those in protective suits emerged from the store, and Paul Warburg noticed they were carrying Radium Thorium water!

Paul Warburg had some impression of the product Radium Thorium water. Someone had previously talked about its benefits to him, introducing some advantages of radium-containing merchandise.

However, Paul Warburg had no health issues, and secondly, being somewhat cautious about new products, he hadn't tried it.

Believing the situation had concluded, another car promptly arrived, from which two suited men alighted, one carrying a case, and the other holding a document.

Curiosity getting the best of him, Paul Warburg quickly moved closer to the observation point and naturally overheard the conversation.

"Mr. Zeman, you violated Atlantic City's ban by privately possessing and selling radium-containing products. By Atlantic City's rules, you've made it to the unwelcome list. Now, this money represents the value of your store and other assets in Atlantic City. Sign now, and you can leave Atlantic City with this money. You'll be refused entry into Atlantic City for 5 years!"

Zeman pleaded: "Mr. Sheldon, I beg you, I realize my mistake this time, please let me go just this once!"

Not to mention if the money Sheldon brought could equivalently offset his assets in Atlantic City, solely considering the city's current booming prospects, these assets are bound to appreciate significantly in the future. If he sells them now, he'd definitely be selling at a loss!
