America 1919

Political figures, super-rich tycoons, their sensitivity is extremely acute.

When Donnie's Atlantic City began criticizing the hazards of radium products, they were already paying attention to this matter.

For ordinary people, they see Donnie as someone who has become the most attacked person in the United States, such a person's reputation has been tarnished.

However, for those political figures and super-rich tycoons, they see that if Donnie didn't have some certainty, why would he suddenly engage in such a reckless act?

So many have begun secretly observing radium products, some political figures and super-rich tycoons who have used radium products in the past are even more terrified of the current situation.

They don't know what the outcome of this matter will be, but now they are worried!

Of course, these speculations and worries cannot make them fully believe in Donnie; what if Donnie is executing some plan unknown to them!

All that can be said is that their hearts lean towards Donnie, but to actually believe in this matter, they need some concrete evidence.

So when ordinary American citizens are cursing Donnie, these neutral political figures and super-rich tycoons are observing this matter.

Then they discovered that the situation began to change!

First, a young officer from California's Rotary Club, Cameron Block, suddenly began promoting the dangers of radium products, delivering three speeches in a single day.

Subsequently, Robert Taft, the spokesman for Ohio's House of Representatives, also publicly declared the dangers of radium products in Ohio. It is crucial to know that this year, after completing his work as a representative in Ohio's House, Robert Taft intends to strive for the national Senate.

In other words, this period is very important for Robert Taft!

Finally, the case of the Radium Product Merchants' Alliance suing Atlantic City in the Supreme Court, which had been dragging on, was accepted, but the hearing was delayed.

Everyone knew that this was due to Donnie's influence.

But now it's different; just today, the Supreme Court suddenly announced that it would officially hear this nationally-followed case in seven days!

If it weren't for the previous two events, those uninformed politicians and tycoons would assume that the Supreme Court couldn't withstand the pressure of the national populace.

But now, the situation is strange!

It seems all these things happened overnight!

The perceptive individuals immediately understood that this matter might soon reach a conclusion!

It's just those uninformed ordinary citizens who think their protests were successful at this moment!

Regarding these people's thoughts, whether politicians or tycoons, they sneer disdainfully!

Cameron Block is Donnie Block's younger brother; Robert Taft is Donnie Block's brother-in-law. They had always maintained a neutral stance on this matter, but suddenly today, their attitude changed, indicating they fully aligned themselves with Donnie's cause.

Would they do this without solid evidence?

It's not just these individuals; even William Bailey, amidst the whirlpool, learned of these developments the next day.

Before this, as the inventor of radium thorium water, William Bailey was already a national idol in the United States. Some extreme individuals even referred to William Bailey as the new century's Jesus!

"William Bailey is sent by God to grant his followers eternal life!"

This was the most common argument among these extreme groups.

At one point, William Bailey even believed this himself.

As the inventor of radium thorium water, to say William Bailey was completely unaware of radium radiation's dangers is impossible, but he certainly didn't fully understand them either.

Simply put, in William Bailey's research, radium radiation indeed poses some risks, but these risks are negligible compared to the benefits radium radiation provides.

Furthermore, the substantial profits from radium thorium water had long led William Bailey to disregard the dangers of radium radiation. All his thoughts were on increasing the production of radium thorium water, reducing its costs, and finally, maximizing profits!

Initially, when the resistance to radium thorium water broke out in Atlantic City, William Bailey scoffed at it!

It was also during that time that William Bailey accepted an interview with "The Washington Post," during which he made a notable comment!

"Radium thorium water is a gift from God to the people, and Atlantic City is Judas, betraying God once again!"

That statement was akin to a declaration of war on Atlantic City and Donnie, and it was then that all U.S. newspapers began publishing reports targeting Atlantic City and Donnie.

In William Bailey's view, under such public opinion pressure, Atlantic City should cease its foolish actions, regardless of any intentions.

But what he didn't expect was that Atlantic City not only continued its resistance to radium thorium water, but Donnie Block's wife, Helen Block, even started a lecture tour in New Jersey!

This outcome surprised William Bailey, leading him, one late night, to momentarily set aside the influence of radium thorium water's lucrative profits and begin analyzing the situation.
