America 1919

The people of the North District behind him burst into cheers again.

Clearly, they were eating up what Bart Bield was selling, and at that moment, they believed they had the victory in hand!

Robert nodded, and Bart Bield, seeing this gesture from Robert, thought Robert was about to agree to his terms, was about to feel elated when.

Suddenly, Robert asked, "There's something I'm really curious about, how can you be so sure that the 3K party is behind this?"

Bart Bield, now looking down on Robert, said loudly, "Everyone saw it at the time, how could it be fake? Right, Lazack saw it too, are you still trying to distort the truth?"

Robert shook his head, this time not looking at Bart Bield, but instead at the black residents of the North District behind him.

After staring straight at these people for a good ten seconds, Robert then took a megaphone from someone at his side and shouted loudly, "Folks, are you aware of how such demands can put Mr. Block and Nucky in a very difficult position? Have you forgotten how they've taken care of you all these years?"

When your family members fell ill, who paid for your medical expenses? When winter came, who provided you with winter cotton jackets, charcoal? When you faced difficult times, who found you work?

Have you truly forgotten all this?"

Robert's words caused some unrest among the black population of the North District, and seeing this, Bart Bield immediately shouted loudly.

"We don't deny the help Mr. Block and Nucky have given us, but we've paid for that help with our labor, and not just with labor, but also with our dignity. If those gentlemen really had our best interests at heart, they should even more agree to our demands."

Bart Bield's call made those who were wavering fall in line again, shouting loudly, "Right, that's right!"

Indeed, these black people were a bunch of ingrates who could never be satisfied!

Robert silently agreed with what Donnie had said before.

At this moment, Robert picked up the megaphone again and asked Bart Bield, "Do you remember the question I just asked you? How can you be so sure that those were the 3K party members?"

Bart Bield said proudly, "Of course I remember, are you really trying to turn black into white?"

Robert shook his head, "Turning black into white is not my intention, I just want to tell everyone the truth!"

With those words, Robert's men, escorting Mayo Logan, passed through Chris's subordinates, then came to the point of confrontation.

Bart Bield, who had been smug just a moment ago, changed color drastically upon seeing Mayo Logan, and then shouted, "Mayo, have they captured you? Are they forcing you to lie? Don't worry, all of us from the North District stand with you, they won't be able to do anything to you!"

Robert watched with disdain as Bart Bield subtly threatened Mayo Logan, thinking that if they hadn't considered such a thing, they would never have made it off the battlefield.

Mayo Logan, of course, understood what Bart Bield was implying, but did he have a choice?

No!

His family was now under Robert's control, and on the way here, Robert had explained to him that no matter how the situation played out, Donnie and Nucky's status in Atlantic City would remain unchanged.

If Mayo Logan chose to betray Donnie now, no matter the outcome, his own fate would surely not be a good one!

Seeing Mayo Logan show no response to his call, Bart Bield looked panicked and filled with prayer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you might doubt my words, so now, listen to the voice of your fellow North District resident!" After finishing, Robert, with a smile, handed the megaphone to Mayo Logan.

"Don't!"

Bart Bield, panicked, tried to grab the megaphone from Mayo Logan's hand, only to be pointed at with a gun by the people next to Robert!

This made Bart Bield not dare to make any further moves, only looking at Mayo Logan with despair and a prayerful gaze.

When Mayo Logan saw the look in Bart Bield's eyes, he suddenly realized, compared to Donnie and Nucky, Bart Bield was nothing but a pitiable bug.

Wasn't he the same?

Shaking his head to clear the distractions from his mind, Mayo Logan brought the megaphone to his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everything that happened this morning was orchestrated by Bart Bield..."

Then Mayo Logan laid out the entire affair, including Bart Bield's desire to replace Irving, urging everyone to join him for a strike and protest over the Lazack Babu incident.

He also revealed the real terms they had intended to negotiate with Donnie.

And finally, Mayo Logan spoke of their evidence of guilt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't believe me, you can go now to Bart's place, where you'll find the 3K party robes I stole, the remaining petrol, coke bottles, all of it!"

Buzz...

At that moment, the people of the whole North District erupted in discussion, and whatever Bart Bield was trying to argue now seemed pale and powerless, mainly because nobody was listening to him anymore.
