America 1919

However, there were still people who doubted Mayo Logan's words.

Then Lazack Bart stepped forward, taking the megaphone from Mayo Logan's hands, and also spoke out about the matter of Bart Bield seeking him out yesterday.

With the testimony from both of them, at this time, whether it was Bart Bield's defense or those who doubted, all seemed pale and powerless.

Robert reached out and took the megaphone from Lazack Bart's hands.

"Everyone, I know you have experienced some injustice in Atlantic City, but ask yourselves, if not for Atlantic City, could you have the life you do now?"

"Would other cities discuss such matters of relocation with you?"

"In other cities, could you meet such good gentlemen as Donnie and Nucky?"

"Just as I came to deal with this issue, Mr. Block repeatedly instructed me on the phone that you have been misled, and these actions of yours are not truly your intentions. He made it clear that I must ensure your safety."

"Moreover, Mr. Block and Mr. Johnson are planning to build hospitals and schools in the new North District for you, and they will search throughout the country for your black compatriots to come and work as doctors and teachers for you, to take care of your health, and to educate your children."

"Are you now actually going to protest against two gentlemen who have your best interests at heart?"

If it weren't for what was said before, Robert's speech might not have been very effective, but now, after hearing such words again, some people from the North District had already begun to lower their heads, beginning to regret their current behavior... Hmph, they would still protest if something like this happened again.

This is the stubborn inferiority at their core, something that can never change!

Seeing these people's reactions, Robert continued, "And you're still talking about striking and protesting; I can responsibly tell you that in my hands..."

One of Robert's subordinates handed Robert a document.

Holding the document in hand, Robert continued, "This document I hold lists the newcomers to Atlantic City during this period. I'm not exaggerating when I say that if you choose to strike, anyone who sees this list will be happy.

Because if you leave, we can arrange these newcomers to take over your jobs immediately."

"It's still Mr. Block and Mr. Johnson, the two of them, who strongly oppose this because they truly have your best interests at heart. Mr. Block told me that it wasn't easy for your ancestors to come to this land and your lives depend on these wages. If you lost these jobs, you would lose everything, even your right to live in Atlantic City. The two gentlemen do not want to see this happen."

"But now, look at what you're doing!"

In the end, Robert managed to display an expression of indignation.

Irving knew it was his time to take the stage.

He stepped before the people of the North District and shouted loudly, "Mr. Lillard, please don't say that. We from the North District are simple and kind people, and we are grateful to Mr. Block. All of today's actions have been instigated by the detestable Bart Bield. All the bad things are his doing alone. Please, Mr. Lillard, make sure to tell Mr. Block, don't be disappointed in the whole North District because of one bad person!"

The people of the North District, still confused at this point, immediately found their new leader. Yes, we've been deceived; we didn't mean to threaten Donnie Block and Nucky Johnson.

Yes, that's right!

A mob is formed exactly like this. When these people found a justification for their behavior and with the appearance of Irving as their guide, they immediately found a direction.

They began to break down and admit their mistakes, while also pushing all the blame onto Bart Bield.

At this time, Bart Bield had already collapsed on the ground, the process of falling from heaven to hell happening in less than half an hour.

Robert, satisfied, took the megaphone from Irving's hands and continued to shout, "I will definitely convey the feelings of everyone here to the two gentlemen, but without rules, there can be no squares or circles. I believe most people here are good, thinking of Atlantic City, but still, some bad elements are hiding among you. Now I will announce the new rules!"

Eli, looking at Robert with the megaphone, no longer had any thoughts of wanting to restore Nucky's control over Atlantic City at this moment.

He knew that after this incident, Donnie's prestige in Atlantic City would reach its peak, a historic level, and that no one else would be able to contend with Donnie in Atlantic City again!

While Eli was reflecting, he noticed Robert looking at him and realized it was his turn to take the stage.

Taking another document from one of his subordinates, he walked up to Robert and handed the document over to him.

Robinson, holding the document, shouted, "This contains a list of people who have violated the laws and regulations of Atlantic City, and their actions have been confirmed by the security department. Thus, we have decided based on the laws they have broken that those who have violated the law will be taken away by the security department, and Atlantic City will prosecute them. They will face the consequences their crimes deserve. As for those who have violated the regulations of Atlantic City, they will become unwelcome in Atlantic City. From now on, no hostel in Atlantic City shall provide them with accommodation, and no individual may offer them a place to live in violation of regulations, otherwise, they too will have to leave Atlantic City."

This was the heavy hand that Donnie had laid down!

He had never thought that resolving the relocation to the new North District was the end; Donnie was seizing this opportunity to relocate all these unstable elements out of Atlantic City.

The black people at this moment changed from initial guilt to worry and some dissatisfaction!

Robert was unconcerned with their expressions, knowing that after this incident, these people were no longer a force to be reckoned with, so he went on.

"If anyone thinks the decision by Mr. Block and Mr. Johnson is unfair, they may also voluntarily leave Atlantic City. The two gentlemen will provide 10 US Dollars for travel expenses to anyone who leaves the city on their own initiative. But remember, if you leave now, you will also become unwelcome in Atlantic City, receiving the same treatment as those who are expelled!"
