America 1919

Noel Booth looked at Donnie's smile and felt his heart suddenly start to beat violently.

He began to understand Donnie's intention, as Reid Haggie was firmly against collaborating with Atlantic City Broadcast, hence Donnie was now scheming against Reid Haggie.

If this matter were to be exposed, then Reid Haggie would definitely be asked by the Council to resign due to his responsibility, leaving the position of president of the university alliance vacant, then wouldn't there be an opportunity for himself?

"Loyalty is relative, before you didn't betray Reid Haggie because nobody offered you a bargaining chip to betray him. Now that the chip is in front of you, the choice is yours to make!"

At this moment, Donnie's voice, like the voice of a devil drifting out of Pandora's box, was filled with temptation, causing Noel Booth's heart to start pounding fiercely.

Just as Donnie had said, his loyalty to Reid Haggie wasn't unconditional, but had its price.

If he could become the president of the alliance, this bargaining chip would definitely make him abandon his loyalty to anyone!

"Mr. Block, I..."

After hesitating for a while, Noel Booth continued, "The problem is still as I just mentioned, if Reid's matter gets exposed, it will be impossible for there to be any cooperation between us!"

Donnie laughed, "I am not asking you to betray Reid Haggie right now, but for you to stay by his side as my inside man. As for Reid Haggie, when he walks out of the casino, I am sure his mind will be clearer, and that will be the time for me to negotiate with him.

Nevertheless, once everything is settled, maybe then the events involving Reid Haggie that happened in Atlantic City recently will finally be reported!"

Noel Booth's concerns were naturally anticipated by Donnie, and knowing this outcome, Donnie would not let Reid Haggie's scandal break out at this time; it needed some time.

When Atlantic City Broadcast would move to New York and officially change its name to United States Broadcast, they would use the influence of Atlantic City Broadcast to dissociate United States Broadcast from Atlantic City.

After all this was done, Reid Haggie's scandal could be released!

After giving it some thought, Donnie had decided to accept Robert's suggestion to relocate Atlantic City Broadcast to New York and to rename it as United States Broadcasting Corporation!

However, this required time to execute—the selection of the company location, recruitment of talent, internal monitoring, and a series of other issues—all needed Donnie's arrangements.

After listening to this, Noel Booth was somewhat disappointed; his greed had been stirred by Donnie, yet Donnie said the matter needed to wait.

"There's no need to be disappointed, at least the opportunity is in front of you now, which is a lot better than not having this opportunity at all before!"

Donnie saw through Noel Booth's thoughts.

Noel Booth nodded awkwardly.

"Alright, you can go back now and wait for Reid Haggie's summons!"

After speaking, Donnie took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Noel Booth, saying with a smile, "This is a check for 3000 US Dollars, take it, and we are truly friends!"

Noel Booth, looking at the check in Donnie's hand, knew it was the last step to forming an alliance with Donnie. By taking this check, he would be in Donnie's grasp and naturally become one of his own.

Not to take the check, in this situation, would mean becoming Donnie's enemy.

Noel Booth had already seen what happens to those who become Donnie's enemies from Reid Haggie's experience!

After understanding the situation, Noel Booth accepted Donnie's check and said with a smile, "Mr. Block, rest assured, I will report any matters concerning the university alliance to you at the earliest possible moment!"

Donnie nodded in satisfaction and said no more.

Noel Booth, knowing when to take his leave, did so accordingly.

Some ten minutes later, a dejected and annoyed Reid Haggie arrived at the Atlantic City beach, led by Steve Cotting, to see a lean middle-aged man sitting on a bench engaged in conversation with someone.

Shortly after, he saw Donnie take out a hundred-dollar US Dollar bill from his pocket and hand it over to the man, who in turn gave Donnie some photographs, and soon after, the man left the place.

The Atlantic breeze caressed his face, and at this moment, Reid Haggie had completely sobered up.

Thinking back to how he had been dragged out of the casino by Steve Cotting, recalling his unwilling roar inside the casino, he felt a rush of shame without reason.

Following shame, came regret.

He didn't understand what had come over him at the time, when exactly he had become ensnared by the casino like a demon?

Most importantly, once he left the casino and his intelligence returned, he knew he was in trouble.

Even though he did not know the specifics of his trouble, he understood that its creator was most definitely Donnie Block!

"Mr. Reid Haggie, I never expected to meet you under such circumstances!"

Donnie looked at Reid Haggie, who had come up to him, with a calm expression and a smile.

Feeling resigned, Reid Haggie asked, "Block, just tell me what it is you want, okay?"

Donnie gestured toward the photographs beside him and said, "No hurry, take a look at the content of these photographs, then we can continue our discussion!"
