America 1919

More importantly, if it were only this, it wouldn't be necessary to call all of these people here.

But the doubt in these people's eyes was fleeting. Donnie had already given them profits amounting to millions of US Dollars every year. Now, don't mention that Donnie wanted to transport people; even if he wanted to transport arms, they would pretend that they saw nothing.

"No problem, Mr. Block, we have always been the best partners, and now that you, Mr. Block, want to develop a tourism company, we naturally have to cooperate!"

Samuels Spencer gave a positive reply on behalf of these people.

Donnie nodded, showing a slight smile. His real intention was, of course, not this. It was merely that Donnie had established a good cooperative relationship with the Coast Guard through the bootlegging business.

That is to say, the foundation of this cooperation is bootlegging, but the United States' Prohibition will eventually be lifted, and when it's lifted, the cooperative relationship between Donnie and the Coast Guard will cease to exist.

By then, whether these people will still stand by him, Donnie wasn't confident at all.

Therefore, Donnie wanted to get these people on his 'ship,' but Donnie wouldn't be able to find another business comparable to bootlegging to satisfy these people's appetite, so this 'ship' involves both interests and threats.

However, all of this needs to be approached step by step. This is just the first step!

As long as they continue working with him now, by the time they finally figure out what Poseidon Tourism Company is up to, even if they want to get off the ship, it will be impossible!

"Since that's the case, let me thank you all in advance. I've already prepared wine, food, and beautiful women in the manor for everyone to enjoy to your heart's content!"

Samuels Spencer and the others smiled once more.

But just when these people were getting up to enjoy life, the phone next to Donnie rang.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention to this call, nor did Donnie.

So, Donnie casually picked up the phone. Samuels Spencer glanced at Donnie before leaving and noticed that Donnie's face had changed and signaled for him to stay.

Samuels Spencer returned to his seat. The others looked at Donnie, seeing that he had no intention of keeping them, and left.

Donnie hung up the phone with a grim expression, then looked at Samuels Spencer and said: "Mr. Spencer, just now I received a call from one of my subordinates. A shipment of bootlegging worth 1.5 million US Dollars was intercepted and destroyed by the Coast Guard in the Florida area!"

"What?"

Samuels Spencer looked at Donnie in disbelief, "Sara wouldn't dare be so bold!"

Although Jermaine Sara had not cooperated with Donnie's Bootlegging Empire, over the past three months, he had turned a blind eye to the empire's bootlegging activities.

Even the Rothschild Family dared not act against Donnie's Bootlegging Empire because it involved too many people. But now, a mere major like Jermaine Sara dares to intercept the Bootlegging Empire's goods.

No wonder Samuels Spencer couldn't believe it!

Donnie sat there with crossed legs, calmly saying: "The situation has already occurred, and it was led by Jermaine Sara himself. There is no doubt about it!"

Samuels Spencer sat there in silence for a long time, contemplating, "Could it be the navy wants to get involved?"

Donnie waved his hand and said: "I don't care who wants to get involved, but the other side has already declared war on us. They've fired the first shot, so we must retaliate!"

This time, Samuels Spencer didn't immediately respond to Donnie, still wary of the navy's influence.

Donnie was very dissatisfied with Samuels Spencer's reaction, but he didn't say anything, instead sitting there quietly waiting.

After a long time, Samuels Spencer said: "Mr. Block, let me first investigate the specifics of this situation. If possible, I'll have them return this shipment to you!"

"Not to me, but to us!" Donnie first corrected Samuels Spencer's words, then said: "But Mr. Spencer, do you really think this matter can be resolved just by them returning the shipment to us?

If we don't do anything, I can tell you quite responsibly that in less than three months, the bootlegging in other regions will suffer varying degrees of damage!"

Samuels Spencer naturally understood Donnie's implication. In outsiders' eyes, the current Bootlegging Empire is an indestructible giant of interests, so no one dares to take action against it. But now someone dares to act, challenging this giant of interests. If they do nothing, even if the other side returns the shipment, those who are covetous will pounce like hyenas.

"But, I don't have the authority to dismiss him!"

Samuels Spencer said helplessly.

Donnie calmly said: "Mr. Spencer, as Jermaine Sara's superior, if you don't have a way to deal with him, do you think I would believe you?"

Samuels Spencer felt increasingly helpless, inwardly cursing Jermaine Sara's entire family, including the males.

He really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but now that it has happened, it genuinely impacts his own interests.

"Alright, I know what to do!" Samuels Spencer finally said.

Donnie nodded slightly, and at that moment, the phone on his desk rang again. Donnie picked it up, and the person on the other side introduced himself.

"Hello, Mr. Block, I am Jermaine Sara, Commander of the Seventh District of the Coast Guard!"
