America 1919

Now, the reason why Coshek Kevin became the most likely candidate for the new IRS Director was not just because of his relationship with Congress, but also because of his prior experience working at the White House. Although this might lead to suspicions of him playing both sides, his personal abilities were not to be underestimated, leading to him becoming a buffer between the White House and Congress.

Gabe Hill Mendy wouldn't have such advantages. Judging from his profile, he's like a mad dog from Congress. Do you think the White House would agree to let him become the IRS Director?

Don't forget, the White House is the real signer of the appointment.

Robert asked, puzzled, "What about Michael Ribeiro then? According to his profile, both sides dislike him. The White House hates him for his frequent investigations of government officials, and Congress despises his tough character."

Donnie smiled and said, "Indeed, that's the case. However, it's precisely for this reason that both the White House and Congress can rest assured. If he becomes the IRS Director, they won't have to worry about him being controlled by the other side!"

Only then did Robert nod in sudden realization and said, "It's a pity this man is hard to control!"

Donnie said, "That's why we need to look into his family situation. Didn't you see it written in Archido Bowen's material? He values his family greatly, so his family could potentially be his vulnerability!"

Robert spoke excitedly, "I understand now!"

Then, Donnie asked about the investigation he had tasked Robert with, regarding the others he had sent to the IRS. Beyond Archido Bowen, the others had not been involved in this particular investigation, thus, they were unaware of the matter. This outcome pleased Donnie to some extent, but also left him somewhat dissatisfied.

He was pleased because the other four were unaware of the matter, meaning he didn't have to worry about any of them betraying him.

However, he was displeased because, although the IRS's investigation was a crisis, it was actually an opportunity for those he had planted within the IRS. Just like Archido Bowen, Donnie could have provided them with a chance to earn some merits in the situation.

.

In fact, over these three months, apart from the IRS, there was another matter that was causing Donnie some headaches.

That was the grand opening of the Surf Hotel, which attracted more and more professional gamblers seeking their fortune overnight.

Never underestimate the abilities of professional gamblers. Without certain special skills, they wouldn't dare take such risks to seek fortune!

In recent days, two professional gamblers had come to the Surf Hotel, clearly possessing special skills. One of them could even listen to the dice cup and determine the dice numbers by the sound of the dice hitting inside the cup.

Within just three days, these two had won half a million US dollars from the Surf Hotel!

Donnie didn't open a casino to perform charity, and these people were clearly treating the Surf Hotel as their ATM, winning half a million US dollars and still not leaving!

Let's put it this way: if someone won half a million US dollars at the Surf Hotel by luck, Donnie would happily treat them grandly and even have the "Atlantic City Post" report the matter extensively.

The novels describe how gamblers winning half a million US dollars at a casino would be hunted down by the casino's people!

Only a small-scale casino might do such a thing, and even then, it's only likely if the owner is extremely short-sighted.

A large-scale casino like the Surf Hotel wouldn't care about such things, even half a million US dollars in this era.

They wouldn't just not care, they'd react as Donnie did because that's the casino's live advertisement!

What do people come to a casino for?

Apart from experiencing the thrill of winning and losing, more importantly, to win money! Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

If they found out that this casino allowed them to win money, wouldn't they come flocking?

By then, the casino would be earning much more than just half a million!

However, these two were not relying on luck but their skills, and that was something Donnie couldn't accept.

But what really annoyed Donnie was the attitude of the other people at the Surf Hotel regarding this matter.

"These two people are down in the casino now," Louis said they had already won 30 thousand US dollars in just two hours. "Do you really want to let them continue like this?"

Inside the conference room of the Surf Hotel, Nucky looked angrily at Donnie!

Although he had returned to cooperating with Donnie at the card table after the last showdown, this didn't mean Nucky had no further moves to make. During this time, he had become more familiar with the operation of the Surf Hotel, so now Nucky began trying to gain more say at the Surf Hotel!

Thus, when these two appeared, Nucky promptly suggested taking them out, making them understand that the Surf Hotel was neither a charity nor their bank to withdraw from whenever they wanted!

But at that time, Donnie had vetoed Nucky's suggestion.

Indicating that they should wait and see!

In the conference room, not only Donnie and Nucky were present but also Sass Carmajo from Atlantic City Hall, the chairman of the Atlantic City Public Committee.
