America 1919-Chapter 399 - 168, this cup is in honor of Mr. Block (a Chapter of ten thousand words, continuing to pay off the debt~)_2

The only one in the room who remained reasonably calm was Robert Stewart, a veteran of World War I.

Therefore, all three men were now looking to Robert Stewart, hoping he could come up with a solution in this difficult moment.

With a dark expression, Robert Stewart said, "This matter is not over, but it has served as a wake-up call for us. We chose the wrong method to deal with Donnie from the start!" Your next read awaits at novelbuddy

Now, they truly understood something. In the past, when facing other businessmen, the semi-violent tactics they employed would naturally intimidate those businessmen into submission.

But now, they were dealing with Donnie Block, a man who had built his fortune on violence. So weren’t the tactics they were using against him akin to a child brandishing a wooden sword at a killer?

Now devoid of his previous arrogance, Harry Sinclair asked, "So what do we do now?"

Robert Stewart replied, "We set up roadblocks with official permission, something Donnie certainly doesn’t have. Since that’s the case, we should be able to make a move based on this fact!"

"Continue to compete with Donnie?" Eduardo Doheny was already somewhat intimidated, truly frightened by Donnie’s methods.

Eduardo Doheny’s wealth was never proportional to his courage. After the Teapot Dome oil field scandal erupted, he was so frightened that he fled abroad.

It was a call from the Rockefeller Family that eventually gave Eduardo Doheny the courage to return to the soil of the United States.

"I think we should first call Albert Furr. He is the middleman in this matter, and now that such a situation has arisen, we should turn to him," said James O’Neal, also feeling somewhat panicky.

"No, I think we should first contact people in California. Donnie set up a private roadblock, and this is something for the California police to handle. Right, there’s also the Wyoming police!"

Harry Sinclair shared his opinion.

At this point, the alliance began to show signs of disagreement.

Robert Stewart declared, "If that’s the case, then we should contact them separately. I refuse to believe that Donnie can sway so many relationships!"

So, the four men began to divide the tasks. Robert Stewart called Albert Furr, Harry Sinclair called the Governor of Wyoming, and James O’Neal called the Governor of California!

Albert Furr was awoken by the ringing of the phone. Waking up to a call from Robert Stewart at this hour was surprising enough, but after hearing what Robert Stewart had to say, he was even more shocked and completely lost any urge to sleep!

"Stewart, I’m already aware of this matter, but what do you expect me to do about it? Are you thinking I should confront Donnie over a few worthless men?

Even if I were to confront him, do you have any evidence to prove that Donnie was behind this, or do I have any evidence?"

While Albert Furr represented the interests of the United States Oil Consortium, he wasn’t someone without independent judgment. The situation with Donnie had indeed exceeded everyone’s expectations, but after all, it was just a few veterans who had died.

Such individuals, in Albert Furr’s eyes, were less important than a bottle of fine whisky!

How could he possibly confront Donnie over this!

After all, it was Robert Stewart and the others who had broken the rules first by setting up checkpoints to control Donnie’s convoys.

In a cold voice, Robert Stewart said, "Furr, what Donnie has done is going too far. We only wanted to scare him; the ultimate goal is for us all to make money.

But with what Donnie is doing now, he’s clearly breaking our rules. If he dares to do this now, in the future, he’ll dare to do even more outrageous things. That won’t just affect our company’s business but even our future cooperation!"

Facing the veiled threat from Robert Stewart, Albert Furr showed a look of dissatisfaction.

But considering that their interests were deeply entangled, he could only say in resignation, "Alright, I can call Donnie about this, but what do you want me to say to him?

I’m sure you’re aware that before this incident, Donnie had already turned down your proposal for a partnership. Now with this happening, he’s even less likely to work with you."

Robert Stewart remarked, "It’s simple. Tell Donnie to remove the roadblocks and admit his wrongs to us. Then, we can pretend that nothing ever happened!"

Albert Furr said helplessly, "Alright, I’ll try to persuade Donnie."

After hanging up the phone, Robert Stewart turned to look at Harry Sinclair and James O’Neal.

Harry Sinclair was the first to report, "California is also very unhappy about this incident. Governor William has assured us that he will have the local police thoroughly investigate the matter!"

William Stephens, the current Governor of California, a Republican, whose term lasts until 1923!

James O’Neal added, "The same goes for Wyoming."

After receiving affirmative answers from both, Robert Stewart nodded in satisfaction and declared, "In that case, things will be easy to handle. Donnie thinks that by controlling the forces of darkness, he can do whatever he wants. Now we need to tell him that it’s definitely not as easy as he thinks!"
