America 1919

At the exit of the Atlantic City train station, Dick Hoblatt, dressed in a dark coat and a round hat, chewing on a cigarette, leaned against a freshly mass-produced Duesenberg Model A car.

This was a black convertible two-seater model that was at the forefront of the latest trends in cars in the United States.

Most importantly, this car had a sale price of $2030, a luxury vehicle unattainable for the average person.

However, that price was somewhat trivial for Dick Hoblatt, who had become one of John's biggest earners.

"Dick, who's coming today that you're personally here to meet them?"

Hiro Sabo, one of Dick Hoblatt's underlings, asked with some curiosity.

Hoblatt chuckled and said, "The guest coming today is Mr. Block's important visitor. I wouldn't trust leaving this to you guys!"

Hiro revealed an envious look and said, "Mr. Block's important guest, that must be some big shot!"

Hoblatt corrected him, "That's why you and I started at the same time, but I'm the one driving a Model A now, and you can only drive a Ford. Mr. Block's important guests aren't necessarily big shots, but they are definitely people who are useful to Mr. Block. Don't always focus on those so-called big shots. Understand who is more important to Mr.

Block. Only then will you be able to manage a block just like me!"

Hiro immediately adopted a studious demeanor and replied, "Got it!"

At that moment, a man dressed similarly to Hoblatt, carrying a suitcase, walked out of the station.

With just one glance, Hoblatt knew this was the man he was there to meet today.

As Hoblatt approached him, Hiro had just pulled out the photo to confirm that this was the man Donnie was supposed to meet.

"Mr. Keens, hello. I've been sent by Mr. Block to pick you up!"

After speaking, Hoblatt smoothly took the man's suitcase and headed towards his car, saying as they walked,

"Mr. Block is already waiting for you at the tavern.... Oh, our Mr. Block really likes to receive his guests in his own tavern, because, as Mr. Block has said, the tavern is his home. Receiving his guests in his own home is the greatest sign of respect!"

Keens took off his hat and smiled, "I had already heard of Mr. Block's reputation back in Denver. Being invited by Mr. Block is indeed an honor for me."

The car started moving, and Hoblatt drove while he continued talking,

"Mr. Block is very hospitable, and I'm sure he will take good care of you, Mr. Keens. However, Mr. Block is really tied up with lots to do now, so there might be some shortcomings in his hospitality. That's why Mr.

Block has arranged for me to take care of your schedule in Atlantic City. For the next few days in Atlantic City, Mr. Keens, you can command me as you wish for anything you need.

By the way, I've already booked a room for you at the Ritz Hotel, and my room is right next to yours, making it easy to find me whenever you need anything!"

Keens expressed his gratitude, "I am very thankful for Mr. Block's arrangements!"

The two chatted casually all the way to Block Tavern.

As Keens entered, he was greeted by the lively scene inside Block Tavern.

The most popular jazz music, beautiful dancing girls, sexy bunny girls, and guests who flitted about freely—this place was simply a paradise on earth!

Guided by Hoblatt, Keens met Donnie Block near the dance floor, chatting with friends.

"Boss, this is Mr. Doc Keens!"

Upon seeing Doc Keens, Donnie rose from his seat to greet him with a hug, "Mr. Keens, welcome to Atlantic City!"

Keens responded by patting Donnie's shoulder with warmth, "Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Block!"

After they parted, the guest who had been chatting with Donnie stood up to leave, indicating that since Donnie had a friend over, he would take his leave.

Once the man had left, Donnie called over a bunny girl to replace Keens's glass with a fresh one!

"Mr. Block, I am so sorry, Jack was supposed to come with me, but as you know, he's been training lately, so he couldn't make it!"

Keens said apologetically while holding his glass.

Jack Dempsey, as the current famous heavyweight champion of America, certainly had a substantial wealth, which would guarantee him a comfortable life if managed well.

But Jack Dempsey and his manager Doc Keens were very much aware that his fame had reached a plateau.

To further boost his popularity, he needed a nationwide broadcasted match that would prove his worth.

And today, the most influential nationwide broadcast was the Atlantic City Broadcast, so upon receiving Donnie's invitation, Doc Keens immediately decided to come to Atlantic City.

He was eager to see what kind of surprise Donnie could bring them!

"Doc, I prefer to be straightforward!" Donnie sat on the comfortable sofa, watching the flirtatious dancing girls in the pool, speaking to Doc Keens, Stay tuned with empire
