America 1919

"What? Vince was released by Eli?"

Donnie learned of this news from Robert's mouth, and even he was very surprised after hearing it.

To know that Vince McGrady was captured by Nucky's orders, used to combat the Brigadier's brazenness, and now Eli Johnson had actually let him go.

Wasn't this running counter to Nucky's decision?

"Yes," Robert confirmed, "It was just this afternoon, Sean told me!"

Sean Beal, a small-time police officer in the public order department, often liked to have a drink at Scott's tavern. Robert had taken notice of him after Donnie instructed him to cultivate some of his own power; over this period, Robert had already spent over 300 US dollars on him.

Donnie sat there, gently tapping on the table, his expression gradually changing from confusion to happiness.

It was then that Donnie remembered something about the brothers Nucky and Eli, recalling that later Eli Johnson, dissatisfied with his brother's disdain for him, had actually sided with the Brigadier to conspire against his own brother.

That had been one of the greatest difficulties Nucky had faced in Atlantic City, but in the end, Nucky had smoothly resolved it.

And Eli Johnson had pushed all the blame onto David Jabbar, with the final outcome being...

Nucky forgave Eli Johnson and shot David Jabbar dead!

Could this be happening ahead of schedule?

"Donnie, what on earth is Eli Johnson thinking? Isn't this going against his brother's orders?"

Robert couldn't understand why Eli Johnson would do such a thing.

Donnie, having figured things out, said happily, "Isn't this good for us? We were just wondering how to increase the Brigadier's strength to better oppose Nucky, and now Eli Johnson suddenly switching sides, isn't that increasing the Brigadier's strength?"

"Are you saying Eli has defected to the Brigadier?" Robert looked at Donnie in shock, "That's impossible; Eli is Nucky's brother. Does that waste not know that only his brother would truly treat him well? If he defects to the Brigadier, wouldn't he lose his biggest support? If the Brigadier really does gain back control of Atlantic City, Eli would become completely useless!"

"That's the thinking of a smart person!" Donnie asked with a smile, "I ask you, if Nucky was your brother, and the whole of Atlantic City respected him, feared him, and his word was law in Atlantic City, how would you feel about that?"

Robert answered, "I'd be thrilled! If Nucky were my brother, why would I need to bother scheming? I'd just hit up all the brothels directly!"

Donnie continued, "But when everyone sees you, they overlook your feelings, and instead, they're eager to go through you to meet your brother. Wouldn't you feel a bit left out?"

"What's there to feel left out about!" Robert said as a matter of course, "He's my own brother. The more respect he gets, the better my life will be. As for what others think, would they dare show me disrespect to my face?"

Donnie then asked, "What if Nucky also gives you a hard time on a normal day, scolding you for no reason?"

After hearing this question, Robert fell silent. Finally, he still said happily, "It doesn't matter. After all, in the whole of Atlantic City, he's the only one who can scold me. Others still have to behave according to my wishes!"

"Haha!" Donnie couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Too bad, you're not Eli, and Eli is not you!"

"So just because of these things, Eli Johnson is going to betray his own brother?" Robert also began to understand what Donnie meant.

"More from being fearlessly assured!" Donnie concluded, "Who told him he's Nucky's brother!"

Robert laughed too, "If that's the case, we might just have a chance!"

Donnie waved his hand, "Don't rush. Right now, the most important thing is to find out how Eli and the Brigadier got in contact!"

.

Donnie had a perfect candidate in mind if he wanted to find out how Eli had gotten in touch with the Brigadier.

"Darling, this is a gift I've carefully chosen for you, take a look and see if you like it!"

This evening, in an above-average hotel in Atlantic City, Donnie took out a string of pearl necklace, and put it on Lucy.

The necklace's pearls shone brightly above her smooth collarbone as Lucy leaned back into Donnie's embrace, caressing her necklace with one hand and joyfully said.

"I love it, I really do!"

"If you love it, you'll have to pay a price for it!"

Donnie turned Lucy's body around, then pulled her into his arms, and the two of them lay straight on the bed.

.........

After the room was filled with the scent of hormones and Lucy's panting breaths.

Donnie asked the woman in his arms, "Did Nucky say when he'll be back?"

"It should be soon, but he didn't tell me the exact time. No one knows these things except for Louis!"

Lucy said with a flushed face and heavy breaths.

Donnie laughed, "So, he doesn't trust you that much, huh!"

"It's not just me!" Lucy said nonchalantly, "In the whole of Atlantic City, Louis is the only one that Nucky really trusts!"

"What about Eli, then? He's Nucky's own brother!" Donnie steered the conversation towards Eli Johnson.

"Anyway, I feel like Nucky doesn't trust Eli that much, and when the brothers meet, Nucky often scolds him!"

Lucy adjusted her body to make herself more comfortable in Donnie's embrace.

Donnie asked, "What about Eli, how does he usually treat his brother?"

Lucy looked at Donnie suspiciously and asked, "Why are you so interested in Eli today?"

Being a woman capable of being a green tea bitch, Lucy was still smart. Seeing that Donnie started asking about the relationship between Nucky and Eli, she became curious.

"Of course, I need to ask clearly. If Nucky finds out about us two, Eli, as Nucky's brother and the sheriff of Atlantic City, will definitely be the first to act against us. The more I know about Eli, the more prepared I can be!"

Donnie's big hands, one up and one down, made Lucy's consciousness start to blur.

"Ah, that's why!" Lucy excitedly cupped Donnie's face, smiling, "Dear, could it be that you can't live without me now?"

"Of course, do you want to leave me?"

Donnie answered without batting an eye.

"Dear, you really are too good!" Lucy planted a fierce kiss on Donnie's face.

"If you don't want to leave me, then help me investigate Nucky and Eli, the brothers, as thoroughly as possible. Only by doing so can we have more chips to be together!"

Donnie consoled Lucy.

Lucy nodded, then excitedly said to Donnie, "Actually, the best way to investigate Eli is to start with David Jabbar!"

Finally, something juicy!

"Why do you say that?" Donnie asked. Although he knew that the relationship between Eli and David Jabbar was very close, Donnie didn't think David Jabbar would be so foolish as to conspire with Eli against Nucky.

"I've heard Nucky and Louis complain before, saying the two of them have teamed up to do many things they thought Nucky didn't know about, but Nucky has always overlooked it because of being brothers with Eli and hasn't held them accountable!"

Lucy's hand slowly reached under the covers, and her voice turned increasingly seductive.

"But I don't know the specifics!"
