"Is David Jabbar really that important?"


    At the Block Tavern, Robert was also suggesting to Donnie that they should set their sights on David Jabbar''s The Fuli Tavern.


    As the top-ranked tavern in Antic City, calling it the treasure house of Antic City was by no means an exaggeration.


    Donnie had previously visited The Fuli Tavern, where the first two floors were prepared for guests. In reality, The Fuli Tavern consisted of four floors: the tavern upied the first and second levels, the third level was a brothel, and the fourth a gambling den.


    Here, one could enjoy all the services that Antic City had to offer.


    However, after hearing Robert''s suggestion, Donnie thought it wise to hold off, as David Jabbar was no ordinary person.


    But Robert was surprised by Donnie''s hesitation, "Didn''t you easily turn down David Jabbar''s request before?"


    Donnie waved his hand, "That was because Nucky was standing by our side at that time, which allowed us to easily refuse David Jabbar."


    In the city of Antic City, David Jabbar, a Bostonian, had managed to survive through the eras of the Commodore and Nucky, the two emperors of Antic City, and even be the owner of the city''srgest tavern.


    "Do you really think such a person is just a regr businessman?"


    Robert fell silent. He had not considered these matters, merely thinking that since they wanted to expand their business in Antic City, naturally they should target the biggest catch.


    "So you''re saying, we should just look for other targets?"


    Donnie shook his head again, "Your idea isn''t wrong, but we still need to carefully consider the process!"


    If they could take over The Fuli Tavern, then Donnie could truly leap the dragon''s gate and be one of the upper echelons of Antic City.


    If it were John, he would have bluntly told Donnie, "This brainy stuff, you handle it yourself!"


    Robert was not that type of person, though; he might have beenscivious and frivolous, but he did like to use his brain. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have be an ace in the military!


    Robert thought for a moment and asked, "If we really want to make a move on David Jabbar, who would be our biggest obstacle in the early stages?"


    "Eli Johnson!"


    Donnie answered directly. In fact, before Robert proposed acquiring The Fuli Tavern, Donnie had already set his sights on it.


    Therefore, Donnie had already done some investigation into The Fuli Tavern.


    David Jabbar and Eli Johnson were very close friends - so much so that Donnie even suspected that Eli Johnson had a stake in The Fuli Tavern.


    If Donnie wanted to make a move on David Jabbar, it meant he would be messing with Eli Johnson''s cake, and thetter would certainly not let it go easily. Moreover, there was already enmity between Donnie and Eli Johnson!


    Robert was somewhat distressed, saying helplessly, "Does it have to be such a formidable figure right from the start? That''s Eli Johnson. Although the man is a fool, his brother is Nucky, and he himself is the sheriff!"


    In the future, Eli Johnson would be akin to the police chief of Antic City.


    Such a man, even if he were ipetent, was still not someone the current Donnie could handle!


    "High risk represents high reward; don''t you even know that?" Donnie replied, seemingly unconcerned.


    Robert: "I do know, but this risk is extremely high. One misstep, and it might backfire severely!"


    Donnie had no objections to this. He thought for a moment and said, "We still need to n this out carefully!"


    "Alright then!" That was Robert for you. Although he thought the venture was quite risky, if Donnie had decided on it, he would still perfectly carry out whatever Donnie charged him with.


    "What do you think of Dwight? Can we trust him?"


    Suddenly, Donnie asked Robert about Dwight.


    Robert thought for a moment and grasped Donnie''s intention, "Do you intend to assign Dwight to keep an eye on David Jabbar?"


    Donnie nodded, "Exactly, although we now have quite a few people on our side, Dwight is the only one who can do this job!"


    Robert said, "The man is somewhat slippery. I can''t be sure about him right now. I think I should handle this matter myself!"


    Surveilling someone like David Jabbar had to be done secretly, without leaking a shred of information. The people currently with Donnie, who had followed him from Elwood Vige, had no idea how formidable the Johnson brothers were in Antic City.


    They would simply follow orders without question.


    However, Dwight was different. Being a native of Antic City, he must have a natural fear of the city''s power yers like David Jabbar.


    If Donnie were to assign the task to him now, Donnie even suspected that Dwight might turn around and inform David Jabbar!


    "We''re not short of people for rough work, but weck those who can handle delicate tasks carefully!"


    Donnie sat there, speaking somewhat helplessly.


    Donnie now had only Robert to handle the delicate tasks, but as Robert''s status gradually elevated, he would eventually be unable to entrust such tasks to him. Thus, Donnie needed some additional hands for the fine work, hands that would also possess the loyalty that Donnie could trust.


    After pondering for a moment, Robert spoke up, "I do have a suggestion."


    "What''s the suggestion?" Donnie asked immediately.


    "When I was in the military, I had a few brothers I could trust to have my back, and I believe you must have had such brothers in the army too. Why not write to them and ask them toe help you?"


    Robert shared his idea with Donnie.


    Upon hearing it, a light bulb went off in Donnie''s mind. Why hadn''t he thought of this before? Right, his focus had been on Antic City, so he had overlooked this matter.


    In any country, brothers who have shouldered guns and faced death together share a strong bond.


    "Robert, don''t worry, there will be no room for doubt between us, and you can also write to your brothers and ask them toe over!"


    Donnie said with a smile, understanding that Robert''s suggestion to write to his own brothers was more about ensuring his own safety.


    Robertughed after hearing this, "No problem!"


    .


    David Jabbar was not in a good moodtely.


    "Dear Eli, are we really just going to watch Donnie Block grow slowly?"


    The source of David Jabbar''s disquiet was none other than Donnie Block.


    Though Donnie did not currently have the financial power topete with David, their rtionship was such that David needed Donnie even more.


    The prohibition seemed to have no ce to survive in Antic City, but the supply of alcohol was bing increasingly difficult within the United States. Especially now that the National Government-trained prohibition agents had entered every state to investigate. The prohibition and the crackdown on alcohol sales had caused the prices of alcohol to skyrocket swiftly.


    At the start of prohibition, the price of alcohol in Antic City surged by 70%, but as of now, the price of alcohol had already doubled!


    LeBron James''s alcohol, although priced the same as the liquor provided by Donnie, did not match the quality of Donnie''s.


    The Fuli Tavern, being thergest and most luxurious tavern in Antic City, naturally needed to serve the best alcohol.


    Therefore, The Fuli Tavern had two sources for its alcohol supply: the first was to buy smuggled alcohol from Europe at higher prices through Nucky, and the second was to purchase it from Donnie.


    David had no issues with Nucky making money, after all, Nucky was out of his league and not someone he could afford to provoke.


    But Donnie was different; a few months ago, Donnie was still a nobody in front of him, but now, he had to pay Donnie.


    This psychological gap was something David Jabbar could not ept.


    Especially since he could have had Donnie Block under his thumb before this.


    Eli Johnson sat across from David, gently swirling his whiskey in hand, and said calmly, "You don''t need to worry too much about Donnie. It won''t be long before his business changes hands!"


    David immediately showed an interested expression and asked, "Has Nucky finally run out of patience with Donnie Block''s rise?"


    Eli: "You don''t need to be concerned about that. Just be ready to take over Donnie Block''s business when the timees!"


    David Jabbar smirked slightly. He couldn''t ept Eli Johnson''s words because he knew Nucky, and he understood that his current business in Antic City had reached its peak, and Nucky would not allow him to expand his business further.


    Because that would mean escaping Nucky''s control.


    "I''ll leave that to you. As for you, Eli, I think you could have a serious chat with your brother. If you manage to get Donnie''s business, that would be great!"


    Eliughed, "Don''t worry, what''s mine will be yours too!"


    "Haha, that''s true, considering you also have shares in The Fuli Tavern!" said David Jabbar, raising his ss.


    The two clinked sses, exchanged a few words of small talk, and then two scantily d women approached them. Each man took one, and the atmosphere was lively withughter and chatter.


    Late at night, David, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly felt an inexplicable terror, and his eyes snapped open to discover a man in a leather jacket, holding a pistol, sitting next to his bed.


    "Who are you?"


    David asked in horror; if this man coulde to his bedroom soundlessly, he could kill him just as silently.


    "It doesn''t matter who I am. What matters is that someone asked me to deliver a message to you," the assassin said calmly while seated.


    David breathed a slight sigh of relief. Such a statement from the other party meant that his safety was probably not at risk.


    "What message?"


    "My boss asked me to remind you, do you still remember the brigadier who set up The Fuli Tavern for you ten years ago?"
