America 1919

If I lose, it's because I fought with an injury, a noble defeat.

That's the nature of a boxing match; it's an individual sport. If it were a team sport like basketball or soccer, this approach would be even better. In case of a loss, it wouldn't be just my own fault; fans could also blame my teammates—the criticism falls on them, while I retain the honor!

"Alright, we don't need to worry about those people anymore!"

Joseph Adonis waved his hand dismissively, "What we really need to focus on now are the details of this match. With this report out, I believe many people will bet on George Caponti winning in the first round, but this doesn't benefit Donnie, so I'm convinced the opposing side will definitely have Jack Dempsey win decisively!

That's why we should bring the odds for this round into our own bookmaking!

Julian Weber looked worriedly at Joseph Adonis and said, "Boss, isn't this a bit risky?"

Prior to this, although Joseph Adonis had set up his own betting shop, he had only accepted a portion of the bets on George Caponti's victory to be on the safe side, avoiding the more granular wagers.

But now, Joseph Adonis was considering joining the first-round betting, which naturally worried Julian Weber!

Greed knows no bounds!

When Joseph Adonis, driven by greed, decided to run his own book, his desire had already been ignited.

If he could earn ten thousand US dollars, he would think about how to make a hundred thousand. And once he could make a hundred thousand, he would inevitably think about how to earn a million!

This is a common flaw in humanity!

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. This bout has completely become one controlled by Donnie. All the reports are actually misleading these gamblers. Donnie would never joke about his own interests."

Since Joseph Adonis had made this move, naturally he had a theory to support it!

Julian Weber saw no issue with Joseph Adonis's plan,

.

In Atlantic City, at the construction site of the Surf Hotel.

Donnie and Robert were inspecting the progress of the project. The exterior work of the entire Surf Hotel had now finished, and the interior decoration had begun.

"Is Joseph really that foolish?"

Robert stood on the second floor of the Surf Hotel, looking down at the hall's decoration, and curiously asked.

Leaning against the railing, Donnie said, "Of course Joseph isn't foolish, otherwise he wouldn't have become the mob boss of Los Angeles. However, greed can easily reduce a man's IQ to negative numbers. Nowadays, you can't view Joseph from an ordinary perspective!"

Previously, Donnie had analyzed Joseph's behavior for Robert.

And the biggest issue, according to Donnie, was that Joseph Adonis would certainly tamper with the first-round betting between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti!

"I believe that Joseph must think that we, in pursuit of greater profits, would ensure Jack Dempsey's decisive victory in the first round, so he certainly won't miss this opportunity!"

Robert first nodded, then asked, "But wouldn't letting Jack Dempsey lose to George Caponti in the first round affect our revenues?"

Donnie laughed, "Of course not. When have you ever heard of the bookmaker losing? The betting on the first round is just a small part of the entire country's vast betting pool, and it won't have any significant impact on the profit from the whole event!

This is just like when we manipulated the Miss America pageant!"

Only then did Robert nod in relief, saying, "Now the only major difficulty that remains is whether Max and his people betting on George Caponti to win might draw Joseph's attention!"

Confidently, Donnie stated, "It will certainly attract Joseph's attention, but don't worry. If everything goes according to our plan, Joseph, blinded by greed, won't take this matter too seriously. He will just think that Max and his people are betting too little, given that he believes he already knows the outcome of this round!"

After a pause, Donnie continued, "However, to avoid any problems, you should still send some people to protect Max and the others. After all, Joseph won't be able to accept the actual result when it comes out!"

Robert nodded, "I understand. I've already deployed a team of twenty people. There won't be any problems!"

Only then did Donnie feel reassured. Max and his group, despite their decent development in Los Angeles, still had a huge gap compared to Joseph.

"These men are just to ensure that nothing happens to Max and his group, to avoid any direct conflicts with Joseph as much as possible!"

To ensure that the rest of the Family Alliance nationwide wouldn't become disloyal or dissent due to this incident, the person to deal with Joseph Adonis could not be Donnie.

As for the specific choice of person, Donnie had already selected someone and had also discussed it with them!

The matter of Joseph Adonis was not of paramount importance to Donnie. After arranging all his plans, he left Atlantic City and went to Boise City.
