Chapter 253: 126, Hoover
"Is your matter with Mordaliz important?"
After dining with Dick, Donnie met John and asked him about his situation with Mordaliz.
John waved his hand grandly, boasting, "A small matter, I've already settled it with Moor!"
Donnie sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette for himself, and then showed an intrigued expression, "From what you're saying, it's not only that you've resolved the conflict between you two, but you've also become good friends?"
John chuckled, "You got that right. Moor is different from the others in Cleveland, very sincere; he speaks his mind. We had a good drink, and all the remaining issues were resolved!"
After hearing this, Donnie laughed heartily. Although he knew that the drinking must have been fierce, he didn't ask for specifics. After all, as long as the problem was resolved, that's what mattered.

"It seems I was right to have put John in this position!"
After thinking for a moment, Donnie said to John, "Even though you've resolved your issue with Moor, I'm sure the conflicts between others will not be so easily solved. Keep an eye out during this time to see who has conflicts with whom and who is communicating with whom."
The Family Alliance that Donnie was organizing behind the scenes was far stronger than the Seven Gangsters group Nucky had organized in his previous life.
Historically, it was in 1929 that Nucky organized the meeting of the Seven Gangsters, which consisted of the Bugg and Meyer factions that ruled New York, Adonis Joe from Brooklyn, Longy Zwillman and Willie Moretti who ruled Long Island and the northern part of New Jersey, King Solomon who controlled Boston and New England, Harry Rosenthal from Philadelphia, and the growing Luciano and Nucky from Atlantic City.
Just this Seven Gangsters alliance, which was limited to the eastern United States, had already produced several conflicts during their meeting.
All the more so for Donnie's nationwide Family Alliance.
As for Al Capone from Chicago, who is well known, although he participated in the first meeting of the Seven Gangsters, he was not considered a member; the actual reason for the formation of the Seven Gangsters was to warn Capone about the "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" he had executed.
This incident can be seen as one of the reasons for the establishment of the Seven Gangsters!
"No problem, I'll keep an eye on this!" After John said this, he turned directly to Dwight, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Did you hear what Donnie said? You need to pay attention, got it?"
Dwight nodded helplessly.
"By the way, Donnie, I saw Nucky on the boardwalk today. Nucky was asking about you coming back. I think he wants to see you, but I'm somewhat puzzled. Given your current relationship, does he need to go through me to inquire about your whereabouts?"
John asked Donnie, somewhat perplexed.
Donnie asked with a smile, "How do you know that Nucky's asking about me means he wants to see me?"
John pointed at Dwight and said, "Dwight told me!"
Donnie looked at Dwight and asked, "Then how did you figure that Nucky wants to see me?"
Dwight explained, "Now, so many city bosses have come to Atlantic City, they have rubbed up a number of issues against each other, and ensuring that this alliance conference goes smoothly will definitely be a very difficult task.
Now this must be giving Nucky a headache, but due to his own status, I guess he can't come and inquire directly from you, the boss, because that would make him seem somewhat incapable, so he wanted to use Boss John's words to let you know about the situation!"
Donnie asked John, "Do you understand what that means?"
"So that's how it is!" John scratched his head and said, "Nucky really makes things too complicated for such a small matter that could have been settled by asking you directly!"
Dwight explained on Donnie's behalf, "Because Nucky is the King of Atlantic City, and a king must maintain his own dignity. Now your prestige in Atlantic City is already on par with Nucky's, you're just lacking in the government sector, which to him is actually not a good thing, so that's why he did it this way!"
"OK!" John waved his hand and said, "That's your issue, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I'd rather think about where to drink with old Moor tonight!"
After speaking, John got up and said to Donnie, "Is there anything else?"
Donnie said, "Keep one thing in mind, their conflicts are their own business, we don't need to bother with that. What we need to do is, through our hands, sell them even more bootleg liquor!"
"OK!"
John left laughing with Dwight!
Donnie just smiled and shook his head as he watched John's retreating figure and said nothing!
As for Nucky wanting to meet him, Donnie was not in a hurry; after all, it was Nucky who would be anxious in the end, the one wanting to resolve issues.
He only needed to wait and see, when Nucky could no longer hold out!
To Donnie's surprise, before Nucky came to find him, someone unexpected appeared in Atlantic City.
"Good day, Mr. Block, I am GID Edgar Hoover, very pleased to meet you!"
Standing in Block Tavern, Donnie faced the man who was not as handsome as Leonardo DiCaprio but who had eagle-like eyes, and smiled.
