America 1919

Maholi listened to Walker\'s introduction, looking at the black community outside and reflected, "The black community here is different from New York\'s."

Walker explained, "Atlantic City has a lot of service industries that require black labor, which is why the standard of living for black people here is somewhat better than in New York."

Maholi chuckled softly, "I suppose it also has something to do with black people having the same number of votes as white people, right?"

Walker laughed heartily, "Seeing through things without saying them is something Donnie often says!"

Maholi smiled and nodded. When the car crossed Chicago Avenue and reached a dirt road, it indicated they had left the city.

"So the main character of today\'s event is naturally Donnie Block?"

Walker shook his head, "Today\'s protagonist isn\'t Donnie, but Robert you\'ve met before, the owner of Block Tavern."

Although Maholi was already 32 years old, when she tilted her head pondering Walker\'s words, she still exuded a hint of girlish charm.

Seeing her like this, Walker became slightly distracted, which led to him not noticing the situation ahead.

"Careful!"

Maholi suddenly exclaimed, snapping Walker back to attention. He noticed a Ford Model T in front of him and swerved around it with a sharp turn.

"Sorry, I just..." An unsettled Walker then apologized to Maholi.

Maholi gathered her hair and shook her head, "It\'s okay, but what were you thinking about just now, Walker?"

Remembering what Donnie had once told him about pursuing girls with boldness, attention to detail, and thick skin, Walker said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was focused entirely on you just now, Maholi. These past few days, I\'ve been wanting to tell you that this time you seem much prettier than any other time I\'ve seen you!"

Maholi, flustered by Walker\'s sudden flirtatious comment, adjusted her hair again to hide her nervousness, "You said today\'s main character is Robert, but if today\'s event is really as groundbreaking as you mentioned, shaking the whole United States, shouldn\'t Donnie be the one..."

Without dwelling on his previous topic, Walker explained with a smile, "That\'s Donnie for you. He never keeps all the limelight to himself. According to Donnie, it means little if only he succeeds. True success for him comes when the people around him also find success. That\'s when his success gains meaning."

Maholi nodded slowly.

Phew!

"What was with that car just now? We almost crashed into it!"

Bob Ferry grumbled from the Ford car that Walker had just overtaken.

After his grumbling, a sense of powerlessness rose within Bob Ferry. He had thought his trip to Atlantic City would be a pleasant assignment, but instead, Robert and the others had managed to gain leverage over him.

"What on earth is Robert planning to do today? If they can\'t produce the earth-shattering news they claimed, what will I do?"

Although Bob Ferry had bowed to Robert that night, he also told Robert that the directive to focus on Block Tavern came from his newspaper\'s higher-ups and that even if he wanted to help, the newspaper wouldn\'t agree.

At that time, Robert didn\'t press the issue, only asking Bob Ferry to report truthfully about today\'s events.

Now, Bob Ferry found it hard to trust Robert\'s word.

In his view, if he didn\'t help Robert, Robert would undoubtedly expose what happened that night, and then... the consequences...

Thinking of those possible outcomes made Bob Ferry feel helpless, yet he knew he still had to drive carefully. Today, the normally deserted dirt road was teeming with people, either driving or walking—everyone seemed to be heading to the same destination as him.

"Could it be that Donnie has found a way to alter everyone\'s perception?"

Seeing so many people, Bob Ferry couldn\'t help but doubt, but for the life of him, he couldn\'t think of any way that could change the American public\'s impression of Donnie Block and Atlantic City.

With these doubts, Bob Ferry arrived at the destination. There was no need to search intentionally, as the place was already crowded with countless people.

Bob Ferry even saw the two people from the blue Rolls-Royce that had just passed him. Although "The New York Times" wasn\'t a tabloid, it was very familiar with the city\'s celebrities like Maholi Post and Walker Astor.

"How did these two end up together?"

Bob Ferry wondered, but didn\'t forget to take out his camera and snap a picture of both in the same frame. Experience tales at empire

At that moment, not only Bob Ferry but also other journalists recognized Maholi Post and Walker Astor and began photographing them.

"It looks like once we return to New York, the news about the two of us will be flying all over the place!"

Facing the photographers, Maholi smiled unconcernedly.
