"If that's the case, I would be very happy!"

Having already spoken just now, Walker no longer concealed anything.

Listening to Walker's words, Maholi did not respond.

Indeed, even if Maholi had wanted to respond, he no longer had the mood to do so, for by that time he had already passed through the crowd under Walker's protection and had seen the situation in the middle.

Right in the center of the semicircular crowd stood dozens of large wooden barrels filled with whiskey, and Walker's mentioned Robert was now suited and booted, standing beside them. Not far from him were employees of the Atlantic City Broadcast company who had moved the broadcasting equipment outside.

And the journalists who had been taking pictures of Maholi and Walker, by then, had also made their way through the crowd and observed such a sight.

"This?"

Upon seeing such a scene, they suddenly thought of a possibility, and their eyes immediately turned towards Donnie Block, who stood among the crowd.

Donnie Block, too, was wearing a suit today, but he seemed deliberately understated, not wishing to put more focus on himself that day.

Time quickly reached nine o'clock in the morning, and at this time, Atlantic City Broadcast officially aired the broadcast live.

In Chicago, at the temporary office of the Shield Hotel, Harding and his campaign team were listening to the content on the radio at that time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow citizens of Atlantic City, esteemed visitors to Atlantic City, journalist friends adhering to the principles of transparency and fairness, and all American listeners in front of your radios, good morning, I am Robert Lillard, the owner of Block Tavern; I am profoundly sorry for taking up your precious time amidst our busy schedules."

"This Robert Lillard can sure talk, covering everyone!"

Harry said with a laugh after listening to the first part of Robert's speech.

Harding laughed and said, "Donnie had told me before, the friends around him are actually all quite talented!"

Harry smiled and continued to listen to what followed.

"I know everyone is deeply concerned about the unfortunate incident that happened at Block Tavern, our Atlantic City. I want to first apologize to everyone once again because our incident has worried you..."

"Today, here, I want to assure everyone through Atlantic City Broadcast that every visitor to Atlantic City can feel one hundred percent safe. The incident that happened before will not happen again...."

Upon hearing this, Harry said with a bit of disappointment, "If he just wants to use the broadcast for a clarification, I would be disappointed in Donnie!"

"Firstly, I want to clarify one thing: the liquor sold that day at Block Tavern was not brewed by us, but purchased from elsewhere!"

Robert's voice on the radio was very resounding.

But the audience outside the radio was somewhat disappointed because they felt that Robert was making excuses for himself.

"However...." Just when people were doubting, Robert changed his tone, "Regardless of whether these barrels of whiskey were brewed by us, they were sold at our tavern, so we have no intention of evading responsibility for this matter."

"This attitude is all right, but not enough!" Harry gave his assessment when he heard this.

Harding chuckled and said, "I think Donnie surely wouldn't just resort to this little trick!"

Although it was Robert speaking, neither Harding nor Harry believed that Robert was the one directing this matter. Discover more content at empire

Firstly, we at Block Tavern would like to apologize to the family of the unfortunate Phyllis and offer them a compensation of 5,000 US Dollars to express our remembrance for Mr. Phyllis.

Secondly, Block Tavern will also donate 10,000 US Dollars to the WCTU, hoping that with this ten thousand dollars, the WCTU can help more friends in need.

Finally...."

"This statement is somewhat...." Harry felt a bit conflicted upon hearing this, saying, "Donating to the WCTU is one thing, but compensating Phyllis's family 5,000 US Dollars could lead many Americans to believe that making money in Atlantic City is an easy affair. This could even potentially trigger a backlash among them!"

After considering for a moment, Harding said, "I don't think so, the amount of the compensation is indeed a bit high, but you haven't noticed, this sum of money is an enormous amount for an ordinary worker in Philadelphia; under such circumstances, they will definitely be very interested in Atlantic City, Block Tavern, and Robert.

I can assure you, after this event, no one will be able to stop the blue-collar workers from Philadelphia, New York, from having the desire to spend in Atlantic City.

Even if it means death, they would want to die in Atlantic City!"

Harry realized, "I understand, after this event is over, even if such incidents occur in Atlantic City again, it won't cause the same uproar as now. Donnie has essentially used this fifteen thousand dollars to advertise Atlantic City to the entire nation!"

Harding nodded with a smile.

.

In Trenton city, because Atlantic City Broadcast did not set up a transmitter there, the sound they heard was not very clear.

But they heard everything nonetheless.

"Your partner is not simple at all; he's got a big vision, even advertising for Atlantic City at this time!" Damai James exclaimed after listening to it all.
