Chapter 1360: Chapter 466: The Local Boss’s Greeting (Part 2)
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Henry Dale asked Donnie.
"You go outside and handle those people coming soon. As for this matter, I’m quite interested to see how Calles and Monroe will handle it."
Donnie instructed Henry Dale.
"Yes!"
Henry Dale left Donnie’s room.
Levin Peters had a simpler idea: "Boss, my men can guarantee to eliminate Monroe without anyone knowing. It definitely won’t cause any trouble for you!"
Donnie waved his hand, "It’s not that simple. If you act, it won’t just be a business matter!"
Afterwards, Donnie didn’t want to say anything more and returned to his bedroom, feeling relatively secure as there were people guarding outside.
However, Donnie definitely couldn’t sleep well tonight. Some people could be stopped by Henry Dale, and some couldn’t.
For instance, Dwight Morrow, who soon received the news, arrived at Donnie’s room.
Donnie could only get out of bed.
"Mr. Block, I’ve personally called Calles and, as the U.S. ambassador, demanded an explanation from him, otherwise this will impact relations between the United States and Mexico!"
Dwight Morrow was also startled upon hearing this news. He knew how important Donnie was; if anything happened to Donnie in Mexico, it could directly trigger a second war between the United States and Mexico!
A Mexican politician dared to act against the head of one of the U.S.’s top families, which was not just a provocation against Donnie, but against the entire United States.
Donnie laughed, "I guess Calles will certainly be very outraged by this matter and will certainly say he’ll find the true culprit in the shortest time."
Dwight Morrow nodded helplessly, "That’s right."
Such an official answer; but indeed, such an answer is as good as nonsense.
When the time comes, they’ll just find a scapegoat, as is done worldwide.
At this moment, the phone on Donnie’s desk rang, and Donnie looked at the ringing phone, smiling as he said to Dwight Morrow, "Mr. Monroe, I bet this is Mr. Calles calling!"
Dwight Morrow smiled, "I also think it’s him calling."
Donnie answered the phone, and Calles’s voice came through, "God bless, Mr. Block, that nothing happened to you!"
Donnie laughed, "Perhaps the person who acted was a bit cowardly, so he didn’t dare touch my car, only blew up two cars belonging to others. The car owners are outside at this moment, angrily shouting!"
On the other end, Calles was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Mr. Block, rest assured, I will bring the culprit to you!"
Donnie asked, "Mr. Calles, are you talking about Mr. Monroe?"
Calles was silent again, then laughed, "Mr. Block, you must be joking; Monroe wouldn’t do such a thing!"
Donnie impatiently said, "Alright, since you say so, I won’t say anything more. As for the culprit, there’s no need to bring them to me, what’s the point of one more death!"
Calles didn’t answer.
Donnie asked, "But through this incident, it also showed me that the situation in Mexico is indeed not suitable for me to stay long. Since Mr. Calles called, why don’t we talk about the cooperation we discussed before?"
Calles sighed regretfully, "I’m very sorry, Mr. Block, but our cooperation may not be possible. The situation within Mexico is too complicated."
Donnie’s tone had no regret, simply stating calmly, "Since that’s the case, I won’t stay long in Mexico. I hope that when there’s time in the future, Mr. Calles will come to the United States, and I will warmly host you!"
"In that case, I thank Mr. Block in advance!"
Calles thanked.
The two hung up the phone.
Dwight Morrow said, "It seems Monroe’s bomb also showed Calles his stance."
Donnie didn’t respond to Dwight Morrow but instead instructed Levin Peters, "Call our ship, tell them I will board at noon tomorrow!"
"Yes, boss!"
Levin Peters went to make the call.
Dwight Morrow looked at Donnie in surprise. If Donnie chooses to leave Mexico at this time, it means Donnie is backing down from this matter, which is not a good thing for Donnie’s reputation.
"Mr. Block, you’re leaving Mexico?"
Donnie nodded, "Of course, didn’t Mr. Monroe see that they already placed bombs outside the hotel where I live?"
"But..." Dwight Morrow didn’t know how to express his thoughts to Donnie, as such thoughts were somewhat disrespectful to Donnie.
Donnie knew what Dwight Morrow wanted to say and smiled at him, "Mr. Monroe, for the next two years, the business of Venus Bank in Mexico will be entrusted to you."
Dwight Morrow looked at Donnie in surprise. They had previously discussed that if Calles agreed to Donnie’s cooperation, Dwight Morrow would remain in Mexico for two years, but if Calles did not agree, Donnie would arrange his return to the United States.
Now that Donnie said this...
Dwight Morrow understood Donnie must have follow-up plans that he hadn’t shared!
But what kind of plans could Donnie have that would make the President of Mexico and the leader of the Labor Party yield?
"The boss has already arranged it!" Levin Peters returned to Donnie’s side.
"Gather our people, no need to sleep tonight, we leave at dawn!"
"Yes!"
.
In the Mexican Presidential Office, Calles looked gloomily at Monroe sitting across from him, shouting loudly, "Donnie Block already knows it’s all your doing, how dare you be so bold as to act against Donnie Block?"
"Mr. President, this is Mexico!" Monroe said calmly, "Besides, even if Donnie knows, what can he do? I didn’t blow up his car."
"You still want to blow up his car? This would become a serious diplomatic incident, didn’t you just hear the White House called me!"
Calles still couldn’t understand Monroe’s boldness.
"Didn’t we agree before? First agree to Donnie’s plan, wait until his funds come in, then use his funds to build the casino we want?"
Monroe gestured dismissively, "Mr. President, you said before, Donnie Block is a very strong person; if his funds come in, can we really hold on to them?"
"I..."
Calles naturally knew Monroe wouldn’t believe him; they weren’t entirely trusting each other.
"Mr. President, didn’t Donnie Block just say on the phone? He’s already preparing to leave Mexico, plus those weapons he previously donated are still in our hands, isn’t it better if he leaves?"
Monroe said.
Calles also knew this was not the time to fall out with Monroe, "Such a thing should only happen once, I don’t want you to take any more unauthorized actions without my orders. Additionally, 25% of the casino profits must be given up!"
Monroe’s face changed slightly, then he smiled, "Alright, no one in Mexico can defy your orders, Mr. President!"
Calles finally showed a satisfied smile.
At this moment, the phone in Calles’s office rang, and after answering, he said to Monroe, "Donnie’s people have already called his fleet, and they will leave Mexico at dawn!"
