America 1919

Chapter 1597 - 585: Going Up Against the Whole City

Las Vegas Boulevard is the main street of Las Vegas.

All the excellent shops are on this street.

James’s shop is also on this street.

The only difference is, Paradise Palace Bar is on the west end of Las Vegas, while James’s shop is on the east end.

Joachim Lang sat inside the dim store, in front of him a small stage, a girl vigorously dancing a heart-throbbing dance.

Joachim Lang’s seat was in a booth, and no one was allowed to sit in front of them, so as not to block the view of Joachim Lang and others.

But at this moment, Joachim Lang was not focused on the stage; he was yawning repeatedly.

The Crazy Horse Show in Las Vegas failed to pique Joachim Lang’s interest.

Neither the quality of the girls nor the allure of the dance could compare to Atlantic City.

Joachim Lang had decided, once Caesars Palace opens, he must let these uninformed bumpkins of Las Vegas witness what a true Crazy Horse Show is.

Loren Tyson temporarily redirected his attention from Joachim Lang, because at this time, one of his subordinates came over and quietly reported something to him.

Joachim Lang merely cast a slight glance at Loren Tyson, then spoke to James.

"James, have you considered my proposal? This is your last chance!"

Joachim Lang leaned back on the sofa, his large belly rising dramatically, making one question if he were pregnant, if not for his gender and size.

James was a white man...which wasn’t surprising, as in this era, anyone with some power was mostly white.

After all, at this time, black people were still seen by most as slaves.

The general consensus was that black people could only do lowly manual labor.

James instinctively glanced at Loren Tyson, then quickly withdrew his gaze, a sycophantic smile on his face.

"Honorable Mr. Lang, my business is just a small operation, and I am not an ambitious person. I just want to take care of this little shop, pass it on to my son, and then let my son pass it on to my grandson.

I am very grateful for your kindness, but due to my limited ability, I have to politely decline your generous offer, Mr. Lang!"

Joachim Lang raised an eyebrow slightly. Donnie had handed the Las Vegas casino business to them and left them with 100 bodyguards.

But to grow the company’s business, that alone was not enough.

To establish the company’s presence here, many workers were needed, some of whom could be recruited from other places.

But some positions needed local recruitment.

For example, after the opening of Caesars Palace, there would also be a Crazy Horse Show, so Joachim Lang had set his sights on James.

After all, James was in this business in Las Vegas, though not successfully, but still a professional.

So Joachim Lang hoped that after Caesars Palace opened, James would join Caesars Palace to take charge of the Crazy Horse Show business.

But unexpectedly, James refused.

However, Joachim Lang merely smiled and did not persuade James further, which surprised James.

He had been prepared with other excuses.

After watching the show on stage for a while, Joachim Lang stood up and said, "Tyson, I’m tired; I’m leaving!"

Loren Tyson stood up with a smile: "I’ll escort you!"

Joachim Lang waved it off: "No need, I can go back myself, you all continue!"

Upon finishing these words, Joachim Lang left. He knew Loren Tyson must have something to say to James.

Sure enough, after Joachim Lang left, James immediately asked Loren Tyson.

"What do they mean?"

"Hmph!" At this point, the smile vanished from Loren Tyson’s face. He merely snorted coldly and said: "What else could it mean, it’s just manipulation.

Caesars Palace is just starting construction; they must think they have plenty of time, so they remain calm, waiting until Caesars Palace is almost built before approaching you again!"

James finally sighed in relief; he wasn’t unwilling to go to Caesars Palace.

He wasn’t foolish; once he had the best Crazy Horse Show in Las Vegas.

But with Caesars Palace under construction and backed by Donnie Block’s finances.

Once Caesars Palace opens, they will certainly have Crazy Horse Shows more advanced than his.

How could he still have customers then?

"So, should we just wait now?" James asked Loren Tyson.

Loren Tyson gave a sinister smile: "Right, I forgot to tell you, Carter was just killed!"

James was surprised: "Carter is the fastest gun in Las Vegas, how incredible must Tyrone Capello be?"

Loren Tyson explained: "It wasn’t Capello himself; his subordinate took Carter by surprise and shot him dead!"

James found it even harder to understand: "What audacity, that’s breaking the rules of Las Vegas!"

Loren Tyson dismissively waved his hand, "So what, they have 100 fully armed men.

And with Dwight’s presence, who can match them in Las Vegas?"
