America 1919

Chapter 1598 - 585: Going Up Against the Whole City

Nowadays, Las Vegas is too small, with only over eight thousand people. Under deliberate surveillance, it’s impossible to conceal Dwight’s presence!

"Are we really going to do nothing?"

James asked worriedly.

Laurence Tyson smiled smugly: "The great United States is a law-governed society; now someone is shooting ordinary citizens on the street. The Security Department should take action, right?"

James looked at Laurence Tyson puzzled, but eventually spoke.

"Tyson, you know the Security Department can hardly deal with them, right?"

Laurence Tyson chuckled and said: "Of course I know!"

.

When Joachim Lang returned to the hotel under the protection of bodyguards, he saw them confronting Las Vegas Security Department personnel.

On their side, they had the advantage both in numbers and weaponry.

Yet, the few Security Department officers had the backing of official authority, and despite being only three, their demeanor showed no compromise.

"Are you trying to resist federal law?"

The head was Baulson Justin, the chief of the Las Vegas Security Department.

This was unavoidable; the entire Las Vegas Security Department consisted of barely twenty people.

Among them, some were in civilian roles, making active personnel scarce.

Facing Baulson Justin was Willis Eddie, a captain from the defense team.

"Honorable Chief, I don’t know what you’re talking about. We are merely tourists in Las Vegas. If you make baseless accusations, we will take this to court!"

Baulson Justin’s expression became grim, yet he recounted the incident that occurred at the Paradise Palace Bar previously.

"We have investigated thoroughly; the shooter is among you, and we need to take that person for questioning now."

Willis Eddie sneered: "Chief Justin, do you have evidence to prove the person is one of us?

As for the incident you mentioned, we’re aware of it; the person had merely passed by Paradise Palace Bar. How do we know if there was personal enmity between the shooter and Carter?

If you claim the person is ours without evidence, we reserve the right to sue you!"

Baulson Justin took a deep breath, he knew today’s task would be tough indeed.

But he hadn’t expected such strong opposition.

"All the patrons of Paradise Palace Bar can testify!"

Willis Eddie scoffed: "Is that so? Then please bring a warrant, we are waiting!

But for now, without a warrant, please leave immediately!"

Baulson Justin fumed; if he waited for a warrant, the person would likely be gone from Las Vegas already.

But given the current situation, it was clear they couldn’t take anyone away.

"Don’t forget this is Las Vegas, not Atlantic City!"

Willis Eddie laughed, "Chief Justin, don’t forget, this belongs to the United States federation. Are you sure you want to oppose Atlantic City?"

Baulson Justin hesitated.

He naturally understood what Atlantic City represented.

Considering he was just doing a job for money, there was no need to deadlock things.

But he couldn’t stand their attitude and could only snort coldly, leaving with his men!

Once Baulson Justin was gone, Willis Eddie approached Joachim Lang.

"Sir, you’re back!"

Joachim Lang nodded and asked, "What happened?"

Baulson Justin explained the incident at Paradise Palace Bar to Joachim Lang.

Joachim Lang laughed heartily: "Then I should go comfort Capello!"

Baulson Justin awkwardly stopped Joachim Lang.

"Sir, I think Mr. Capello might not have time to chat with you right now!"

Joachim Lang paused and asked, "Why?"

"Mr. Capello brought Miss Fiona back!"

Willis Eddie replied.

Joachim Lang’s expression suddenly changed; he had gone to see Las Vegas’s Crazy Horse Show but hadn’t brought back any girl.

Yet, Tyrone Capello went to the bar once and brought back a girl.

This made Joachim Lang quite displeased.

"Wasn’t it said that woman wasn’t fond of Capello?"

In fact, Joachim Lang knew Tyrone Capello pursued the married Fiona Bass.

Willis Eddie replied: "Bass has signed a divorce agreement with Fiona, and he left Las Vegas just five minutes ago!"

Joachim Lang clicked his tongue: "He’s really quick!"

Willis Eddie dared not criticize Tyrone Capello’s lifestyle but instead asked Joachim Lang.

"Sir, what should we do about Davis?"

Davis was the one who directly shot Carter.

"What do you mean, what to do?" Joachim Lang took a $100 US Dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to Willis Eddie.

"Give this money to Davis, and let him stay in Las Vegas peacefully; I really want to see who dares arrest our people!"

Willis Eddie accepted the money and laughed: "Indeed it is!"

.

Next day!

Joachim Lang was having breakfast with Tyrone Capello, Fiona Bass sitting nearby.

"How did your talk with James go yesterday?"

Tyrone Capello asked Joachim Lang while receiving orange juice from Fiona Bass.

Joachim Lang enviously glanced at Tyrone Capello; although Fiona Bass might not be considered absolutely beautiful, she carried a cold aura.

And such aura provokes a desire to conquer her.

"How else? Just as we expected, declined!"

Tyrone Capello nodded and said: "Seems they have formed their own alliance of interests!"

Joachim Lang sneered: "Nothing but some mediocre players, really think we can’t do without them!"

Tyrone Capello shook his head and said: "That’s not correct; these people are influential in Las Vegas and have been operating for years. Our aim is to incorporate them!"

Joachim Lang, however, had different thoughts.

"Incorporation means they can be incorporated, not like flies buzzing around us.

Nor should it be them feeling useful and daring enough to play dirty tricks on us!"

Tyrone Capello nodded. Although he wanted a peaceful incorporation of Las Vegas individuals, he indeed couldn’t let them feel irreplaceable and resort to all sorts of little tricks.

"By the way, about yesterday’s incident, what do you think?"

Tyrone Capello asked Joachim Lang.

Joachim Lang replied: "What else, surely it’s someone trying to send a warning, letting us know Las Vegas is not Atlantic City. If we want to do business here, we must follow their rules!"

Tyrone Capello nodded and said: "I’m thinking the same thing. Place more people by your side; I worry someone might resort to desperate measures!"

Joachim Lang chuckled, saying: "Don’t worry, I’m more cautious than you!"

At this point, Joachim Lang glanced at Fiona and continued.

"But I think there’s more to this; knowing that we aren’t troubled by these current events, they still did this; what do you think their intentions are?"

Tyrone Capello shook his head at this, saying: "I’m not sure either, but we should always be cautious. If we fail here, we’ll have no face to return to Atlantic City!"

Joachim Lang nodded.

At this moment, Fiona, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"Gunning down Carter, Las Vegas’s top gunslinger, has now blocked Las Vegas Security Department personnel.

Coupled with your stance in Las Vegas, this could very likely stir widespread dissatisfaction amongst Las Vegas people.

If the entire Las Vegas community becomes discontented with you, many things will become challenging!"

Tyrone Capello and Joachim Lang’s expressions slightly shifted!
