Chapter 1611 - 592: The Name Donnie Block Is Enough!
Mexico City, Caesars Palace.
Since the establishment of Caesars Palace in Mexico City, it has been destined to be the most luxurious hotel in all of Mexico.
Anyone who comes to Mexico who doesn’t stay at least once at Caesars Palace might as well have not visited Mexico at all.
Joe Charles naturally stayed at Caesars Palace upon arriving in Mexico City.
Although Joe Charles holds no regard for Donnie Block!
Joe Charles is the archetype of a British traditional nobleman.
Simply put, he is old money!
In Joe Charles’s eyes, Donnie Block is merely new money!
In fact, Joe Charles doesn’t just look down on Donnie; he disdains all wealthy people from the United States.
At this moment, Joe Charles sits on the sofa in his suite’s living room, with a steaming cup of tea on the coffee table before him.
Standing beside Charles is Wally Meyer, a butler in his sixties, dressed in a three-piece suit.
"I heard Donnie Block arrived in Mexico City last night?"
At a mere glance from Joe Charles towards the tea on the table, Wally Meyer picked it up for him.
Joe Charles took the tea without any expression.
"Yes, sir!" Wally Meyer reported to Joe Charles: "After arriving in Mexico City last night, Donnie Block went directly to the Presidential Office to meet with Escovar and Aguirre.
However, I haven’t yet figured out what they discussed."
Saying this, Wally Meyer showed a hint of anxiousness.
Joe Charles chuckled and said, "What else could they have discussed? Just matters concerning those two silver mines in Mexico!"
Wally Meyer respectfully said, "Your insight is indeed comprehensive, sir!"
Joe Charles complained slightly, "It’s already 10 AM, and that Donnie Block has yet to pay his respects. How detestable!"
Wally Meyer echoed, "Truly detestable, that Donnie Block is!"
Joe Charles remarked, "Riding on the influence of the Bock Family and Churchill, lacking in proper education, just a bumpkin who got lucky and made some money, now looks down on others!"
Regarding Donnie’s situation, Joe Charles understood well.
He knew about Donnie Block’s ties to the Bock Family and his connection with Churchill!
This wasn’t a secret in the United Kingdom.
Speaking of the Bock Family, Joe Charles scoffed, "That old Bock has truly shamed us British nobles, letting his daughter follow Donnie Block in such a shameful manner."
Wally Meyer nodded, "The actions of Earl Bock are indeed regrettable!"
In the United Kingdom, the conduct of Earl Bock was despised by the British nobility.
As Joe Charles put it, they believed Earl Bock’s sycophantic behavior towards Donnie was a disgrace to the British nobility.
However, nobles with the absolute financial power and influence like Joe Charles could disdain Earl Bock’s family without a care.
But those down-and-out British nobles, like Earl Bock was before meeting Donnie, scorned him in their hearts while actively seeking connections with him.
"Let’s go, let’s take a stroll to the casino!"
Joe Charles stood up.
Wally Meyer slightly bowed, "Sir, should I give Donnie Block a call?"
Though unspoken, Wally Meyer knew clearly that they didn’t have the upper hand in the matter of the Mexican silver mines.
Firstly, Mexico is geographically closer to the United States.
Secondly, Britain’s hard power is indeed currently inferior to that of the United States. While Joe Charles may feign ignorance of this, Wally Meyer must understand it.
Lastly, whether in terms of relationships with Aguirre and Escovar or in terms of strength compared to Donnie, they are inferior to Donnie Block.
Similarly, while Joe Charles might pretend not to know this, Wally Meyer must be clearly aware!
Joe Charles raised an eyebrow slightly, "You want a Duke of the British Empire to actively invite an American upstart?"
Wally Meyer lowered his head and denied, "Of course not, sir, it would be me calling Donnie Block and inviting him to meet you!"
Only then did Joe Charles regain his composure, and after pondering for a moment, said, "Alright, but not now. I just want to spend the afternoon in the Golden Hall, not to meet him!"
Wally Meyer nodded.
"Alright then, I need to change my clothes; you go and tend to your business first!"
Joe Charles was already dressed in formal wear and didn’t usually have the habit of changing outfits before heading out.
But he decided to do so this time around.
Once Joe Charles returned to the bedroom, Wally Meyer made the call to Donnie’s room.
A few minutes later, Joe Charles walked out of his bedroom in a newly changed tailcoat.
Wally Meyer was already standing at the door of Joe Charles’s bedroom.
Yet, at that moment, Wally Meyer looked somewhat anxious.
"Expressions like that harm the image of our British Empire!"
Joe Charles remarked disapprovingly upon seeing Wally Meyer’s expression.
"Yes, sir!" Wally Meyer immediately restored his calm, steady expression, saying, "I’ve just spoken with Donnie Block’s room, and his secretary stated... Donnie Block plans to inspect Caesars Palace’s operations today, so..."
"Hmph!" Joe Charles snorted coldly, and Wally Meyer stopped speaking.
"Let’s go!"
Joe Charles stepped out of his suite, flanked by two guards dressed in black.
