America 1919

Hubert Lewis waved his hand grandly and said, "Don't worry, I've got it all arranged. As soon as that shipment gets back to Newark, it will be immediately transported to our distillery and repackaged as our own goods. By then, who will have evidence to prove that the shipment was the one Donnie lost?"

Luther Ganaxy finally felt truly relieved.

If everything really went as Hubert Lewis said, then indeed there would be no problems.

Just as Hubert Lewis was fantasizing about how he should expand his power after acquiring Donnie's shipment, the phone on the desk rang.

"Who is it, so late?"

Hubert Lewis asked, clearly annoyed.

"Boss, it's me, Cesel. There's a problem at the distillery, and you need to come take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Hubert Lewis immediately stood up and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Oh, don't worry, it's not a big deal, just some issues with the raw materials that need your attention!" Cesel's voice trembled slightly over the phone.

However, Hubert Lewis didn't notice this detail. Hearing that it was just a raw materials issue, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wait there, I'm coming right now!"

After speaking, Hubert Lewis put down the phone and said to Luther Ganaxy, "Get the car ready, we need to make a trip to the factory, there's some issue with the raw materials there."

Luther Ganaxy replied, "I'll get it ready!"

It wasn't long before Hubert Lewis stepped out of the bar. Luther Ganaxy, clutching his stomach with a pained expression, said to Hubert Lewis, "Boss, my stomach hurts a bit, I'm going to hit the john first, wait for me!"

Hubert Lewis looked at Luther Ganaxy impatiently and said, "You're full of problems. Go take your shit; I'll head over first. You can come over by yourself later!"

Luther Ganaxy nodded, "Alright!"

"Damn, I heard that Donnie has his own driver. Once this deal is done, I'll get myself a driver too," Hubert Lewis muttered to himself as he got into the car.

Then, with a slam on the accelerator, the car sped away.

Luther Ganaxy quickly clutched his stomach and returned to the underground bar.

Hubert Lewis's distillery was also built on the outskirts of Newark. This place was originally a distillery, and after Prohibition, the former owner still thought about doing some moonshine business.

Not long after, his entire family was wiped out by Hubert Lewis, so naturally, the place became Hubert Lewis's property.

The car stopped inside the plant.

Hubert Lewis got out, and before he even entered, he started cursing: "You're all a bunch of worthless fucks, can't even handle a matter of raw materials..."

Before he could finish, Hubert Lewis was stupefied; inside the plant, his men were all squatting there in a line.

There were another ten men holding pistols.

"Luciano!"

Hubert Lewis recognized the man in charge—it was Charlie Luciano from Meyer's gang in New York!

Previously, during their business dealings, Hubert Lewis had several encounters with Luciano.

"Hubert, didn't expect us to meet under these circumstances, huh?"

Luciano sat there, teasingly looking at Hubert Lewis.

Hubert Lewis said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Luciano looked around, laughing, "Isn't it obvious in this situation? Of course, it's to take you out!"

"You want to start a war between Newark and New York?"

Hubert Lewis maintained his dignity as a gang boss.

"Heh, aren't you overestimating yourself too much? Your death won't start a war between New York and Newark!" Luciano said with an air of superiority.

"My men won't let you off!" Hubert Lewis continued.

"Your men?" Luciano laughed loudly, "Are you talking about those who went to rob Donnie's shipment?"

Hubert Lewis, who had remained calm up until this point, finally changed his expression. If the other side already knew about his plans, did it mean that more people were aware as well?

"So, this was a trap?"

Charlie Luciano smiled, "Looks like you're not too stupid, though I reckon by now your men have already been taken out by Donnie's guys!"

Hubert Lewis gave a wry smile and sat down on the ground, saying, "Doesn't matter anymore. I've enjoyed enough over the years. I always knew this day would come!"

Seeing Hubert Lewis like this, Luciano put away his joking smile and said, "Hubert, I'm starting to respect you now!"

"Respect my ass, you're still going to kill me!" Hubert Lewis cursed.

Luciano burst into laughter, saying, "That's true, you've got too much nerve, daring to plot against Donnie. Seems you really didn't understand the man!"

Hubert Lewis said, "Cut the crap; I have always been in competition with him. Does your Meyer gang live in peace with its competitors?"

Luciano nodded, saying, "Say hi to Satan for me when you see him!"

After that, Luciano raised his hand, ready to deal with Hubert Lewis!

"Wait a minute!" Hubert Lewis suddenly shouted out.

"What?" Luciano looked at Hubert Lewis playfully, "Scared?"

"Scared my ass!" Hubert Lewis said coldly, "I just want to know who betrayed me. Was it Luther?"

At that moment, Hubert Lewis thought back to the scene when he had just arrived at the factory.
