Salvatore, Meyer, and Eli looked at Donnie with a change in their eyes.
They all understood that if the alliance Donnie was talking about was truly established, it could very well become the biggest gang in the United States, representing powerful forces and enormous wealth.
But now Donnie was only willing to be a proposer, and he didn't even want to join, which puzzled them.
Nucky looked at Donnie suspiciously, wondering what he was thinking, but no one else knew.
Donnie acted precisely as a proposer would, after laying out all his plans, he stood there, looking around at everyone, and finally said,
"Gentlemen, if you are interested in this idea and wish to discuss it, then I'll leave this space to you."
In the end, Donnie, seemingly indifferent to the matter, saw that although no one spoke, their intentions were quite clear, so he left promptly and decisively.
"What's so good about mixing with gangs? Even if you become the biggest in the nation, so what?"
