At this point, Nevin Byrd looked skeptically at Nicky Limo and said, "You're not thinking of agreeing to Nucky's proposal, are you?"
"Haha!" Nicky Limo chuckled and replied, "Once the Surf Hotel is built, the business at the Ritz Hotel will surely plummet. If I want to maintain the status of the Ritz Hotel, I would need to invest more capital to bring its facilities up to par with the Surf Hotel. But what would that accomplish?
A Ritz Hotel without a casino, do you think we'll get more guests staying here?
From this perspective, I stand to lose more than both of you combined. Do you think I would agree to Nucky's demands?"
Nevin Byrd finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a resident of Atlantic City, Nevin Byrd understood better than anyone the influence Nucky and Donnie wielded in Atlantic City.
If it wasn't for the involvement of Nicky Limo and Leck Young, Nevin Byrd really wouldn't have the courage to go through with this!
