Yellowstone: Wind in the Smoke

"Is this where you plan to launder your money?" Susie looked at the pub called El Umbral and felt that this place was still too advanced for the people of Montana.

When Dante arrived at the grand opening of his pub, he had some minor complications obtaining the license due to the reckless Beck brothers, who didn't make it easy for him to get the permits. This made him realize he now had new enemies.

"Boss, welcome!" The security guard at the entrance greeted Dante, who was accompanied by Susie, who was beautifully dressed in a quite elegant black dress.

In addition to being attractive, she exuded a high level of education, making her an uncommon woman in places like this, where women usually move from one man to another every night.

Of course, just looking at the jewelry she wore was a clear sign that only a few could be her suitors.

"Where's Crocodile?" Dante didn't see his bodyguard anywhere, which intrigued him.

At that moment, William approached and informed him: "The opening has been a success; we have over eight hundred people in the pub, and we're about to hit the fire department's capacity limit."

"Make sure to get rid of anyone who isn't drinking anymore; we want customers, not people sleeping on the tables." While walking toward the VIP area with Susie, Dante instructed William on how he should manage the place.

Since his brother hadn't made a decision, Dante would leave the pub's control to William while he found someone suitable for the job.

"Understood, boss."

Once Susie was alone with Dante, she approached him and whispered, "Seems like you know how these places work well. I wonder if you have measures to prevent drugs here."

"We'll handle that." Dante couldn't allow low-quality drugs to circulate in his future pub chain.

It was inevitable that consumers would find some way to get drugs; Dante knew they would make their way here one way or another, so it was better to ensure they were of good quality.

Many people die from poisoning after using bad drugs; not everything is reliable, after all, and Dante knew he could get the best products as long as he was determined to do so.

"Sounds good." Susie didn't know the ins and outs of running a nightclub, but she knew that drugs were always available in places like these.

Even though the place had just opened, it was already a huge success, and for now, people were having a great time.

Dante enjoyed the atmosphere; in fact, he was shaping the success of this place, and soon enough, drinks were being consumed without any control.

In reality, Dante wasn't a big drinker who liked to get drunk, but now that he had Susie as a host, who enjoyed dancing and drinking, he let himself indulge a bit.

They spent time talking about business, then personal desires and aspirations.

Dante, who was practically in his domain, didn't need to be careful about the people around him. Anyone trying to harm him would face undercover bodyguards who were always nearby.

He wasn't paranoid, but he did watch his back as his business slowly grew.

Also, now that he was making enemies publicly, he needed to be even more cautious. His advantage, at least for now, was that no one truly knew how dangerous he could be.
