Chapter 34: Don't Be Dominated by Money

On the third day, Tommy Hawk received a call from Tony, who was in Yarmouth, Canada. As Tommy had speculated, there was a well-established cigarette sales network there. However, Tony was feeling discontent; he was far from happy about it.

Following Tommy's instructions, Tony had first arrived in Portland, which is across the Gulf of Maine from Yarmouth, Canada. Shortly after revealing to the Italian guide, who was paid for his services, that his family was from Missouri, local Italians in Portland who owned grocery stores took the initiative to socialize with him the next day and started talking about the very common cigarette trade between America and Canada.

It was quite simple. Missouri is a big tobacco-producing state in America and has the lowest tobacco tax in the entire country. By saying that his family lived in Missouri, to these Italians, it implied that his family was possibly involved in a business related to cigarettes, either growing tobacco or processing it.
