A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 124: Wine, Sex and Love

After Old Gray introduced Arthur as before, he also introduced this small group of businessmen to Arthur.

But it was different from the previous one. After the introduction, Old Gray made an excuse and left first.

Arthur estimated that there was no need for Old Gray to talk to these businessmen.

Arthur stayed here, and he asked these businessmen with great interest whether there was any interesting news recently.

Among them, a businessman specializing in import and export commodities complained:

"Damn the tariff bill, I lost a whole shipment of goods. Is this the latest interesting news?"

Another factory owner engaged in canning processing said with a smile:

"Don't complain anymore. Why didn't you have no one above you and didn't get the news in advance? I heard that the Cornwall Commercial Bank made a lot of money through this bill."

Arthur was not interested in this kind of news, so he said:
"Everyone, why do we have to talk about these unpleasant topics? Isn't there any news that makes people happy and makes money?"

After hearing what Arthur said, the fat businessman among the group said:
"Oh, don't say it, it really does exist. I don't know if you have heard of it. I heard that there is a mining company recently. They are selling shares publicly. It is said that they have discovered a gold mine with rich reserves. I have been We are all studying this matter, have you heard about it?"

"So you've heard about it too. I remember what the name of this company is?" said a businessman engaged in import and export commodities trading.

The owner of the canning factory smiled and said:

"I thought I was the only one who knew about this? Tacitus Kilgore Mining Company, your information is really uninformed. I have already bought 1500 shares. Considering our relationship, Let me tell you another inside information. I have personally inspected this gold mine. Let me tell you, I can dig out gold with just a hammer there! Hehe, don’t say that I don’t take care of my good deeds. You guys, if you are interested, hurry up."

"..."

After listening to this man's words, Arthur was very suspicious that his ears might have heard wrongly, Tacitus?Kilgore?Mining Company? ? ?
Good guy, isn't this the gang's public alias that Dutch and the others came up with?

Good guy, really him? Good guy.

No matter how shocked he was in his heart, Arthur still asked calmly on his face:
"Excuse me...how much does this share cost?"

The owner of the canning factory replied with a proud face:
"One dollar! Oh, it's very cheap, right? But, having said that, it's really strange. I didn't expect that Mr. Gray didn't invite the boss of this company to the banquet. I thought I could see him here. I have to say that this person is really capable and visionary. In this profitable business, you have to bring other people along to make more money. The larger the scale, the more profitable it will be!"

The owner of the canning factory seemed to be completely immersed in the joy of investing in a big and profitable business. At this time, other businessmen nearby also praised him and then took the opportunity to ask for more detailed information.

Seeing this situation, Arthur left here silently. He found Marybeth who was eating fruits and snacks in front of the buffet, and whispered in her ear:

"Have you seen Mr. Trelawney in Valentine recently?"

Facing Arthur who suddenly came forward, Marybeth was frightened. Then she blushed from her face to her neck. She quickly replied calmly:
"No, no, Arthur..."

In this case, Arthur estimated that there was a high probability that Trelawny had done something good.

Really good, one person sold 1500 shares for one dollar?
At this time, Arthur still doesn't know how big of a scam Trelawney has pulled out, but dear readers, you know that Trelawney has made a lot of money from Arthur. This guy A lot of money was spent on this game, and a gold mine was actually found.

While Arthur was still thinking about the extent of Trelawny's scam this time, Old Gray came to the center of the crowd. After signaling the band to stop playing, he raised his glass and knocked it gently, waiting until everyone When everyone looked at him, he smiled and said:
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to say a few words here. I am very happy to be able to gather with you here today. I would like to take this opportunity to announce something to my friends. My son, Bao Gray is getting engaged to my dear niece, Matilda...let us congratulate them."

Although the news was quite sudden, everyone still applauded in unison. Regarding the news that Bo Gray is going to marry his cousin, everyone didn't sincerely wish them well, but they cared more about Mattie. Erda's father, the wealth he represents, and whether their marriage will make the Gray family more powerful.

You must know that although the Gray family still has wealth and power in this area and is widely respected in Rhodes Town, compared to the past, the Gray family, which lost their slaves, is still not as good as before.

"I heard that the woman is also a relative of the Gray family, but she has been developing outside before, and now she seems to be rich..."

Arthur heard the whispers of people around him, Bo Gray?Isn't that the young boy Archibald asked to take care of Mary Beth just now? "Hey! I-woo!" Bo Gray ran out of nowhere and shouted loudly, but before he could finish his words, his mouth was covered by Archibald who followed closely. Then he was dragged away from the banquet venue.

"what happened?"

"Who knows...I heard this Bow Gray has no future."

"Don't talk nonsense, I heard that he has studied, he has gone to university..."

"Hey, haven't you heard? I heard a rumor-"

"Is it true? Bravest? With Gray? Stop joking..."

As Old Gray signaled the band to continue, under the renewed music, Arthur could no longer hear clearly what these people were still gossiping about.

"Ah, Mr. Callahan, is this your female companion? What a beautiful lady." Sheriff Gray suddenly appeared next to Arthur and said.

When Marybeth, who was standing next to Arthur, heard the compliment, she just smiled and nodded as a response.

Arthur said:

"Hey, I'm still talking. Why haven't I seen you, the Sheriff, after walking around for a while? Haha, that really surprises me. Shouldn't you be holding a whole bottle of champagne in your hand now?"

Faced with Arthur's joke, Sheriff Gray rarely soberly replied:

"I don't want to be educated by Tavish in front of everyone... By the way, have you seen Archibald? I'm looking for him."

Arthur remembered the scene he had just seen. After telling Leigh Gray the location, he pointed to him with his hand. However, Leigh Gray looked at Arthur and still looked confused. After scratching his head, he said :

"If not, could you please take me there?"

"Okay." After Arthur asked Marybeth to stay here and wait for him, he took Leigh Gray towards the place where Archibald left just now.

Soon, when the two found Archibald, they saw him standing beside Bo Gray, as if trying to persuade him, while Bo Gray was drinking a bottle of wine Own.

Arthur saw Sergeant Gray give Bao a very disgusted look, and then said to Archibald:

"I've been looking for you for a long time! Why are you wasting time with him here?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Sheriff, Master Bao..." Archibald didn't know what to say for a while.

Chief Gray waved his hand impatiently and said:

"He just doesn't want to marry his cousin! There's nothing to be hesitant about. It's not something he can say. After reading some books, people are stupid. I really don't know how this happened to our Gray family. A waste."

When Arthur heard this, he felt that it was almost time to leave. After all, he was not involved in everything, so he said goodbye to the Sheriff and turned around to go back.

"Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Callahan, hehe, don't leave in a hurry. It just happened. I think you must be bored at this boring banquet, right? I just made an appointment with a beautiful lady, who is in the back In the woods, she happens to have a best friend... do you think?" Chief Gray said with a strange smile.

Hearing this, Arthur didn't look back. After leaving quickly, he said loudly:

"No, thank you, next time, next time -"
