A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 131 Prelude to chaos ([-])
"I was kicked out of the house by Jenny again that night..." Morris said.

Morris was once again kicked out of the house by his wife at night. He originally planned to go to Blake's place to deal with him all night, but thinking of the annoying grocery store owner Jacob Voss, he would definitely go everywhere after seeing him. After talking nonsense, Morris changed his mind.

Then just after he changed his mind and was wandering around the town of Valentine, a well-dressed stranger suddenly found him. After chatting with him, he didn't know whether it was because the man spoke nicely or because he was deliberately following Mo's words. Reese, the final result was that Morris followed this man to his house, and it happened that several friends at this man's house were playing cards. With the man's encouragement, Morris joined, and then he happily lost. The next night.

"Are you stupid? You keep losing, and you continue to play?!" Arthur is really convinced by Morris. If he can, he will definitely advise Mrs. Morris not to kick him out next time. It is best to kill him with a gun. Got him.

Morris also said aggrievedly at this time:
"I want to leave too, but they won't let me!"

Hearing what Morris said, Arthur suddenly felt something was wrong, and he continued to ask:

"Then what? You don't have any money. Didn't they ask your wife to redeem you and just let you go?"

"..."

"say!"

"They asked me to sign something..." Morris said quietly.

Is this routine too familiar to Arthur?

"I won't ask you what you signed. Please tell me first. No matter what this thing is, you should really sign it... Can't you see that this is a game?"

Morris felt extremely wronged. He was not really a fool. How could he not know this? He said:
"If someone puts a gun to my head, what can I do?"

If this was the case, the nature would be completely different. At this time, Arthur no longer blamed Maurice, and he asked seriously:

"So why don't you tell me directly? Instead, you want to lie to me about buying some ghost medicine? Where is the person? Take me there!"

At this time, everything that should be said and shouldn't be said was said, and Morris had nothing to hide anymore. He continued guiltily:

"What they asked me to sign...was the company's share transfer contract. I wanted to borrow some money to redeem it..."

After hearing this, how could Arthur still not understand that this was not a scam targeting Maurice at all, but was targeting him!
Where has anyone made a bet that someone would sign an equity transfer contract?
It's not about money at all.

Seeing Arthur sitting there with an ugly expression on his face after listening to his words, Morris was a little at a loss. For a moment, he didn't know what to do next. He had been going crazy waiting for Arthur to come back for the past two days. Who knows? If his wife knew that he had done such a stupid thing again, would she really kill him with a gun?

Just as Arthur was thinking about who was going to attack him, the office door was pushed open, and it was none other than Frank Sr. and his daughter Vera.

"What's wrong? I think your expressions are not right?" Arthur asked, looking at the gloomy expressions of the two of them.

Old Frank looked at Morris, who was still standing here, and did not immediately answer Arthur's question.

"It's okay, let's talk. Apart from Morris being a bit stupid, I don't think he has the habit of talking nonsense? And I haven't solved his problem with him yet." Arthur rubbed his forehead and signaled to Old Frank not to pay attention to Morris, if there's something wrong Just say it quickly.

Old Frank clasped his hands. He looked at his daughter and felt that he really couldn't save the dignity to talk about this. Vera saw her father's look on the side, and she knew that he was embarrassed to speak, so she took her place instead. Frank said:

"Arthur, my father and I were cheated at the card table. Someone was playing tricks on us."

After hearing this little thing, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Looking at your looks, I thought it was a big deal! Hey, you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? It's nothing..."

"Arthur, you may be optimistic. He won all the money on the account, and there may be some other losses. The specific Strauss is still calculating... You will probably know it later." Old Frank Seeing that Arthur didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, he finally interrupted. "..."

Just when Arthur was about to speak and confirm with Frank and his daughter whether this was a joke, the office door was pushed open again.

This time it was Charlie who walked in, and Arthur immediately saw the unique gun he was carrying behind his back.

"Arthur, Kieran, gone."

"..."

I don’t know if it was because of the continuous bad news, but Arthur actually laughed after hearing what Charlie said. He said:

"Hey, Charlie, did you see anyone else back there when you came?"

Charlie heard Arthur's question, thought about it, and actually nodded, he said:
"Greco, it seems, is here too."

No, talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Greco, who pushed open the door of Arthur's office, did not expect that there would be so many people in Arthur's office?

"Tell me, what's the problem with the oil company?"

Greco noticed Arthur's wording. Arthur used 'also', which meant that the problem he encountered was not an exception. Although he didn't know who his new boss had offended, But he was certain that this person must have huge energy. He nodded quickly and said:
"Our newly arrived drilling equipment was completely destroyed by someone using explosives late at night. I have also contacted Sheriff Malloy and he is already investigating. As for the insurance company, I have also contacted them, but their The attitude is very strange. They did not say that they would not pay compensation, but they pushed back... In short, the situation is very bad. The workers in the camp are also making trouble now. They ask us to start work immediately, but obviously I believe they all know it. , we can’t do it?”

Arthur asked calmly:
"Can you temporarily dismiss them first?"

Greco shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid it won't work. I tried it. The foreman asked us to pay each of them a liquidated damages. He said that we failed to start work as planned, which violated the labor contract signed with them. He also threatened us and said that if we break the law, we will fire them. , they will immediately contact the labor union and the newspaper. I tried to appease them, but it didn’t seem to have much effect. Boss, I must say, someone is messing with you behind your back."

Isn't this obvious?Is it possible that Arthur is really so unlucky that all the bad things happened at once?

Arthur looked at everyone in the office, and he knew in his heart that his enemies had attacked him, and they were attacking his financial vitals violently and quickly.

This is not a simple American duel in the West. The enemy and the enemy salute face to face, then turn around and count, then turn around and shoot at each other. Arthur is now pulled into another kind of duel, and the situation seems to be very bad.

Arthur knew that he couldn't be in a hurry. He had to figure out the context of the problems in front of him first, and the question of who the enemy was was actually the easiest.

"Levitix Cornwall, you are so quick to start?" Arthur stood up and walked slowly in the office.

First of all, Kieran was gone. This was the first thing Arthur considered. He didn't ask Charlie directly. After all, Charlie had just returned to Valentine just like himself, so he asked Charlie to put down the gun first, and then go to the casino security. Everyone came over to see if anyone was missing.

When Charlie turned around to do this, Arthur asked Old Frank and his daughter again:

"That man won so much money, you let him go like this?"

Old Frank stared and replied:
"How is that possible! We are not doing charity? There were other guests present that day. After he left, we sent people to follow him..."

Arthur smiled and took over the words and said:
"Then what? Let me guess, the people you sent out failed to come back?"

Old Frank nodded angrily, then shook his head again, and said in a heavy tone:
"I'm back, but not completely back..."
