A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 140 American Salesmanship
Seeing Daqi take a wad of cash, Catherine handed the gun back to the person behind her, she said with a smile:

"I guess the news you want to give me is related to the Gray family?"

Dutch looked at the money in his hand. He and Catherine looked at each other and replied:
"Yes, you are a cheerful person. We didn't steal these wines, we just gave them to you..."

"Okay, I know whose orders you are taking." Catherine interrupted, she put away her smile, and then continued seriously:
"How about it? I think you are the kind of people who dare to sacrifice your lives for money. Now, take these wines and help me do something. I will give you another sum of money after you are done."

Dutch said sincerely:
"Madam, you are so generous. Compared to the Gray family, Bravest is indeed more suitable for people like us who want to find a stable job. After all, they only pay us this much. A truck full of wine, but it turned out it didn’t belong to them.”

Dutch's words seemed to make the expression on Catherine's face look better, and she asked:
"So I can understand that you are willing to serve me?"

"That's right, ma'am, please give me your orders."

"Very good, then go take these drinks to Rhodes, go to the bar owned by Gray's family, and give them all away for free!" Catherine said seriously.

Behind her, her son couldn't understand why she did this. Isn't this a waste of money?So he opened his mouth and tried to persuade his mother to change her mind.

But before he could say anything more, he was stopped by Catherine, who said to Dutch and the two of them:

"Just think of this as a sales pitch. After you finish this, come back to me here and do your best. I have other tasks for you, and then maybe we can play a game of Kribbich cards together? "

After saying that, Catherine pushed away her son, who was still standing there reluctantly, and turned back to the house.

After greeting these people, Dutch patted John and said:
"Let's go, our next stop is Gray's Tavern in Rhodes Town."

John nodded and got into the car. Accompanied by the guards of the Bravest family, the two drove the carriage out of the manor along the same route.

"John, is there any news about those old friends I asked you to contact?" Dutch suddenly asked.

John nodded. This was what Dutch asked him to do with the marketer before. He replied:

"Yes, I contacted them, but their price is not low for what you asked them to do."

Dutch said:

"It doesn't matter. Hosea has sold the bonds we snatched back for us before, for a total of one thousand dollars. Although it was not as much as planned, considering how tricky they were, Especially after what happened at Horseshoe Lookout, this is a good price, and I think this money should be enough."

……

in the office.

After Arthur watched Mrs. Morris twisting Morris's ears and taking him away, Arthur said tiredly:

"Mary Beth, do you know where the Strauss people are?"

Now, the moon outside the window had already hung high. Arthur, who had been running around for a day, suddenly felt a little weak, but he still cheered up, and then added:

"Please, pour me another cup of coffee."

Marybeth looked at Arthur worriedly. She poured Arthur new coffee and answered Arthur's question:
"Mr. Strauss was originally waiting for you here, but I saw that he kept dozing off. He probably hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, so I told him to go back and rest first. If you need me to call him, Is he coming?"

Arthur took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was only a few hours before dawn, so he shook his head and did not ask Marybeth to call Strauss, but said:
"It's okay, no need. You have already been busy all day. You should take this time to take a rest. We still have problems to deal with tomorrow." Mary Beth did not refuse, she nodded, and then asked:
"What about you? Arthur, why don't you rest?"

Arthur smiled and drank the coffee in the cup, then took a brand new black coat from the hanger and put it on. Then he told Marybeth that he was going to see how Kieran was doing, but he refused by the way. After Marybeth suggested that she also want to go and have a look, he walked alone through the night and arrived at the door of the drugstore.

Arthur put his hand on the door, but didn't push it open.

He didn't know what outcome was waiting for him inside, and whether Kieran could survive it... The scenes of getting along with Kieran in the past kept reappearing in his mind, from the initial threat to the later recognition. To be honest, , now that I think about it, Kieran has always done a good job...

"Don't let me down this time."

Finally, after Nellie, who was still inside, saw Arthur who had been standing at the door for a long time but had not opened the door for a long time, Nellie came to the door and opened it from the inside. With a look of confusion on his face, he spoke. asked:
"Arthur, why are you standing at the door if you don't come in? Kieran survived, hehe, we seem to have won the bet, and if the old man and I are not wrong, he has nothing but the loss of one eye. There are other side effects, so I think he’ll be jumping around like before again soon.”

Hearing Nellie say that Kieran survived, Arthur suddenly felt as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, patted Nellie on the shoulder, and said happily:

"This is really good news."

"It's okay. By the way, I heard from Malloy that you got into trouble with Leviticus Cornish?" Nellie confirmed with Arthur with a serious face.

Arthur nodded, put away his smile and asked:
"Why, are you in trouble too?"

"It's not troublesome." Nellie did not continue at the door, but pulled Arthur into the house and then said:

"It's just that I originally thought that there was just a thief in the house. Don't worry, I have guns next to my bed now. I beat this man to death as soon as he touched the second floor, and his body has been thrown into the pig pen for disposal. Already..."

After Arthur heard this, he looked Nelli up and down in shock. It was unimaginable that the old man in front of him was actually quite Sicilian when he was ruthless? ?
Lost in a pigsty?Arthur will never eat pork again in Valentine from now on.

"Ahem, is it really okay for you to handle it this way? What if, I mean what if, it's really just a thief?"

Nellie waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked at Arthur as if he were looking at a fool, and said:
"No matter what he wants to do, since he touched my home, he deserves to be beaten to death. I will handle it easily. I have no other meaning in telling you this. The main reason is to remind you that even an old guy like me You haven’t missed any of them, you can think about it carefully to see if there’s anything missing that no one noticed…”

"Fuck!" Inspired by Nellie's words, Arthur suddenly slapped his thigh and cursed. He seemed to have really forgotten that he had never seen Blake since he came back.

So Arthur hurriedly asked Nellie:

"Have you seen Blake today?"

"...I have only seen Frank and his daughter today." Nellie replied heavily. He listened to Arthur mention Black, so it was obvious that something had happened to Black as well.

Arthur glanced hastily at Kieran, who was still lying on the hospital bed and had not woken up, as well as several other people who had been injured in the previous attack on the six o'clock cabin. Among them was Carmen, who was shot in the thigh. Because he was in a hurry just now, Arthur was busy sending Kieran back. He didn't know Carmen's credit. He just wanted them to have a good rest and recuperate like everyone else. They didn't need to worry about money. He would see them again tomorrow and then said goodbye to Nellie. , ready to determine whether Blake was in trouble.

Before going out, Nellie stopped Arthur again and said:

"Ah, yes, there is one more thing. You are really old. I wanted to remind you, but I almost forgot about it. That is, Mrs. Morris came to me and asked if there was anything more toxic. She said she wanted to poison rats, so I recommended arsenic to him, and then she bought arsenic from me that could kill almost all rats in the town. Well, I think it is necessary to advise you to be careful? "

The main reason why Nellie wanted to remind Arthur about this was because he had heard about it. It was said that Arthur's way of buying a stake in Morris Livestock Auction House was not very friendly. He also heard from the town's lawyer's gossip while drinking. I learned that the two of them seemed to have had a fight?
After hearing this, Arthur was not worried about himself. He smiled and said to Nellie:
"Ah, is there such a thing? Well, I think it's not me who needs to worry. I remind you, don't offend Mrs. Morris, and don't provoke Morris, haha."
