A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 197 Looking Back and Expanding

"Just let him wait in the office. I have to go find Kieran first."

This Rocco Kirk is really interesting. Mary Beth told Arthur about this in her letter before. Arthur has already seen this Rocco Kirk once when he returned to Valentine this time, but Kirk’s hand There was not even a single piece of evidence that could be obtained, and then he just kept talking to Arthur about some 'speculations' that should 'only' be the case.

It would be fine if Arthur was really not guilty, and Gao Luo could still explain a few words to him, but it was indeed Arthur who did this, so how could you possibly pay attention to him?
Therefore, Kirk did not get anything useful from Arthur in the end. He originally thought that this matter would end here, but he never thought that he would come back again.

In short, let's go find Kieran first, and then we'll see what this guy is going to do when we get back.

Leaving the conference room and crossing the street, Arthur discovered that Valentine seemed to be more lively these days?
Busy carriages were parked on both sides of the road to pick up customers. In the tavern, it was still dark, and the noisy piano and voices could be heard clearly from across the street.

On the road, the oil workers who passed Arthur in twos and threes looked dirty, but they all had smiles on their faces?

Is this reasonable?What happened to Greco?This shows that you are not exploiting your employees properly!
At this point, will you get off work at this point?

Arthur himself hasn't even finished yet, really.

When he came to the back door of the casino, he saw the Indian guy standing at the gate. His appearance made Arthur feel a little confused for a moment, and the Indian guy also recognized his boss immediately. He changed his previous fierce look at the door and greeted Arthur with a shy smile:
"Boss, hello."

"Um...what's your name?" Arthur asked carefully.

Hearing Arthur ask his name, the Indian boy scratched his head and said:

“Little Hawk”

Looking at this young man who was two sizes smaller than the bison, but similar in appearance, Arthur still asked, saying:

"Bison...is that you?"

"Well, Bison is my brother."

Mentioning the bison, there was no sadness on Kitty Eagle's face, but he could see at a glance that Arthur seemed to be very concerned about his brother's death, so he said with relief:

"Boss, you may not know, but in the eyes of our tribe, death is just a way for people to return to nature, so please don't be sad for my brother. He will integrate with nature and become a part of it. Death in battle is heroic and honorable.”

Actually being comforted by this young man, Arthur smiled, and then casually asked Xiaoying about the implementation of the settlement allowance. Talking about this Xiaoying seemed a little excited, and he said:
"Boss, this money has really helped us a lot...and I came to work here precisely because I wanted to repay this kindness."

After Arthur listened to Xiaoying's words, although his heart was very complicated, he said nothing more. He patted Xiaoying on the shoulder and told him to work hard before entering the casino.

The casino was crowded, and Arthur searched for a long time before finally finding Kieran.

Now, Kieran, who has recovered from his injuries, has taken over the job in the casino again, and compared to before, the extra scars and eyepatch on his face seem to make him more suitable for the job here. "Yo, Kieran, here."

Hearing Arthur's greeting, Kieran smiled and walked through the gamblers before coming to Arthur.

I looked at Kieran again. How should I put it, this is a little different from what Arthur thought. I originally thought that after experiencing such an incident, Kieran's character might undergo some earth-shaking changes. As a result, Well, Kieran was still the same as before, a little overwhelmed, and complained to Arthur in a relaxed tone:
"Arthur, you took Charlie away from me, then you should give me another one!"

"Hehe." Arthur said a little cheekily while taking a bottle of beer from the passing waiter:
"You should go find one yourself. What do you mean I took Charlie away from you? Please, it was just for your temporary use."

Kieran looked at Arthur who was cheating in front of him, and he could only say helplessly:

"Okay, okay, I'll find someone myself."

Then Kieran changed the topic and said to Arthur seriously:
"Arthur, the casino is a bit too small now. Do you want to consider finding a larger venue?"

Arthur nodded, and Kieran thought about it together with him. Nowadays, casinos in the United States are not legal in all areas. Gambling is illegal in some areas, but in some areas, gambling is allowed. Open and legal business.

Here, whether it is legal or not is decided by the state government, and different states have their own different regulations.

"Kieran, expansion is inevitable. This is a profitable business. I have been thinking about how to expand and where to expand recently." Arthur said while drinking the beer in his hand.

When Kieran heard what Arthur said, he felt that Arthur had misunderstood what he meant. He was talking about finding a bigger place in Valentine, but Arthur meant that he wanted to turn the casino into a legal one. The business is the same, and then we can make it bigger and stronger?

Kieran said:

"Okay, that's what I said anyway. As for your plan, don't tell me. I'm too busy."

As he spoke, Kieran looked at Arthur warily, then raised his bandaged arm and continued:
"So you're not here to boss me around, are you? You're not so cruel to boss me around, are you? I'm a poor injured person who started working for you to make money as soon as I recovered?"

Kieran's three consecutive questions were so wonderful. Arthur was a little choked for a moment. He had no choice but to do so. Since Kieran said so, Arthur had no choice but to say frankly:
"It's not a troublesome thing. I may go to Saint-Denis soon. You can arrange things here and come with me to take a look. I heard that there is a super luxurious cruise ship casino there. Don’t you want to go and see it?”

"..."

"Hey! I know you must be thinking, just think of it as going out to play, and the expenses will be all-inclusive. Haha, you see, this is not considered work, right! That's it, you hurry up and make arrangements. Then you continue to work. , I want to go see Hosea, so I won’t disturb you.”

Before Kieran could reply, Arthur walked away.

As for Kieran, looking at the empty wine bottle that Arthur had thrust into his hand, he froze on the spot for a while, then he laughed and complained in a low voice:
"It seems that the older you live, the younger you become..."

I really don’t blame Kieran for complaining, after all, Arthur’s age, if you really calculate it, he will be 37 this year soon?
