A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 228
After the farce on the Big Reagan ended, everyone was still unable to get a satisfactory solution and answer from the casino owner Mo Green.

"I can already picture the latest headlines in the newspapers," Arthur said as he sat in the carriage returning to the hotel.

Hosea nodded, and then asked with some confusion:
"But what does this have to do with us?"

Arthur replied decisively:

"No, it doesn't matter."

"Then why do you look like you're worried about the world being in chaos?"

Arthur loosened the tie around his neck, adjusted to a comfortable position, and said:

"The waves are big and the fish are expensive. If Saint-Denis always looks like a stagnant water, how are we going to get in?"

Kieran felt that Arthur's words were very reasonable, but he still asked in surprise:

"Arthur, have you ever sold fish before?"

"Kieran, this is a metaphor..."

An interesting metaphor, right?
Thinking that it was almost time to arrive at the inn, Arthur remembered what Hosea had told him before to tell him when he came back, so he asked:

"By the way, Hosea, can you tell me now what Sean did?"

After all, he had to tell Arthur sooner or later. Hosea sighed and said:
"Sean, he may, no, it should be definitely, Sean has some bad habits, Arthur."

"Gambling?" Arthur guessed, staring at Kieran's expression.

Besides gambling, what other bad habits are related to Kieran?

After receiving Hosea's affirmative statement, Arthur asked Kieran:

"When? How much did he lose? Where did he get the money?"

Arthur's tone was not harsh, but anyone who knew him well knew that this was not a good sign. Kieran did not answer Arthur's questions, but said with evasive eyes:
"Arthur, I promised Sean not to tell you..."

"..."

This is such a damn honest and reliable young man. Can you be trustworthy in matters like this?You shouldn't have promised him before!

Although he thought so in his heart, Arthur still calmly said:
"Okay, since you know how to tell Hosea, I won't trouble you about this. Kieran, remember, don't agree to something you shouldn't agree to next time."

Kieran lowered his head. He also knew that he really shouldn't have promised Sean to keep this matter a secret for him. In fact, this was not something that could really be filled. It would be discovered when Strauss reconciled the accounts. .

"Hosea, how did you and Sean talk?"

"How else can we talk? Let's talk openly and honestly. Don't get angry in a hurry. Arthur, you will always face this kind of problem in the future. Are those people under you all saints? They will always have their own problems. Bad habits, there are always problems that you may not know about until they come out..." Hosea said.

Arthur did not deny that what Hosea said was right, but this was Sean, the Sean who was always following him. Arthur didn't care that he lost money, nor did he care that what he lost was his own. Money, what he cared about was that Sean was addicted to gambling. It was the same as the alcoholic priest at the camp. These things would ruin a person.

"He'll destroy himself, Hosea."

"I know, I have talked with him, and I think he also understands this? Listen, my suggestion is that you should continue to pretend not to know, and then wait for him to figure it out on his own, and then take the initiative to talk to you Be honest."

He Xi was giving Sean a chance, and he also wanted to prevent Arthur from leaving a thorn in his heart.

Arthur understood what Hosea meant and had no objection. He just rubbed his forehead and said:

"Kieran, remember, gambling is like a fire, and those who get caught up in it will end up with nothing."

"I see, Arthur."

Along the way, Arthur used this incident to encourage Kieran.Back at the hotel, the front desk on duty today was not Henry, the black young man from before. Arthur did not forget that he still owed the tip that he had not given, so he asked this unknown front desk:

"Henry didn't come to work today?"

Today's front desk was a white guy. Hearing Arthur's question, he deliberately thought for a long time, and then he seemed to finally remember who Henry was. He said in a polite but questioning tone:
"Sir, if you are referring to that nigger Henry, then yes, is it his service that makes you dissatisfied? If you need to complain, please tell me..."

Hearing this, Arthur didn't say anything superfluous. He simply said that he didn't need it, and then walked towards the stairs at the back, ready to see Sean.

Arriving at Sean's door, Arthur knocked on the door.

"Dong dong."

"Dong dong dong."

"..."

"...?"

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement inside.

Fell asleep?Arthur took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Impossible, it was only what time it was.

Arthur put his pocket watch away and knocked harder on the door.

"Sean? Are you there?"

There was still no response in the room, so Arthur took a few steps back and was about to kick the door open. The hotel manager who was passing by in the corridor spoke in time to stop Arthur who was about to kick it in, and said:
"Sir! Wait a moment...are you in any trouble?"

When Arthur saw the manager who came forward to ask, he gave up his plan to kick the door open and instead smiled and said:

"Ah, you came just in time. This is my friend's room. He should be inside, but I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no movement. I'm worried that something might have happened to him, so can you open the door for me?"

"This..." The manager hesitated. After all, Arthur was only telling one side of the story. Who knows if this room belongs to his friend?
Arthur saw the manager's hesitation, so after telling the manager his room number and name, he simply handed him a small bundle of banknotes.

The manager who took the banknote no longer hesitated. He enthusiastically took out the spare key he carried with him, opened the door and said:
"Oh, I hope there is nothing wrong. Mr. Callahan, please wait a moment. I will open the door for you right away."

"Crack."

With the rotation of the key, the door lock was unlocked, and the manager directly helped Arthur push the door open.

Arthur glanced around the room, and there was no sign of Sean inside.

Similarly, the manager also saw that there was no one in the room, and he said very consciously:

"Your friend is probably out. Do you need me to help you ask our staff if they have seen him?"

Arthur nodded and briefly described Sean's appearance to the manager.

"Okay, I remember it. Then, after asking around for a while, should I go to your room to find you, or?"

"Room."

"Okay, Mr. Callahan, if you have any other questions, you can always come to me."

Hearing this, Arthur just remembered what happened at the front desk just now, so he said casually:
"By the way, there is just one thing. I don't like the white receptionist on duty today. His attitude towards me is very bad. I hope you can deal with it."

"Yes, I have received your complaint. Don't worry, I will handle it well. Then I will leave first."

The manager bent over and took two steps back, then turned around and headed downstairs in a hurry.
