A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 231
Until finally, Leon left.

Arthur never asked Sean how much money he owed their casino. As planned, he didn't actually pay Sean to pay off the debt.

However, the matter is resolved, isn't it?
Of course Arthur could choose to pay the money directly, but why should he give his money to others?Why spend money when a bullet can solve a problem? A bullet is much cheaper.

Sean, who had witnessed all of Arthur's operations, was still stupid until now.

If he remembered correctly, had Arthur said before that he would help him pay back the money?

What he couldn't understand the most was the conversation between him and Arthur after Leon picked up the bundle of bills originally intended for Lucas' medical expenses from the pool of blood.

……

Although Leon looks very vicious in appearance, he is not old. He can tell this as soon as he opens his mouth. He holds the bloody money and says:

"You know, this is money that belongs to Angelo Brontë, and our boss, Philip Carr, is just his little boss."

"so what?"

"So, you have to give me a new job, and you have to provide me with a place to live." Leon said directly.

Arthur laughed when he heard this. He didn't pay attention to the cigarette that seemed to be extinguished by blood in his mouth. After throwing it away, he asked curiously:

"You should know who Angelo Bronte is better than I do, right?"

Leon nodded, and then said affirmatively: "So I know you will need my services."

What an interesting guy, isn't he?

One second he was still working for Angelo Bronte, and the next second, he recognized the reality clearly and decisively chose the path that was most beneficial to him.

"Are you Mexican?"

Although I don’t know why a Mexican would name himself Leon, judging from his appearance, Leon looks like an authentic Mexican.

And this is why, in the situation just now, Arthur would perform such an operation.

You know, the status of Mexicans today is the same as that of black people, not much higher.

In this Italian group, other races have little status.

"Yes, I have some friends who are also looking for jobs. As long as the price is right, I think they don't mind clashing with Italians."

Arthur is really impressed by this Mexican named Leon now, and he actually has ready-made manpower. However, the question is how does Leon judge that he will conflict with Bronte?

"Is it possible that Mr. Bronte and I are actually very good friends?"

Leon nodded and said seriously:
"Are you? If so, then I have to go back with Lucas' body and tell Mr. Carl that this problem is beyond our scope."

"And this, Mr. Carr? What will he do?"

Leon thought for a moment and then said:
"He will arrange for you to disappear quietly in Saint-Denis. Everyone knows that Mr. Bronte likes money more than his friends."

"Then what if you don't go back?"

Leon listened very carefully. Arthur said 'not going back' rather than 'can't go back', so he said:
"Then Mr. Carl will only think that it was me and Lucas who ran away with the money. For now, this trouble will only come to me."

Arthur nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, great, go find your friends and tell them you have a job for them."

Until then, Leon finally asked Arthur:

"Boss?" "Arthur, Arthur Morgan."

"Okay, Boss Morgan."

……

In Arthur's room.

While Sean and Kieran slowly rolled up Lucas on the ground with a carpet, they were still in a daze thinking about what just happened.

"Okay, it's almost done, don't be in a daze, Sean, go get the rope to fix it."

"Oh, okay."

Outside the balcony, Arthur looked at the two busy people inside through the glass door. He leaned on the railing and said to Hosea beside him:
"Do you think there's something wrong with me doing this?"

Hosea shook his head and said:

"Don't ask me, I thought it would be fine after I talked to Sean, but what happened? I seem to be really old, Arthur."

"Don't say that, time has given you real wisdom."

Listening to Arthur's seemingly comforting words, but actually saying that he was old, Hosea said with disgust:
"If you don't know how to comfort others, then go and learn, Arthur. As for your question just now, I can only tell you that Leon is a man who is ambitious and knows how to seize opportunities. What people are always short of is an opportunity.”

"I understand, but would he be a good, sharp knife?"

Hosea nodded and added:

“A good knife that’s not afraid of getting yourself dirty.”

Inside the room, Kieran finally tied up the carpet and pushed open the balcony door and asked:
"It's done, Arthur, what next?"

Arthur smiled and nodded. After saying thank you for your hard work, he said to Sean who was hiding behind him:
"You, let Kieran accompany you now and go to Rhodes Town to wash the cups for me. You will first wash me for a month as a punishment. Then if you can really think about it and be honest, you can come back. Problem?"

"No, no, Arthur..."

I hope it really doesn't happen. Anyway, Arthur gave him the opportunity. Whether he can seize it or not depends on him.

After making sure that Arthur didn't want to say anything more to Sean, Kieran said:
"Well, Arthur, after I see Sean off, I'll go back to Valentine. Do you need me to do anything else?"

Alas, there is no harm without comparison. Look at Kieran, and then look at Sean. Forget it, we can’t compare like this. Putting the idea in his mind aside, Arthur thought about it again before replying:

"Well, there's nothing going on here for the time being. You go to Rhodes and ask Charlie to send me the first batch of trained employees. For more details, Charlie will know how to arrange it. By the way, he'll be at the station for me by the way. Buy some gifts for Ms. Grimshaw, Pearson, Karen, Tilly and Lenny. Well, there should be nothing else to do. Ah, there are also Martin, Charlie, Eamonn and the others... Oops, it's very troublesome. In short, you should buy more, and then when you return to Valentine, remember to ask Strauss and Marybeth to explain the matters at hand, and then prepare to leave for Saint Denis."

Kieran carefully wrote down what Arthur said, and then Arthur repeated it. After making sure that nothing was missed, he took Sean back to the house with a disappointed look on his face, preparing to pack up and go to Rhodes.

After listening to the list of names that Arthur gave just now, Hosea said with a smile:

"Are you tired? You have to prepare gifts for so many people when you go out."

Arthur nodded and said seriously:
"Hosea, I must find myself a butler."

Hearing Arthur say that he wanted to find a butler, Hosea reminded him with a strange look:
"I don't know if you have been living and sleeping with us a lot, but you don't seem to realize that you still don't have a house that you can call home. What kind of housekeeper are you looking for??"

"..."

Good reminder. Indeed, after leaving the camp, Arthur didn't even think about getting himself a house or anything. He spent the whole day sleeping in this office, staying in that office, or just finding a hotel. It seemed really Have you ever thought about buying a house for yourself?

"You reminded me, Hosea, that it is indeed time for us to have a 'home'."
