A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 238
"Sorry, thank you for your kindness..."

Outside the door, listening to Lao Zhang's rejection of Arthur, Ah Le couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed the door open and went in, saying loudly:

"Promise him!"

"A Le? What are you messing with..." Before Lao Zhang could finish his words to stop him, he heard A Le say bluntly:
"Dad, you have to look at how to do business honestly! You can't survive here by being honest."

After hearing this, Lao Zhang said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't your father and I raise you up by doing business honestly, and I also provided for you to finish your studies!..."

Looking at the two people quarreling in front of him, Arthur was the bigger one. He waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two and said:
"Who among you makes the decision?"

"I!"

"I!"

"..."

So, why should I meddle in this business?
Arthur nodded and walked out directly while saying:
"Listen, you should resolve this matter yourself. I took the liberty just now and left it alone."

After hearing that Arthur had left him alone, Lao Zhang had a complicated expression on his face, but he did not speak to stop Arthur. Instead, after saying thank you, he lowered his head and stood there motionless.

The young man A Le, after being at a loss for a while, decisively stepped forward and grabbed Arthur. He clearly saw Arthur's frown because of his actions, but he still did not let go. He said firmly:
"Please help us. I heard what you just said. Isn't it just 'laundering black money'? I can do this!"

Arthur did not speak, but turned back to look at Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang sighed heavily after listening to A Le's words, but in the end he did not express his position.

His look really made Arthur angry.

What's the matter, I was kindly helping, but looking at him like that, why did it feel like I was forcing him to do it?
Arthur no longer cared about what happened to Lao Zhang. He said to A Le:
"I've changed my mind. I'll lend you this money. I'm not interested in your restaurant. I was just blinded by lard. How about it? I'll lend you the money and you can work for me to pay off the debt." , is the deal done?”

"make a deal!"

Young Ah Le didn't hesitate at all, and Arthur didn't care what Lao Zhang thought anymore. After telling Ah Le where to find him, he simply came to Fang Jiaju who was drinking tea. said:
"Let's go. I'll pay back the money. Come get the money from me."

Fang Jiaju looked at Arthur, and then at the other people who were obviously Arthur's men. He drank the tea in the cup happily and said:

"lead the way."

Anyway, from the look on Boss Zhang's face, he must have no money, but Arthur had money at a glance.

Again, he only cares about collecting money, and everything else has nothing to do with him.

The group of people left the hotel and walked out of Chinatown. Fang Jiaju took his little brother, and the two of them followed Arthur and the others.

"Brother Jiaju, is this a trap?"

"What are you afraid of!"

Fang Jiaju dismissed his younger brother's worries, reached out and touched the hand ax on his lower back, and whispered:

"Just be more alert."

Arthur and the others didn't pay much attention to the whispers of the latter two people. They could only say that in Fang Jiaju's eyes, this huge debt was nothing at all in Arthur's eyes.

As soon as they stepped out of Chinatown, Arthur and the others who were walking in front stopped. Fang Jiaju, who was standing behind, didn't pay attention and almost bumped into the person in front. He wanted to question a few words, but he soon saw the people blocking the road. The people in front of them.

"Karl's people."

Fang Jiaju reminded Arthur.

At the entrance of Chinatown, Karl, who was blocking the crowd with others, saw Arthur finally coming out of Chinatown. He opened his arms and said enthusiastically:

"Ah, you really kept me waiting for a long time." Arthur didn't eat well at all just now. Now looking at Karl who was looking for trouble, he said impatiently:
"A good dog should know where it should be."

Ma Jiaju listened to Arthur's English translation of "a good dog doesn't block the road". Since the words were very simple, he could understand it, so he couldn't help but laugh.

Although Karl had never heard the saying that a good dog stays out of the way, he understood that Arthur compared himself to a dog in these words. He put away the hypocritical smile on his face and said in an indifferent tone:

"Mr. Callahan? I'm not here to trouble you. Sean McGuire owes a sum of money in my casino. I know he is yours. I was not planning to bother you, but I Of the two people sent to collect the bill, one disappeared and the other hid. So, I thought about it again and finally felt that I should come and visit you. So, do you know what is going on here? ?”

Sadie, who was standing next to Arthur, laughed carelessly:
"Hey? You are really funny. Your own person is missing. Why are you looking for us? Besides, Sean owes you money. You are looking for Sean, but we don't owe you money?"

"..."

Karl considers himself a person with a good temper. One purpose of coming here this time is to find out about his two missing brothers, and the other purpose is to see what kind of person Calla Han is.

Thinking about the task Bronte had given him, Karl ignored Sadie's provocative words, but looked at Arthur and continued:

"Mr. Callahan, can you give me a reply?"

"Okay." Arthur nodded seriously, and then said word by word: "Get the hell out of here!"

After Arthur said this, the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Karl, who had tolerated Arthur for a long time, was not entirely a good-tempered person. Considering that drawing a gun in Saint Denis would not have a good impact on shooting, Karl sneered and said provocatively:

"Then let's talk with fists? No need for a gun?"

"Come on." After Arthur said that, he took off his coat and took the lead into the crowd on the opposite side.

Arthur's happy look really surprised the people on the other side.

So, after Arthur rushed over and hugged the waist of the person closest to him, and lifted him up and flipped him over, the enemies who reacted shook their fists at Arthur who had already rushed into them, and Arthur quickly He blocked the fist that was thrown at him from the right, then pushed hard, and used the inertia of turning around to deliver another powerful and heavy punch, directly hitting the enemy who was trying to hug him from behind.

After this set of smooth combos, the two groups were completely in a fight.

After patching up the head of the first person who was knocked over, Arthur began to search for Carl in the crowd. During this period, Arthur, who was strolling in the chaos, punched Hosea down and choked him. Then he helped Sadie, who was almost attacked by a sneak attack, and kicked off the dagger that the enemy took out after being beaten. Finally, Arthur found Karl who was fighting back and forth with Short.

It wasn't until he watched Short kneeling on the ground after being punched in the abdomen by Karl that Arthur was just about to step forward to help.

A group of Chinese uniformly dressed in black mandarin jackets and holding hatchets came forward and surrounded them. Seeing that a third party had joined in, Arthur, who had helped Short, and Karl, who had a look on his face, stopped. own people.

Soon, a path separated from the group of black mandarin jackets. An old man wearing a gold mandarin jacket and a small round felt hat came to the front with two iron bladders in his left hand and said with a smile:
"Everyone, is it inappropriate for you to cause trouble on my territory?"

Although Arthur didn't know this old man, he could probably guess by looking at his posture that this guy should be the talker of the Hongmen Guild Hall or something like that.

On the other side, after Karl spit out his loose teeth, he looked at the old man with an unkind expression and said:

"Mr. Zheng, this is outside Chinatown, so this is no longer your territory."

The old man, who was called Mr. Zheng, still had the same smiling face. Although he looked kind, his words did not sound like he was kind at all. He said:
"Then according to what you say, it's okay for me to go and set off cannons in front of Mr. Bronte's house tonight, right?"

"Old man, you have to be careful what you say...!" Karl's cruel words had not yet come out.

An iron gall originally held in Zheng Shixiong's hand was like a cannonball, flying towards Cole. If Karl hadn't dodged quickly, the younger brother behind him would have been knocked unconscious by the iron gall. , will be his fate.

"you!"

After Zheng Shixiong put away his smiling face, his whole person instantly exuded a breathtaking aura, and he still said slowly:
"Karl, the territory of Chinatown was conquered by me and my men, not by Angelo Bronte's charity. When your master talks to me, you must respectfully call me Zheng. Sir, I advise young people like you to learn more, otherwise it’s so windy outside, I’m afraid you’ll flash your tongue.”

Arthur, who was watching the excitement on the side, saw Zheng Shixiong lecturing Carl like he was lecturing a chicken. He couldn't help but take a high look at the Hongmen guild hall. After Carl left in dejection, Arthur stepped forward and clasped his fists. , said politely in Cantonese:
"Hello, Mr. Zheng, I have long admired your name."
