A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 247 Thank you for saving me

After Hosea finished smoking another whole cigarette, he said with a dark expression:

"Arthur, what are you going to do next? If it doesn't work, let's retreat. Saint Denis. I don't know why this place always gives me a bad feeling. I seem to see an invisible storm coming. form."

Looking at Hosea's gloomy face, Arthur asked worriedly:
"How about you go back to Rhodes first?"

Hosea shook his head and said:

"If I don't leave, the meaning expressed by Pinkerton named Webster is very clear. If you don't arrest me, just because you arrest me, then the money will not fall into their pockets. Therefore, I am here It’s the same everywhere, no matter what, they won’t let me get caught by the authorities.”

Hearing that Hosea mistakenly thought this was what he was worried about, Arthur said:
"I'm worried about your health, Hosea."

"Then you are worried for nothing, kid. I used to sleep in the open air in the camp with only a small blanket, and I was fine. Look at the soft big bed now, with dedicated service. Don't worry, with such good conditions, I am even finer. .”

What Hosea was talking about was just material factors, but what he didn't mention was that the things he had to worry about now were much more complicated than before.

Hosea continued:
"You haven't answered me yet, what are you going to do next?"

Arthur took a deep breath and said easily:

"The next step, of course, is to open the branch as usual, continue to muddy the waters in Saint-Denis, and then wait for the official investigative committee that Webster said to come to trouble."

Although Arthur's tone was very relaxed, Hosea, who has been by Arthur's side recently, certainly understood that these things are not so easy to handle now. He said:
"You should be like me, and you don't think that Mayor Lemieux is just having a brain convulsion, so he is causing trouble for you, right?"

"Of course, not anymore." Arthur showed a sly smile and continued:

"After dealing with these political people so many times, I found that the biggest difference between them and the desperadoes is that they never go straight when destroying their enemies, but they are all people who make people feel uncomfortable. The confusing routine starts from an inconspicuous place, and then connects with each other until the final blow is the fatal blow."

After Hosea carefully tasted Arthur's words, he said puzzledly:

"I still don't understand why Mayor Lemieux is looking for trouble with you? You guys had obviously cooperated happily before, and you even received his invitation to the New Year's Eve party."

Arthur nodded and said:
"I originally thought so, and I even thought Lemieux would be a good friend. But, Hosea, I forgot where I saw this sentence. It said, 'In politics , there is no human existence, no feelings, only interests.’ So, I guess there is someone who can bring him more benefits than me.”

There is another half of this sentence that Arthur did not say out loud, that is, in politics, they do not say that they have killed a person, they only say that they have cleared an obstacle.

And Arthur is now very likely to be the obstacle they want to clear.

The two sat on the chairs on the balcony. The night was getting darker and it was still a little cold outside at night. Arthur did not continue chatting with Hosea on the balcony, but went back to the house to rest. On the way back to the house, Arthur Se did not forget to say a few cordial greetings to the employees responsible for night security work he met.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The news that the "Journal of Saint-Denis" newspaper office was set on fire spread completely in the streets of Saint-Denis.

As for Ryan, who was picked up by Mrs. Capo and brought home, he survived the disaster and heard this latest gossip from Capo while drinking porridge with the help of Ramiro.

"This Arthur Morgan is too ruthless. Yesterday's newspaper was burned down in the newspaper office that night. It's so awesome!" Capo sat at the end of the bed and excitedly told the two of them the gossip he had heard.

After Ramiro fed the last bite of porridge from the bowl into Ryan's mouth, he frowned and asked Capo:
"Did you go shopping for Mrs. Capo?"

"Hey? Ramiro, didn't you hear what I just told you?"

Ramiro put the empty bowl on the cabinet on the window sill and said earnestly:

"That is to say, you went to the alley to play cards with that group of people again, right?" Seeing that Ramiro guessed that he was playing cards after only listening to his gossip, Capo said quickly:
"I bought it, I bought it, please keep your voice down, I will be scolded again later if the old woman hears it! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

And Ryan, who was wrapped in gauze and was sitting on the bed that originally belonged to Capo, was later given to Ramiro, and was eventually used to place him. After listening to the conversation between the two, he spoke sincerely. :

"Thank you for saving me."

"Ah, you're welcome. If you really want to say it, it was Mrs. Capo who saved you." Ramiro said with a somewhat honest smile.

Capo, who was sitting at the end of the bed, said in a very destructive tone:

"Listen, remember, just give me the room fee, medical expenses and food expenses. There is no need to thank you or anything else. You are so good at choosing places and you just happened to end up in front of my house. You are lucky." .

Ryan looked at Ramiro who told Capo not to talk nonsense, smiled and nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I will repay you..."

Just after Ryan finished speaking, they inside the house heard a loud banging on the door outside the house.

"Boom, boom boom!"

"Come on, come on, who is it? Knocking so hard, the door is broken!" Mrs. Capo, who was cleaning, said as she opened the door.

I saw two Italians in black suits standing outside the house.

In the room, Capo, who was looking through the window, recognized these people as Karl's people at a glance. He frowned and looked back at Ramiro and said:
"Are you in trouble? There are people from Cabo outside."

Ramiro rolled his eyes and said:
"Isn't this what I'm asking you? What should I do, do you want to hide?"

Good guy, Ramiro immediately concluded that it was Cabo who caused the trouble, before the two of them figured out what was going on.

Ryan, who was lying on the bed, struggled to get out of the bed. If Ramiro hadn't helped him quickly with quick eyes and hands, Ryan almost fell to the ground before he could stand still.

Before Ramiro could ask, Ryan said in a solemn tone:

"They're here to catch me!"

Although Ryan was now powerless to resist, when he finished saying this, he already held the large end of the spoon he got from the bedside table when he got up.

You know, the iron handle can also be used to puncture an artery.

No matter what, Ryan would not surrender. He looked at Ramiro and Capo, whose expressions changed greatly after hearing what he said. Just when Ryan was about to fight to the death, he was unexpectedly beaten by them. It was stuffed under the cramped bed.

Capo and Ramiro had a tacit understanding. While pulling the sheets to cover the bottom of the bed, Capo had already laid down on the bed and covered himself with the quilt, while Ramiro picked up the empty paper on the bedside. bowl.

Just as they were getting ready, Mrs. Capo who failed to stop the two Karl's men outside was pushed open, and the door to Ryan's room was also opened. After some inspection, it was discovered that the person lying on the bed was not the target Ryan. , the two of them finally left in disbelief.

Mrs. Capo, who had been following them, was still complaining:

"I told you, I don't have the person you are looking for here, don't you believe it!"

"Sorry, ma'am, for the interruption. If you see someone who fits the description, please contact us at any time. Remember, Mr. Carl will not treat anyone who is willing to cooperate."
