A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 249 He's a fart
Bravest Manor.

In front of the burned-out mansion with only its black skeleton left, many interested parties who had been invited or heard about the land auction gathered here.

Today's auction was conducted by the auction company entrusted by Lemoyne State Bank. Arthur did not know him. Although he had told Moriarty before that he could go and talk to them, Moriarty did not request it. There is no need to do anything unnecessary.

Arthur took a few casual glances and found several businessmen in the crowd who he had met at the Gray family banquet before.

Just looking at the large number of people present at the auction, Arthur knew that Moriarty did what he said and wanted to hold the auction openly and fairly.

"Ah, Mr. Callahan, or should I call you Mr. Morgan?" Moriarty smiled and came to Arthur to greet him.

At this time, there was a vacuum around Arthur, and everyone else was consciously or unconsciously moving away from him. This made Moriarty's step forward immediately attract the concerned eyes of most people.

Arthur noticed these looks, but didn't pay attention. He just smiled and said:

"Actually, I don't mind if you call me Arthur?"

"Just kidding, I'll keep calling you Mr. Callahan. To be honest, I thought you would miss today's auction? After all, you know, the recent news related to you is the talk of everyone's table."

Listening to Moriarty's words, Arthur spread his hands helplessly and said:
"People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. Mr. Moriarty, do you think I should be worried about something now?"

After Moriarty savored Arthur's clever metaphor, he smiled and said:

"I guess all I can say is, I'm afraid, there are penalties for success, Mr. Callahan."

Are there penalties for success?

Interesting interpretation, Arthur did not talk any more on this topic, but asked:

"You and Strauss must have met, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Strauss is really a very good banker. I am surprised that he has no experience working in a bank."

To a certain extent, Moriarty's performance today was a bit over-enthusiastic, and Arthur clearly remembered that since he threatened him with his wife and daughter, even though every time Moriarty saw him He was deliberately hiding it, but there was still fear of him in his eyes.

But today?

Arthur didn't see it. With this question in his mind, he continued to ask:

"So everything you talked about went well?"

Moriarty nodded and said affirmatively:
"Yes, it went very smoothly. Don't worry, we all took the risk on this matter, Mr. Callahan, but in the end you will understand how right it was to choose our bank."

Arthur was noncommittal. The Valentine Bank has been repaired since it was bombed by Dutch. Although he doesn't know what he is repairing, it has been able to last so long, but as Strauss said, To acquire the Bravest family's land, they needed money that could be put into the bank. Arthur naturally chose Moriarty, who was willing to cooperate.

So this time, not long after Strauss arrived in Saint-Denis, he set off to Rhodes Town to negotiate the deal with Moriarty, and then deposited the real profits from the oil company into the Lemoyne Cantonal Bank. Under the premise, Moriarty also received a batch of not-so-clean money.

However, this only temporarily solves a small part of the inventory that is inconvenient to be deposited in the bank.

Ah, by the way, Charlie personally escorted this batch of money with the company's employees, and transported it all the way from Valentine to Rhodes Town.

Thinking about this, Arthur joked:
"So, Mr. Moriarty's bonus at the end of the year will probably be considerable, right?"

"Hmm... Indeed. Okay, I have to talk to other customers of our bank, so I won't bother you here anymore." After Moriarty left simply, Arthur was alone again. People.

On today's trip, he was originally going to come with Martin, but Martin ended up going to arrest a wanted criminal.

Yes, Martin has adapted very well to the position of Sheriff. His reputation among the residents of Rhodes Town is much better than that of the alcoholic Sheriff who was bombed.

However, it must not be too difficult to have a better reputation than the Drunken Sheriff?

Arthur was thinking about these messy things alone, and saw Baird, who had been not far away from just now, desperately trying to signal him with his eyes, and finally couldn't help it anymore.

Seeing the governor's secretary, Baird, who had been slow to come forward before, finally came to him, Arthur smiled with an obvious lack of enthusiasm and said:

"This is not the governor's secretary, Mr. Baird. He doesn't dare to be seen talking to me."

When Arthur said this, Baird didn't look embarrassed at all. Just like before, he smiled and said:

"Mr. Callahan, you are just kidding me when you say that. Why don't you dare?"

Arthur wanted to praise him a few words, but after all, what he said really seemed like that.

Of course, if it wasn't him who was trying to signal him to go to a deserted place in the corner just now, then Arthur would have to believe that he was telling the truth.

"Tell me, what is Mr. Governor's attitude? You know, those news are just rumors without evidence. Catching rumors will not have any impact on me."

Arthur just told Baird clearly that I am still me, I can still do the things I promised you before, and the news has no impact on me at all.

Baird understood the subtext in Arthur's words almost without any translation barriers. He nodded and said:

"Of course, I think so too. But, you know, the governor is in a position where he has to worry more than us? And when I am doing things outside, I am often regarded as the governor. mean……"

"so what?"

"So Mr. Governor does not want you, Mr. Callahan, to take pictures of this land that belongs to the Bravest family."

After Baird said this, he immediately stared at Arthur's expression and observed it. He tried to find Arthur's emotional changes, but unfortunately, Arthur just nodded as usual, as if he heard something indifferent. The same little things.

The problem is, if others don't know, how could Baird not know how determined Arthur is to win this land.

And according to Moriarty, Arthur has already prepared the money and deposited it in their bank.

Seeing Arthur who didn't make a statement, Baird could only continue to ask:
"Mr. Callahan, are you willing to follow the governor's advice?"

"Of course, no." Arthur reached out and patted Baird on the shoulder, then leaned his head against his ear and continued in a low voice:
"Please tell this to Mr. Governor for me..."

"Ok?"

Arthur said word for word:

"He's a fart."
