A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 261 Good evening, everyone
After seeing Arthur coming upstairs, no one on the second floor immediately recognized the man they had been talking about for a long time.

It's not that they really didn't recognize him, but they simply didn't expect Arthur to show up.

In any case, Arthur's pure black outfit and the dazzling white flower on his chest had successfully made everyone frown.

"Good evening, everyone."

"..."

Everyone was quiet, except for the sound of burning cigars, no one responded to Arthur.

Upon seeing this, Arthur showed a smiley expression and continued to introduce himself:

"Arthur Morgan, it's my pleasure to meet you all for the first time. Forgive me, I can't match your faces to your names."

After hearing that this was really Arthur Morgan himself.

The expression of Hector Fellowes, the owner of the "Journal of Saint-Denis", immediately turned ugly. Among the people sitting at the scene, if anyone wanted to see Arthur the least, it was him, not to mention that he was burned. As for the news he ordered from the newspaper, Fellows had to worry about his personal safety.

"Mr. Morgan, Leviticus Cornwall, I really didn't expect to see you here. This is the first time we have met, right? We have been friends for a long time." Cornwall stood up and said.

Arthur did not shake Cornwall's extended hand, he just nodded and said:
"Mr. Cornish, I'm surprised to see you here, but I didn't come here to see you today."

After saying that, he left Cornwall aside and walked straight to Bronte, the only Italian-looking person in the group, and said:
"Get to know each other, Mr. Bronte."

"Mr. Morgan, I can't think of any reason why I need to know you?" Bronte said doubtfully.

Arthur told Cornwall that he was not here to see him, and now he took the initiative to greet him, so he came specifically to see him?

After Bronte was reminded by Cornwall just now, he was already guessing that Arthur might be the supporter behind the Mexicans, but he couldn't figure out why Arthur would do this?
Facing Bronte's attitude, Arthur didn't care much, he turned around and sat down beside Fellowes.

After putting his feet up on the table and putting his arms around Fellowes' shoulders, Arthur said:

"You must be Mr. Fellows. I heard that you will also attend this party. The owner of the "Journal of Saint-Denis"? Well, it must be you. After all, you were the most nervous after I came in, weren't you? "

"Well, Mr. Morgan..."

"Shh, don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble for you. I didn't set your newspaper office on fire, so don't look so scared. I'm not a gangster after all, am I? A real gang member is standing in front of you. That's the one. Besides, we were all searched before coming in, so don't worry, you're safe." Arthur said, picking one up from the table with his other hand and putting it in the box He lit a cigar on his own.

The few people present were all irritated by Arthur's defiant appearance. They are the best in all walks of life. Regardless of who Arthur is, how dare he be so arrogant and provocative in his current troubled state? them?

Among them, our war hero Major Hobart Crowley had the most grumpy temper. He angrily put out his unfinished cigar in the ashtray, and then shouted:
"Ah, who are you? Huh? Who are you trying to cause trouble by coming here with such shamelessness?!"

Arthur took a few puffs on the newly lit cigar, flicked the match towards the grumpy old man, and said coldly:

"Since I saved a small life on the battlefield, then you should live a good life. Is it better not to get involved in things that don't involve you?"

"...!" The grumpy Crowley just stood up and was about to explode, but was pushed down by Cornish who was standing beside him.

Just listen, said Cornwall:

"So... I don't know why Mr. Morgan is here today? He can't be planning to make trouble on this occasion, right? Not only will it end badly, but besides adding some material to the newspapers in the next few days, it will be very helpful to you. It shouldn’t be of much help, Mr. Morgan?”

make trouble?end?
Arthur still ignored Cornwall, but looked at Bronte and said:
"Mr. Bronte, did you know there will be a fireworks show tonight?"

……

Carlo, Bronte's military adviser, did not accompany Bronte to the mayor's banquet.

Now he is pacing back and forth anxiously in Bronte's mansion. It has been a day, and he has not received any news from Karl all day today.

Today, almost in the afternoon, Carlo realized that something was wrong. Even if there was something going on, there should be no news at all. Except for the last report that Ryan's right-hand man was caught and wanted to be interrogated overnight, there was no news. information.

Carlo was worried that something had gone wrong, so he advised Bronte not to attend the mayor's dinner that night. However, Bronte did not listen to his advice and still insisted on attending. Unfortunately, Carlo could only let him Bring more people, and stay here, waiting for the people sent to Carl's safe house to inquire about information to come back.

"How is it? The person sent to the safe house still hasn't returned?" Carlo asked the little boss in charge of Bronte's security.

The little boss didn’t know what was going on, so he could only say truthfully:
"It's really strange. I've sent three waves of people, but they haven't come back. If it doesn't work, can I take them to see it myself?"

Carlo shook his head.Now there is no point in sending more people. None of the three groups sent out have come back, which is enough to explain the problem.

There was no doubt that something was wrong with Carl.

After Carlo rejected the suggestion of the little boss, he immediately ordered:
"You should bring people to pick up Mr. Bronte now, and remember to tell him that something happened over there with Carl. Bring more people, and then send one person to find Lambert and ask him to send more police here."

"okay, I get it."

Then, Carlo suddenly thought of something and stopped the little boss who turned around and was about to do something. He continued:
"By the way, ask the person in charge of security in the yard to set up searchlights, then let out all the wolves and dogs they keep, and tell them to be more alert at night..."

Looking at Carlo's nervous look, the little boss also realized that the situation was probably really bad this time. He nodded and went to do what he was told.

……

Chinatown, Hongmen Hall.

It was still the tea room before, but the people who came were Charlie and Sadie.

Zheng Shixiong looked at Charlie who stopped talking after he declared his family, so he asked Sadie:
"So Mr. Morgan asked you to come here just to tell me that after tonight, Bronte's territory will be divided into half of my territory?"

Sadie put down the tea cup in front of her that she was not used to drinking, nodded and said:
"That's what Arthur meant."

"why?"

When Sadie caught the editor that day, she didn't realize why he was so cooperative before she threatened him, and even burned down the newspaper office. But then Arthur found her again and asked her about the whole story. They Just found this wrong place.

"The editor-in-chief of the Saint-Denis Journal, it was you, old man, who sent someone to threaten you. You were also responsible for setting the fire..."

Before Sa Di finished speaking, Fang Jiaju, who was standing by, pulled out the ax behind him and struck Sa Di. He stopped before the ax blade touched Sa Di.

This was not only because he had no intention of actually striking, but also because the dagger in Charlie's hand was about to cut open his artery.

Although Fang Jiaju didn't know how this half-masked man managed to evade the search and get in with a dagger hidden on his body, he was really fast and he almost didn't see clearly how he made the move.

"Okay, okay, Jiaju, why are you so excited? Just put those guys away." Zheng Shixiong said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.

Arthur sent Charlie and Sadie. On the surface, it seemed that they were here to give him territory, but secretly, they were here to start an attack.

Sadie spread her hands indifferently and said:
"Old man, you asked me. Before I finished speaking, my head was almost split open. Tsk, are you going too far?"

"Sorry,... Jiaju!"

Hearing Zheng Shixiong call his name again, Fang Jiaju put away the ax, and Charlie also put away the dagger.

"Listen, Arthur doesn't care if you're showing your kindness or if you have other plans. He doesn't hate you, and he doesn't want to conflict with you. Half of Bronte's territory is his sincerity." Sadie followed suit. Said what was told.

"Taking Bronte's territory as a show of sincerity? That belongs to Bronte, not yours."

Zheng Shixiong just noticed that Sadie said after tonight. Does that mean Arthur will take action tonight?However, why can Arthur be so confident?
Charlie spoke at this time and said:
"You don't have to worry about it, do you agree?"

"Promise what?" Zheng Shixiong asked with a frown.

These two people were the strangest messengers he had ever seen. One was rude and the other was rude. He really couldn't understand why Arthur wanted these two people to deliver messages to him.

"Be our friends, not our enemies. Arthur said he didn't want to guess what you were planning. He didn't want to waste any more time thinking about it. Just be happy."

At this point, Shadi had basically finished what she had to say. If the old man had any more problems, Shadi would not care. Finally, she glared at Fang Jiaju, who was looking at her angrily.

Sadie obviously didn't realize that the reason why Fang Jiaju was like this was entirely due to her attitude towards Zheng Shixiong.

However, even if Sadie realized it, she probably didn't care. She looked at Zheng Shixiong and didn't add tea to herself, as if he was thinking about something.

So he reached for the teapot and filled his cup. As for Charlie?He didn't touch the tea in the cup at all, so she didn't need her help to fill it.
