A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 278
Arthur and Marybeth were like this, dealing with these things one by one, and before they knew it, it was night.

It wasn't until Chief Luoyu brought his son Feiying and Evelin to visit him as promised that Arthur was finally freed from these trivial matters.

"Sorry, the senator kept us waiting longer than promised, so we came a little late." Evelin said apologetically.

"It's okay, this time is just right." Arthur leaned back in the chair while relaxing, motioning for Mary Beth to take a rest, and then called Henry who was outside the door to get everyone a cup of coffee.

After a few people sat down, the coffee cups were brought over. After thanking Henry, Arthur said:

"I guess your meeting with this senator must have been unsatisfactory, right?"

"It's a waste of time! It's useless!" Feiying said in an irritable tone.

Chief Luoyu picked up the coffee and took a sip. After politely complimenting him, he said:
"Mr. Morgan, do you have any good ideas?"

Arthur did not mince words, but asked directly:

"First of all, I want to ask clearly, why are you unwilling to be expelled?"

This question sounded strange at first, but Luoyu understood what Arthur wanted to ask, but Feiying didn't think much about it. After hearing Arthur's question, he asked dissatisfiedly:

"If someone were to kick you out of your home! Would you do it?!"

"Flying Eagle, don't talk to Mr. Morgan with this attitude. He doesn't mean what you understand. Besides, we must be grateful that people are willing to help us. You shouldn't be so rude."

"..."

Looking at Fei Ying who had shut up but was still unconvinced, Arthur didn't mind. To be honest, there were indeed some problems with the expression of his question just now. He explained:

"It's okay, yes, no one wants to be expelled, but as far as I know, your current territory is not a good place, right? Being expelled again is just from a bad place. , just moved to another not-so-good place."

"Mr. Morgan, it is indeed what you said, yes, but my tribe can no longer afford to be expelled again. We were driven away from the land we depended on for survival. Now, although this territory is barren, it can barely survive. To be able to feed my people, we don’t have enough food reserves, lack of medicine and clothing. If we are expelled again, many of our people will die just on the road..."

They are just Indians who rely on hunting and gathering to survive. When they leave the familiar territory, they have to look for safe water and food sources again, and long-distance migration in the west is a very dangerous thing.

Maybe in Arthur's view, this is just being expelled from one uninhabited land to another, but in this process, they will lose most of their tribesmen, and it is very likely that they will lose too many mature men and will not be able to live in the new territory. Survive within.

"I understand what you mean. Chief Rainfall, at least, I can guarantee that if you are really expelled from the current territory, I will provide you with food and material resources, and take this as the worst outcome Right. As for the matter of not being deported, I have also thought about it. The oil under your territory is obviously the most important reason. Therefore, before doing other things, I think we must first confirm whether this is true .”

After Luo Yu sincerely thanked Arthur for his willingness to provide them with material support, he asked with some confusion:

"Does this still need to be confirmed? The explorers have given them reports and if there's no oil, I don't understand why they would do that."

Arthur was not sure, he just said:
"This is not a troublesome thing. I think it's better to confirm again. After all, if the oil thing is false, it will be much easier to help you avoid being deported."

Speaking of this, Arthur thought of the group of people from the Crude Oil Production Association, so he said to Mary Beth on the side:

"I remember that Miller left his contact information, right? Help me make an appointment with him tomorrow."

"Okay." Then Arthur and the others chatted about other things. Seeing that Arthur was really ready to help with this matter, Chief Luoyu said gratefully before leaving:
"Mr. Morgan, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, you are a friend of our tribe."

Even the flying eagle on the side nodded affirmatively. Before anything was done, the father and son already regarded themselves as friends. Arthur smiled and said:

"I will contact you again if there is any progress. You should stay in Saint Denis for a while, right?"

"Yes, they are staying at my house temporarily. If you have any news, just ask someone to come to my house and contact me." After Evelin finished speaking, she shook hands with Arthur and left with Luoyu and the others.

After Arthur sent them away and sat down on the sofa again, Marybeth did not ask Arthur why he wanted to get involved in this matter like Charlie did, but asked:

"Want a late night snack?"

"Of course. Eggs Bennett with fried fish is definitely a good choice." Arthur replied with a smile.

They didn't have to wait too long for this late-night snack. When Arthur used a fork to cut open the eggs Benedict filled with sugary fillings and was about to enjoy them, Marybeth brought them with a wicked smile that he hadn't finished processing just now. The document says:

"Then while you eat, we can continue what we didn't finish just now?"

"..."

Well, no wonder I asked myself if I wanted to have a midnight snack. It turned out that I was waiting for him here.

"Mary Beth, is it possible..."

"No. The next thing is about the land of the Bravest family in Rhodes Town..."

"..."

……

The next morning, Arthur reluctantly climbed out of bed. Under normal circumstances, he should still be sleeping at this point, but he was woken up by Charlie with a serious look on his face.

Although he knew that something must have happened if Charlie woke him up like this, but Arthur had been processing those files until late at night last night. After finally falling asleep, he suddenly had a nightmare about processing files all night long.

If possible, Arthur hoped to find out from Charlie later what exactly had happened to him that woke him up so early in the morning.

Finally, he got up. Arthur, wearing pajamas, sat on a chair and drank coffee to refresh himself, while signaling to Charlie that he could speak now.

Just listen to Charlie say:

"Nellie is here."

Nelly?Valentine's old Nellie?
"A message."
