A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 279 A Message

When Nellie, whom he hadn't seen for a while, came to Arthur in a formal suit, Arthur asked happily:

"What brings you to Saint-Denis?"

Nellie pushed up his glasses with a smile and said:
"Arthur, you run around all day, can't I take a rare trip?"

"Haha" Arthur hugged Nellie, and then the two sat down on the sofa.

Arthur lit a cigarette for himself, then put away his smile and asked:

"Charlie said you had a message for me?"

Nelli also became serious. He nodded and said:
"Yes, that's why I came to Saint-Denis, a cousin of mine, he wrote to me and said he was coming to Saint-Denis."

Neri's cousin, isn't that from Italy?

"Is that possible?" Arthur asked with a frown.

"Well, I probably haven't told you what my cousin does, right?" Nellie said seriously.

When I came to Saint Denis at this time, I came from Italy, and Nellie even came here to remind me. I felt that the answer to what Nellie's cousin was doing should be easy to guess.

"Killer?"

"Not exactly, but something like that."

Nellie took the cigarette from Arthur, lit it, and after taking a few puffs, he continued:

"Let me tell you this, my cousin, he usually acts as a guarantor when several local forces need to negotiate."

"I remember, isn't this kind of guarantor a family business? The guarantor will send two people who are related by blood to the home of each negotiating party. If something unexpected happens during the negotiation, which party takes action, causing someone to fail to leave the negotiation? table, then the killed party can kill the guarantor’s relatives, and then the guarantor will launch an endless pursuit of the party that violated the agreement?”

Hearing that Arthur was so familiar with the Sicilian guarantor system, Nellie smiled in surprise and said:
"You know very well? However, the way my cousin provides guarantee is different from what you said. His guarantee is very simple. You only need to make sure that the guarantor is him, then no party dares to negotiate. Hit the target."

"why?"

"Because my cousin will guarantee that no one who breaks the contract will survive."

Listening to Nellie's sworn words, Arthur felt that he was bragging, but Nellie's expression didn't look like it, but after all, wasn't his cousin just a guarantor?Since he is not a killer, why should he worry about this?

Thinking of this, Arthur asked incomprehensively:
"So, what do I need to worry about here?"

"You have a lot to worry about, Arthur, this cousin of mine. He never leaves Sicily. Once he leaves, it means that he has received a task from his native family, which means that his professional skills are needed here in the United States. Dispose of people.”

Arthur sat up seriously and asked:
"How's your relationship with your cousin?"

Nelly thought that Arthur wanted to let him talk to his cousin, so he said helplessly:

"It's not bad, but I think there's nothing I can do. Apart from asking you to be more vigilant, I can't even tell you when my cousin will arrive, because he didn't tell me either."

Arthur was not disappointed when he heard Nellie say this. After all, knowing about such a thing in advance had helped him avoid a lot of problems.

After thanking Nellie for coming to deliver the news to him, Arthur smiled and changed the subject: "So you are dressed so formally, you must be coming to Saint Denis and have other things to do?"

Nelly nodded and said:

"Indeed, I still have a brother here who I haven't seen for many years. No, although I don't know when my cousin will contact me, I can stop by to visit this brother of mine."

"Huh? Your cousin will contact you?"

"Yes, didn't I just say that he sent me a letter?"

Although this seems to be a breakthrough, if you think about it carefully, you don't know whether Nellie's cousin contacted him before the mission or after completing the mission. If he contacted him after completing the mission, wouldn't that have eliminated Arthur? …

Thinking of this, Arthur shook his head and said:
"It's okay. In short, I know about this matter. I'll take care of it. Do you need me to save his life as much as possible?"

"Well... It's not necessary. You should be more careful. Arthur, in this business, life or death is a matter of fate. Is there any way to hold back? You must not have such thoughts. Being careless will make you suffer the pain of failure." of."

After thanking Nellie again, Arthur suggested that Nellie dictate to him what his expression looked like, and he would try to draw it for him, and Nellie agreed.

Soon, on the page next to the previous drawing of the old man who made a lot of money out of Arthur's Casino, Arthur drew an ordinary-looking Italian man based on Nellie's dictation. Appearance.

……

After Charlie saw Nellie away, he looked at Arthur who was lost in thought about the portrait in the diary and asked:

"How to do it? Also, keep Bronte's life?"

"..."

After being silent for a while, Arthur tore off this page from the diary, handed it to Charlie, and said:

"Don't panic. Although Nellie described his expression as magical, an Italian in the United States doesn't have the same conditions as he did in Sicily. We can recognize him at a glance. Don't worry. As for Bronte, he is indeed It's because he danced too hard, it's time to remind him..."

Charlie nodded silently. Arthur was right. He was an Italian, and there was also a picture of his appearance based on Nellie's description. As long as he was careful, there was really no need to worry too much.

While the two were still discussing how to deal with Bronte, Eamonn came in from outside. He nodded to Charlie, and then said to Arthur:
"There's something going on in O'Drisik's cell."

"Have you bribed the police to spread the news outside?" Arthur asked with a smile.

Looking at Eamonn who nodded affirmatively, Arthur felt that these people really lacked some new ideas. How could they not be discovered with such an old-fashioned method.

In fact, I really don’t blame Odrisk for his old-fashioned methods. The main reason is that people like Aemon were watching too hard. They even asked Lambert to help send one of their own people in and locked him up next door to Odrisk. You How could this not be discovered?

"So, where's the news?" Arthur continued to ask.

Eamonn took out a letter and handed it to Arthur.

This is a letter written to a person with a pseudonym. At first glance, the content seems to be nothing, just some family gossip, but this kind of routine is all too familiar to Arthur.

After a brief reading, the general content of this letter is that Odris instructed his men to arrange manpower and prepare to rob him during his execution. Moreover, this vengeful guy also asked his men to remember to 'greet' first. Take a look at his mistress.
