A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 280 Details
After Arthur replied to Odrisk's letter for help, he handed it back to Aemon, and then asked:
"Did Lambert say when O'Drisik's execution will be?"

"Your hearing is on the same day as boss." Eamonn answered directly without thinking too much.

Arthur forgot here, this was what he and Lambert requested. He thought of using this method to divert the attention of the bored citizens, so that his hearing would not be filled with these citizens who were ready to make noises.

In the past few days, newspapers have finally quieted down a bit, and the owner of the Saint-Denis Daily News seems to have finally figured it out since the banquet. Recently, he has been reporting some news that has nothing to do with Arthur.

Seeing that his heat was about to pass, but the hearing that followed had to pull him out again for another round. To be honest, this really made Arthur angry.

"Okay, you go and send this letter intact, and then go say hello to Lambert and tell him about this matter. Just remember to make him prepared. He doesn't need to do anything else. Worry, if he keeps asking questions, you can just think of any excuse to deal with him, is there a problem?"

"No."

Eamonn agreed and got ready to do things. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Arthur, who asked:
"By the way, is Martin here?"

Martin was also the subject of questioning during this hearing.

Imon shook his head, expressing that he wasn't clear, thinking about it, it seemed like he shouldn't be asking about this matter, after waving him to do something, he checked the time, and Arthur was about to take Charlie out for a trip.

Yesterday, Mary Beth had an appointment with Miller from the Petroleum Producers Association, and it was almost time to make the appointment.

……

"Mr. Morgan, I haven't seen you for a while. You are very busy."

Miller smiled and invited Arthur into the house. The British decoration style in the house was in line with Arthur's impression of him, a stuffy fake gentleman.

Arthur put on a smile to prevaricate a few words, then went straight to the topic:

"I need a professional exploration agency. Do you have any recommendations? If you ask, it must be someone who has never dealt with Cornwall. I think this should be the standard for you."

Facing Arthur who stated his intention straight to the point, Miller said somewhat unaccustomedly:

"Mr. Morgan, do you understand? Under normal circumstances, when a person is a guest at another person's house, he will first bring a gift, at least a decent bottle of wine, then chat about the current situation, and then politely care about the other person Whether your relatives and friends are safe and healthy recently, in the end, after several trials, with the consent of the other party, we will enter the topic..."

"Okay, now I know, after hearing what you said, let's take it as if we have already gone through this set of procedures. Well, as for gifts, I don't have any wine. I will bring two cigars. You want one "?" Arthur crossed his legs, took out two cigars from his pocket, and shook them at Miller.

By the way, these cigars that Arthur carried with him originally had boxes, but the boxes were used by him to contain cash as gifts for Lambert.

Seeing this scene, Miller couldn't help laughing, but he didn't refuse. After taking the cigar from Arthur, he got up and took a crystal ashtray from the cabinet at the back, and put it between the two of them.

After a burst of smoke rose from the room, the two of them puffed away for a while, and then Arthur continued:

"Can we get down to business now? The gift is ready, and your process is over, Mr. Miller." "Of course, it is also very important to learn how to be a polite guest, Mr. Morgan. After all, you may still Going to visit other people's homes, not everyone is like me and doesn't care about these rules."

If Miller said he didn't care, Arthur couldn't believe how particular those who care about these fancy things must be.

Miller continued:

"You just asked me about the prospecting company. You don't need to bother others. There are people in our association who run a prospecting company. If you need it, I can introduce it to you. Then, let me ask one more question, are you Where did you find the oil field where the gold is coming out of Huahua?"

Arthur took a sip of his cigar, shook his head and said:

"Cornwall found it."

"Details."

Miller's level of concern about this matter has increased visibly after mentioning Cornwall.

Arthur did not sell the truth and directly recounted to Miller the discovery of rich oil fields in Chief Luoyu's territory.

After listening, Miller frowned, took a long puff of cigar, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, and then said:
"If you say that, I know it, but what we know is that Cornwall hired an exploration company to explore that area, and then nothing was found. And, I will tell you this straight , that area was explored by members of our association before the Indians entered, but no so-called rich oil reserves were found..."

"You mean..." Arthur didn't expect that he originally planned to come to Miller to introduce an exploration company to re-explore, but he got such surprising news.

"I mean, if, forget it, no if, we will definitely not miss the oil field with rich reserves, as long as Cornwall has no other purpose, either the exploration company is cheating him, or it is exploration The police are trying to trick him, and no matter what the possibility is, Cornwall is going to be tricked, which is really happy news.”

At the end of the sentence, Miller laughed happily, and then said that in order to celebrate the joyful news, he was going to open a bottle of red wine for Arthur.

Since Arthur had other arrangements later, he did not let Miller open the wine, but continued to ask:

"Then how do I prove that there is no oil in this area?"

"I won't ask you why you did this. Now there is an exploration company that has given a report that there are indeed rich oil reserves. If you want to overturn this report, you have to find a more convincing one. However, as far as I know, Cornwall is looking for the most convincing exploration company, so you obviously can't prove that there is no oil in that land before he actually starts drilling." Miller replied .

After hearing this, Arthur sighed in his heart that this matter was difficult to handle, and he continued to ask:
"In that case, wouldn't it be impossible to determine whether there is really an oil field before mining?"

"Yes, what do you think? Mr. Morgan, this is the charm of the oil industry, isn't it? No one knows whether oil will come out when a drilling well is drilled. If you win the bet, you will get rich. If you lose the bet, you will be rich. Nothing..."

"...The survey report is just something that allows you to appropriately reduce the chance of making mistakes. If it were so accurate, they would have explored all the places and dug for oil themselves. Why would they open an exploration company?"
