A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 345 Mean
The third floor of the St. Denis Hotel was rented out by Arthur. Arthur did not make any adjustments in the layout and hard decoration, but made some changes in the soft decoration, and then changed the room from the guest room to the office. Inside, some new desks and sofa chairs have been added.

Returning to this office after a long absence from the outskirts of Saint-Denis, Arthur hugged Hosea, who was waiting here. Perhaps he had been looking forward to Arthur's return during this period, and now he finally waited for him. So even though the news he received today was very bad, Hosea still showed a happy smile and said to Arthur:

"Mr. Morgan, are you enjoying your trip? Have you almost forgotten that there is a hard-working old man, even though he is a lot older, he is still in your office, working for you?"

Arthur wanted to tell Hosea that the kind of people he was talking about were usually called cows and horses. However, considering that the cows and horses had already worked very hard, it was somewhat inappropriate to confirm that they were cows and horses, so Arthur laughed. He said:

"Thank you for your hard work. It seems that Saint Denis was particularly lively during my absence."

"It was really lively. You know, a lot of people died." Hosea said, taking out his cigarette case and taking one for himself and Arthur.

It is true that among the dead people, the names include Ryan and Lambert. As for those little people who can't even be named Arthur, there are even more.

Arthur took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then let two pillars of smoke come out of his nose, before he mentioned what happened just now, saying:
"Dutch, he must have run away."

"Really? Then I think you should also know that the St. Denis bank was robbed and John and the others were caught."

Arthur nodded and said:

"Yes, I was hunted when I came back. Dutch was very smart. He chose to escape by boat from the pier. Otherwise, he would definitely not have been able to escape Saint Denis."

"Arthur, do you realize that the way you praised Dutch didn't look very sincere?" Hosea said, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Arthur held the cigarette in one hand, and fanned the smoke in front of him with the other, with a very ugly expression on his face, he said:
"Sincerity, how the hell can I be sincere! This old guy ran away by himself, and then everyone else was fucking caught. Javier almost died. I'm sincere, I really want to be sincere. Please don't show up again."

"Hahaha." After listening to Arthur's words, Hosea was now more open-minded. He smiled and said with deep sympathy:

"After leaving Dutch, I found that I finally saw clearly what kind of person he was."

"After so many years, did you understand?"

"Didn't you see how much earlier than I did?"

Faced with Hosea's ruthless revelation, Arthur could only choose to change the topic:
"Ryan is dead, can someone explain this to us?"

"Explain? What are you explaining to us? When Lambert was still alive, he sent Rudy, and now the interim director has come to tell us that this matter has nothing to do with their police department."

Arthur frowned and said:

"It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Doesn't Zheng Shixiong understand this?"

"Let's not talk about whether Zheng Shixiong understands this truth. Arthur, don't compare people to dogs. If people are compared to dogs, they are far inferior to dogs."

To a certain extent, Hosea's words sounded rather mean. It seemed that handling matters for Arthur during this time had actually made Hosea look more angular with his age.

However, taking Ryan's self-assertive and ungrateful behavior as an example, there is nothing wrong with Hosea's words. He seems to have a special view on this. Hosea continued:
"If you take a poor hungry dog ​​and make him comfortable and carefree, he won't bite you. The difference between a person and a dog is so obvious that it's better not to draw metaphors." Hosea, are you really mean?"

Hosea readily acknowledged Arthur's evaluation, then snuffed out the butt of the cigarette, and said:

"It's really hard for me not to be mean in your position. These people don't know how to be grateful or polite. If I don't want to be like them, then I can only learn to be mean, but Expressing my views to them in a tactful way.”

Arthur, who agreed very much with this, smiled and said:

"So, is there anything else I need to know about Ryan?"

"Yes, Capo, do you remember who it is?"

Arthur recalled it and easily remembered who Cabo was. This guy was quite eye-catching and conspicuous among a group of Mexicans.

"remember."

"Well, after learning of Ryan's death, Capo hijacked Lambert and went to the Hongmen Guild Hall to find Zheng Shixiong..."

"Wait a minute, I don't seem to have heard the news that Zheng Shixiong is dead?"

After Hosea signaled Arthur to calm down, he continued after being interrupted:
"Not dead, but he was shot. Lambert was shot in the head, and then a small boss who went with Capo was killed by Zheng Shixiong on the spot."

"...Let me guess, this Capo ran away?" Arthur asked.

Hosea patted the cigarette case, took another cigarette for himself from inside, and said:
"Yes, not only did he run away, but he also came to look for me."

"Do these people think we are doing charity?" Arthur said in an unhappy tone.

Oh, you didn't even say hello when something happened, you just did it as you asked, and then when things got messed up, you thought of Arthur, and then you came over to ask Arthur to help wipe your butt. No wonder the people in Hosea are so mean. Anyone else would have said a few mean words.

However, Hosea did not lose his humor. He nodded and said:

"I remember, didn't you do a good job in Valentine's charity group?"

"Very well, Hosea, I'm glad you haven't lost your sense of humor, but for now, let's talk about what you think about this, after all, you're dealing with it, I want to hear what you think." Arthur said.

Hosea was not sure when Arthur would come back, so this matter was naturally dealt with according to his ideas. Now that Arthur wanted to hear it, he opened his mouth and said:
"Whether it's Ryan or this Kabo, these young people are much scarier than old guys like Zheng Shixiong, well, or old guys like me. It's not about their strength, but what they dare to do. Do something that, in your opinion, you would never do, say kill Lambert. We may decide to do that in some cases, but never like in Cabo. You understand me. What do you mean?"

"Hmm, that's the benefit of being young."
