A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 368 Today, one week later

After getting Joseph's latest detailed itinerary, Arthur was not in a hurry to continue looking for other people's troubles.

Instead, he went to replenish the short-selling funds for Lilfumo, and asked him not to worry about whether he would be discovered from now on, and to increase his efforts in short-selling, and then he took the people back to the hotel to sleep.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Arthur slowly went to buy a newspaper. Don't ask Arthur why he went by himself. He simply wanted to take a walk by himself.

Then, after returning, Arthur finished his afternoon breakfast with coffee.

"This croissant tastes terrible," Linda said with disgust.

This was the first time Arthur heard Linda say something was unpalatable. Arthur smiled and said:

"Why, is there anything else that you find unpalatable?"

"I'm very picky about bread and desserts!" Linda threw the croissant back and drank the coffee angrily.

Arthur said while flipping through the newspaper:
"Then you can't just have lunch when you wake up. We have to go out soon. If you are hungry then, don't let me take you to eat."

This was a New York daily. After confirming that there was no news about Foreman, Arthur said to Charlie:

"You can go to Foreman's house later."

Although Arthur did not elaborate on what he was going to see, Charlie knew that Arthur wanted him to confirm whether Foreman's death had been discovered.

Soon, after finishing breakfast, Arthur took the two men left by Charlie and Linda to Trelawney's mansion.

After arriving, as soon as they met, Arthur noticed carefully that Trelawny seemed a little anxious?

"Arthur, those two brothers seem to have other ideas."

"you mean?"

Trelawney, though unsure, said:
“I can’t tell, but it just doesn’t feel right.”

At this time, Arthur would not allow the two brothers to make any mistakes. He said directly:

"Trelawny, tell me where I can find these two brothers."

"Arthur, what are you going to do?" Trelawny had some guesses, but as he said before, he couldn't be sure. This was just his feeling. It was also possible that he started to feel nervous as the plan progressed. .

Faced with Trelawney's inquiry, Arthur did not hide anything.

"What I have to do is to control them. You know, this scam has reached this point. We cannot let this uncontrollable risk exist."

"I have no proof."

Arthur nodded lightly, "Sometimes, no evidence is evidence, and this kind of thing does not require evidence. Just follow your own inner confirmation. I think there should be no need for them at this point in the plan." ?”

"Arthur..." Trelawny was suddenly afraid. Yes, Arthur's words sounded dangerous and unfamiliar.

As if seeing the worry in Trelawney's eyes, Arthur laughed.

"What? You don't think I want to kill them, do you?"

"Isn't it? We don't need them anymore, isn't it just..."

Trelawney still didn't say the last word.In response, Arthur just shook his head, and then explained with a smile:
"Remember Dutch's favorite saying?"

After a slight pause, Arthur imitated Dutch's tone and said:
"Kill those who deserve to be killed, and save those who deserve to be saved."

Trelawney just stared at Arthur who had finished saying this. For almost a minute, neither of them spoke. In the end, Trelawney relaxed and laughed first, and then said:

"Haha, to be honest, Arthur, your aura is getting heavier and heavier. The tone you said just now really made me think you were going to kill them. To be honest, although I doubt them both They were preparing to do some small tricks, but they did a really good job. I can even say that without the two of them, this scam would never be as large as it is today. They are absolutely geniuses in the use of the media."

"Don't worry, I am still the Arthur Morgan you know, but as I just said, our plan has reached the most critical moment. I have talked with my stockbroker, not only New York Securities Exchanges, even the London Stock Exchange, we have not let go, do you understand what this is?" Arthur said seriously.

Trelawny did not answer directly, but turned around and went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of good wine that had been prepared for a long time but had not been opened. After pulling out the cork, he came to Arthur with three wine glasses and said seriously said:

"I only know that now we are really going to get rich."

After Arthur signaled that Linda didn't need it, the two of them picked up the filled wine glasses.

Before clinking glasses, Trelawney asked Arthur to think about what they should toast, otherwise it would always feel like a little atmosphere was missing.

"To the greatest liar of the century, Josiah Trelawney?"

"No, no, we won't say this until we succeed. For now, let's say something else." Trelawney shook his head and said.

Linda, who was sitting next to her, spoke at this time:
"Then respect those fools who bought your stock."

"Hahaha, yes, respect those big fools!"

Trelawny clinked the wine glass in his hand with Asia's wine glass, then saluted Linda who also raised the water glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Arthur, who also drank all the wine in his glass, put down his glass and said to Trelawney:

"One week later today, Trelawney is remembered."

……

After not staying long, Arthur got the addresses of the two brothers and prepared to go back to the hotel to meet Charlie before setting off for a visit.

On the way, Linda asked curiously:
"Arthur, you can't be so naive, can you?"

"...What do you mean?" Arthur wasn't sure what Linda said was what she thought.

"Those two brothers, you know they can't run away, right? They absolutely can't run away, and they will definitely tell Trelawney."

"..."

Well, what Linda said was what Arthur thought. After all, Linda was sitting inside just now and listened to what Arthur said.

"I promised Trelawney."

"Kill the people who deserve to be killed, Arthur. Apart from these words, I didn't hear you promise anything."

Arthur did not answer, and Linda seemed not to be prepared to hear any answer from Arthur. She continued:
"Mr Trelawney's worries are certainly not unfounded, and if they are really smart enough, as Mr Trelawney says, then they should know that the only way for them to do this deception Maintaining it for a long time is the best situation for them.”

Well, anyway, it's not in Arthur's interest to keep the deception going for as long as possible.
