A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 369 A visit without an appointment

"Brother, something is really wrong. I heard news that a large amount of money is short-selling us unscrupulously."

"Finn, I know, but there's nothing we can do, right?"

Listening to James' words, Finn paced back and forth anxiously.

"Stop it. When we promised Trelawney, didn't we already prepare for the worst?" Compared to Finn's anxiety, James seemed very calm.

This scam is much bigger than the two brothers imagined. The two brothers have never seen so many powerful and wealthy people in their lives, let alone becoming their guests. Such a life is really like a dream. Illusive.

Although, brilliant and short-lived, it will be its long-destined ending.

"Wake up, James! This is much worse than the worst-case preparation we had ever made! Could it be that you knew about this scam at the beginning, and it ended up being as big as it is today?" It's not that Finn is not unreasonable. They knew that this scam would eventually fall apart. It was not a very complicated scam, but it was something that none of them expected that it would turn into the situation it is today.

Originally I only planned to swindle a few thousand dollars, but even if I was caught in the end, I would have gotten the money anyway, and at most I would have been imprisoned for a few years. What now?
After being exposed, their ending will definitely be tragic!

"Then what do you want to do? What can you do? If you think about it, we can at least leave enough money for our family for them to have enough food and clothing for a few lifetimes. They are not in the United States. Even if something happens to us, they will have everything they should enjoy in this life. We've already enjoyed our stuff, so be content, Finn."

"No, I don't, I don't accept it, I'm going to find Terry...!"

The voice stopped abruptly.

"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

The two brothers looked towards the door.

"Gentlemen, we have a visitor."

After hearing the butler's voice, Finn spoke first and asked:
"What kind of guest is it? I remember that there is no appointment for a guest to visit today."

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment, gentlemen!!"

Apparently the visiting guests didn't have the patience to wait for the butler's announcement, so they barged in directly.

The door was pushed open, and about ten men in uniforms and black wide-brimmed hats pushed past the housekeeper and poured into the room.

The leading man took off his gloves, took out a document from his arms, showed it to the two brothers and said:

"Jens Dixon, Finn Dixon, please come with us."

……

On the other side, Arthur had just returned to the hotel. He hadn't seen Charlie come back yet, but he met Lonnie who came to see him.

"Arthur, I brought you a message."

"So is it good news?" Arthur asked, frowning.

In recent times, Arthur has not heard much good news. All the news is either trouble or trouble.

"Well, guess whether it's good news or bad news. Let me give you a hint. This is something I helped you with on my last trip home."

"You tell me, what's the point of selling it!" Linda urged from the side.

Looking at his beloved sister like this, Lonnie sighed helplessly and said:

"Sure enough, my sister is someone else's in the end. It's so sad. Okay, okay, stop glaring at me. Leviticus Cornwall has already bought a large amount of stocks in those two companies and is preparing to go long. .”

what?
Arthur frowned and asked:

"Wait a minute, what do you mean you helped me get this done?"

"Eh? Didn't you ask my sister to ask me to use the name of the Vincent family to help you cheat Cornwall??"

The two people glanced at each other and then turned their attention to Linda who looked like nothing was wrong.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Linda admitted until she was a little embarrassed by the look:

"Okay, okay, don't look at it. That's what I mean. Arthur didn't ask you to."

Before Arthur could speak, Lonnie shouted:
"Does that mean that what you promised me doesn't exist?" "Yes, I lied to you, but you can still get my thanks, dear brother." Linda showed her face to Lonnie hypocritically. A bright, but fleeting smile.

Arthur opened his mouth and wanted to ask what kind of thing he had promised Lonnie. If it was not too much, Arthur was still willing to help Lonnie do it.

Although this matter is indeed not something he asked Lonnie to do, it can really make Arthur trick Cornwall into a big trap.

Arthur was very happy to see this.

"Okay, the news is over, you can get out of here, Lonnie."

I have to say that Linda's face-changing speed is really beyond Arthur's imagination.

One moment he was 'dear brother', and the next moment he was calling him by his first name and telling him to get out. This is really a confusing relationship between brother and sister.

Lonnie looked like he was used to his sister's behavior, and said with a wry smile:

"Don't rush me. I also have other things to do. The last news is that my father requires you to go back to see him. I brought him the message anyway. It's your business to listen or not. Then, by the way, I'd like to remind you one more thing. , I told Dad you were back in New York."

"Long——! Ni——!"

"Arthur, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, Lonnie left here quickly.

Linda was actually not as angry as she showed. After Lonnie ran away, she put away her threatening expression.

"I take it you were planning to go back to see your father?"

"Bingo, smart guess, Arthur."

Linda smiled and continued: "Don't you still have a lot of money left?"

"...Linda."

"Don't be too grateful to me. You have to go back with me."

I don’t know why, but Linda’s expression seemed a little shy at the end. After all, this is also a meeting with parents?

Arthur, who seemed not to realize this, nodded stupidly and said:
"Don't worry, I will accompany you back to see Mr. Vincent. I will personally convince him about this matter."

"???"

Forgive Linda for thinking too much about Arthur's words of 'I will convince him personally'. In her opinion, it is not the matter of borrowing money that Arthur wants to convince her father personally.

But in fact, all Arthur really wanted to do was borrow money.

"Originally, I only considered visiting Mr. Vincent as a last resort. However, until now, I haven't gotten back even a cent of my money. No one else should be able to point it out in a short period of time, but The exchange needs the support of large amounts of funds at all times.”

After hearing what Arthur said, Linda quickly realized that she was overthinking it. This damn bastard had no intention of going home with her to convince her father to marry her.

"Hmph! Just live with your money!"

After finishing speaking, Linda said angrily that she would not go out with Arthur today, and she would go back to her room to sleep.

Looking at Linda who left without looking back, Arthur showed a sly and helpless smile.

Of course he didn't know why Linda reacted that way just now.

Linda was a very special girl, very special really, Arthur could even say that, he never thought he would meet a girl like Linda.

She never said she wanted him to drop everything and leave her, but chose to drop everything and enter his life without hesitation.

Sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby, Arthur couldn't help but recall the day he met Linda for the first time, the girl who challenged him to fight for drinks in the pub, the girl who wanted to strangle him to death after waking up in the room, the finger-pointed girl The girl who looked at the bison skull in the tavern and exclaimed...

"Arthur Morgan, you have really lived your life in vain, and you are being fooled by a woman again."
