A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 393 Not Enough

"How is that possible, Mr. Morgan, don't think of us like fools, we are not that naive. The previous explanation is just a foundation for what I am going to say next, whether you believe it or not, Mr. Morgan , we are indeed very sorry about this matter."

Arthur just listened to Harper's words. Even though his expression looked very sincere and his words were full of sincerity and frankness, so far, Arthur still I didn't believe a word he said.

As for these nonsense, if Arthur wanted to, he could say it more nicely than Harper. It is meaningless and a waste of time.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Harper, I have completely believed you now, and you are all very sorry about this matter, so is it time to say something other than sorry?"

"Of course, regarding the money you deposited in our bank and the money that was transferred, we now have a proposal to solve it, but we don't know yet whether you can accept it."

"Tell me about it," Arthur said.

Harper sat up straight and said seriously:
"We are willing to pay you the full amount for the time being."

"but?"

There is always a but for this kind of thing.

"Yes, there are indeed buts. However, this money is only temporarily loaned to you by us. We know that you are operating the stock market when you need money."

Hearing what Harper said was this proposal, Arthur smiled and asked:
"Since you know that I am operating the stock market, then you know that stocks are risky. Aren't you worried that I won't be able to pay?"

"So you still need to sign a priority repayment agreement with us." Harper said naturally.

What is priority repayment? It is not difficult to understand just from the literal meaning. You must know that Arthur still owns a lot of land and physical properties that can be used to pay off debts, although most of them have been transferred to Arthur. Rouse mortgaged it all.

"Let me confirm again, that is to say, your solution is to lend me a sum of money that I need to repay as compensation for losing the money I deposited in your bank?" Arthur said.

Harper nodded and said affirmatively:

"Yes. Of course, I need to emphasize that your money was not lost by us. Regarding this part, I can also tell you who stole it from you. If you are willing to reach a settlement with us, And promise not to cause trouble to us again.”

"Hehe" Arthur continued with a smile:

"What's so hesitant about this? Isn't it the fault of Joseph Bonaparte?"

"?"

As if he didn't expect Arthur to know it, Harper looked a little surprised.

Arthur smiled and shook his head.

"Look, I understand your thoughts very well. After all, in your opinion, you just followed the procedures normally and cooperated with Joseph to transfer my money. You didn't take the money, and you didn't get any other benefits. , now, you are afraid that I will cause trouble for you, and that you will end up like Foreman and Maranzano. After all, I am a western barbarian, right? I always have some ways to scare you, now you think about it A good idea is to lend me a sum of money that I wouldn't otherwise be short of at this time. In this way, it makes up for your fault, right? Did I understand you correctly? That's what you are doing Thought."

Arthur took out the cigarette case and tapped the bottom of the cigarette case so that the tobacco inside could be tighter and not fall out from the front.

"Is there a fire?" Arthur asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

After Harper lit the match and handed it to Arthur, Arthur took a few puffs and lit the cigarette.

"I admit that you are very smart. This is a good statement. At least I would like to call it a good beginning to resolve misunderstandings." Listening to Arthur's intention to accept their proposal, Harper agreed with a smile. :
"After all, as I said, we value credibility very much, and we are indeed at fault in this matter."

"Don't rush to create such a harmonious atmosphere. I accept your solution, but it is not enough, not enough, and far from enough."

Arthur's last three words of "not enough" were progressively repeated, until the last "not enough", Harper, who was sitting opposite him, didn't know why, but he always seemed to feel that the person sitting opposite him was not a person, but a person. Like a hungry beast, preparing to prey on it.

After a sudden chill, Harper forced a smile and asked:
"So, I don't know, Mr. Morgan, how do you want to solve it? In any case, Mr. Morgan, please believe that we have the sincerity to solve this problem."

……

When Arthur left the Western restaurant, Carmen outside looked at Arthur with a completely different expression than before he entered. He asked:
"Boss, did this conversation go smoothly?"

Arthur smiled and asked:
"Does it seem so obvious?"

"Of course, if it was going to be rainy today before you went in, then now it's going to be a sunny day with lots of sunshine."

Listening to Carmen's somewhat abstract metaphor, Arthur shook his head and said:
"If I have to use your metaphor, I feel like I am more like the sunshine before the storm."

"What do you mean? Boss, do you need me to help you make thunder?"

"Hahahaha. Stop joking, let's go and see if there is any news about the two brothers from Aemon."

Soon, Arthur and Carmen came to the temporary camp set up by Eamon and the Blackwater River Company employees he brought with him in an idle factory.

"Hey, Eamonn, long time no see." As soon as Carmen entered the door, she greeted Eamonn who was gesturing on the table.

"Ah, Carmen, boss, you are here. Just in time, we got some news."

"Is this news about the Dixon brothers?" Arthur asked.

Aemon nodded and said:

"We went door to door pretending to be police officers and asked, and based on the descriptions of the witnesses who last saw the group, we roughly determined a location where they might be hiding."

With that said, Aemon brought Arthur to the table and circled a location on the map.

"This is it, we are about to go and have a look."

"Have you checked at the city hall to see who owns this property?" Arthur asked, pointing to a spot on the map.

After all, Arthur prefers to do a thorough investigation before taking action, rather than simply coming to the door to investigate.

"Not yet, I'll ask someone to go there."

"Go."
