A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 402: Ask him to come back on time

Kernan Lucas, the new chairman of the investigative committee, personally made an appointment with Hosea, Arthur's agent in Saint Denis, after receiving Arthur's inability to reply on time.

"Is that right Mr. Matthews?"

Lucas sat behind his desk and looked at a document in his hand.

"Yes, I thought that the mysterious Mr. Lucas actually made an appointment with me, so after thinking about it again and again, I came in person. However, next time, if Mr. Lucas wants to see me for something, please make an appointment. Then I will come to visit you personally." Hosea said calmly.

"sit?"

"There's no need to sit down. Let's keep the story short. I still have a lot of work waiting for me. I think Mr. Lucas also has other official duties to deal with, right?"

Hosea really did what Arthur said, and the longer he stayed in this position, the meaner he became.

If it had been in the past, Hosea would have definitely flirted with Lucas, saying a few polite words, but would not have spoken to Lucas in such a direct way.

"Mr. Matthews is a quick talker. If I hadn't known that you were wanted in several other states, I would have thought you were a diligent businessman." Lucas said tit for tat.

However, such words will not scare Hosea. You must know that no matter what he is wanted for in other states, in Lemoyne and Saint-Denis, even the mayor and the police chief have to address him as Ma. Mr. Hughes.

"Mr. Lucas, do you have any other advice? Or are you asking me for anything meaningful other than the usual wanted warrant?"

"Mr. Matthews, don't be so forceful, and there is no need to be so hostile to me. I am not coming to Saint Denis for you this time. You know, my goal is only Arthur Morgan." Lucas said.

After hearing this, Hosea just showed an official smile and said:
"I thought this so-called investigative committee didn't know that its goal was to find the prisoner who killed the French noblewoman?"

Lucas watched Hosea take out the cigarette case naturally, then smiled and pushed the ashtray on the side in front of him, and then said:
"That's just a statement to the outside world. The target of this investigation committee has always been Arthur Morgan, and only Arthur Morgan. So, you can explain to me why our Mr. Morgan cannot attend the meeting specifically for him. Prepared for the hearing?”

"Of course, but before that, I'm curious what Mr. Lucas did before this?"

Lucas did not hide this question from Hosea. He smiled and said:

"Have you searched for a long time and still don't know who this Kernan Lucas is?"

"..."

Hosea just waited for what he was going to do next.

Lucas did not sell out, he continued:
"Then let me introduce myself. I, Kernan Lucas, am just a small district attorney with no reputation. It's just that I seem to have a lot of skills in doing things, so I left this drudgery to him. I, of course, have no grievances against you, so there is no personal emotion in this. I have to be honest. After reading your files, I still admire what you have achieved today. , especially for Mr. Morgan, so why can’t Mr. Morgan attend?”

To be honest, Lucas's attitude made Hosea somewhat puzzled.You can say that he is frank, he is indeed very frank, he has no intention of concealing his identity or the purpose of his trip, but you have to say that he is really completely different from the approachable attitude he has shown. The appearance was the same, and Hosea could see in him the unique ability of a capable person.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Lucas, Arthur is not in Saint Denis. The hearing was originally scheduled for a week later, but you moved it forward temporarily. This is why."

"Isn't it really because of Mr. Morgan? He hasn't found the secret witness we prepared yet, so he is stalling for time?"

"..."

Hosea really didn't expect that Lucas would even say this directly.

"Are you shocked? No need to. I already had a certain understanding of your power in Saint Denis before I came here. I guess someone should be working hard to visit our investigative committee now, right?" Lucas said with a smile.

"Mr. Lucas." Hosea put out the cigarette butt in his hand, and then said seriously:

"If you want to tell me what kind of person you are, then, Mr. Lucas, I understand. If you have any other ideas, you can tell me honestly?"

Lucas nodded, threw the thick stack of documents in front of Hosea, and said:

"The Van der Linde Gang, you, Hosea Matthews, Arthur Morgan, Dutch Van der Linde, you have committed many, in my opinion, heinous crimes over the last ten years, so to speak, today You who are still at large are the greatest blasphemy against American law. This time my mission is only Arthur Morgan, but in the end, I will catch all of you, do you understand?"

"Haha." Hosea laughed, nodded and said:
"I think I seem to understand what kind of man Mr. Lucas is."

"Oh? You might as well tell me. I'm quite curious. I wonder what kind of person I am in Mr. Matthews' eyes?" Lucas said with his hands crossed and his chin supported.

"The defender of the law and the supporter of civilization. Mr. Lucas, with the advent of the twentieth century, I have seen too many hypocritical people like you. Do you read the "Lemoyne State Journal"? If you still If you haven’t had time to read it, then I suggest you buy a copy and take a good look at what the upper echelons of law and civilization you support are like.” Hosea said sarcastically.

"Of course, of course." Lucas spread his hands, leaned back on the chair, and said calmly:

"The law is sacred and inviolable, but there is a higher authority above the law, and that is justice. A person like you who thinks you have moral courage, to a certain extent I would call it admirable, but I I hope that you can see some respect for the law from you. I have indeed read the report of the "Lemoyne State Journal", and I can say that there is no single issue. If the contents of the newspaper are true, Then these Republicans really deserve to die."

At this point, Lucas changed the subject and continued:

"But, what does this have to do with you being criminals? The law treats everyone equally. It's just a matter of whether your retribution or theirs comes sooner or later."

"Haha, is justice delayed also justice?"

"That's right, justice may be delayed but arrived. I am your judge, so consider this as my greeting to you, and then tell Arthur Morgan for me that the date of the hearing will not be changed because he is not in St. Dennis changed the date and asked him to come back on time."
