A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 448 Harmony

Geraint didn't want to mention anything about the battlefield.

But it was John's son Jack who asked the question.

Looking at this person, he is still the same as in the past. He is dressed up like a western cowboy. He has been like Geraint's big brother since he was a child.

He knew that Jack didn't mean any harm by asking this question, it was just out of curiosity.

"Oh, Jack, those were hellish days. There was neither the comfort of life in the West nor the comfort of life in Saint Denis. Even wine was a luxury."

"Wow, then..."

"Ding ding ding."

"Guys, guys."

Sean interrupted the young man's conversation by ringing his glass.

After successfully attracting everyone's attention.

Sean cleared his throat. Although the years have left traces on his face, people who are familiar with him can still see a bit of his frivolity and cynicism from above.

"Thank you for your attendance. To be honest, today is not a special day. My brat has not done anything worthy of everyone's celebration, so I don't know what to say. .”

Everyone around was amused by the confusion that Shen Xien showed when he spoke.

"Hahaha, Sean, be careful Karen will deal with you later."

"Hey, why are you asking me to deal with him, John! Look, I won't let Abigail deal with you." Karen laughed and scolded.

Considering today's occasion, it was natural for Sean to stand in the middle instead of Arthur as the speaker. Arthur just cheered from the side:

"Say something nice, and you can talk about the rest when you go home."

"Hey, okay, I'm thinking about something nice to say, ahem, why don't we just eat and drink?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

In the end, no one made it difficult for Sean. After all, asking me to praise my son was somewhat difficult for men like them who grew up in the west no matter how they lived.

"Arthur, it's arranged."

Charlie, who was sent to do things by Arthur before, is back.

Charlie can't see much change. Of course he is old, but he is still very capable. He is wearing a well-fitting suit and a black sweater with a half-collar. Standing beside Arthur, his gray hair looks like a Much younger than Arthur.

"Sean." Arthur waved to Sean.

"What's wrong Arthur?"

"Come on, I'll take you upstairs to meet a few people."

After hearing this, Sean knew that Arthur probably wanted to introduce some necessary people for what he planned to do.

Although Arthur firmly refused to get involved, he was willing to help Sean clear some obstacles.

Following Charlie to the private room upstairs, he opened the door and saw a long dining table filled with exquisite dishes and various drinks, filled with men in suits and ties.

The noise in the room stopped abruptly when they saw who was coming in.

"Gentlemen, I'm interrupting your meal."

"Mr. Morgan, where are you?" "That's right."

Arthur smiled and glanced at Charlie who had closed the door and brought Arthur a glass of champagne, then took the glass, smiled and said to the people present:
"Guys, Governor Messier, Mayor Baird, friends, and everyone on the City Council, as you all know, based on the bill passed by those guys in Congress, in almost three hours, comprehensive restrictions will be implemented. Alcohol is banned."

At this point, everyone made a sound of regret. Arthur chuckled, raised the wine glass in his hand, and continued:

"First let's toast these ignorant bastards."

Everyone booed one after another, raised their wine glasses in approval, then clinked glasses with the people around them, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Although it took some time for Baird to go from the governor's secretary to the current mayor of St. Denis, Arthur promised that the next governor would support him in his campaign. Now that he had been greeted, he was the first to speak:
"I don't care how other places implement it, but I can assure you that in Saint-Denis, don't worry about the drinks, I will definitely not care, hahaha."

Our former mayor of Saint-Denis, Jean-Marc Mercier, now governor of Lemoyne, put it more tactfully.

"Real estate development has given me a severe headache, and I can't distract myself from other things."

As for other city council members, they all condemned Congress for actually passing this ridiculous bill.

Sean, after Arthur's introduction, stood up and said:

"Gentlemen, the Prohibition Bill has just been passed. This is our opportunity, and now the opportunity is at hand..."

A congressman raised a finger and interrupted:
"Mr. McGuire, everyone here is very convinced of Mr. Morgan, but as you can see, Mr. Morgan was not involved in this matter, so I will not act until I actually see the opportunity. "

In this regard, Arthur said in a timely manner:
"Mr. Congressman George, I am old and money is enough for me, so please don't take me into consideration in this matter."

Several other congressmen also called George in a reproachful tone, as if to express their dissatisfaction with his statement.

Sean said with certainty:
"Everything will remain as usual, gentlemen, Congressman George, your worries are completely unnecessary."

After a short pause, Sean continued:

"Except for the price of alcohol going up at least twenty-fold, nothing is going to change."

George remained skeptical.

"Forgive me, I just can't imagine what kind of idiot would spend twenty dollars to buy wine that was originally worth 15 cents."

"You." Another congressman sitting next to George said with a smile:

"George, of course it's you idiot. Don't forget, you are a man who is willing to spend 12 dollars to find a worthless girl, hahaha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone laughed.

"Put it down, Marco, you are clearly talking about yourself, haha." George replied with a smile.

Marco throws up his hands with a funny look on his face.

"Of course not me."

Thanks to Arthur's hard work over the years, everyone's atmosphere is very harmonious. After all, everyone's pockets are filled by Arthur. If there is no conflict of interest, there will be no contradiction. Everyone has been taught what it means to be harmonious and make money. .

"Speaking of which, why don't I see Director Rudy here?" Arthur asked.

Baird withdrew the smile on his face and replied:
"Mr. Morgan, Director Rudy is hospitalized. His health is not very good. I'm afraid he will no longer be able to serve as director after this term."
