A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 449 Prohibition takes effect
After Arthur expressed a few words of concern, he brought the topic back. After all, today's round was organized for Sean's sake.

"Gentlemen, let me say a few more words."

Everyone fell silent when they heard Arthur speak.

"As you can see, I really have no intention of participating in this plan, but as you know, my vision is still trustworthy. I can definitely say that I am optimistic about Sean's plan. First of all, wine, it It’s a necessity in everyone’s life, right?”

"Correct."

"Yes."

Seeing everyone nodding, Arthur smiled and said:

“Especially this thing, others don’t have it, but we have it.”

"Yes, Mr. Morgan, I would hazard a guess that they will also ban smoking next."

"Hey, listen to me, who doesn't want a drink when a guy is on vacation? So they're going to pay big bucks."

Arthur gave them a positive smile one by one, and then continued:

"That's right, I think these principles obviously don't need me to explain to you."

"But." Congressman George, the only one present who had a different opinion, saw that no one else seemed to have objections except himself, so he interrupted the others loudly again and said:
"Gentlemen, I admit that you are all right, but have you considered the bill, what about the prohibition bill?"

Sean realized that the only person he had to convince right now was Congressman George. He smiled and said:

"Hey, Congressman George, although Director Rudy was absent due to illness, we all know that in Saint Denis, he is the law? I don't think Director Rudy will refuse?"

"Don't be too optimistic, gentlemen. I won't say whether Rudy's successor will be the same as before. The federation, those federal prohibition agents..."

Before George finished speaking, Arthur gently raised his hand and interrupted him.

"George, I understand your concerns. To this, I want to say that you have my guarantee that those federal prohibition agents will not come to trouble us."

"...Of course" George finally stopped objecting after Arthur made such a statement. After all, Arthur Morgan's guarantee has its own weight today.

Seeing that everyone was taken care of, Arthur was not going to stay here any longer. He left Sean to handle the details himself. He was going to have a good chat with his youngest son who had not been home for a long time.

……

"I heard that you treated them badly?"

"Yes, of course." Geraint's answer didn't seem very enthusiastic.

After all, most of tonight's chat will end up here, while Geraint is dealing with it a little numbly.

"Mr. Morgan."

"Mr. Morgan."

Several young people saw Arthur coming and greeted him politely.

"Okay, boys, I believe Geraint has fought to protect democracy and freedom in the world. Now I need to take him away so that he can fulfill his duty as a son." Arthur finished with a smile. , he took Geraint out of here and found an empty room with no one at random.

"Your mother misses you so much, Geraint."

"She's in New York?" Geraint asked as he took the cigarette Arthur handed him.

Arthur nodded.

"Your grandpa is not in good health. Your brother went back with your mother."

"I'm sorry... I didn't listen to you."

Geraint just felt sorry, but did not regret his choice.Arthur shook his head and said:
"As long as you don't regret it, no matter what we say or what we think, it's just to give you a reference. When our family is at this stage, it's up to you to do whatever you want. Your mother and I don't really care. , stopping you and not letting you go, more because they are afraid that you will die on the battlefield."

"I'm not living well... Besides, there are Betsy and Hans..." As he spoke, Geraint looked at Arthur's increasingly serious expression, and finally closed his mouth.

"...9!"

"8!"

"7!"

The sound of everyone on the first floor counting down came over.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

“Prohibition is in effect!”

Following this shout, there was the sound of the crowd reveling, not only in the hotel, but also on the streets outside, there were people cheering.

"Are they happy that Prohibition is taking effect?" Geraint asked in confusion.

Arthur smiled and shook his head and said:
"No, although I didn't see it, I believe they are popping champagne and changing glasses. Their happiness is simply because of alcohol. The countdown to the ban on alcohol, the final indulgence? These are just excuses. When they wake up tomorrow, they're still going to drink and they're going to seek the comfort of alcohol."

Fortunately, Arthur didn't want to teach his young son, so he stopped here.

"Okay, after talking about a lot of other things, Geraint, tell me, have you seen your wife since you came back?"

"...we're not married."

"Ah, I just realized that you actually know that you two are not married yet? I don't know who ignored it and insisted on joining the army before the wedding!" Arthur said complainingly.

"dad……"

"It seems that there is no more. Damn it, Geraint, if one day my grandson calls someone daddy, I really won't be surprised at all!"

"?"

Seeing Geraint's surprised expression, Arthur said with disgust:

"Yes, you have a son. Don't you have any idea whether you want to do it or not?"

"……just one time."

"Okay, stop it, Geraint. Although Linda always says that my education for you is a failure, I always retort that you are just more like me when I was young. Now it seems that you are more or less... It's a bit too much, listen, kids, home and family, these are the most important things, I'll let Armand send you back..."

"Ammand?" Geraint remembered clearly that Arthur's previous driver was not Armand.

And the reason why he had such a big reaction was because the driver was so important. It was related to Arthur's safety, Armand?I have never heard of a person whose name is there, so where is the previous driver?
"Don't think too much, Enzo is sick, resigned and went back to his hometown."

"Dad?" Geraint didn't believe this statement. Enzo had worked for their family for almost ten years. The whole family had moved to Saint-Denis a long time ago. Even if he was really sick, he would not be able to return. Went to my hometown.

"With a big family and a big business, there will always be some small accidents. Geraint, instead of worrying about me, you might as well think about how to coax your wife after you go back."

Seeing that Arthur didn't want to say more, Geraint finally didn't ask any more questions.

"...Dad, I'm not good at this."

"Hmph, I want to see my grandson at home tomorrow, and I don't care about the rest."
