A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 455 Who cares what I think?

Inside a casino owned by Thompson.

After seeing off Sean, Geraint came here to find two friends he just met today.

"Hey, this is Geraint."

After Capone called Geraint over, he smiled and said:

"Damn, I'm so lucky tonight, why don't you play a few games too?"

"No, what do you want to drink? I'm treating you." Geraint rejected Capone's invitation to gamble. The reason why he came was just because he heard that Jimmy and Capone were gamblers like him during the previous chat. Soldiers, and the reason why we had a good conversation.

As for gambling, when Geraint was still young, Arthur took him, Betsy and Hans to his family's casino, and then each of them threw a basket of chips to them. And tell them that they can play with the money as they please, and whatever is left when they leave will be their pocket money for the whole year.

The result is still very painful when I think about it. Aunt Vera, who acted as croupier and banker for them, really taught these little brats a hard lesson.

At first, the siblings were very wary, and even after counting the chips, they discussed not playing any of them. By the time they left, they would have a large amount of pocket money.

At that time, Geraint couldn't help his curiosity and played a game. As a result, the one hundred chips instantly turned into six hundred. This suddenly stimulated their young minds. The three of them started to use their small to make a big difference. They won several games in succession, and in the process, their bets became higher and higher...

The final result was, of course, a clean loss.

Then, even if Arthur didn't give them pocket money, he actually charged them for food even when they ate at home. In the end, they were forced to work selling newspapers. Even now, Geraint feels miserable when he thinks about it. In the end, they In addition to being a pauper for a year, they also swore that they would never gamble again until death.

When Geraint came back with the wine, he saw that Capone was still smiling happily, while Jimmy on the side cursed and threw away the cards in his hand, as if he had lost all.

"Jimmy, your wine."

"Thank you." After taking the wine glass, Jimmy went to sit on the sofa and smoked.

At this time, Geraint noticed that the two gamblers not far away seemed to have been seen in the private room with Sean before, so he patted Capone and asked:
"Those two people over there..."

"That's Rothstein and Luciano." Capone glanced at the direction Geraint was pointing and said.

"So they are wealthy businessmen?"

"Huh?" Capone said with a smile after putting up the chips:

"That's right. Rothstein is worth at least 1000 million. As for Luciano, who is following Rothstein, he is worth at least 50?"

Speaking of this, Capone saw that there was neither surprise nor envy on Geraint's face, and thought he didn't believe what he said, so he continued to add:

"It's true, it's common knowledge on the boulevard."

Geraint nodded, but he was somewhat unconcerned. After all, his father, Arthur, was much richer than them.

"So they make money from gambling?"

"Oh, gambling, kidnapping, and he was a flour dealer. He spent six months in jail for this a few years ago."

Listening to Capone's familiar introduction, Geraint couldn't help asking curiously:
"It's only been six months and he bribed the judge?"

Obviously, Geraint is not the kind of naive person. Although he is willing to fight for the country, he will not blindly think that everything in this country is good and perfect.

"Yeah, thank our damn society," Capone said, throwing his cards on the table in frustration, losing this time.

"I don't think they are much older than us? How did they do it?"

"Absolutely, 22, 23? As for how they did it, haha, if I knew, would I still be just Johnny's little brother now?" Capone continued to lower his chips without belief.

Geraint thought for a while and felt that Capone was right, so he asked another question: "By the way, I heard that you are not going to get into the muddy waters of moonshining?"

This is what Sean told Geraint.

As for Geraint's question, Capone did not rush to answer. Instead, after he was sure that he had lost again, he said in a dissatisfied tone:

"Colosimo disagreed. He didn't want to hit the gun. Johnny brought him here this time. He wanted him to see the benefits of bootlegging and see how others made money, but obviously, the effect was not good? Colosimo feels that in the business we have now, the girl has already made a lot of money, haha."

Geraint could clearly hear that Capone seemed to have different ideas from his big boss, Colosimo.

"You don't agree with Colosimo?"

"Heh." Capone took the poker and blew lightly on his lips without looking at the cards in a hurry.

"I'm just Johnny's pony, who cares what I think?"

After hearing Capone's words, for some reason, Geraint suddenly had an unfounded suspicion that something might be going on with Colosimo's organization.

But this had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with Sean and their bootlegging business, so Geraint did not go any further on this topic, but said with a smile:

"It seems your luck is not as good as you said?"

"Go, let's go, after you came, my luck became worse."

……

"Hey, wake up, Geraint."

In the early morning, Geraint, who fell asleep on the sofa in the casino, was shaken awake by Jimmy.

"Um...are you leaving? What time is it now?" Geraint said drowsily.

Jimmy was also in low spirits.

"It's daybreak and Capone has lost all the money you lent him."

"..." Geraint was not surprised at all by this. Arthur had taught him this truth a long time ago, that is, nine out of ten bets would result in losses. It is not that easy to win money from the casino.

"If you lose everything, you lose everything. Let's go and find a place to eat. Where is Capone?"

"The table opposite."

Following the direction of Jimmy's finger, Geraint saw Capone, Rothstein and Luciano still at the card table.

"Don't you think he's lost?"

"Yeah, this is the last one. He borrowed some more from Rothstein." Jimmy said with some regret.

To be honest, the three of them were quite able to chat. They originally talked about playing a few games and going to a bar to have a drink together, but instead they ended up like this.

"Rothstein and Luciano are still betting, so they lost all night, right?" Geraint said with some excitement.

Jimmy shook his head.

"They've been winning all night."
