A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 456 Deep down
In the casino, Thompson looked like he had not woken up and hurriedly walked in accompanied by the casino manager.

At this time, the manager was still whispering something in Thompson's ear in a low voice.

"I don't want to say anything more, but this Rothstein is a con man. To be honest, if it wasn't for his identity, I would have killed him a long time ago."

Thompson took off his coat to the person beside him and replied:

"His status is indeed special."

"So I called you."

After hearing what the manager said, Thompson went straight to Rothstein and Luciano, who were sitting at the gambling table and drinking coffee and taking a break not far away. He spread his hands and said in disgust:

"Gentlemen, aren't you all sleepy?"

Rothstein looked at Thompson with a smile and asked jokingly:
"Winning money feels so good, how can I feel sleepy?"

Only then did Thompson notice that in addition to Luciano and Rothstein, there was also a gloomy-looking Capone, Sean's followers, and...

"Jimmy? Why are you here?"

His 'follower' was also here, which really surprised Thompson.

"Nucky, it's break time."

Hearing Jimmy's name to Thompson, Geraint was keenly aware that Jimmy seemed to have an unusual relationship with Thompson.

Thompson had no time or mood to take care of Jimmy now. He was woken up by the housekeeper early in the morning and said that someone had won a lot of money in his casino and he had to deal with this problem first.

"Haha, I heard you are very lucky? Mr. Rothstein."

"This has nothing to do with luck." Luciano said provocatively.

On the side, Rothstein promptly explained:

"What he means is that I'm good at cards."

Thompson suppressed his anger, showed a smile and said:
"Obviously, that's what I understand."

"So?" Rothstein pretended to be dissatisfied and confused.

"Why don't you let me continue playing?"

"Haha, it's not that I won't let you continue playing. It's just that, you know, we are just a small business. You are playing too much, and we can't bear it anymore."

Similarly, Thompson still did not choose to break the relationship, and still retained a trace of their respective decency.

However, Rothstein had no intention of giving up at the first sight, so he continued to say meaningfully:

"Is that so? In my opinion, your store is very powerful."

Suddenly, Thompson felt that this conversation was a little unconscious. He didn't want to continue playing Tai Chi with Rothstein, so he said in a calm tone:

"Then it seems you don't know enough about us."

"I don't like hearing this." Luciano challenged again.

Time and time again, Thompson gave Rothstein face, but this did not mean that he would give face to young Luciano, who only had a net worth of several hundred thousand.

Thompson glanced at Luciano with disgust, and then said in a mocking tone:
"Perhaps, while the adults are talking here, you should stay somewhere to cool down."

"What did you say?!" Luciano suddenly stood up from his position. He glared at Thompson. Jimmy on the side saw this and subconsciously stood in front of Luciano. He stretched one hand to his waist and pointed a finger. With Luciano, the meaning is self-evident.

Thompson looked calmly at Luciano, who had been simmering with anger since he was in the hotel room. It was a look that looked at a little person.

On the side, Capone and Geraint watched the excitement. After all, for them, on the one hand, their positions made them unsuitable to intervene. On the other hand, they were happy to watch this interesting conflict from their first-class seats.

"Sit down, Charlie. Charlie? Charlie."

Finally, under Rothstein's strong pull, Luciano reluctantly sat down again.

However, Jimmy also retreated at Thompson's signal.When Thompson looked away from Luciano and looked at himself, Rothstein said in a longer voice:

"So far, Mr. Thompson, your casino owes me US$[-]. After deducting the payment of US$[-], there is still US$[-] left..."

Luciano glanced at Rothstein, then stared at Thompson and said provocatively:

"Rothstein, you can continue to play."

"Haha." Rothstein smiled, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, the master doesn't welcome it, so it doesn't make sense for me to continue playing."

Even though Thompson was angry, he knew that Rothstein was retaliating for his behavior of opening his mouth at the wine table.

After all, with [-] boxes of wine and a price of [-] US dollars, he was completely ripping Rothstein off as a cheat.

Thompson originally didn't expect the price to be so high, but to do Johnny in Chicago a favor, Johnny approached Thompson and tried to use this method to make his boss, "Big Jim" realize the huge profits of bootlegging, so that he would no longer refuse bootlegging. Liquor business, and Thompson can also expand his business scope...

Now that Rothstein had returned in this way, Thompson could only admit it, so he didn't say anything more. He just turned around and left, and at the same time told the manager:

"Pay them the settlement."

After watching the excitement, Jimmy was also taken away by Thompson. Geraint was about to leave with Capone, but as soon as they got up, they were stopped.

"Are you ready to leave now? I remember you are Johnny's horse boy, right? How are you going to give me the money you owe me?" Rothstein looked at the small book in his hand and continued:

"The total is sixteen thousand dollars."

"..." Capone's face looked ugly. He knew very well what would happen if he owed Rothstein money, so subconsciously, he looked at his new rich friend.

When Geraint saw the look in Capone's eyes, he still didn't understand. This guy was preparing to let him help.

"Capone, I lent you all the money I had last night."

"I know, it's okay." Capone told Geraint not to worry and said to Rothstein:

"Give me two days and I will pay you back the money I owe you."

"Oh, why? What if you run away?" Luciano said seriously.

Obviously Luciano doesn't intend to give Capone any time. For people who not only lost all their own money in the casino, but also lost all the money borrowed from others, and then owed gambling debts, giving them grace time is just a matter of time. A meaningless thing.

Luciano, who often collects debts, knows that if Capone talks nice now, he will be in trouble when he runs away and can't find anyone.

"Then what do you want? I have lost everything now and have no money."

"You are quite bold..."

"Charlie." Rothstein interrupted Luciano. He looked at Geraint and then said:

"I remember you came with that supplier, but you seem to be more than just Ma Zi, right?"

Geraint didn't know why. Although Rothstein seemed to have always maintained a gentleman's polite appearance and behavior, he just felt that Rothstein was the kind of person with evil intentions.

"I am responsible for the goods you arrive today."

"Haha." Listening to Geraint's unfriendly tone, Rothstein said with a smile:

"Well, I think you are friends. I can give it to you in two days, but you have to give me an IOU first, this one?"

"Geraint Morgan."

"Well, this Mr. Morgan must be your guarantor. Is there any problem?"

Capone was a little hesitant. Although Geraint seemed to be a good person, he was not sure that Geraint would agree to such a guarantee.
