A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 458 Assassination and Struggle

At night, Geraint stood on the dock in Atlantic City, watching Thompson's men hurriedly move boxes of wine off the ship and onto trucks. He said to Jimmy beside him:

"Are you responsible for the transportation on this trip?"

Jimmy shook his head and said mockingly:

"I don't earn the freight. I just watch them unload and load the goods here to make sure there are no errors or omissions."

In other words, the supervisor?
"What about these people?" Geraint asked, looking at the people immersed in transporting the goods and the guards armed with weapons.

"Bonders, see that bald guy? That's Raleigh, and Nucky put them in charge of the delivery."

"Nucky?" Geraint asked like a curious baby without asking.

Jimmy didn't feel annoyed, but he didn't want to explain too much about his relationship with Thompson, so he simply said:

"That's what acquaintances call him."

"It's loaded. There should be no problem with the number. Jimmy, did Nucky tell you anything else? If not, we're going to set off." The bald man named Raleigh watched the last box of wine being put on the truck. , came to Jimmy and said.

"Nucky wants you to be careful. The person who robbed Rothstein last time hasn't been caught yet. Remember, follow the directions and don't stop on the road no matter what the situation is." Jimmy said.

Luo Li nodded, "Don't worry, even if someone is lying in the middle of the road, I will let the driver step on the accelerator and run him over."

After saying that, he took another look at Geraint who was standing next to Jimmy.

"Ah, by the way, you are the person in charge of the supplier, right?"

"What's matter?"

"You really can't drive the ship directly into the dock, do you have to drive the boat to move the goods at sea?" Obviously, Raleigh was worried that he would have to take a boat to move the goods to his own ship, and then transport them to the dock. , and then moved off the ship, and finally moved to the truck this matter is quite dissatisfied.

In response, Geraint just smiled and said:

"Isn't this the amount of money you earn?"

"Tch, damn capitalists." As he said that, Raleigh spat on the ground and walked towards the truck, ready to set off.

Geraint didn't argue too much with Raleigh. After all, he knew that Raleigh's transportation journey would not be very stable.

"Jimmy, do you want to make some extra money?"

"Ok?"

Jimmy wants to?Jimmy thought too much. He was different from a 'war hero' like Geraint. He retired from the battlefield because of a leg injury. Nowadays, there are not many guarantees for the treatment of retired veterans, and he also To support a wife and children.

Geraint looked at Jimmy and knew he was interested.

"Look, even if Mr. Thompson has delivered this batch of wine so far, right? The rest is Rothstein's own freight, right?"

"Are you planning to buy this batch of wine?" Jimmy reacted quickly.

Geraint shook his head.

"It's not me. My role is just a supplier. You should be the one who is interested in this batch of wine."

"What do you mean? Why can't I understand it well?" Jimmy was a little confused.

The truck has already driven out. Even if Jimmy is interested, he can't catch up now.

"You just need to tell Capone the route, and you will have a share of the deal." As he said that, Geraint took out a piece of paper with a phone number and placed it in front of him.

Jimmy looked at the note in Geraint's hand, and didn't rush to pick it up, but asked:
"What about you? Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?"

"I told you, I'm just a supplier."

Jamie looked at the smile on Geraint's face, and he finally took the note.

"Go and hurry up before you're too pressed for time."

……

The truck convoy was driving in the darkness, and the headlights in front of the vehicles illuminated the road ahead as usual. However, the road they took today was different from the past. The surrounding trees were denser and taller. They did not encounter any other vehicles along the way. .

Sudden.

"Fuck, Raleigh, look ahead."

A truck is lying in the middle of the road.

"What should I do? Stop the car?" the driver asked lightly tapping the brakes. "Stop, can you fly over if you don't stop?!" Raleigh cursed and tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.

Soon, as the first truck stopped, the two trucks behind also stopped, and their lights illuminated this section of the road.

Immediately afterwards, a group of hooded men rushed out of the woods on both sides of the road with guns raised.

"get off!"

"Oh! Don't get excited!"

In the end, Paulie chose to save his own life between saving the goods and saving his own life. He opened the car door, got out, and pointed the muzzle of the gun upward, holding the gun with one hand to indicate that he would not use it.

"Drop the guns!"

"Okay, okay, you guys, don't you..."

Before he finished speaking, Pauly just put down his gun and stood up. He was hit by bullets from the shotgun in the hands of the masked gangster and hit the car. Then he slowly collapsed in disbelief.

"Bang bang bang."

After a burst of intense gunfire, Raleigh and the others who were traveling with him were all dealt with neatly without exception.

"Go and move the truck. The others get in. Quick, let's go."

……

Chicago, a warehouse outside the Windy City.

The door was opened, and the trucks were driven in one after another. Capone jumped off the train, came to Johnny who was waiting here, and said with a smile:

"It's all done, Johnny."

"Good, let them get to work."

Johnny watched the boxes of wine being moved down by the workers waiting here, and then opened them one by one, poured them into huge iron containers, added water and coloring, stirred, and replenished the alcohol, then closed the filling and labeling again. , after this whole process, one bottle of wine was blended into at least four bottles...

"Frankie, did you see that? We can't miss this opportunity to pick up money." Johnny said to the tall, fierce-looking Frankie Yale beside him.

Frankie took out a cigarette, and Johnny took out a lighter and lit it for him.

Just listen to Frankie say:
"Capone, it seems like I haven't seen you since you left Brooklyn?"

"Frankie, nice to meet you," Capone greeted his former boss, somewhat reservedly.

Frankie smiled and said to Johnny:

"I'll take the deal, Johnny."

……

A few days later, Johnny looked at the pocket watch in his hand and waited in front of the phone. Capone stood nervously behind Johnny and kept smoking.

"It's almost time, Johnny."

Johnny closed his pocket watch and dialed the number of his boss, 'Big Jim'.

"Hey?"

"Hey, I'm Johnny. I have a few people here who want to meet you and discuss a business deal with you. Are you free?" Johnny said in an ordinary tone.

On the other side of the receiver, 'Big Jim' was silent for a moment, and then said impatiently:
"Okay, no problem, I'll be right over."

Hanging up the receiver, 'Big Jim' put on his coat, walked out of his office on the third floor and walked downstairs. This is his base camp. The second floor is where the girls pick up customers, and the first floor is the bar and casino. Soon, he followed the stairs to the first floor.

"Ok?"

When passing by the corridor, he found an open door on the side, and he closed the door casually.

Just then.

"Hey, 'Big Jim.'" A voice called his name from behind.

He turned his head.

"boom."
