A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 461 Is this how you do business?

"Asleep?" Arthur said softly, looking at Linda who was wrapped up in a quilt and lying motionless on the bed.

"Humph!"

How old are you!

Ahem, although Arthur thought so in his heart, what he said was:
"I didn't even come out to eat dinner, so I asked the kitchen to make you something you like best... No, haha, to be honest, after so many years, I still haven't figured out what you like best."

"Huh!!" Linda lifted the quilt, sat up from the bed, folded her hands on her chest, then looked at Arthur and asked:
"What are you going to do?"

"Huh? What can you do? I picked out a few of your favorite dishes..."

"I'm talking about Hans!" Linda interrupted Arthur's behavior of changing the subject.

Arthur placed the small dining table in front of Linda, then sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile:

"What should we do with Hans? Don't we all agree that he is the most well-behaved child?"

"Ah, you are still laughing, Arthur Morgan, tell me how you can still laugh!" Linda collapsed a little. Although she thought she was an enlightened mother, this kind of thing happened to her son. , she really can’t be enlightened anymore.

"Then what do you say, Mrs. Morgan, let's find a way to stuff it back in for him and re-factor it out of the factory?"

"Ah! It's so annoying... Are you still in the mood to joke... Pfft, stuff it back? How did you come up with it? Haha." Linda was finally amused by Arthur's magical imagination.

……

"Jimmy, why is Thompson looking for me? Are you okay?"

Although Geraint didn't know that Jimmy had just talked with Thompson, he could see that Jimmy's face was obviously very ugly. The reason why he asked this was not because he was worried about his own safety, but more out of concern.

"Of course it's because of Capone's good deeds. As for me? Oh, I lost my job, and I have to pay Nucky three thousand dollars..."

"Why??" Geraint has not forgotten the relationship between Jimmy and Thompson. To be honest, Jimmy almost grew up watching Thompson.

Jimmy sighed, didn't say much, just pushed open the door of Thompson's office on the eighth floor of the hotel.

"Please. Nucky..."

Before Jimmy finished speaking, he saw Thompson holding up the receiver to signal him to be quiet.

"hello?"

"Mr. Thompson, this is Arnold Rothstein."

"What a surprise." Thompson just glanced at Geraint and Jimmy and then said into the receiver.

"I agree. Let me tell you the truth. I called because until now, I have not received the goods I ordered."

"Really? Mr. Rothstein, you didn't receive the goods you ordered."

Thompson deliberately repeated these words to Geraint and Jimmy.

"Yes, I don't know if it's because the truck ran out of gas or for some other reason. Who knows. Anyway, let's treat this as a small misunderstanding."

Although Rothstein's voice was calm, Thompson knew that Rothstein was probably going crazy. After all, he had already heard what happened from Jimmy. Rothstein's goods had been snatched away by Johnny and the others, and then There are also his people involved here. "Okay, remember whatever you want, is there anything else?"

Thompson would not make useless repairs to someone who had already offended him. Moreover, Rothstein had actually called him for a day, and he deliberately only answered the call after Geraint arrived.

"No problem, Mr. Thompson, but now you have to pay me $[-]."

"What did you say? You want me to pay you $[-]?" Thompson asked loudly, as if he heard something incredible.

This time, Thompson didn't mean to tell Geraint.

In the receiver, Rothstein repeated it again.

"You need to compensate me one hundred thousand dollars, or in other words, you owe me one hundred thousand dollars now. Listen, I have found out clearly, you sold my goods to Chicago? Haha, Mr. Thompson, you are really not enough Meaning. Moreover, the person following the car on this trip is my sister-in-law’s nephew, so including compensation and payment, you owe me one hundred thousand dollars, do you understand me?”

"Haha, first of all, I didn't transfer your goods to anyone, and secondly, I don't care even if it's your mother's goods." Thompson said unceremoniously.

When Rothstein heard this through the receiver, he no longer had the polite tone just now. He said in a cold tone:
"Is this your business?"

"You want to know how I do business? Just step into Atlantic City and you'll find out." After saying that, Thompson hung up the phone with a bang.

On the opposite side, Geraint, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, probably figured out why Thompson wanted to find him.

"Mr. Thompson, do you think you need me to leave first and leave you alone to calm down?"

"Haha." Different from the angry look just now, Thompson smiled. It was not sincere, but it was not too perfunctory. He looked at Geraint and asked:
"You owe me an explanation? You and Johnny, what on earth are you doing??"

"Mr. Thompson, although I actually have no obligation to answer you, considering our cooperative relationship, I will make an exception this time and answer you."

Geraint sat on the chair and crossed his legs.

"You described to Sean, Mr. McGuire, a beautiful vision of monopolizing moonshine in New York and Chicago, but you didn't do it, so we did you a small favor. Now, Chicago is yours too. The scope of sales has been expanded, speaking of which, we have helped you expand your business."

"Bullshit, what about New York? Not only did you not consult me ​​beforehand with your reckless behavior, but you also involved my people without authorization. You caused a rupture in the relationship between me and Rothstein!"

Facing Thompson's question, Geraint shook his head and said disapprovingly:
"As far as I know, Mr. Thompson, didn't your relationship with Rothstein break down a long time ago?"

Geraint hadn't forgotten the dispute he had seen in the casino.

Obviously, Thompson also remembered that Geraint was also present when he and Rothstein argued in the casino.

"Anyway, since you admitted that you were responsible for this incident, and now this incident has caused me losses, I think I need to be compensated."

Compensation?Geraint smiled.

"Of course, in order to express my apology, I am willing to give Mr. Thompson a [-]% discount on the payment of the next batch of goods. What do you think?"

"Boy, are you sending away beggars? Where's Sean McGuire? I asked him to come and talk to me. I can't believe he actually left a young boy like you here to take care of things." Thompson complained road.

"I don't know if it's because I haven't formally introduced myself yet, Geraint Morgan. Well, now that you know me, I hope this is the last time you call me this rude name, Mr. Thompson. .”

After hearing this, Thompson became serious. Part of the reason was Geraint's sudden serious attitude, and the other part was the surname 'Morgan', which made him unsure. He just happened to have this surname, or... The brat in front of me is really a member of the Morgan family that I know.
