A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 466 A truly reliable friend
"You want to fuck me? You sucking bastard!" Thompson sat on the desk and looked at Charlie Luciano, who was sitting on the chair opposite him in a gangster-like posture.

Not long after Luciano and Geraint met, Thompson's brother, Sheriff Eli, led someone to 'invite' Luciano over.

"I thought you were a man of etiquette and politeness?"

Thompson took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette for himself, and said:
"I deal with polite people, and I have no manners for a murderer like you wandering around my city."

"Is it illegal to watch the sea now?"

"That's my sea you're looking at, and everything in this city is mine, understand?" Nucky said, pointing to Luciano's head.

Luciano, who was pointed at the head by Nucky, jumped up from the chair. Fortunately, Eli, who had been standing behind him, picked up the baton in his hand and locked his throat, strangling him tightly in the chair. superior.

"Consider this a warning, kid."

……

The little Meyer Lansky escaped from danger because he was sent by Luciano to solve the freight problem. He came to Chaoqi's tavern.

"What are you doing?"

After his subordinates finished searching him, Chao Qi looked at Lansky with a serious look on his face.

"Sir, as you can see, I am a businessman and I have a deal for you."

"Haha, does your mother know that you stole your father's best clothes and went out?"

Lansky has heard this many times.

"Yes, my mother knows." As he said that, Lansky was about to reach into his arms. Although he had been searched just now, the younger brothers were still nervously on guard.

Chao Qi watched coldly, and soon, Lansky took a thick stack of banknotes in his hand.

"This is a $[-] deposit."

Lansky put the money on the table in front of Chaoqi, then watched him pick up the money and flip it around quickly, then smiled, and then continued:
"A thousand boxes of wine, we..."

"Stop it." Zhao Qi sneered and threw the money back, and then said under Lansky's surprised eyes:
"Go back and tell Nucky there's no need to test me, do you understand me?"

"……understood."

Lansky's reaction was not unpleasant. When he saw that Chaoqi unexpectedly maintained a high degree of loyalty to Thompson, he did not explain anything. He was not Thompson's person, and this was not a test.

You know, Chao Qi's reaction has made it very clear that he will not betray Thompson. Instead of being caught and sent to Thompson after being exposed, it is better to make the mistake and leave intact.

……

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

"Hey, Morgan's house, ah, okay, wait a minute."

The housekeeper put down the phone, picked up a landline with an extra-long phone cord and came to the pavilion in the garden.

At this time, Arthur was painting, and his model was Linda.

"Arthur, Geraint's phone number."

Arthur nodded, instead of rushing to get the phone, he chose to finish the last stroke first.

Linda smiled and said:

"Telephones are really convenient. Arthur, when you wanted to invest in the communications industry, did you know that it would develop into what it is today?"

"Nowhere, it's just a coincidence."

As he spoke, Arthur threw the paintbrush into the bucket and picked up the phone.

"what happened again?"

"Dad, Thompson wanted to visit you."

"Didn't you tell him that the business you do has nothing to do with me?" Arthur said flatly.

"As I said, he said that visiting you was not for business."

"Then why is he visiting me? If I remember correctly, he holds the votes of the Jersey representatives in his hand. He should have a lot of more important things to do recently?"

This is not something Arthur went out of his way to understand. After all, this is not the first time he has experienced an election. Whether it is the upcoming changes in Washington or the gubernatorial elections in several states, what needs to be done about the key votes in each state? Man, Arthur already figured it out during the previous presidential elections.

At present, when Jersey votes are needed, although Thompson is only a small treasurer, he is more useful than any mayor, governor or senator.

"I don't know about that. I'm just sending a message to see if you've seen me." "Don't play tricks on me. If you don't have any plans, how could you call me and ask if you've seen me? Forget it. Well, tell him to come if he wants, anyway, I guess he is just like the other visitors who drop by... As for what you want to do, just don't leave a mess for me to clean up."

After Arthur said with a smile, he hung up the phone and continued to pick up the paintbrush.

"Aren't you involved?" Linda asked, maintaining her previous posture.

"What did I get involved in? I just agreed to meet."

"You don't care as much as you let on."

"I really don't care about their business, but of course my son still has to care about it."

While chatting like this, Arthur finally completed the painting.

"come and see."

Linda rubbed her waist, which was a little stiff from sitting, and came behind Arthur's drawing board to look at the painting.

"It's just so-so. Your painting is not realistic enough."

"?" Arthur was unwilling to hear this comment, and he retorted:
"What's not like?"

He painted so well.

"It's just that they look too alike, so there's a problem! You don't even know how to beautify it a little for me!"

"Pfft." Arthur shook his head and said after holding back his laughter:
"Be careful next time, be careful next time. If you have this request, you should ask it earlier."

……

On the other side, Luciano, who was severely beaten by the baton, found Lansky who returned without success.

"How did you end up like this?" Lansky asked with a frown.

"It's okay, I fell down, how are you doing over there?"

Although Luciano's excuse was terrible, Lansky saw that he didn't want to talk more, so he didn't mention it again. He shook his head and said:
"got rejected."

Regarding this result, Luciano just remained silent for a while, then stood up and said:

"Let's go. In this case, we have to change our thinking."

Both of them were silent on the way. When they arrived at the door, Luciano adjusted his expression, opened the door with a smile, and walked in.

"Hey, do any of you have a nickel in change?"

"Oh, look who this is."

In the house, the men sitting around a round table playing cards smiled and looked at Luciano who came in from outside. The two of them obviously looked very familiar.

"Last time I saw you, you were working behind an Irish guy." Luciano said with a smile while shaking his right hand.

The man looked at Mickey, the only non-Italian beside him. He looked at the visitor with a scrutinizing gaze and introduced:

"This is Charlie Luciano."

Luciano nodded, pointed to Lansky who came with him and said:
"This is Meyer Lansky, my friend."

"Hello, Mickey Doyle."

Mickey stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Luciano, but Luciano had no intention of shaking hands with a stranger.

Fortunately, Lansky, who was behind him, took a quick step forward and held Mitch's hand, thus avoiding Mitch's embarrassment.

Luciano glanced at Mickey, and then asked in Italian:

"Who is this guy?"

"He owes us money, don't worry, sooner or later we will kill him." (Italian)

Mickey Doyle was Thompson's former partner, but he was abandoned by Thompson after being raided by prohibition agents, and he also lost all the investment of the LS brothers.

Luciano smiled when he heard this and put one hand on Mickey's shoulder, shook Mickey's hand with the other hand, and then explained to him with a questioning look:

"He's telling me what a reliable friend you are."
