A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 470: A few phone calls

"What's wrong? Are you worried about Mr. Thompson?" Geraint asked, looking at Jimmy with a serious look on his face.

Jimmy nodded and said:

"Yes, more happened in the days after Prohibition than in all the years before."

"When the wave comes, some people can ride the wave, while some people will be knocked down by the wave. Without exception, everyone will be beaten by the wave." Geraint said with a smile.

This statement was not what he came up with, but what Arthur said.

"Why are there so many people gathered in front?"

After Jimmy stepped forward to check, he came back and said:
"Bjorn White, he's giving a speech for mayor."

"I remember that the mayor supported by Mr. Thompson didn't have this name? Let's go and see what he said."

After standing on the periphery of the crowd and listening for a while, Geraint said with admiration:
"Look, this is politics. To be honest, I didn't even think that Eli's being shot could be such an article."

There is one thing to say. For ordinary people, they may only attack from this incident. The current mayor is lacking or weak in public security, and this Bjorn White actually directly captured the Sheriff of Atlantic City. , was shot in a casino in the middle of the night, and used this to attack the Sheriff for corruption, accepting bribes and protection fees, and eventually implicated all current officials together and carried out attacks in a package.

"This is what disgusting politicians are like. They let us young people fight desperately on the battlefield, while they spend their days and nights in the background, telling lies and benefiting themselves." Jimmy said with disgust.

……

Soon, another trouble came to Thompson.

"Chaoqi, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Chao Qi sneered and said:

"Nucky, although I'm still laughing now, if you only think of him as a joke, then when it happens to those white people, I'm worried about whether you can still think of it as a joke."

Chaoqi's wine making workshop was raided repeatedly by the Ku Klux Klan with machine guns. It was almost, just almost, that Chaoqi would end up with the same fate as the other men who died inside.

There is no doubt that this is the revenge of Mr. Dingler, who had his fingers cut off by Chaoqi.

"Listen, Chaoqi, Eli was just shot. He is still lying in the hospital bed. There is no sergeant in the police department. We have not even identified the murderer who robbed the casino and injured Eli. Go catch it.”

Thompson tried to make Chao Qi understand that he didn't have the time or energy to be distracted anymore.

However, Chao Qi obviously didn't appreciate it.

"Nucky, I have the ability to solve this problem myself." After saying these words, Chao Qi ignored Thompson's call and left.

Eddie, the butler standing nearby, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked thoughtfully:
"Nucky, do you need me to help you get him back?"

"Go get the car ready, I'm going out."

"Okay, I'll go find my driver's cap right now."

"..."

Soon, Eddie, who was wearing his driver's hat, helped Thompson open the elevator door and pressed the button for the first floor.

"Ding dong."

The elevator door opened and Thompson came out. Guests and service staff coming and going from the hotel greeted him one after another.

"Mr. Thompson."

"Nucky."

"Good evening, Mr. Thompson."

This annoying greeting continued to the door of the hotel. Just when Thompson thought it was finally over, he was about to open the cigarette case and light a cigarette for himself, but he heard someone calling his name again behind him.

"Thompson."

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Thompson turned around and asked with a frown.

At this moment, a gunman approached quickly from behind holding a gun. "No!" The butler Eddie rushed directly to the gunman, and because of his position in order to drive, he successfully pushed away the gun in the gunman's hand.

"boom!"

The bullet hit a passerby in the chest, and the crowd around him instantly became chaotic. When the gunman saw that the assassination failed, he turned around and ran away.

"boom!"

Thompson watched in a daze as Eddie took out a mini Xiuzhen pistol from his clothes and shot the gunman.

"Are you okay Nucky?"

……

"Are you okay? Is this what you do?"

Damn it, even if the assassination failed, one of them was actually caught. Rothstein suddenly began to worry about the case that he had suppressed before.

"Mr. Rothstein, who would have thought that his driver was armed with a gun..."

Fuls stopped his cousin who was still trying to explain. Seeing that Rothstein's face turned very ugly, Fuls said seriously:
"I promise, next time Thompson is dead."

Throughout the whole process, Mickey stood aside and said nothing, just quietly listening to a few people discussing the next move.

……

"Arthur, Thompson was shot." Sean said to Arthur standing on the side of the boat.

Two people are fishing.

"It seems that the bootlegging business is quite dangerous. Your dealer is dead. If it doesn't work, just stop doing this business." Arthur said with a smile, pulling back an empty rod in his hand and feeding the empty fish again. Put the bait on the hook.

"He's not dead." Sean glanced at Arthur speechlessly and continued:
"He was just shot and killed by an unlucky passerby."

"Isn't this shooter too unprofessional?"

"Arthur?"

"Haha, okay, no more joking, Thanksgiving is at the end of the month. The invitation letter has been sent to Karen. Don't forget this. Bring your family and come over early so you don't be late." Arthur said with a smile.

This is also an annual tradition. After all, the old guys each have their own lives and jobs, so every Thanksgiving Arthur will host it and let everyone come to the house to get together.

"Ah, another year will soon pass, Arthur."

"Yeah, you've made a lot of money from the bootlegging business during this period, right?"

In response to Arthur's knowing question, Sean smiled and scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment:

"Indeed, it's just that originally it was said that I would be the one to do it, but in the end it was actually Geraint who was in charge."

"What's the point? Geraint used to come to your house every day when he was little, so it's okay to say he's half your son, right?" As he said that, there was movement from the fishing line, and Arthur suddenly lifted the rod and caught the fish. Then it starts to slide the fish, consuming its physical strength.

"Then Arthur, this matter..."

Sean was referring to the tense situation after Thompson's assassination. After all, this kind of thing often means the beginning of war. Likewise, it also means that business will be affected and income will be reduced.

"Don't worry, I will make a few calls when I get back. Hmm, Geraint, this brat, even made the calls himself, but he actually asked you to come..."

"Take up the line, Arthur, fast."

Before Arthur could finish his complaint, he was interrupted by Sean's urgent reminder.

After a while of fuss, Arthur held the rod, and Sean picked up the dipping net. With the cooperation of the two, Arthur caught a big fish with long arms.

"What a great fish."
