A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 76 Arthur’s Little Gang
"Mr. Morgan, are you really sure you want to do this?" Nellie Calloway asked with a frown.

Considering that Arthur holds a majority share in today's clinics and hotels, if Arthur really decides to do this, old Nellie can only accept it silently.

But he disagreed with this approach from the bottom of his heart.

As an Italian, if it were Nellie who faced the situation Arthur is facing now, he might not have a better choice, but choosing to inform the police?Even if this may be just a stopgap measure, just a false and arrogant way of taking refuge.

A snitch is a snitch.

Betrayal is betrayal.

The Sicilian tradition in Nellie's hometown has already used countless examples to make Nellie understand the only truth, that is, only silence is the best way for a person to deal with the authorities, and traitors will not end well.

Especially for people who live among gangs that are all outlaws.

Arthur sat in his seat. He expressed his attitude to Nellie again, and then he looked around at the people in front of him. Except for Nellie, who had sat down again and said nothing, the others were Black, Frank Sr., his daughter, Kieran and Charlie had yet to speak.

Oh, Charlie hasn't been introduced yet.

As for Charlie, he was a Southerner who had experienced defeat and was now alone.At the end of the Civil War, Charlie participated in the war as a Confederate soldier and was shot half in the face by enemy bullets. He was lucky enough to survive.

Then he spent several years in prison in the north.

Finally, he wandered on the streets of Valentine. When Arthur met him, Charlie's face was wearing a half-mask that looked very human-like. At that time, he was completely lost and waiting to die. In this state, with a pair of dim eyes that have lost the reason to live, he sits on the roadside and quietly waits for death.

As for the subsequent story, I will omit it for now. Anyway, the result is that Arthur finally took him in, cleaned him up, and threw him to Kieran to help him.

It just so happened that Kieran always told Arthur that he was going to be busy.

So Charlie became his helper.

In short, don’t ask. If you ask, you will have to write a lot. We still have a chance to talk again. Anyway, Arthur still trusts Charlie now.

It's too far, too far. In short, Arthur gathered these people here late at night mainly because he wanted to hear their opinions on the plan he planned to implement next. Arthur said to the remaining few The silent person asked:

"What about you? Tell me what you think."

Blake said very frankly:

"You don't have to worry about me anyway. I remember that the contract we signed was named Arthur Callahan. In any case, Detective Pinkerton can't find any trouble with me here? As for the rest, If you ask me, I don’t understand either, I’m just an honest small businessman.”

"I do what I should do, and you do what you think you should do. In short, I have no objection."

Arthur nodded after listening.

Very good, saying it is the same as not saying it, but at least the attitude is worthy of praise.

But yes, Blake's business was not attracting attention at first, so Arthur didn't need to worry too much.

Then Arthur looked at Frank and his daughter.

"Arnold said it. In fact, we think the same thing as father and daughter. Since we are holding your job anyway, we will naturally continue to stand by your side, even if your ship sinks... To be honest, I have thought about it. You think, it doesn’t seem to affect our current poker business? So my opinion is that you can do whatever you want." Old Frank continued after Black.

The daughter standing next to him looked at his father with disgust after listening to what Old Frank said, as if she was very dissatisfied with his attitude.But since her father said so, she just nodded and said nothing more.

Arthur didn't mind some of the 'offense' in what Old Frank said.

Although what Old Frank said didn't sound good, he was indeed telling the truth.

Arthur has never made himself the core figure in all businesses in Valentine, which is why he has given full authority to Kieran about the casino, because he had thought about it in advance from the very beginning. , if one day such a situation happens that I have to leave.

If he leaves, whether the business here can continue to bring him stable profits has always been Arthur's first consideration.

Similarly, after Old Frank finished speaking, Arthur turned his eyes to Kieran, but Kieran just looked at Arthur and did not speak.

"Kieran? What did you say?" Arthur had no choice but to ask Kieran.

To be honest, Kieran looked much calmer after his recent experience in the casino. He did not speak in a hurry, but after thinking for a while, he looked at Arthur and said solemnly :
"Arthur, I support your plan. Don't worry, I will be here to help you take care of these businesses. I think there is no one like me among Pinkerton's targets, so I think I am your best choice." agent, you can trust me completely."

Arthur smiled happily after hearing this. To be honest, he was really happy to see Kieran's growth now.

However, Arthur still warned Kieran carefully:
"Don't be careless. Although you are right, what you have to worry about is never Pinkerton. What you really need to be careful about is Odrisk. I have a hunch that the Odrisk Gang will not If you give up Valentine's interests so easily, they will definitely try to recapture Valentine. And if they find you, as a 'traitor' in their eyes, they will never let you go easily.

"But, then again, you are now a thriving little money tree. Maybe O'Drisik will be reluctant to kill you then? Haha."

Kieran didn't pay attention to Arthur's last joke, and he took Arthur's warning seriously.

At this time, Charlie next to Kieran suddenly spoke. He didn't speak much and said in a low voice:
"I will protect you."

Arthur believed Charlie would.

Okay, everything that needs to be explained has been explained. Arthur raised the wine glass in front of him, stretched it out to everyone, and said:

"Come, let's have a drink together. Don't worry, the difficulties in front of you are only temporary. I will definitely lead you on a path to success! Come! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

"Dad, drink less."

"..."

……

After everyone left the room, Arthur silently lit up a cigarette again. His face was no longer as relaxed and confident as it had been before.

Arthur has already sent someone to bring a message to Milton.

Arthur Morgan, meet him.
