A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 214 Raiders

On the other end, Kieran and Sean went to the exact opposite place as Arthur and they went all the way east to the 'ghetto' of Saint Denis.

There are obvious differences between this place and the area in the center of Saint-Denis just now. This difference is not only in the style of the buildings, but also in the clothing of pedestrians on the street, to the idle homeless people on the street, and the garbage and mud everywhere. 'The ground, in all these aspects, is in sharp contrast to the neat streets, the carefully maintained greenery, and the gorgeously dressed people.

Sean felt uncomfortable with the somewhat polluted air here. After spitting on the roadside, he said:
"I really doubt it, Kieran, this place is actually Saint Denis. Don't people always joke about Saint Denis, so you have embraced civilization? It seems that civilization is also divided into people."

"I'm not Arthur. I can't answer your question like him. I can only say, have you seen the big chimney with black smoke over there? This is also civilization... Have you seen the sign of the pub in front? ?”

Looking in the direction of Kieran's finger, Sean saw the pub and the sign.

Sean asked naturally:

"So what does it say on the sign? I can't see it clearly."

"LeMoyne Raiders' Tavern."

Kieran didn't have much feelings about the name. He called Sean because he thought he might be able to find out something by going to the tavern, but Sean was different. He still remembered the battle in Rhodes Town before.

Although the city of Saint-Denis is the capital of the canton of Lemoyne, it is generally not surprising that a pub has Lemoyne in its name.

But like the hotel they stayed in, it would normally be called Saint Denis or something, but the name of this pub in a civilian area was Lemoyne, so forget it, and it also added the word "Raider". You know, "Raider" It's the same word as predator.

Sean thought about this and asked with some doubt:

"So this tavern is probably owned by the Lemoyne Raiders, right? You know the Lemoyne Raiders, right?"

"Huh? No, but it's not impossible. Let's go. No matter what, I don't think it will prevent you and I from going in and taking a look."

After Kieran finished speaking, he was about to go to the tavern with Sean to have a look, but a monk with a bald head and dark gray monastic clothes on the side of the road suddenly stopped the two of them and said:

"Two kindhearted people, I wonder if I can spare your time for a while?"

After Sean frowned and looked at Kieran, he turned around and stopped. Then Sean said somewhat frivolously:
"Father, I'm afraid you called the wrong person. I'm not a kind person. I even feel that I may not be a good person?"

"Please allow me to correct two mistakes in your sentence. Sir, first of all, I am just a humble monk, a penitent monk, not a priest. Secondly... I believe that everyone who works hard in life is great, You may have made some mistakes and made some wrong decisions, but who hasn’t?” the bald monk said in his infectious voice.

To be honest, Sean felt that what he said should be good things, but just like what Kieran said just now, he is not Arthur, and he was not interested in these words, so Sean asked bluntly:

"So, Mr. Monk, what do you want to do when you call us to stop? We still have things to do."

The monk saw that Sean seemed to have no faith and no intention of repenting for what he had done, so he turned his eyes to Kieran and stated his purpose, saying:

"Sir, no matter what, God will know everything, whether it is good or bad, so you might as well give some love? Give some money to the poor."

As he spoke, the bald monk motioned the two of them to look at the empty wooden bowl on the ground in front of him.

"There are still so many poor souls suffering from hunger today..."

"Stop it, we have no money, a bunch of kids, no, a bunch of thieves, they stole our wallets."

When Sean understood that the monk was only calling them to ask for money, he refused decisively and explained the reason.To a certain extent, the final explanation allows people to see that Sean still has some emotional intelligence, at least the rejection was quite tactful.

The monk was a little disappointed. After receiving a shake-of-the-head rejection from Kieran, he said:
"I'm sorry, I don't know that your wallet was stolen. Please don't mind my request. I believe that you are kind in your heart, but it is true that you cannot contribute to the poor because of the theft of your wallet."

"Thank you for your understanding," Kieran said politely.

"By the way, if you are here looking for the thieves who stole your wallet, and the thieves happen to be children, then I may know some information. By the way, you can call me Brother Dawkins..."

……

On the other side, Arthur met Henry Lemieux, the mayor of Saint-Denis in the study.

From the appearance point of view, the mayor is quite tall. He is almost as tall as Arthur. Apart from the red tie and black suit, his face is also very distinctive, with his deep eyes and thick beard. It is always the first thing to attract the attention of the person you meet for the first time.

"Hello, Mayor Lemieux, Arthur, Arthur Callahan, I assume Baird mentioned to you that I might be coming to visit you?"

"Ah, hello, friend." Lemieux stretched out his hand and shook Arthur's hand with moderate force, and then continued in a tone that was neither far nor near:

"You are the Mr. Callahan that Mr. Baird mentioned to me. Nice to meet you."

I heard that politicians are very particular about shaking hands.

Arthur had paid special attention just now. Lemieux moved his position slightly when shaking hands with him, and then specifically used his right hand instead of the more convenient left hand.

And while shaking hands, he was still communicating with himself with his eyes. Although Arthur was not sure how much sincerity in Lemieux's eyes was true, the confidence in it was indeed clear.

In the end, this neither short nor long handshake lasted for almost two or three seconds before finally ending.

As Lemieux returned to his seat, he extended his hand to invite Arthur and Hosea to sit down. After they both sat down, he asked:
"I heard that, Mr. Callahan, you are a very popular person in Lemoyne State, especially in Rhodes Town. So, is there anything I can help you with?"

Listening to what Lemieux seemed to be alluding to, Arthur felt a little headache. Finally, no one had done charades when talking to him recently. Unexpectedly, now there is again.

In any case, Arthur said politely:

"Mr. Mayor, originally I wanted to discuss with you the establishment of a factory in Saint-Denis, but..."

"Huh?" After hearing that Arthur actually wanted to open a factory in Saint-Denis, Lemieux was obviously more energetic and focused than before, although he knew that Arthur's 'just' was probably some trouble. , but he still took the initiative to answer the conversation enthusiastically:

"But what? Mr. Callahan, don't worry, whether you need support or special policies, they can be discussed."

Listening to Lemieux's English with a French accent, Arthur smiled and shook his head and said:

"It's not that. The main thing is that before I visited Mr. Mayor today, my wallet was stolen by a group of thieves at the entrance of the Saint-Denis Hotel. Alas, such security makes people uneasy about building a factory here. "
