A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 326 Saint Denis cannot live without Arthur
After temporarily appeasing Lambert, Hosea quickly made appointments with Zheng Shixiong and Ryan respectively.

Although Ryan dared to launch a brazen attack on Zheng Shixiong during Arthur's absence, he still did not dare not attend Hosea's appointment on time.

After all, what happened in the past period has made Ryan deeply understand the truth, that is, he cannot regard Arthur and his group as 'angel investors' who are stupid and rich.

Ryan sat opposite Hosea. Although there was no pressure like when facing Arthur, Hosea's expression still made it difficult for Ryan to figure out what his attitude was towards this matter.

"Ryan, I think you need to give me and Arthur a reasonable explanation."

Looking at Hosea smoking, Ryan lit one for himself. As the smoke spread in the room, he explained:

"Mr. Matthews, first of all, I apologize for not notifying you of this incident in advance, but you can certainly understand that this conflict was not intentional on my part. The conflict between my subordinates and the Chinese people in Hongmen Even though I stopped it immediately, the conflict still broke out, and I had to consider the emotions of my brothers."

Hosea smiled and nodded. After putting out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table, he said:
"Indeed, after all, Ryan, you are different now than before. Not only do you need to eat, but the people below also need to eat. I understand, but have you considered Arthur's emotions?"

"Mr. Matthews…."

"No, no." Hosea lit another cigarette for himself, and after putting out the match, he continued:
"You must understand that the relationship between Zheng Shixiong and Arthur... For us, fighting with the left hand and the right hand is not really unacceptable. After all, whether it is you or Hongmen, It’s not really about the left and right hands. If one is cut off, you can replace it with a new one.”

After hearing Hosea's seemingly pointed words, Ryan, who was confident that he would not be the one being chopped off, smiled and said:

"As I said at the beginning, I'm sorry for what happened. When Arthur comes back, I will explain it to him personally. But for now, Mr. Matthews, I can't unilaterally explain it to him." Go and stop this war. These Chinese are not good people. They showed a willingness to give up when Bronte was still alive. At that time, I was the only one who was still fighting with Bronte. What about resistance now? Now that Brontë is dead and the Italians are completely scattered, they have ideas again. This is unreasonable. They did not show their heads when they contributed, but now they are sharing the benefits. They are better than Everyone is positive.”

Regarding the dissatisfaction expressed by Ryan, Hosea shook his head. Regarding who is right and who is wrong in this part, who is justified and who is not justified, this is not what he should care about. After what happened, all he should consider now is how to deal with the aftermath. The ending, the cause, this is something that needs to be finalized only after the matter is over.

Faced with Hosea shaking his head in silence, Ryan continued:
"Also, from another perspective, even those in Hongmen cannot support their huge appetite. Instead of leaving it to them until something goes wrong and then deal with it, it would be better for us to take over directly, Mr. Matthews , I believe you can understand this truth too, don’t you?”

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Listening to the knock on the door outside the house, Hosea did not rush to answer Ryan's words, but shouted "come in" to the door.

After Henry outside the door heard it, he opened the door and came in, telling Hesea that Zheng Shixiong was here.

It was not only Hosea who heard this, but Ryan who was sitting opposite also heard it.

Ryan was not surprised by this. After all, since he had made an appointment to talk to him, it was only reasonable that he would also make an appointment with Zheng Shixiong.Just listen to Hosea smiling and asking Ryan:
"Meet Zheng Shixiong with me, let's sit down and have a chat. The current chaos is not good for business for any of you, isn't it?"

Lane was noncommittal about the proposal.

Soon, at Hosea's signal, Henry also brought Zheng Shixiong in from the outside. When he saw that Ryan was also in the house, Zheng Shixiong's expression did not change much from beginning to end. He looked like he was smiling and humming. After Hosea said hello, he pulled out the chair next to Ryan and sat down, seemingly not worrying that he would be in any danger.

"Mr. Zheng, it came earlier than the appointed time." Hosea said with a smile.

"Where is Mr. Matthews, is Mr. Morgan back?"

Similar to Ryan's first sentence, Zheng Shixiong is also waiting for Arthur to come back.

"It's coming, it's coming, but with you guys acting like this now, I think Arthur might not be very happy when he comes back."

"Haha." Hearing what Hosea said, Zheng Shixiong laughed a few times, then while holding the iron gall in his hand, he looked at Ryan sitting next to him and said:
"It's just a little brawl between some young people. It's not serious. After all, if Mr. Morgan came here, his hand would be much bigger than this."

Although there is nothing wrong in saying this, after all, only Arthur can do such a thing as blowing up someone else's mansion to the sky. However, if you really want to say that these two people are just fighting, then He Xi Ah felt that Zheng Shixiong was too modest. If Lane hanging the body on the street lamp could be considered a small trick, then Zheng Shixiong's men split Lane's body open, then wrapped it in oil paper and sent it back to Lane. , no matter how you look at it, it can't be regarded as a small fight.

Seeing that neither of them seemed to have any intention to talk, Hosea had no choice but to speak:
"I originally wanted to have a chat with the two of you separately, but since the two of you are here now, why don't you consider talking about it? Let's put it on the table to talk about any problems, there is no need to fight, Be civilized, I remember Arthur taught me a Chinese saying, it's called 'harmony brings wealth', is that correct?"

"Hahaha, the truth is that 'harmony makes money', but, Mr. Matthews, there is another truth I don't know if you understand, that is, money is a good thing, but besides money, we always need something else I am a tolerant person, but even a tolerant person will no longer tolerate some things, just like a kind person will get angry, these Mexicans have gone too far.” Zheng Shixiong said with a smile .

Regarding Zheng Shixiong's euphemistic statement, Ryan was more direct. He looked at Zheng Shixiong with a mocking look and said:

"Old guy, wash your neck and wait for me."

After hearing what the two people said, Hosea couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

People, indeed, cannot gain wealth and wisdom at the same time.
