A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 359 Someone Wants to Kill You

When Arthur and the others were eating at the Chinese restaurant, Henry pushed the dining car and came to the third floor to deliver the food.

"Hey, Henry, what are you going to eat today?" the security guard from Blackwater River Company who was already familiar with Henry asked with a smile.

Henry smiled reluctantly and replied:
"Mushroom soup, bread and butter, and the main dish is beef, potatoes and tomatoes."

"..." Another security guard could tell at a glance that something was not right about Henry.

Although the tone of his answer sounded normal, the panicked look on his face and his evasive eyes still made him alert.

"Henry, is something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the security guard who greeted Henry with a smile at the beginning directly raised his gun, and then looked at Henry carefully.

"Ah? No, there's nothing wrong. Don't be too nervous. I'm just here to deliver food to you." Henry replied calmly.

Soon after being notified, the security on this floor were all on alert. It can only be said that for the personnel who can be selected by Charlie to be responsible for security on the third floor of the hotel, physical fitness is not the most important, vigilance is the first consideration. of.

"Henry, we are very familiar with each other. Boss Morgan and the instructor (Charlie) all believe in you. We don't want to doubt you, but your behavior today is indeed a bit strange. In this case, you eat the food first." The captain's tone was not strong, but it was not a discussion tone.

"Understood, no problem." After saying that, Henry went to get food from the dining car, but was stopped by the squad leader again. He immediately took a piece of bread, made soup and staple food himself, and made sure that all Every ingredient was included before being handed over to Henry.

"Eat."

"..." Henry didn't explain anything more, but finished the food under his gaze, and there wasn't even any soup left.

The atmosphere that followed became a bit suffocating. Henry could only be temporarily supervised, and the food was left where it was, and no one moved it.

After about half an hour, after making sure that nothing happened to Henry, the team leader said to Henry apologetically:
"Sorry, it looks like we misunderstood."

Henry was not angry, but said calmly:
"It's okay. Then you can eat, I'll leave first."

Then the security personnel had dinner.

After eating and drinking, the security personnel continued to return to their posts.

Around midnight, Arthur and the others came back.

The incident that happened just now was a misunderstanding, so the security personnel didn't mention it to Arthur or Charlie. Not long after, Martin brought Moriarty to Arthur's office. Everyone else should take a rest. Those who should work also went to work.

There were only Moriarty and Arthur in the office, as well as Linda, who was too full to sleep for the time being, and Hosea, who was older and slept late.

"Moriarty, please come here in a hurry. Before I talk to you about the business, I have to tell you that I had a very unhappy chat with your old friend Brad today. He embezzled my deposit in the Saint-Denis Bank money, and the hole cannot be filled for the time being.”

"..." Moriarty didn't expect that Arthur's first words when meeting him would be such an unpleasant thing.Just listen to Arthur continue:

"I am a very tolerant person, but my tolerance has a prerequisite, Moriarty."

"..."

"You shouldn't be silent now, but you should tell me, tell me for sure that the money I deposit in the Lemoyne State Bank is safe and can be withdrawn at any time." Arthur said indifferently.

Moriarty said nervously:
"Mr. Morgan, although I introduced Brad to you, I really didn't expect him to do this. If you want to blame me for this, then I hope you can only vent your anger on me and not spread it to me." my family."

"Haha" Arthur laughed, opened the package of the newly bought cigarettes, took out one, and said with a smile:

"You may have misunderstood the point of focus. Brad is Brad. What I care about now is the money I have in Lemoyne State Bank. I need the money now, understand?"

"Understood, your money is safe, Mr. Morgan, but if you want to withdraw all the money immediately, it may take us a while. After all, we cannot spend all our cash reserves on you."

Moriarty chose his words very carefully. Although Arthur did not tell him what happened to Brad, his old friend, he still began to associate it unconsciously.

"Very good. It seems that you are smarter than Brad and have not made any irrational investments?"

Regarding Arthur's words, Moriarty frowned and asked:

"Irrational investment? Mr. Morgan, are you talking about the two oil companies that have been in the spotlight recently? I know Brad is very interested in them. In fact, our bank has also purchased a small amount of them. The stocks of these two companies, but after all, there are risks in the stock market, so we did not buy a lot."

This is really interesting. In Arthur's opinion, there should not be any capital that is not interested in the two companies of Babylon Oil and Babylon Oil Field. Although the details of these two companies cannot withstand careful investigation, their achievements have already won many In fact, no one has the intention to investigate the new scam backed by capital, and everyone is busy grabbing money.

Arthur lit a cigarette and said:
"I'm curious what makes you so restrained?"

After making sure that he didn't seem to be in any trouble, Moriarty also relaxed a little. He showed a smile and replied:

"It's not that we are restrained, Mr. Morgan, have you forgotten that our bank has invested in several of your factories and also provided a large amount of low-interest loans for your cotton industry. We don't have that much spare money to make further investments." Enter the stock market.”

In other words, I helped Lemoyne State Bank avoid a wave of losses.

After chatting about the business, the two finalized the funds and other things, and then Moriarty said goodbye and left. He did not stay here, but planned to return overnight to handle Arthur's withdrawal.

Arthur himself sat in the office for a while, dazed, and then got up to go back to the house to sleep.

At this time, Henry, who looked panicked, hurried in from outside and said to Arthur:

"Mr. Morgan, someone wants to kill you!"
