Chapter 81: CCMT
As soon as he pushed open the door, the scene inside left Arthur dumbstruck and rooted to the spot.
The room was packed with burly men, all uniformly dressed in blue-black trench coats.
They surrounded the area like a bronze wall, exuding a chilling aura.
Steadfastly seated in the very center of this group of Bodyguards was the wealthy young master who had just met Johnny yesterday—Oliver.
Perhaps because this wealthy young master had already briefed his subordinates in advance.
Therefore, there was no cliché plot like in those old-fashioned novels where the Bodyguards act like bullies and judge people by their appearance.
Even the well-traveled Johnny couldn't help but be beyond shocked by the scene before him, thinking to himself:
This guy actually booked the entire tavern; such a spendthrift act is simply inhumane!
Just then, Oliver, who had been sitting upright in the center of the crowd, suddenly stood up and greeted them at the door with a beaming face, looking exactly like a fanatical little fan meeting a long-admired idol.
While greeting them warmly, he personally led Arthur and Johnny to the seats that had already been reserved.
After the two were settled, Oliver clapped his hands lightly.
As the crisp sound of clapping rang out, a Bodyguard standing to the side quickly stepped forward and nimbly opened a large wooden box placed beside him.
In an instant, it was as if a dazzling light shot out from inside the box; looking closely, it turned out that inside the wooden box lay an exquisitely crafted gift box.
The exterior of this gift box was meticulously carved from high-quality wood, and the lid was engraved with delicate and beautiful patterns, as if telling soul-stirring stories.
When the gift box was slowly opened, the first thing that caught the eye was a silk scarf as white as snow, covering the items within in layers like soft clouds.
After the silk scarf was carefully removed, the true face hidden beneath was finally revealed—it was just a uniquely shaped, crystal-clear wine bottle.
Just by looking at the bottle's design and materials, it wasn't hard to imagine that the fine wine inside must be priceless and incredibly precious.
Arthur stared dumbfounded at the exquisite packaging box, secretly marveling in his heart.
Such magnificent packaging just to hold a bottle of wine! This was truly beyond his expectations.
Just then, the Bodyguard carefully took the bottle out of the box as if treating a rare treasure.
Every one of his movements was so gentle, as if he were afraid that even a little force would damage this precious item.
Then, the Bodyguard extremely carefully placed the bottle of wine in front of Arthur and Johnny.
Seeing this, Oliver, standing to the side, immediately had a smile appear on his face and spoke up:
"To be honest, I wasn't sure what kind of wine you two liked, so I specially chose this bottle of my usual favorite.
Its name is Sinsimito Tequila, and it costs 25 dollars." Having said this, he paused slightly and then added.
"I hope it suits your tastes." As soon as he finished speaking, Oliver skillfully uncorked the bottle and slowly poured the golden liquid into three glasses.
Witnessing all this, Arthur gained a whole new understanding of this wealthy young man's extravagant lifestyle.
In his eyes, a 25-cent bottle of genuine whiskey was already considered a fine vintage.
Today, however, he had seen with his own eyes a bottle of wine worth 25 dollars!
This huge contrast was truly unbelievable, making him feel as if he were in a dream.
Arthur didn't drink it immediately, but instead asked doubtfully:
"Sir, I still don't know what you do. I'd feel embarrassed to drink such expensive wine just like that!"
Facing the other's question, Oliver began his self-introduction.
"My name is Oliver Ogilgio. Yesterday I was saved by this Mr. Van der Linde. He learned that I admire a true American Gunslinger, so he decided to fulfill this little wish of mine."
When Arthur learned that the other party admired a Robin Hood-style life, he immediately became interested.
The two began to converse.
On the other side, Johnny fell into thought, his attention completely attracted by this bottle of wine.
"Sinsimito Tequila? Isn't that the horse piss from GTA?"
To actually see it here, he didn't know what kind of fate it was.
As soon as he saw this bottle of wine, a devilish whisper from Pavel echoed in his mind:
"Aha, Sinsimito!"
In his past life, as soon as he heard this sentence, he knew he was finished.
At this moment, Arthur appeared to be chatting and laughing happily with Oliver, but in reality, he was skillfully guiding the topic.
From time to time, he seemingly casually inquired about the specific industries the other party was involved in.
According to Oliver, their entire family had been engaged in the textile and catering industries in England for a long time.
In terms of textiles, they were mainly dedicated to producing various types of mid-to-high-end clothing;
In the catering field, they focused on selling high-quality cakes and fragrant, delicious coffee.
Currently, their family had traveled thousands of miles to America to conduct business activities and had been operating painstakingly in the city of Saint Denis for over two years.
When asked why he was looking for an American Gunslinger, Oliver stated with a firm gaze and full of longing.
Since childhood, the heroic spirit of robbing the rich to help the poor had been deeply imprinted in his heart.
Therefore, he resolutely left Saint Denis and headed towards the vast and boundless Western region.
Just then, Oliver, who had been talking non-stop about his experiences, suddenly stopped talking, turned to face Arthur and Johnny with a serious and solemn expression, and spoke sincerely:
"If you two gentlemen can fulfill this wish of mine and let me personally experience a life as thrilling and full of justice as Robin Hood's.
Then in return, I am willing to hire the both of you with a generous remuneration of 100 dollars per person per day.
Please rest assured, this process will not take up too much of your precious time.
Not only that, I can help you with one favor first, and after the matter is done, I will help you with an additional favor.
Of course, the premise is that these requests are within my power."
