A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 142 Chapter 1 Forty: Flames of Revenge

Sheriff's Office, jail cell.

The member of the O'Drisco gang who was reported directly by the townspeople during Arthur's speech has now been beaten black and blue.

He lay on the ground and howled continuously, still muttering in his mouth:

"I said, say anything... don't fight, don't fight..."

However, Arthur still beat the man without saying a word, and others could only see his anger from Arthur's rapidly rising and falling chest.

Arthur looked indifferent and looked down at the blood on the joints of his fists. To be honest, he couldn't tell whether it was this person's or his own.

"Arthur... stop fighting. If you want to ask anything, just ask directly. This kid must be willing to do anything. If he fights again, he will be beaten to death." Malloy stood outside the cell. He advised in a low voice.

"Ah...I've done it, I've done it all, you ask me, really don't do it, please." The boy from the O'Drisco gang also listened to Malloy's words and tried his best. With his last bit of strength, he struggled to crawl to Arthur's feet. He hugged Arthur's legs tightly and kept begging.

Malloy's words seemed to make him see the possibility of ending the nightmare. He was just a small person, not a tough guy, and he really couldn't take it anymore.

Arthur still looked indifferently at the boy who was holding his legs and crying, but he finally asked:
"Where's your mate?"

Hearing Arthur's question like the sounds of nature, the kid quickly replied:

"Let's go, they are all gone. They left after they finished their work. I just stayed to observe..."

"Where?" Arthur continued to ask.

"I...well, we have a temporary camp outside Valentine." He wanted to say that he didn't know, but after secretly looking at Arthur's eyes, he finally answered truthfully.

He really couldn't bear it anymore, his whole body ached, and it felt as if all his bones were broken.

After hearing this, Arthur nodded, then kicked the man away again, raised his foot and stepped on his chest slowly and hard, and then said:
"The last question, think it through before answering me. This question is related to whether you can be hanged safely."

"Yes, yes... oh... you say it, you say it." He answered while suppressing the pain in his chest.

It doesn't matter whether he is hanged or not, as long as he doesn't get beaten again, it's all a trivial matter.

All he wanted in his heart was a quick death.

"Boss of the inn, Blake... did you do it?"

If Arthur's eyes just now were just cold, then now, the murderous look in Arthur's eyes made the boy's whole body feel cold.

He opened his mouth, and originally wanted to give some excuse, but when it came to his mouth, he hesitated again. He really regretted it. Why did he volunteer to stay in Valentine in the first place? That’s right!He should have left with the others then.

Feeling the gradually increasing strength in his chest, his lungs, which were already somewhat deprived of oxygen, gradually began to feel like he couldn't breathe. His hands unconsciously grabbed Arthur's feet and stepped on him, but he couldn't move them anyway. No, so he could only open his mouth and say:
"Man, I didn't kill it, I'm not a member of the Odlisk gang, we...we were hired by Cameron...Really, I didn't do anything, please, let me go, I just joined them too..."

"name?"

"My name is Remo..."

"Names of your gang!" Arthur interrupted loudly.

Lei Mo hurriedly recounted what he knew, saying:
"The Anderson Gang, I'm from the Anderson Gang. Cameron, Cameron Spence contacted us through people and said that there was someone living in Valentine Town, so we came. Really, I Everything I said is true. I am really not a member of the Odrisk Gang. Let me go. I didn’t kill the person..."

Listening to the words of Remo, who called himself the Anderson Gang, Arthur resisted the urge to kill him. He didn't know whether this so-called Anderson Gang was real.

But if you think about it carefully, he actually had no evidence when he reported that Remo was a citizen of the Odrisk Gang. He just tried shouting because he was a stranger, but the man really turned his head. He ran away and was arrested.It doesn't matter, as long as you know who did it.

Arthur didn't care about the last question he just said at all. He moved his feet away from Remo's chest, looked at him who could finally breathe heavily, and continued to ask:
"Cameron asked you to kill him?"

"No, originally our mission was to kidnap a few people according to the list, but there was an accident in the middle, and one of our companions disappeared... This innkeeper is the second target on the list, we just wanted to kidnap him I beg you, it really has nothing to do with me. I tried to persuade Anders, but he didn't listen to me. The boss resisted too fiercely, and he pissed off Anders... So …”

So Blake was brutally murdered.

Okay, great, Anderson Gang?
Really, the recent period of life may have given Arthur an illusion, that is, it seems that he has really changed his mind now. He has begun to deceive himself, as if he is no longer the gun-sucking man in the past. Western gunslinger.

How ridiculous, Arthur actually thought of himself as mocking Dutch. You see, reality is so cruel, and it gave Arthur a big mouth.

Blake's death woke Arthur up hard.

This is still the cannibalistic West, and honest people will not be able to live a good life just because you don't provoke others.

Looking at Remo who was still begging for mercy on the ground, Arthur didn't ask any more questions. He took out his gun and said calmly:
"In your next life, don't join a gang."

"No!! Don't be like this - ah."

"Bang, bang bang!"

Arthur stood like that, holding the gun in one hand. He shot Remo without hesitation, and even fired a few more shots because of the anger overflowing in his heart.

And Remo had an expression of horror and regret on his face until he took his last breath. What did he think before he died? Arthur didn't know whether he regretted it. What he had been saying before he died. , want Arthur to let him go?

I'm really sorry, Arthur didn't have time to find a reason why he deserved to be let go.

When it was done, Arthur pushed open the cell door. He glanced at Malloy, who was standing beside him with a complicated expression, and said:

"Next, Valentine Town may not be peaceful. Are you going on a business trip?"

Malloy shook his head and sighed:
"Is it possible to sit down and talk? I can give you a link?"

"Hehe, Charlie, you answer it." Arthur ignored Malloy, he left here directly, and before Charlie, who was standing at the door, followed Arthur and left, he finally turned his head, and then faced Malloy gently twitched the corner of the good side of his mouth.

It seems to be laughing?
Charlie answered simply for Arthur:
"No."

After saying that, Charlie also left.

Malloy was the only one left standing in the Sheriff's Office. He looked at the closed door silently. He actually knew before he spoke that he would most likely get such a reply, but he still asked.

Now it seems that no matter what I say, it is obviously meaningless.

Malloy returned to his desk silently. He placed the long gun that had not been taken out for a long time under the desk solemnly, and then cleaned it up.

After sighing deeply, he said to himself:
"Old man, we have read many stories related to revenge, but here... the end point of revenge is often destruction."

The dark muzzle seemed to be answering Malloy's other sentence:

That is, revenge is often also inevitable.
