A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 154
the next day.

When Archibald saw Charlie returning, his first reaction was that something had happened to Arthur.

Although he felt that Arthur deserved it, he had already asked Arthur to bring more people with him when he went to find trouble. If he had to take the cripple in front of him, looking at Charlie's unscathed appearance, it was obvious that he had left Arthur behind. He ran away, and then came to him for help in a pretentious manner.

Although Archibald thought a lot, he didn't show it on his face. He deliberately asked politely:

"Why are you back so soon? Hey, where are Mr. Callahan and his friends? Didn't I remember that you went to find trouble with the Anderson Gang? Everything went well?"

Charlie listened to Archibald's series of questions and hesitated to speak, not because he was pretending to be deep or anything, but because there were so many questions that he didn't know which one to answer first.

Archibald looked at the silent Charlie and thought he was frightened, so he said:
"Something happened to Mr. Callahan. Oh, I've advised you all a long time ago. Let's go. I'll take some people with you. Have you seen clearly how many people there are in Anderson?"

Archibald was not asking for help. He had no intention of arresting Anderson on this trip, but was simply prepared to use the Gray family's reputation to redeem Arthur.

After all, no matter what, if a rich man like Arthur falls into the hands of Anderson's helpers, he will definitely have to suffer a certain amount of punishment, but death will not happen. Anderson's people will not let go of every possible blackmail. Opportunity.

The Gray family still needs people like Arthur to do things for them, and it won't take much to redeem Arthur.

And Charlie also realized at this time that Archibald seemed to have misunderstood something.

Charlie no longer struggled with which question to answer now. Anyway, Archibald was already preparing to take him and him on a trip. His original intention was to let Archibald take people to deal with the aftermath, so he said :
"Then, let's go."

Soon, Archibald gathered about seven or eight people. Charlie didn't say much and just followed them quietly. Archibald also tried to talk to him a few times on the way, but Charlie's answers were very honest. It was too brief, and the conversation ended like this.

"We're here, eh? You all should be careful. Something's wrong. Why is there no one here yet?" Archibald ordered everyone nervously.

Charlie looked at their nervous looks, put on an ugly smile, and said:
"It's okay, follow me."

After saying that, he led them into the old mill.

Archibald was still a little wary at first, but slowly, he found that he was suddenly confused about the situation. The corpses scattered on the ground were the bodies of the Anderson gang, and they were all shot in the head. It seemed that All killed with one shot.

"Hey, didn't Mr. Callahan come here to cause trouble and was caught? Didn't you come to ask for help?" Archibald finally asked.

Charlie, who was walking in front, turned around. With the only half of his face left, he vividly showed a mixture of "Are you kidding me?"

'Who told you so' 'There's something wrong with you when I look at you like this'.

For a moment, Archibald felt that he was severely humiliated by Charlie's expression.

The last group of people arrived in front of a dilapidated large barn under the leadership of Charlie. Charlie said inside that he had brought Archibald here, and then waited outside for a long time until the screams inside slowed down. After slowing to a stop, they heard Arthur speak to let them in outside.

As Charlie slowly opened the barn door, a scene that could be described as hell on earth appeared in front of Archibald and others.

Broken limbs, blood stains everywhere, corpses stacked on top of each other, and in the middle, an armless man kneeling in front of them, grabbing the ground with his head.

The people brought by Archibald were so frightened that they raised their guns and stood on guard.After Archibald stopped the panicked men, he looked at the familiar golden hair color and long braid on the armless man's head, and he recognized it at once. This guy was obviously dead. Anders Anderson can no longer die.

Just when Archibald was still in great shock, Arthur slowly walked up from behind. He just went to find a bucket behind to wash off the blood on his hands and face. His appearance made the original The police officers who had lowered their guns raised their guns again, aiming at Arthur.

"Archibald!" Charlie yelled, and at the same time reflexively raised his gun to control Archibald.

Archibald himself was awakened by the voice. He quickly asked his men to put away their guns again, and then explained to them that they were one of his own.

"Don't get excited, Lucio! Put down the gun!" Seeing everyone put down the gun obediently, only the boy who questioned the order in front of the tavern still held the gun stubbornly, Archibald was signaling to Charlie After calming down, he came to Lucio, grabbed his gun, and cursed:
"Brat, are you deaf!"

"Deputy Sheriff! This guy killed so many!..."

"To shut up!"

Seeing this unexpected scene in front of him, Arthur took off his blood-stained coat, then looked at Archibald and said:
"Well, Archibald, the credit for wiping out the Anderson Gang should go to Chief Gray. Do you think there's no problem with that?"

Hearing what Arthur said, Archibald smiled and nodded:
"No problem, what's the problem? Haha, Mr. Callahan, what a skill."

"Deputy?! This is wrong? He's a criminal, a lynching!" Lucio yelled, protesting loudly despite having his gun taken away.

Arthur glanced at this young police officer who was full of a sense of justice. He smiled and said:
"I don't think I have anything to do here, so let's go first."

"Okay, I will send you the bounty. I think Anderson's bounty is life or death." Archibald said somewhat flatteringly. He still understood the matter of reciprocity.

"No! Don't go!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Lucio immediately stepped forward to catch Arthur.

As soon as Lucio stretched out his hand, he was punched to the ground by Charlie who had been preparing for it.

Unlike before, this time neither Archibald nor the other men he brought had any reaction.

Arthur could tell at a glance that this little policeman with a sense of justice must have been excluded long ago. He didn't say anything more, just nodded with Archibald, then took Charlie and left.

Archibald watched Arthur leave until the figure disappeared from sight, then he turned his head and looked at all the men he brought with him.

Archibald then looked down at Lucio, who was knocked unconscious by a punch, and said:

"Remember, we received a tip, and under the leadership of Chief Gray, we successfully annihilated the Anderson Gang entrenched near Rhodes Town. During this process, Sheriff Lucio was unfortunately attacked by the enemy. , was shot and died..."

"boom."

After Archibald fired the shot, he handed the gun to the hand of the man closest to him. Under Archibald's gaze, this man also decisively stepped forward to shoot the still-dead man. Lucio fired again, and then, just as Archibald had done, he handed the gun to the next man.
