A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 164 Destruction
Arthur didn't care about the offense in Old Gray's words just now. He remembered that when they first met, Old Gray called him 'Mr. Morgan'.

Arthur understood that this old guy was convinced that his true identity was a wanted criminal, which made him feel that he could use this to manipulate himself.

In fact, Old Gray did think so. While maintaining a certain degree of vigilance, he did not really regard Arthur as a big threat. For him, as long as he was willing, he could hang Arthur in minutes. , and does not need to bear any legal consequences.

At least that's what Old Gray thought. He didn't know that Arthur had already found a way to get rid of the sanctions of his past crimes.

Arthur smiled and put down his crossed legs. After lighting himself a cigarette, he said:
"Mr. Gray, you obviously misunderstood me. I just want to know what to do next."

Old Gray replied:

"Wait."

Isn't this still nonsense? If you are willing to wait, why don't you wait until the Bravests die of old age?
Old Gray continued to pretend to be mysterious:

"Everyone with eyes has already seen the weakness of the Bravest family, so we don't have to wait too long, you know? Economics is a gun, politics is knowing when to pull the trigger, and now the gun has been pressed Now that we have the Bravests on their heads, all we need to do is wait for another chance to pull the trigger."

Arthur burst out laughing and stood up.

Then under Old Gray's surprised gaze, he came to the floor-to-ceiling window behind him. It was already evening. Except for some sporadic lights outside the window, only a few moving light spots could be seen in the large tobacco fields outside. It was the light from the moving kerosene lamps held by patrol officers.

Arthur just looked at it quietly for a while, then he turned around and said to Old Gray:
"Mr. Gray, what would you do if I shot you dead right now?"

"you?!"

Arthur looked at Old Gray with an expression as if he had eaten shit. His mood instantly felt much more comfortable, and then he continued:
"Don't get excited, this is just an example. Look, you haven't really seen me being impolite, so don't continue to tell me these pretentious words that seem powerful and make some sense. ,OK?"

Old Gray didn't expect that Arthur would dare to be so presumptuous to him. What he didn't expect was that he could see that Arthur, who just said he would kill him with one shot, was not entirely joking.

No matter what, Old Gray is enough for the city. Although his face is not very good-looking, he still said in a calm tone:

"I'm trying to convince the manager of Lemoyne State Bank to let him take back half of the Brewster family's largest loan in exchange for their plantation and land mortgages. If possible, I will I hope you can put some pressure on the manager."

Arthur nodded, then threw the burnt cigarette butt in his hand on the carpet under his feet, stomped it out carefully and said:
"Look, don't you know how to speak well? Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Arthur walked towards the door after speaking, halfway he stopped suddenly, and continued :
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Gray, although you have sent more patrols after being set on fire last time, I suggest you plan their patrol routes carefully or add more people. Now, If I were to come, I could find at least a dozen ways to burn this place down. And if I was in a good mood, I might even light a fire for your house. Please be careful, respect. old, Gray, sir, then I will take my leave."

When Arthur finally closed the door and left the study, the sound of breaking glass was immediately heard from inside the room. Charlie, who was waiting outside the door, also heard it. Then he made an unprecedented joke and said:
"Are you so angry with him?"

Arthur shook his head and said:
"No, at most half dead. Let's go, go back at this point, you can go have a drink with Aemon and the others, we still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

During this time, Eamonn and the others not only destroyed the Bravest family's moonshining workshop, but also transported back all the moonshining wine and equipment they had brewed.Now that the Bravest family has stopped their bootlegging business, Aemon and the others can take a break.

So tonight, Eamonn and his group were ready to drink the private wine donated by the Bravest family. Originally, Arthur had asked Charlie to keep it and drink with them. He could just come to Gray's house alone, but Charlie disagreed and insisted on coming along.

Until the two left Gray Manor on horseback.

"By the way, Charlie, did you remind them to continue attacking Gray's tavern?"

Looking at Charlie who nodded, Arthur continued:

"Remember not to let them go too far, especially don't set fire, you know! After this, it will be our own family's property, and I am just waiting to use it to sell the Bravest family's private wine stocks."

……

It was late at night, and most of the people in Gray Manor had gone to bed. No matter how angry Old Gray was with Arthur, he immediately implemented his suggestion of adding more manpower to his plantation.

Outside the plantation, two carriages came slowly. While there was still some distance, Dutch said to Miles who was hiding under the tarpaulin behind the car:

"Do you remember clearly the number of guards the Gray family has in the plantation and the general patrol route?"

Miles replied:

"Don't worry, my people and I are very reliable in handling things. But is there really no problem with the people on your side who are responsible for handling the situation? I heard that a lot of people have escaped under you?"

Dutch's face darkened, and he corrected him:

"It's just that some girls have left. You don't need to worry about the reception."

"It's best to do what you said, Van der Linde, but are you sure that what we are going to do next really has something to do with the gold we get?"

Although Miles came with people, he was not satisfied with the explanation given to him by Dutch. He did not understand what setting fire to the Gray family's plantation had to do with gold.

Dutch replied seriously:

"Let me tell you one last time, we are about to get there soon. Now is not a good time for you to question me about this. You just need to believe in my plan. You know, I will not do anything difficult. Something to please.”
