A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 176
What does it mean to leave chickens and dogs alone?
If Arthur were to answer this question, then he would have to shake all the eggs in this person's house until they turn yellow, cut the earthworms in half vertically, and scald the ant nests five times.

Fortunately, for Vittorio Salvatore, a killer from Italy, this problem is not as complicated as Arthur's. He just simply kills the whole family.

After Vittorio sent Leigh Gray away with a 'gift box', he left Rhodes Town quietly, and then went to join his men who were already ambushing on the road back to Gray Manor.

On the other end, Archibald, who still didn't know what happened in Rhodes Town, had already brought his men to Bravest's manor.

Although Archibald showed his police badge, the Bravest family guards still refused to cooperate. They did not shoot directly because of the police badge. Otherwise, the living Gray family members appeared. In front of them, apart from shooting and swearing, there was no other interaction between them.

In response to this situation, Archibald put away his police badge. To be honest, this was an expected situation. He had already prepared before setting off that things would not go well until he met Catherine Bravest. After all, you can expect Catherine to compromise with the Gray family because she has to consider her family.

But these lackeys?forget it.

Archibald finally shouted with the vigor that a police sergeant should have:

"Get out of my way! I'm here to find your mistress on behalf of the Rhodes Town Police Department. Good dogs don't block the way!"

"Hey, brothers, listen to this old dog of the Gray family barking quite loudly? Why, I didn't have enough bones at home this morning. Did you come to our Bravest house to beg for food?" the leading guard mocked loudly.

The surrounding Bravest family guards burst into laughter, and then they pointed their guns directly at Archibald and the police officers he brought.

Looking at the attitude of the Bravest family guards in front of him, Archibald clearly felt something was wrong. In any case, this time he brought town police officers wearing police badges, and he also acted as a deputy. The identity of the police sergeant appeared, but he wasn't bringing the Gray family's bodyguard?
And the Bravest guards' attitude of blatantly resisting law enforcement, and their lack of fear of misfire...

Something was wrong, very wrong, really wrong, but Archibald didn't know what was wrong.

Archibald signaled the guards on the opposite side to calm down and said sternly:

"Do you know what you are doing now? I am not causing trouble for you as the Gray family. This is official business, understand? You are fighting against the authorities! Think about it clearly, you are doing this to you The mistress is looking for trouble! Now, let us go in, or ask Mrs. Bravest to come out..."

Before Archibald could finish his words, he saw Catherine Bravest, holding a shotgun in her hand and walking slowly toward him, accompanied by several guards.

Just when Archibald felt that the next situation would finally go as smoothly as he had originally expected, after all, Catherine Bravest would definitely not be as confused about the situation as these guards.

Archibald just smiled and said:
"Mrs. Bravest..."

"Boom!"

With the sound of the gunshot and the smoke rising from the muzzle of the shotgun in Kessel Bravest's hand, Archibald was knocked back heavily.

This happened so suddenly that before the policemen behind Archibald could react, they were controlled by the Bravest family guards with black muzzles. The policemen directly He was disarmed.

On the ground, Archibald was spitting out blood, and his bloodshot eyes were full of disbelief. Well, if his face can still be called a face now, and bloodshot eyes are not an adjective, but a description of his current situation. The bloody eyes are an accurate description.

Archibald was not dead. The shotgun in Catherine's hand was not loaded with single-point bullets, but with a shotgun containing almost a hundred tiny steel balls.

At this time, Archibald was like a living hornet's nest. He felt that he was dead but could not die. However, after being shot, the adrenaline in his body faded rapidly, and he began to feel something indescribable to ordinary people. pain.

Catherine looked indifferently at Archibald, who was rolling on the ground and wailing, and said jokingly:
"Mr. Deputy Sheriff, I am standing in front of you now. May I ask, what do you want to see me for?"

"Ah!——! Ah!——!" The thrill of revenge hit Catherine's brain, causing her to start imagining the other Gray family members who would die in her hands next.

Catherine left the wailing Archibald where he was, and then ordered her men to hang all the police officers who had surrendered and had been tied up.

After admiring the death scene of the Gray family being hung up on the tree and struggling slowly and forcefully, Catherine decided not to wait any longer for Gareth and Gerald, who had not yet returned. After promising generous rewards to all his men, he directly took the men, horses and weapons and marched towards the Gray Manor in a mighty manner.

……

"Boss, Archibald led people to arrest Catherine Bravest. There were only two bodies in the police station. He escaped. The only ones who died were Leigh Gray and a small police officer who stayed behind." Meng said standing next to Arthur.

Arthur was sitting in his newly opened tavern at this time. Due to the explosion at the police station, there were no other guests in the tavern except him. Listening to Eamonn's report, Arthur nodded while eating pickles. While drinking beer, he motioned for Eamonn to sit down at the bar. Then he smiled at Susan at the bar and said:

"Ms. Grimshaw, could you please give him a drink too, beer? Or whiskey? Well, beer, thank you."

After Aemon's wine was brought, Arthur asked:
"Martin and the others have set off?"

Eamonn did not touch the beer, but said:

"They have already set off, what do they need me to do next?"

Arthur picked out a pickled tomato from the pickle plate and put it in his mouth. After chewing and tasting it carefully, he swallowed it and said seriously:
"You have visited the explosion site, right? Do you think a time explosive was used?"

"I don't think so. This was a highly targeted assassination. The killer probably used a modified military grenade. After estimating the explosion radius and examining the shrapnel remaining at the scene, I speculated that it was triggered and detonated. And the killer also added a grenade belt.”

Arthur nodded. He noticed that Susan, who was standing at the bar, had a slightly solemn expression after hearing their conversation, so he said in relief:

"Don't worry, Ms. Grimshaw, this has nothing to do with me. I didn't do it. I didn't get involved. This kind of fighting and killing thing, and military grenades were used, hehe, I don’t have such a big hand.”

After listening to Arthur's words, Susan finally felt relieved after knowing that the explosion had nothing to do with Arthur. She was originally worried that Arthur might be involved in some trouble again. Since it was not the case, she spoke about another matter:
"Mr. Pearson came to see me yesterday."

"Huh? He left Dutch, right...that's right, after all, we are all gone."

Susan continued:

"He originally wanted to continue looking for a job as a cook here, but I turned him down."

Arthur said with a questioning look:

"Huh? Why?"

Susan had an expression on her face that said, "You actually asked me why?" She coughed lightly, and then explained tactfully:
"I think the food Mr. Pearson cooks may not be in line with the taste of the guests."

"Hahahaha, you're right, I actually forgot that the food made by Pearson is really hard to swallow." Arthur said very directly, but after laughing, he continued:

"However, we can't ignore him. Has he already left?"
