A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 209

After finishing what he did last night, today, in the name of thanking his fellow villagers and friends for their support at the hearing yesterday, MacLeody invited them to his home as guests.

"Father, is there really no problem?" McLeody's son asked worriedly.

In the kitchen, McLeody touched his son's head, handed him the plate in his hand, and replied:
"Don't worry. As long as everything goes well today, nothing will happen later. Go ahead and help carry out the dishes. Trust me, with so many people here, nothing will go wrong."

The boy nodded convincingly, and he obediently carried the plate outside. Since McLeody invited too many guests, there was no way to sit down in the room, so he placed the venue for the banquet outside.

The atmosphere of the entire banquet was very good. The boy who came out with the dishes smiled and was about to say hello to an uncle he knew. The dust flying in the distance made him frown.

"Hey, look, what's going on?"

Others at the banquet also noticed the crowd of people riding horses not far away.

The more alert people had already put down their glasses and pulled out their guns, but most people were just watching, preparing to wait until the visitor stopped before asking them their purpose.

After all, there are so many people here, even if they are looking for trouble, you have to think carefully about it, right?

At least that's what those who were just watching thought.

But unfortunately, Chadwick had no intention of talking at all. After approaching on horseback, he directly raised the shotgun in his hand, and then shot the nearest fat man with Scottish appearance.

"Bang! Bang bang—!"

As Chadwick's gunfire rang out, the cowboys behind him dispersed and shot at the fleeing crowd one after another.

"McCrawdy! You bitch! Get out of here!"

Chadwick shouted. He pulled the reins and rode the horse in a circle before stopping. On the horse, he looked around for the main target of this revenge.

inside the house.

Listening to the loud gunfire outside, MacLeody carefully looked out through the kitchen window. He immediately noticed Chadwick who was riding a horse and shouting, looking for him.

MacLeody did not hesitate. He picked up the rifle he had put aside and took aim at Chadwick.

"boom!"

The shot missed and the bullet killed Chadwick's horse.

Seeing Chadwick fall off the horse, MacLeody cursed "Damn it," then grabbed his wife who was lying on the ground and shouted:

"Go, keep your body low, and take your son out of here through the back door!"

Outside the house, the Scots who had fled before started to fight back. They didn't care what the situation was now. They only knew that someone attacked them at their banquet, so they had to fight back.

……

Arthur and Sean walked out of Valentine Station carrying a lot of things.

Sean said calmly:
"Arthur, please arrange something for me to do anytime. I'm going to be bored to death."

Arthur sighed unconsciously after hearing this and said:
"Is it because I didn't arrange something for you? Okay, okay, if you have nothing to do, go and join Sadie, and I can help you say hello to Charlie?"

"No, I heard that Sadie is almost becoming a tyrant in the 'recruit camp'. I don't want to be that woman's little brother."

Hearing this, Arthur smiled. This was not Sean's nonsense. He was going back to Rhodes Town to hold an 'induction ceremony' for the first batch of employees who had completed training. During this period, there was something about Sadie. He had heard a lot of rumors.

Some people gave her the nickname 'Valkyrie', some others insulted her, even Charlie and Arthur praised her for the first time.

Seeing that Arthur ignored him, Sean continued:

"Arthur, if it doesn't work, I'll follow you and be your bodyguard?"

"Get out!" Arthur was not polite. He slapped Sean on the head with the hand that was not holding anything and said:

"I need you to be my bodyguard??" The two of them returned to the office talking and laughing like this. As soon as they entered the door, Marybeth hurried forward and said to Arthur:

"Arthur, Chief Malloy just left. He seems to have something urgent to ask you."

"Okay, I see."

Before he sat down in the office and put away his things, Arthur and Sean, who wanted to follow him as his bodyguard, came to the Sheriff's Office.

"Arthur! You're back, something happened." Malloy said with a heavy face. He pulled Arthur, who had just entered the door, to a chair and sat down, and then said:

"McClaudie's wife and son are dead."

"I didn't do it." Arthur responded reflexively.

Good guy, the conflict between me and him is not to this extent, and this pot cannot be placed on his head.

Malloy frowned and said as if what are you talking about?

"I know, I know, it wasn't you, it was Chadwick."

"what?"

"Chadwick did it!"

This time Arthur was confused again, why did he get involved with Chadwick?

Seeing Arthur's confused look, Malloy had to tell Arthur the whole thing from the beginning.

After listening, Arthur also frowned like Malloy before and asked:
"How could such a simple thing end up like this? So, where is the Chadwick man now?"

"He fell off his horse and broke his arm at old Nellie's."

By the way, after Chadwick fell from the horse, his arm was immediately broken because he used his hands to support the ground. However, Chadwick was also a ruthless person who could not be seen in ordinary times. He just took advantage of the situation and lay on the ground, facing forward. Looking for whoever shot him.

At this time, Chadwick saw Mrs. MacLeody who was crying and wailing outside the door holding her son's body. Without hesitation, he shot her several times and killed her.

There is no such thing as showing mercy because the other person is a woman.

Chadwick came this time with the idea of ​​killing MacLeody's family.

Inside the house, his wife had not returned with their son. McLeody leaned down worriedly and looked for the door. The gunshots outside were still ringing one after another.

"McClaudy! Get out of here, you incompetent villain who only dares to play tricks behind your back! What?! Your wife and son are dead, why are you still keeping your head down!"

I have to say, Chadwick's scolding was so heartbreaking.

It just so happened that McLeody also saw the bodies of his wife and children at the door. He knelt down directly on the ground. With his eyes red, he let out a roar full of pain and anger, and acted like everyone. When he thought he was going to give it all, he turned around and left here resolutely.

"So MacLeody ran away?"

"Yes, he ran away. According to the people who survived, they saw McLeody leave through the back door," Malloy said.

After Arthur put out the cigarette butt that was burning to his butt, to Malloy's surprise, he did not care about MacLeody anymore, but asked:

"Are you going to arrest Chadwick?"

"You know there's nothing I can do, Arthur, everyone knows this now."

Malloy really has no choice. After all, he is still the police chief. Even if he wants to, this kind of blatant cover-up will not work.

If he really covers up this kind of evil deed of killing 'the whole family', how can he be the police chief in the future?
Seeing this, Arthur stood up. He already understood everything. He finally said:
"Okay, I understand. Just do what you have to do. Don't forget to send out MacLeody's arrest warrant. As for Chadwick, I'll go see him first."
