A Red Dead Redemption Story

25 Dozed off and sent a pillow

After enjoying the massage service comfortably, Arthur lay down in the tub and relaxed his feet on the tub.

The whiskey provided by the hotel was not that good, but ice cubes were provided, which surprised Arthur a little. However, considering that the railway passed by the entrance of the town and the platform was next to it, it seemed not surprising.

Selling ice cubes is a very profitable business.

Just as Arthur was happily soaking in the bathtub, thinking about messy things, he heard the voice of the boss speaking outside:
"Listen, don't be here...I've already paid the protection fee for this month..."

Hearing this, Arthur quickly sat up from the bathtub. Just as he was about to hear more clearly what was going on outside, he heard a beating, and then another rough voice said:

"Now, can we get the money?"

It can't be said that he gave me a pillow because he was sleepy. It can only be said that Arthur didn't expect that he was really lucky to encounter such a good thing. He quickly got up from the bathtub and put on his clothes in a hurry, for fear of missing it. Arthur didn't even wipe himself with water.

Otherwise, what will happen if people leave after we go out?

Fortunately, when Arthur came out from behind, he saw that the front desk of the hotel was already in a mess, and the hotel owner was sitting on the ground with a bruise on his face and his clothes were very messy. It seemed that it was just the right time. The boss has just been dealt with.

"It's none of your business here, Cowboy, O'Drisco is here to help! You don't want to meddle."

Seeing Arthur, the strong man who came to collect the protection money threatened him, and he did not forget to announce his family name. He must be said to be of high quality.

Arthur smiled and scratched his dripping hair, and said in a tone that seemed very friendly to him:

"Do you think there might be some misunderstanding here? Listen, don't rush into action yet. Your boss, Colm, and I are very familiar with each other. Can't we have a good chat about anything? Why do we have to do it?"

The two members of the O'Drisco Gang looked at each other and looked at Arthur up and down, but they really couldn't remember which of their boss's friends the man in front of them was.

its not right?How can a person like my boss have any friends? ?

Taking advantage of the moment when the two of them didn't react, Arthur quickly stepped forward and fired an electric cannon at the person closest to him. Then without stopping, he picked up the iron horse ornament on the front desk and aimed it at the other person. A person's head was hit with a bang, and within ten seconds, both of them were lying on the ground unconscious.

The innkeeper who was watching from the side no longer looked as happy as when he entertained Arthur before. Seeing Arthur suddenly beating the two people to the ground, his face, which was already bruised and bruised, became even more depressed. After a few minutes, he couldn't stop crying from the side:

"Ancestor, you are my biological father. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? They are members of the Odrisk Gang!"

Arthur looked at the innkeeper in confusion, thinking that you also know that they are members of the O'Drisco gang. These people are wanted criminals. If you see them, you will not go to the police chief and pay the protection fee. He asked :

"Since you know they are members of the O'Drisco Gang, why don't you call the Sheriff?"

The innkeeper shook his head and said:
"They are all in the same group! The Sheriff has been bribed a long time ago and doesn't care at all. I heard that they even have a secret base in the town. Although I don't know where it is, their people are in the town. Businesses have to pay them protection fees, and no one dares to mess with them.”

Hearing what the boss said, Arthur suddenly felt happy. What do you mean by giving him a pillow for sleeping? His gambling business now seems to be half stable.

This is not because the Sheriff is not corrupt, but because he is upright. Since he can collude with the Odrisk Gang, he can also collude with himself.

Arthur neatly tied up the two people on the ground with ropes, not forgetting to gag their mouths at the same time, and then said to the boss who was anxiously spinning around:

"Stop turning around, come here and lend a hand, and work with me to send these two people to the Sheriff's Office."

Hearing this, the hotel owner shook his head like a rattle and said:
"Stop joking, aren't you trying to kill me! When it's over, just pat your butt and leave. They will burn me and the store down."

Arthur smiled and said:

"It's okay. You're under my protection now. When it's all over, I'll give you a profitable business. Besides, it's too late for you to be afraid of death. No matter what happens to you, they will eventually settle the score with you. Yes, after all, being reasonable is not their style?"

"Besides, I was listening inside just now. They were collecting protection fees here and there. It was clearly a robbery. Who has to pay protection fees once and again?" After hearing this, the hotel owner suddenly fell into confusion. Thinking, to be honest, he is really scared now, he was not a courageous person in the first place.

But he also felt that what Arthur said was very reasonable. Although everything in front of him was an unforeseen disaster and he obviously did nothing, he knew that he must have gotten into this trouble. Many times in life, it is not If you don't mess with it, you will be able to live in peace.

This fucking life.

"Well you can call me Blake, at least you should let me know your name before I'm forced to join in this drama."

"Arthur, Arthur Morgan"

"Although it may be a little late to tell now, thank you for your help. You are welcome to the Saints Hotel, Mr. Morgan."

After saying that, the two of them fought against one of them and put the tied up member of the O'Drisco Gang directly on his shoulders.

As soon as he left the hotel, this appearance immediately attracted the crowds of idlers around.

Soon word spread from person to person, and the shopkeepers who knew the identities of the two people being carried followed Arthur and the others one after another after seeing them walking in the direction of the Sheriff's Office.

By the time Arthur left the man at the door of the Sheriff's Office, almost all the idle people in the town had gathered here.

Malloy Curtis, the sheriff of Valentine, is at his desk with his feet up, cowboy hat over his face, taking a nap as the deputy rushes When the earth woke him up, he was discussing God's redemption with his beloved Moira in his dream.

Chief Malloy was awakened from his dream by the deputy chief. His first reaction was to shout angrily:

"What's wrong! Is there something that we can't talk about until I wake up?"

He just thought that some unscrupulous people were bothering him because of something as trivial as the disappearance of his dog.

The deputy police chief said anxiously: "Go and take a look. The townspeople seem to be in rebellion. There are people outside."

These words startled Sheriff Malloy. He didn't even pick up the hat that fell on the ground. He picked up the gun on the table and ran out of the house.

"Hello, Chief. Boss Black and I have captured two wanted criminals. Please check and accept them."

Sheriff Malloy recognized the two people tied to the ground at a glance. Without thinking, he raised his head and spoke to tell Arthur that they had arrested the wrong person and let him go quickly.

Before the words came out, looking at the large group of people behind Arthur, the words that came to his mouth immediately opened his mouth and became:
"Yes, these two are indeed wanted criminals. Deputy Sheriff, please bring them in and lock them up. Now, let's disperse. We just caught two wanted criminals! Why are so many people gathered here? It’s all gone, it’s all gone.”

Seeing that no one had any intention of leaving at all.

Sheriff Malloy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Both of these two are wanted criminals from the O'Drisco Gang. Everyone knows that I, Malloy Curtis, and criminals are at odds with each other! Especially gang members like this who do all kinds of evil!"

The people below were still indifferent and even started whispering. Malloy, who had a good ear, even heard someone saying that he was in the same group with these people and would definitely let them go.

Hearing this, Malloy gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't worry, everyone, we as law enforcement officers will never condone criminals who endanger the safety of the town! Tomorrow at noon, we will publicly hang them on the gallows in the town!"

Finally there started to be sporadic cheers from below, and finally turned into enthusiastic applause under Arthur's leadership. Everyone started to cheer, and of course some of them who were brave or not clear-headed yelled and cursed at the O'Drisco Gang. However, he was quickly stopped by the sober townspeople around him. After all, they only arrested two people, and the gang was not completely wiped out, so they couldn't afford to provoke them.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the matter was finally resolved temporarily, and Malloy managed to persuade the townspeople to disperse. After that, he brought Arthur and Black into the sheriff's office.

As soon as he entered the room, Malloy angrily took off his gun bag, threw it on the desk, turned around and yelled at Arthur and the others:
"What the hell are you going to do!"
