A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 252 Pearson’s marriage news
"What? Are you getting married??"

Arthur looked at Pearson standing in front of him with a look of surprise.

"Hey." Pearson said with a smile while scratching the few hairs left on the top of his head:

"I'm quite surprised myself, but it's true, Arthur. It feels like a dream to me now."

On the side, Sean, who had a rare break today and didn't have to go to the bar to wash glasses, curled his lips and complained mercilessly:

"I really don't know what she saw in you."

What do you say about our Tigers of Van der Linde!

Arthur glared at Sean, then said to Pearson happily:
"This is a good thing. Is the other party a native of Rhodes? How old is it?"

Happy to be happy, Arthur felt that he still needed to check for Pearson.

Arthur was also very curious about what the other party was interested in Pearson.

Fortunately, our Pearson is not really stupid. He knew that Arthur asked this because he was worried about whether he was cheated, so he said:

"Don't worry, Arthur. I've already met her family. She's a widow with a child, but she's really nice. Don't worry about me. I just heard that you returned to Rhodes. It's just a good time. We are planning to hold a small wedding in two days, so we will invite you friends to have a drink together, hehe."

Hearing that the woman was a widow with a child, Arthur immediately felt relieved. It's really not that Arthur was prejudiced against widows with children. There are too many such situations nowadays. What kind of situation does a man encounter when making money outside? It's gone, leaving orphans and widows, what can they do, or they can only find another man.

Arthur didn't say any more, but after sincerely wishing Pearson, he said generously that he would definitely prepare a big gift.

Pearson waved his hands and said awkwardly but happily:

"Forget the gift, just get here. I still have to borrow the money from the grocery store. Don't worry, I will pay it back soon. By the way, you don't have to bring food over by then. I've already paid for it." Ready."

Arthur looked at Pearson, who finally ushered in spring, and couldn't help but said:

"Pearson, I don't mean anything else, but do you really don't need to bring food?"

"Hahaha, no, no, no, my wife's craftsmanship is very good, she can compete with what I have."

If so, Arthur would be even more worried.

Finally, after several people joked for a while, Pearson left to inform others.

……

The office that Arthur was in before in Rhodes town has now become a business point of Blackwater River Company. Arthur is processing some documents in the small office left for himself, while Sean is thinking about it. He looked like he had something to say to Arthur but couldn't find a chance to speak.

Of course Arthur noticed it, but he deliberately didn't ask.

Not long after, Martin pushed the door in from outside. After greeting Sean, he handed a newspaper to Arthur and said:
"Boss, Saint-Denis has become a mess."

Arthur did not rush to get the newspaper, but smiled and said to Martin:
"When did you come back? Did the arrest of the prisoner go well?"

Martin sat next to the sofa where Sean was sitting, then waved his hands and complained about the sergeant's job:

"It's going smoothly, but it's not interesting at all. These prisoners don't resist at all. Boss, it's really boring!"

"Huh? It's not good if you don't resist. Do you have to compete with the criminal in your marksmanship to be happy?"

Arthur shook his head helplessly while listening to Martin's complaints. He really didn't know what to say. He picked up the newspaper Martin brought on the table, and the top one was hung on the street lamp and typed. The photo of the 'tie' immediately caught Arthur's eye.

There is also a piece of news in the corner claiming that Iraq is rich in oil resources and emphasizing that these resources are easy to extract and can bring huge profits to investors.

Arthur took a detailed look at the news describing the gang brawl in Saint Denis. It seemed that Ryan was doing a good job.

Arthur asked Martin: "Is there any news from the Investigative Committee?"

Martin nodded and said:

"I heard that you have arrived in Saint-Denis. I have also received a notice to cooperate with the investigation. I estimate that someone will come to you for questioning soon."

Arthur thought Martin had received a message from someone who stayed in Saint Denis, but he didn't expect it to be a notice to cooperate with the investigation?

"What is the notice to cooperate with the investigation?"

"I don't know either, but it seems that I was also included in the investigation?"

This didn't make sense, Arthur stood up from his seat, picked up the hat hanging on the coat rack, and prepared to visit Judge Meredith Holden in advance.

Before leaving, Arthur told Martin:

"You will send a telegram to Valentine in a moment and get Lawyer Smith."

"Okay, so is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Martin asked.

Arthur didn't think much, and replied directly:

"Pay attention to the balance between work and rest? If you have nothing to do, go to the tavern to relax. I heard them say that you are a little too tight, Martin."

This is not what Arthur said casually, but what Charlie and the people who stayed in Rhodes Town told Arthur. They said that Martin was not only chasing fugitives every day, but also looking for bounty targets nearby. He almost never left except for work. police station.

By the way, the new police station has been rebuilt on the original site, and it has been expanded to both sides.

The main addition here is the location of the cell, otherwise the original size would not be able to hold the people Martin captured.

When he came outside, Arthur untied the rope from the wood where the horse was tied, and was about to get on the horse. The veteran who saw Arthur behind him with a broken leg came forward to say hello:

"Mr. Callahan, long time no see."

"Ah, hello, what's the matter?"

Arthur was not in a hurry to get on the horse, looked at the veteran with a broken leg who hadn't changed much from before, and looked at his more worn-out clothes, Arthur frowned and said:

"Do you need me to provide you with a job?"

"No, no, I'm old enough. I think work is not suitable for me... I just want to give me some money."

Smelling the smell of alcohol on the veteran's body, Arthur said seriously:
"I can give you a simple job. The income may not be high, but at least you don't need to reach out to others?"

"..." The veteran with a broken leg was silent for a while, then smiled awkwardly, and said:
"Hey, I won't bother you anymore. Have a nice day, Mr. Callahan."

Arthur nodded to the veteran who turned away and said nothing more.

It seems that for a person who is used to reaching out to live his life, others cannot help him lift up his spine.

Without thinking too much, Arthur got on his horse.

Sean stood at the door, with the same expression on his face that he wanted to say but didn't speak. Of course Arthur saw it, but he finally pulled the rein and rode away without asking.

It's not that Arthur doesn't care about Sean any more, but that there are some things, if the other party finds it difficult to ask, then it's better not to take the initiative to ask.

Experience told Arthur that if he asked, it would be his own trouble.

But now, he has other more important troubles to solve.
