A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 257 Oranges
"Are you sure your father is here?"

Arthur followed Mary to a stable in the dock area.

"Yes, Arthur, I'm sure. When he went out today, he told me that a man of his status should not ride an old horse, so he came to buy a new one."

As Mary said this, she reached out and opened the small door on the stable door, and then motioned to Arthur to wait outside while she went in first to see what was going on.

Arthur stayed outside noncommittally. He took out his cigarette case and patted it, preparing to smoke a cigarette.

Across the street, a vendor pushing a cart and selling fruit attracted his attention.

"Selling oranges, selling oranges, big, sweet, high-quality oranges."

I saw a woman with a collapsed vegetable basket. She was asking the vendor about the price of oranges in front of the stall. Suddenly, two men in black windbreakers with lowered hat brims walked towards her out of the corner.

Looking at the hands of the two men in their arms, Arthur immediately realized what was going to happen next. Although he didn't know why the two men wanted to attack a woman who was shopping for vegetables, he was still busy He opened his mouth and shouted:

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

This loud shout made the two men in black trench coats realize that they were exposed, but they did not turn around and leave as Arthur imagined. Instead, they took out the guns hidden in their arms and aimed at the target and fired.

It's too late, it's too soon.

When Arthur saw the other person pulling out a gun and pointing it at the woman in front of the stall, he already drew his gun and fired. He groaned in anger, accurately hitting the guns in their hands.

Next to Arthur, the sweeper who was about to open his mouth to drive away Arthur who was blocking the stable door was completely stunned by this scene.

Likewise, this scene also frightened Gillis, who pushed the door angrily out of the stable, and Mary, who chased after him.

As the target of the killer, the woman carrying the vegetable basket was also frightened by this incident, causing the oranges in her hand to roll to the ground unconsciously.

She didn't slow down until the two gunmen who wanted to kill her with guns had already run away.

"Ma'am, are you all right?"

"Ah, thank you, thank you, I'm sorry, I still can't figure out what happened just now..." Mrs. Capo looked at Arthur who stepped forward to ask with gratitude.

Arthur wanted to ask Mrs. Capo if she knew what was going on, but apparently, she didn't know anything.

So after being forced to accept a bag of oranges as a thank you gift, Arthur returned to Mary and Gillis, who were still standing there in a daze, and said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Gillis."

"Arthur Morgan?"

Gillis, who was already a little drunk, became sober after witnessing what happened just now.

Gillis looked at the familiar faces in front of him. He was about to say something sarcastic, but suddenly he remembered the news in the newspapers these days. Arthur Morgan was Arthur Callahan, and Arthur Callahan was now Became a wealthy industrialist...

Thinking of this, although Gillis was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to say:

"Morgan...sir, do you have any advice?"

Arthur looked at the old man who hated him the most and always said he was a 'criminal' or 'bastard' when he called him sir. He smiled and said:

"Mary told me that Mr. Gillis was in some trouble, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help." Listening to Mary telling Arthur about her embarrassment, Gillis said angrily:

"Trouble? What trouble can I have? Haha, Mr. Morgan is now rich, but what does this have to do with me? Don't forget, I know what kind of person you are. Don't look at the clothes you are wearing now. You're a bitch, but you're still the same criminal! Don't think I don't know, it's been said in the newspaper! You're still a criminal! Do you hear me clearly?!"

"Dad...what are you talking about?!" Mary anxiously tried to persuade her father not to be like this, but Gillis shook his hand away.

Gillis taunted loudly:

"Don't hold me back, you shameless thing. It seems you have met your criminal again. Look at his expression. What, is he going to kill me?"

There is no doubt that Arthur's expression is very ugly now. I thought that this old bastard finally realized what a big mistake he made by driving him away from his daughter. What happened?
Not to mention that he was originally prepared to help, he was so good, he spoke like a criminal, and his tone was exactly the same as before. It can only be said that Arthur has not been treated like this for a while, and now he really He was a little angry, so his words were no longer polite, and he said:

"Mr. Gillis, I think you also know what a disgusting old bastard you are. You are obviously doing those dirty things, but you still think you are superior to others. Wake up, open your eyes and look at you." jacket and that funny top hat of yours, put down your damn airs, and thank Mrs. Gillis for giving you a wonderful daughter! You damn fellow!”

After saying these words, Arthur realized that he had somewhat lost his temper.

No way, a person's old scars will never be healed, they will only be hidden deeply, but when the wound is opened again, you will find that it may become more serious.

Arthur's old scars have now been uncovered.

"Arthur?" Mary looked at the two men she loved most with a headache. She was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. She could only persuade her father:

"Dad, he is here to help you, you can't go on like this!"

"Huh? Help me, help me put a bullet in my head, and then you can take our family's property and run away with this damn criminal. Are you going to embarrass me again?!"

Arthur couldn't stand listening anymore. He gave Gillis a loud slap on the face and reached out to stop the panicked Mary. Arthur grabbed Gillis's collar and said in a bad tone. said:

"Show me some respect for your daughter. I swear to God, if your daughter didn't still love you as a father in her heart, I would definitely kill you with one shot and then apologize to her."

"..." Looking at Arthur's cold eyes, Gillis turned his head away. He pushed Arthur away with his fat hands, and then walked away without looking back, still shouting:

"Leave the hell out of me, get out of here, you bastard. What's the use of a daughter?..."

Mary on the side was extremely sad, but she still said to Arthur:

"Please, Arthur, we can't ignore him, let's follow him and take a look, okay?"

Arthur handed the bag of oranges in his hand to Mary and said helplessly:

"Let's go, who knows what stupid thing he's going to do after drinking like this."

"Oh, Arthur, thank you, but can you please stop choking him? You don't know, he has been having a hard time during this time..."

Arthur walked in front, following Gillis who was swaying in front of him, and while rearranging a smile, he replied to Mary:
"It's comforting to hear you say he's had a hard time."

Does this old bastard have a hard life and deserves sympathy?Totally not worth it.
