A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 265 Shocking Secret ([-])

Ended with Mass in the church.

The group followed Mary's coffin to the cemetery.

Because Saint-Denis is located in a low-lying land, there is a risk of flooding in the event of bad weather, so the cemeteries here are all coffins built above the ground.

Arthur still stood silently away from the crowd.

In the drizzle, a figure holding a black umbrella came to Arthur at some point. He looked straight ahead and said:
"Didn't you receive the message I sent you?"

"Isn't Bronte still alive?"

Webster said angrily:
"You clearly really wanted to kill him yesterday!"

"What, it's illegal to think about it? Besides, why should I listen to you? If I remember correctly, I solved the wanted matter with real money. I thought we had settled the matter long ago?" Arthur His face is not very pretty.

Someone was actually watching him last night. No, it should be said that someone was watching him all the time. Otherwise, how could Webster be able to find him accurately every time.

Just listen, Webster warned seriously:
"I said, Bronte can't die, do you understand?"

"Or else?"

The rain seemed to suddenly get heavier. Arthur was soaked in the rain, and Webster held an umbrella. The people who had finished the burial ceremony passed around them. The two stood like two rocks in the sea of ​​people. No one was in a hurry to say anything. Say the next sentence.

When the crowd dispersed, Webster saw someone coming to see Arthur, so he turned around and left. However, the warning in his last glance before leaving was very clear to Arthur.

"Arthur, thank you for your willingness to pay..." Jamie said with a cry.

Arthur shook his head and said comfortingly:

"Be strong. You are already a man, right? Mary will be sad if she sees you like this."

After finishing speaking, Arthur looked over Jamie, and he noticed that Gillis, who was still standing in front of Mary's grave, was still drenched in the rain. Although this guy is a jerk, he still loves him no matter what. Daughter's.

But a bastard doesn't let grief change his bastard nature.

"What should I do Arthur? Mary is gone and I can no longer stay in that home."

"Then live the life you want." Arthur said with a smile.

Jamie looked at Arthur in confusion, the life he wanted?This is really a coveted and unfamiliar word. Arthur continued:

"Do what you want to do, love who you want to love, have a relationship with no regrets, meet the one you are meant to be, get married, start a happy family, and raise your own children ..."

"Arthur...can I really do it?"

Arthur said encouragingly with a smile full of regret:

"Of course, Jamie, you can do it. Don't worry about money. I will send you living expenses on time until you have a stable source of income. Go ahead. The Gillis family's cage is enough for Mary."

Arthur thought Mary would agree with him.

……

Brontë's strategist, Carlo, is not dead.

Now being tied up in Room A04 on the third floor of the Saint-Denis Hotel, with his mouth gagged with rags, he recalls everything that happened last night, and he still can't believe it until now.

How did these people manage to break into a mansion full of guards without firing a single shot, and then capture themselves alive?

Looking at Short who was responsible for guarding him in front of him, Carlo tried to signal him to remove the cloth in his mouth.

Carlo's current idea is very simple, that is, he wants to try it first to see if he can instigate the guard in front of him.

As long as he can escape from here, then he still has a chance.

Unfortunately, Short ignored him most of the time. Even when Carlo indicated with his eyes that he wanted to go to the toilet, Short ignored him.

Waiting until Short was called away, Carlo finally had the opportunity to struggle hard and try to destroy the chair to free himself.

When he came back with something to eat from Short, he saw Carlo who was lying on the ground struggling hard. Seeing that he had wiped off the rag from his mouth, Short said sarcastically:
"Would you like me to lend you a knife? It's faster this way."

"...What exactly do you want?"

Carlo didn't say anything threatening, like you'll be dead if you catch me.

He knew very well that judging from the strength shown by this group of people, the threat was definitely useless. Carlo could only thank these people for having plans for him, otherwise he would be like those who died in the mansion. , and were ruthlessly killed by them. "..."

Unfortunately, except for those mocking words, Short ignored Carlo after helping him get up from the ground again.

It wasn't until Arthur came in from the outside that Carlo finally had someone to talk to. All he heard from Arthur was:
"What's Bronte's secret?"

"..."

Okay, now the silent one has become Carlo.

But Arthur didn't care, and still said simply in the second sentence:

"Pinkerton is targeting Bronte. You can choose whether to tell me or tell Pinkerton."

"..."

"Remember the retired policeman you killed? He was from Pinkerton."

After hearing this, Carlo finally said:
"Pinkerton won't give us any trouble over a member of staff."

Arthur nodded and said:

"So I want to know why Pinkerton is causing trouble for you."

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I killed Carl and all of Bronte's men, oh, not including the children. I just had them hanged up and beaten. Finally, I just blew up Bronte's mansion. Go to heaven, what do you think I should do next?”

Carlo looked at the man in front of him seriously, trying to understand what he wanted. He said:
"Give Angelo a break and I'll tell you."

"I'm just willing to let you go. Bronte is dead."

When Carlo heard this, he laughed a few times and said:
"Then what else do we have to talk about?"

"Well, originally I didn't want them to make too much noise at the hotel. Now it seems that our talks have broken down, right?" Arthur said nonchalantly.

Carlo has always used his head but not his hands, so facing Arthur's indifferent attitude, he suddenly became a little unsure. Although he just tried to guess what Arthur wanted, he failed.

"Wait a minute, tell me what you want? We don't need to be like this. No matter what you want, we can talk about it?"

Arthur, who had turned around and was about to leave, turned back and said:

"Whatever I want, I will get it myself. Talk? I gave you a chance just now. Now, I will give you one last chance to answer. When I leave this door, you will never see me again. I ensure."

"You wouldn't want to know."

"tell me the story?"

"You should know that the people behind Pinkerton are senior officials of the Department of Justice, right?"

Hearing that Carlo was willing to speak, Arthur sent Short away.

After Arthur and the others were left alone in the room, he signaled Carlo to continue.

“As an Italian, I can’t help but lament the two-party politics in this country.”

Arthur reacted quickly, and he instantly realized that this seemed to be not just a matter between several departments, but an issue involving two parties?he asked:
"Bronte was the middleman? And what was he involved in?"

Carlo smiled proudly and said:
"Do you know the Union Railroad Company?"

Of course Arthur knew about the Union Railroad Company, a company that transformed the United States from a nation in name only to a truly complete nation in a real sense.

Just listen to Carlo continue:

"What you are going to hear next is a corruption insider involving the United Railway Company and the authorities, which may amount to tens of millions of dollars..."

Arthur reached out and interrupted Carlo, and asked the question he was most concerned about now:

"So far, if what you said is true, then why can you survive?"

In Arthur's opinion, if a word of what Carlo said was true, then they should not be here now, but should be sunk into the river.
