A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 313
It didn't take much effort, and while the train was making a rumbling noise as it passed by, Arthur got directly into the back of a freight carriage that was about to go to the refinery.

"Hey, is that you? Al?" the gun-toting guard standing under the light at the door asked casually.

After Al stopped the carriage at the door, he said to guard Tom:

"Yes, it's me, Tom."

"Coming to pick up the goods?" Tom walked towards the carriage. Arthur, who was hiding behind the carriage, was a little worried at first, wondering if the guards would come in to check.

"Yes, I have to catch the early train to Saint-Denis."

Fortunately, the guard named Tom seemed to be very familiar with Al. When he heard that Al was going to catch the train, he just stood beside the carriage, patted the carriage wheel, and said:

"Okay, then you have to hurry up."

Then Tommy let him go, and Arthur, who was hiding behind, followed the carriage and sneaked into the refinery smoothly.

Taking advantage of the moment when Al parked the carriage and got off to load the goods before returning, Arthur quietly slipped out from behind the carriage, then bent down and sneaked into the second floor of the factory.

Out of a humanitarian spirit, Arthur just strangled the guard on the second floor from behind and hid him in the corner. Then he counted the rooms and found the room where his goal was.

After entering the room, under the surprised gaze of the man behind the desk, Arthur took a chair and pressed it against the door handle, then said with a smile:

"Hey, you must be Danbury."

"Who? What's the matter with you?"

Danbury, who had a mustache, was still a little confused about what was going on, but seeing Arthur's skillful movement of blocking the door when he came in, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Be quiet, friend, we won't spend too much time." As he said, Arthur also kicked the chair with his feet, so that he could block the door more firmly.

"..."

Arthur didn't pay attention to Danbury's silence. He stepped forward and grabbed Danbury by the collar, and then pulled him directly from the table to the ground. Although this way of chatting might be a bit rough, Arthur believed that, As long as the outcome is good, the process doesn't always matter.

"Danbury."

"In..." Danbury sat down on the ground. He stretched out his hands in fear, trying to keep some distance from Arthur, while shrinking back unconsciously.

"My friend, I am sent by Mr. Cornwall. He has heard some very unhappy news..."

"?" Danbury looked a little flustered, but still excitedly explained:

"Misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!"

Arthur smiled, knelt down, looked at Danbury and said:
"Misunderstanding? Then, guess what kind of misunderstanding this is?"

"..." Danbury was silent again. Can this be a random guess?
"Let me remind you, oil field, investigation report, Vapiti, have you figured out what the misunderstanding is?"

Although Arthur himself felt that his smile was gentle, Danbury didn't think so at all. He said with a shudder:

"It's... it's the document... is there something wrong? No need, there's no need for this. If Mr. Cornwall is dissatisfied with anything, he can talk to the company headquarters. There's no need..."

Before Dambree could finish speaking, Arthur stood up and kicked him in the chin. Looking at the hat flying from his head, to be honest, Arthur thought he didn't use too much force. "Oh, Danbury, Danbury, Mr. Cornwall doesn't like liars, and he especially doesn't like being lied to."

Danbury was shivering as he crawled towards the corner. He covered his chin with one hand and waved the other hand wildly from side to side. It seemed to be signaling Arthur not to hit him, and also seemed to be telling him not to get close to him?
However, his meaning was obviously not successfully conveyed to Arthur. Looking at Arthur walking towards him again step by step, Danbury begged for mercy:

"This is what the headquarters means! It's all the headquarters. I'm just an employee. Really, it has nothing to do with me!"

Arthur shook his head as he pulled Dambree up from the ground, then put his forearm against his throat, pressed him against the wall, and asked softly:
"Is this important to Mr. Cornish?"

"No, it's not important..."

"Look, you deceived him. Oil has not been discovered in Vapiti at all, is that right?"

"no no……"

Seeing that Danbury was still trying to quibble, Arthur punched him twice in the stomach, then pushed his head and put him on the ground, then he spoke in a tone that seemed to be caring for each other between friends said:

"Danbury, think about it carefully. You are the person in charge. Think about it carefully. Brother, Mr. Cornwall is very angry. It is not worth losing your head for others."

As he spoke, Arthur approached Danbury who was retreating on the ground. Finally, he retreated to the corner again. Danbury, who had no way to retreat, collapsed and said:
"You, whatever you want me to do...I will listen to you, don't, don't come near me again."

Arthur, who originally wanted to give Danbury another kick, gave up the idea with some regret. He smiled and said appreciatively:
"Smart choice. So, you'd better think carefully about my next question before telling me. Is there really any oil detected under Wapiti?"

"No...no, this is an instruction from the company headquarters. It's all about money..."

Hearing this answer, Arthur really felt innocent for the Wapiti Indians. What does it mean to sit at home and have trouble come from the sky? This is nothing more than this.

Arthur continued to ask:
"Very good, then do you have anything to prove what you said? You have to know that Mr. Cornwall is a man who pays attention to evidence."

Well, after hearing what Arthur said, Dambree thought to herself, you have no fucking evidence, why did you come here and punch and kick me? !What's that? !Thinking of this, Danbury suddenly didn't want to admit what he had just said. After all, Arthur had no evidence!
"..."

Looking at Danbury who suddenly returned to silence, Arthur thought for a moment and then realized that this guy saw that he had no evidence and was going to fight to death.

Thinking of this, Arthur smiled and said:

"This is a really nice floor, isn't it? It wouldn't be good if your brains got splattered on it, Danbury."

After that, Arthur did not hit him again, but in front of him, he ejected the bullets from the revolver, loaded only one round, turned the magazine, and asked him:

"Want to play a game?"

"There is a letter in the second drawer on the left. It is a personal letter from the boss of the headquarters to me. The content in it can prove that there is no oil in Wapiti!"

Well, seeing that Danbury doesn't want to play this game is so strong, it looks like a good man who stays away from gambling.

After all, believing in probability is a very stupid thing.

If you don't want to lose, the best way is not to play, especially when the stakes in this game are his life.
