A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 321 No Successor
When Martin arrived at Valentine, Arthur was meeting with Chadwick inside.

"Are you really sure you want to sell the farm to me?" Arthur confirmed again.

Chadwick looked much more haggard now than before. Not only did he not have the high-spirited look before, but he also looked a little sick. In response to Arthur's confirmation again, Chadwick's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. After a while, he slowly nodded and said firmly:

"Yes, Mr. Morgan, I'm sure."

"Can I ask, why did you make this decision? You know, whether it's your debt problem or the conflict with that group of Scots, I can solve it for you?"

Arthur looked at Chadwick in confusion. It was clear that Chadwick had no idea of ​​selling the farm during the most difficult times before. On the contrary, now that things have basically calmed down, he has come up with this idea.

It is certainly impossible to say that there is nothing here that Arthur doesn't know about.

Chadwick nodded. There was nothing to hide from Arthur now. He said calmly:
"Mr. Morgan, I'm very grateful that you are willing to lend a helping hand to me, but you should have seen that I am sick, not only me, but also my wife. You know, we don't have children, which means that when we After death, no one can inherit our property, and this huge farm, which we have worked hard to build for a lifetime, may eventually fall into the hands of the damn bank..."

"... This land was measured by me, and I also cultivated it. I was born on this land and worked my life on this land, but I don't know why, but now I don't want to die on this land anymore. "

It was really disappointing to have no successor. After working hard all his life, he might end up getting cheaper from the bank. Arthur could understand why Chadwick wanted to sell the farm to him.

"Do you need me to introduce you to some doctors?"

"No, I'm going to take my wife out for a walk. After all, at this age, there is nothing to miss."

I have to say that Chadwick's words were indeed a bit heavy. At the same time, they also made Arthur reflect on himself.

……

In the end, Arthur agreed to acquire his farm, but the two of them didn't talk much about the specifics of the acquisition. They just asked Smith to write a contract when the time came.

After sending Chadwick out, Arthur took Martin back into the house.

At this moment, Arthur was still thinking about what Chadwick said just now. He didn't rush to ask Martin what was the matter, but went to pour a glass of wine for the two of them first.

After the two of them clinked their glasses together, Arthur regained his energy and asked with a smile:
"Is everything okay in Saint-Denis?"

"It's okay. Hosea asked when you plan to go back."

Martin hasn't seen Arthur for a while. Now it seems that Arthur hasn't changed much. He still looks like a hands-off shopkeeper.

"It's almost here, so why did you come in person?"

Regarding Arthur's question, Martin took out an autographed letter from Hosea and the resealed material from his arms, and then handed them both to Arthur.

After receiving the material and the letter, the fact that the material was resealed with sealing paint made Arthur realize that this thing seemed to be the reason why Hosea sent Martin to find him. After making sure that the sealing paint had not been opened, Arthur first Putting them aside, he smiled again and asked Martin:
"How are Charlie and Eamonn in Lodz?" Regarding this question, Martin didn't know how to answer it for a while. When the two returned to Lodz, Martin went to see him once, although neither Charlie nor Eamonn were there. Said, but Martin could tell that there must be something going on here since they were 'driven back' to Rhodes from Saint Denis.

Thinking back to what happened in Saint-Denis, Martin had a guess, but he didn't dare to say it. Now, facing Arthur's question, he could only answer objectively:
"It's not good. At least in my opinion, the two of them should still be thinking about why they were driven back to Rhodes from Saint Denis."

Hearing Martin's straightforward answer as before, Arthur smiled and took a sip of the wine in his glass and said:

"You want to know why, why don't you ask Charlie and Eamonn?"

"Their faces were so stinky that I just asked and they were driven away," Martin said helplessly.

He didn't ask. Martin always asked Arthur if he had any questions, let alone Charlie and Eamonn. However, if they didn't tell him, there was nothing he could do.

"Look, this matter is not complicated at all. The reason why Charlie, Eamonn and those employees were transferred back to Lodz is actually very simple. That is, there is a traitor inside us, and he revealed our information inside. Gave it to my enemies."

"..."

Although Arthur's answer was similar to Martin's own guess, he did not expect Arthur to tell him so bluntly.

"Don't look like this. Don't I always answer your questions? Besides, I still trust Charlie and Eamonn." Arthur said calmly.

These words made Martin even more confused. Since Arthur believed in them, why did he ask Hosea to transfer them back to Rhodes when they needed people the most?
After thinking about it, Martin expressed his guess:

"Is there something wrong with the people below Charlie and Eamonn?"

"It's not important, Martin. It's not important anymore who it is. The problem has almost been solved... So, will you go back to Rhodes or Saint-Denis?"

Regarding this issue, Martin was not sure. He said:

"The St. Denis hearing is not over yet. Anyway, I was notified to stay in St. Denis and be ready to attend at any time. I came here because you are not in St. Denis. It is estimated that the hearing will not be held again for the time being. If the Now that the matter is over and you have no other plans for me, I will definitely go back to Rhodes."

Arthur nodded and then said:
"Martin, you are the Sheriff of Rhodes Town now, there is no need to listen to my arrangements."

"Boss? Are you trying to test me?" Martin asked in surprise.

Realizing that Martin had taken his teasing as a test, Arthur couldn't help laughing. He waved his hands and said:
"I see that you have been thinking about Charlie and Eamonn a lot recently. Don't think so much. This is not a test, it's just teasing, do you understand? Hahaha."

Arthur was not in a hurry to see if there was any news for him from Hosea. He thought it was worth asking Martin to deliver it and re-seal it with fire paint. It was estimated that there were only a few pieces, and no matter which one of them it was, he needed to be anxious. None of them will be Arthur.

"Okay, come to Valentine. Don't be in a hurry to go back right away. Go to the hotel and take a bath later. I heard Malloy and I praise him, saying that the new bath guy who came recently is very good. You can feel whether the feelings are real or not.”
