A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 391 Years of Friendship

"Mr. Morgan, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will take you back. It is illegal to duel in private, and you also caused the death of the other person, which is a felony," the Sheriff said.

"There was no duel. There was no duel. Nemancha just attacked Arthur, and when Arthur defended him, he died accidentally." Linda said before Arthur could speak.

"you are?"

"I am Linda Vincent, the fiancée of the deceased Nemancha Beckman. I think my testimony should be credible, right?" Linda said loudly.

Then she added:
"The deceased is Nemancha Beckman, and that is his son." She pointed at the old Beckman, and the implication was very clear. How could the accusation of a father whose son was dead be credible?

"This..." The Sheriff was a little embarrassed. To be honest, it wasn't that he was really a good and impartial Sheriff. In fact, after receiving the report, he came to the scene and found that the person who died was the heir of the Beckman family. The person who reported the crime was the patriarch of the Beckman family, and this incident also happened at the Vincent family... No matter what the police chief thought, he felt that it was best for him to handle this case according to formal procedures. After all, this is the only way, what happens later? If there is any problem, he will not be involved or be resented by someone he cannot afford to offend.

"You're lying! Damn it, is this the daughter raised by your Vincent family?" Old Beckman was so angry that his dignity made him admit that it was his son who attacked Arthur. At this time, Linda was in front of In front of everyone, he used his identity as Nemancha's fiancée to give perjury to the man who killed Nemancha.

At this time, Brydon Vincent, who had been watching and silent since just now, spoke.

"I can also testify that there is indeed no duel. The whole thing is just a tragedy caused by a conflict. Please go to the police chief."

After saying that, Brighton signaled his servants to send the sergeant away.

Old Beckman looked at Brighton in disbelief. He did not take his eyes away from Brighton until the police sergeant and the police officers were sent away by Vincent's bodyguards.

"Beckman, I don't want to make too many comments about this tragedy, but you have to admit that Mr. Morgan cannot be entirely blamed for Nemancha's death."

"Heh, haha, what else? Do you want to say that it's all the fault of Nimancha himself?"

Old Beckman laughed sadly, losing his only son, and seeing his old friend abandoning him in front of his face. Old Beckman felt a little angry for a moment. If his bodyguards behind him hadn't supported him in time, he almost couldn't stand still. .

"So, since there's nothing going on, I think it's time for me to go?" Arthur said after watching a good show.

Although I don’t know why, Brayton finally chose to speak up and stand on his side, but after watching the play, there is no point in staying here anymore.

The reason why a bodyguard was able to stop him just now was mainly because Arthur was worried about the trouble he might run into with Linda on the way back. Now, Arthur had already seen Carmen coming back with his people not far away. .

"Arthur Morgan, this matter is not over yet." Old Beckman, who forcibly got rid of the support, looked at Arthur fiercely and said.

"Of course, Mr. Beckman, I look forward to it."

Finally, Arthur took Linda and left Vincent's manor surrounded by Carmen and a group of people.

"Father, what on earth do you think?" Lonnie couldn't understand why Brighton would behave so inconsistently.

Brighton stood at the door, looking at Linda who left with Arthur. He watched them leave motionlessly, and then answered:

"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what Beckman thinks. Don't be idle and stop all the business we cooperate with them."

"I thought our two families had been friends for many years?" Lonnie said in surprise.

"Although broken friendships can be restored, they can no longer reach the level of intimacy, and barely maintaining friendship is the most embarrassing. Lonnie, do you think Beckman will not offend us about this? No matter Linda Anyway, her last name is Vincent."

It can only be said that Brydon Vincent is really a very sober person. Since he is destined to be at odds with the Beckman family, there is no need to offend Arthur again.

After Brighton finished explaining this to Lonnie, he didn't even say hello to the old Beckman. Apart from asking Lonnie to give him a polite send-off, Brighton didn't waste any more time talking to the old Beckman. Say anything else.

... On the other side, Arthur, who left Vincent Manor, rode Linda on horseback, leaving Carmen and the others behind.

"..."

Linda, who was sitting sideways behind Arthur, was quiet. She actually wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. What happened at home just now, whether it was Arthur standing up for her, or He dueled with Nemancha for herself, and everything was rolling in her mind like a picture in a movie.

To be honest, after thinking about it, it really looked like scenes from those beloved novels she had read that she thought were vulgar.

"What are you thinking about? So quiet." Arthur asked.

Linda secretly leaned her head gently on Arthur's back and said:

"Thinking about what happened just now, Arthur Morgan, you can't get rid of me now. If I go home now, my father will probably kick me out directly."

"Is it because you don't even have a fiancé now?" Arthur said with a smile.

Hearing that Arthur was still in the mood to joke with her, Linda reminded:

"Have you forgotten that you promised my father to pay him back the money? How do you plan to solve your financial gap?"

Although Arthur seemed very imposing when he said this to Brighton just now, when Linda really asked Arthur what he planned to do, Arthur really didn't know how to solve it except for a bitter smile.

"Is there a possibility that Mr. Vincent did not take what I just said seriously?"

"Pfft." Linda couldn't hold back her laughter for a while, this guy.

"It's not impossible. Send me back now, and I'll see if I can convince my father to change his mind. If that doesn't work, you can also try to revive Nemancha?"

Listening to Linda joking with herself, she finally regained her previous lively appearance. Arthur controlled the reins and said seriously:
"I've always been curious, why do you..."

After waiting for a long time, Arthur didn't finish his question, so Linda continued:

"Why do you like you?"

"Correct."

"Don't tell you."

"?"

"Want to know?" Linda smiled playfully.

Although Arthur couldn't see Linda's expression behind him, he knew from her tone that Linda must be smiling slyly.

"I want to know what you see in me."

"Hey, I just fell in love with you, and I not only fell in love with you, but also fell in love with you."

"???"
