A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 42 Movement in Cornwall
Cornwall Refinery second floor offices.

Mr. Leviticus Cornwall was sitting at his desk, looking carefully at several personal letters in front of him.

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Cornwall's assistant pushed the door in from the outside and whispered:
"Mr. Cornwall, we have captured the man responsible for robbing your train, Colm O'Driscoe."

Slowly put down the letter in your hand.

Cornwall raised his head, took off his glasses and said:

"Bring it in."

Soon Colm was carried into the office by two Cornish men.

"Ah, Mr. O'Drisco, we finally met. I have been thinking about what gave you the courage to rob my assets. I have heard of your reputation, which can be said to be infamous. But I really didn’t know that you were actually ‘blind’?”

Faced with Cornish's harsh ridicule, Colm's face was hurt at this time. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he still said unconvinced:
"Mr. Cornwall, I was so flattered to hear you say that. I didn't expect that a little person like me could actually get into your ears. I thought you only paid attention to those generals or the upper class. Gentlemen, and not a nobody like me?"

Cornwall seemed to be particularly chatty today. He looked at Colm with interest for a long time before he said:
"You're right. A pebble in a stinking ditch like you is not worthy of my attention normally. However, you have to know that I am a gentleman who loves reputation. When you reach my status, People really don’t care about wild dogs like you digging for food on the roadside. But that doesn’t mean I will tolerate wild dogs like you pooping and peeing on my head.”

"It is unacceptable to me to allow you to live on my reputation."

Hearing what Cornwall said, Colm laughed loudly until Cornwall's man next to him punched him in the stomach. Only then did Colm stop. He raised his head and looked at him with a malicious look. Looking at Cornwall, he said in a reluctant tone:
"Then you really have found the wrong person. I didn't steal your train."

Cornwall looked at him with interest.

Colm continued:
"Of course, that's not to say that I'm not interested in your train. I don't care that it's your Cornish train. I did intend to grab it, but unfortunately I failed."

"Honestly, it's really funny to see how smug you are now. After all, the people who really robbed you of Cornwall are still out there laughing loudly at your stupidity. They will be preaching in the bar about how easily you can do it. Just believe their lies, they may be laughing at you right now, but you are just like what they laughed at, standing in front of the wrong people and showing off."

"Believe me, soon everyone will know that you Cornish are nothing more than a rich fool who allowed the man who robbed you to walk away unscathed."

Cornwall's smile faded and Colm continued:
"And you, Mr. Cornwall? The Cornwall sign that you care about most, at this moment, has arrested an innocent person because of the mistakes of your men, and you are here to take the blame? Is this how you treat it? The biggest humiliation, although I don’t want to admit it, is that it was really not what I did.”

After listening to Colm's words, Cornwall did not believe it immediately, but at this time doubts arose in his heart.

He stared directly at Colm, his eyes no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before.

Cornwall was not a man easily moved by words, and it didn't matter to him what was said.

He had to see the evidence.

He would never accept being fooled. He turned to look at his assistant and asked:

"Did you find my bonds?"

The assistant on the side shook his head.

……"are you sure?"

Arthur handed Charles a cigarette, and he looked very tired.

Charles took the cigarette and put it behind his ear and said:

"Definitely, if we want to save Sean, we must hurry up. He will be sent to prison soon. Blackwater Town is now full of Pinkerton detectives. I only dare to ask outside, but I am sure The news is correct."

Arthur asked for two glasses of water and was looking at the water in his own glass and thinking about what to do next.

Arthur was not surprised by Detective Pinkerton’s persistent search. He said:
"You know, we made a lot of money during our stay in Blackwater Town."

Charles nodded and said:

"There's nothing we can do but leave the money there, but I don't think they found the hidden money."

It would be great if they were found. If they were found, they probably wouldn't continue to search for them in such a big way.

Arthur thought for a while and said:
"So why didn't they just hang Sean?"

This is unreasonable. Since the bounty hunter has negotiated a price with the authorities, the only outcome for people like them is to be hanged.

Of course, Arthur just suspected that there was something wrong here, and he was still very happy that Sean was not hanged directly, even though Sean was a little Irish bastard.

"I think maybe it was a decoy, and if not, I guess they were going to publicly execute him."

Arthur thought about it and felt that Charles's judgment was most likely correct. Regardless of the reason, Sean was not hanged directly but prepared to be transferred to prison. This gave them a chance to rescue Sean. .

Arthur asked again:
"So why didn't you go back to the camp and instead came here to find me?"

Charles looked at Hosea, who was sitting alone smoking, and said:

"Didn't I meet Hosea on the road? He said he was coming to find you, so I told him the news directly and didn't go back to the camp. I had to rush back to Blackwater Town to keep an eye on it, so I just talked to Hosea by the way. Come here, prepare to repair it directly here. Arthur, we are very pressed for time, no matter what the situation is, it has only been these two days, I have to keep an eye on it. "

Arthur patted Charles on the shoulder. He didn't say anything more about this reliable man, but just told him to rest here. Since there is a chance to rescue Sean, they will meet him as soon as possible, and then go together Get Sean back.

Arthur didn't think there was anything wrong with his decision. After all, Dutch had directly expressed his intention to save Sean at that time. He would go back with Hosea to tell Dutch later, and then make a detailed plan.

Nothing should happen.

Arthur sent Charles away.

When I came back, I saw Hosea sitting there, putting out a cigarette, and then lighting a new one.

Looking at Hosea smoking alone and waiting, Arthur had already begun to wonder why Hosea wanted to talk to him alone.
