A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 43 Dutch’s Attitude
It's a little earlier.

Li Dao Village Campground.

"Dutch, Arthur opened a casino in Valentine." Javier said next to Dutch.

Listening to Javier's words, Dutch stood beside him, smoking his pipe and remaining silent.

Hosea is here too.

After listening.

He just smoked and said nothing.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Javier continued calmly:

"You probably don't know about this. I hate to call this behavior a betrayal, but it's obvious that Arthur is doing his own business, not ours."

This is very heartbreaking to say.

Hosea and Dutch had indeed just heard about this from Javier.

Both of them needed time to digest the news Javier brought.

after awhile.

Hosea was the first to speak:
"Javier, don't talk like that, Arthur must have his reasons, and I believe him."

Although Hosea thought about many things, he only insisted on one statement now.

That is, don't jump to conclusions before talking to Arthur.

It's not that Javier doesn't believe in Arthur, it's just that in this matter, Arthur's behavior makes people have to think too much.

In his opinion, this kind of behavior can be called betrayal. Although Javier also wanted to believe Arthur, he also had his own persistence.

Javier looked at Dutch, waiting for him to speak.

Dutch took a drag on his pipe, he really just found out about this.

What to say?He is also very passive.

"I will talk to Arthur. It seems that he has indeed done something behind my back. I think he may really not trust old Dutch anymore."

Dutch said this very well. It sounded to Javier that Dutch did not know about this matter, and Dutch also put the responsibility on himself instead of blaming Arthur.

Even betrayal has been replaced by 'carrying'.

Javier nodded, feeling that what Dutch said was very pertinent.

Hosea understood differently from Javier. He heard the meaning of Dutch's words.

"Dutch? That's Arthur!" Hosea said with a frown.

Dutch held the pipe and interrupted Hosea and said:
"I know, I know! That's Arthur, I...I've been thinking about the failure of Blackwater Town, whether someone betrayed us."

Before Javier could think deeply, Hosea couldn't sit still and said loudly:
"Crazy, Dutch! You are so crazy! How can you say such a thing, I will go to Arthur now, let me talk to him about this matter."

Hosea could hardly believe what he heard.

Dutch was actually hinting that Arthur had betrayed them. Although he didn't say it directly, Hosea heard it.

That's what Dutch means.

Hosea really knew Dutch very well, but he felt that was in the past. Now he knew less and less what Dutch thought. It was obvious that both he and Dutch knew that Arthur would not betray.

So why, why would Dutch say that?
anyway.

Hosea is very angry now, he doesn't want to think about it, and he doesn't want to stay here and listen anymore, he is going to go directly to Arthur and make it clear in person.

Arthur is his child, no matter what, Hosea will choose to believe him unconditionally until the matter is clarified.

Seeing Hosea anxiously leaving, Dutch neither stopped nor said anything more. He thought for a moment and turned to Javier and ordered:
"I will handle this matter. Please help me go. Micah has not returned to the camp for several days. You go and find him to see if you are in any trouble."

Javier nodded and stood up to leave.

At last.

Dach stood alone, playing with the pipe in his hand, and stared into the distance for a long time.

……

Turn the time back again.

Let's go back to the present.

Behind the clinic, the casino.

At this time, a special guest came. Unlike other guests, this person was well-dressed and had many guards.

In the originally lively place, after this group of people came in, everyone became quiet and looked at this place.This group of people is none other than Leviticus Cornish. He came with his escort to listen to Colm's explanation. He said that the group that robbed him is now entrenched in Valentine Town. .

Wait until Cornwall arrives.

It just so happened that he heard that a new small casino had opened here, so he decided to come here first to have a look and to hear whether it was really what Colm said, that the group of people who robbed him were destroying him here. reputation.

Cornwall stayed here for a while.

But he became interested in the way this casino was run.

This casino not only had free drinks, but also had many novel gambling methods. It looked really interesting, so he asked someone to change some chips and planned to play a few games to experience it.

Cornwall first came to a table playing Texas Hold'em Poker, intending to see if there were any new tricks in the Texas Hold'em Poker here.

After Cornwall's escort kindly asked away a guest who was playing, Cornwall took his seat.

The game continues.

Cornwall, who got the card, did not open the card, but casually put all the chips on it.

The other guests at the same table saw this scene and folded their cards one after another.

The next five games were played like this. No one understood that this was not a serious customer, so the other gamblers at the same table left the table one after another.

Seeing this situation, the croupier quietly winked at the employee next to him, and then continued to deal the cards silently.

"It's boring, I thought there was something new..." He complained to the guard beside him. At this time, a waiter came to deliver the wine. Cornish just glanced at it but didn't touch it.

Seeing that no one is willing to continue playing with Cornwall, because of Cornwall's gameplay, others without his money can't win at all.

Among the onlookers, someone couldn't stand it any longer and said loudly:

"Hahahaha, how can it be boring? Let me play a few games with this gentleman."

At this time, I saw the man who had just shouted, a man in a black and red suit, who came up from the crowd and sat down at the card table.

Cornwall looked at the visitor with great interest, and then said:
"Oh? It seems that this gentleman is in a good mood. Come on, I just don't know if you have enough chips."

You have to have the money to serve it on the table.

The person who came was none other than Daqi who came to check alone. Daqi couldn't stand the behavior of the rich man in front of him, but he still said with a fake smile:

"Let's deal the cards. Someone has to educate rich people like you. People like you can't always have the final say."

The croupier quickly activated the cards, and many gamblers gathered around the two of them.

The cards were dealt soon, and Cornwall still didn't look at the cards, so he pushed all the chips into the table and said with a smile:

"Look, if you don't have enough chips, you can't even see the cards in my hand and you have to admit defeat, and I don't even need to know what cards I have in my hand."

Seeing that Cornwall continued to use money to pressure people, he didn't care at all how much he won or lost, he just wanted to win. The other onlookers showed their disbelief, and some impatient ones were already scolding them, not necessarily many. Having a sense of justice is mostly just a matter of disdain for rich people showing off.

It's just that the guards around Cornwall are tall and powerful, which makes them afraid to make mistakes.

Dutch smoked his pipe and pushed all the chips into the table. He didn't look at the cards either, because he had already seen Kieran standing behind the man opposite and winking at the dealer.

at this time.

The original dealer was also replaced by Old Frank's daughter. When Dutch saw Kieran and the new dealer winking, he knew in his heart that he couldn't lose, so he continued to talk to the rich man in front of him:
"The truth is what you said, but there are always people who are not convinced. Look, I just want to try to teach you a lesson."

Dutch didn't recognize Cornwall in front of him.

However, out of hatred for this kind of rich people, Dach only wanted to teach him a lesson. As for the original purpose of coming here, it can be put aside for now.

Cornwall on the opposite side saw that Dutch was going to compete with him, and he was not angry, but just found it very interesting.He hadn't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time, so he asked the guard to change a lot of chips and continued to repeat the previous actions. In response, Dutch frowned.
At the moment, there are people watching all around. Dutch doesn't have much money on him, and it's not easy to ask Kieran to give him money directly now, so as not to be seen to be working with the casino to deceive people. He thought for a moment , with a plan in mind.

Dutch slapped the bonds he had snatched from Cornwall on the table and asked someone to change them for chips.

The casino not only accepts cash, but also collateral. You can exchange money with a simple appraisal, but the bid is usually very low, but obviously Dutch doesn't care.

The other side of the card table.

Looking at the bonds on the table, Cornwall calmly glanced at the codes on them. He immediately determined that these bonds were the ones that were robbed from him. He did not get angry on the spot but asked calmly:
"I don't know yet, what should I call this gentleman?"

Dutch didn't think much, thinking that he was looked at by Cornwall, and said with a smile:

"Milton, Jim Milton."

After hearing this, Cornwall smiled on his face, but cursed in his heart.

Damn Dutch van der Linde.

Cornwall had recognized him.

The game continues.
