A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 44 Hosea’s inner thoughts

On the second floor of the hotel, in the private room.

By this time, Charles had left

"Okay, stop smoking, just say what you have to say."

Arthur sat across from Hosea. Even though he knew that Hosea had something to say, Arthur simply asked and stopped pressing him.

Sit quietly and wait for Hosea to speak.

Hosea waited until the whole cigarette in his hand was finished before he slowly said:
"I know why you didn't tell us about the casino. I understand you. I'm very happy that you can see the future and plan for the future. We all know that this industry should have come to an end. What I know is that I have always been I can't see any other way out, and Dutch...Daqi, I think of course he knows it, but he is still unwilling to open his eyes to see other ways out."

Hosea's words are not long, but they clearly express his views on the gang, Dutch, and the future.

I have to say that Hosea saw clearly. In his opinion, Arthur had chosen a new way out for himself.

Arthur was surprised. He didn't expect Hosea to say this, nor did he expect him to say it so bluntly.

After hearing what Hosea said, he took a deep breath.

Since this was the case, Arthur also felt that it was time to properly express some of his thoughts to Hosea. He said in a serious and serious tone:
"Hosea, since you have figured it out, I will tell you directly. If we continue on the road of robbing banks and becoming gangsters, I am afraid that we will all die. You and I both understand that times have changed." ”

"Yeah, times have changed. Dutch and I are getting older, Arthur."

Hosea lit another cigarette and looked at Arthur. He didn't blame Arthur for choosing to leave. Only by leaving would he have a way to survive.

Arthur said:

"So when you come today, I guess even though I haven't told him yet, he already knows."

Hosea nodded and said:
"Daqi...Daqi, I tried to persuade him, but he hasn't figured it out yet. After all, he has to worry about the livelihood of a bunch of people. We are all old guys and can't keep up with the ideas of young people like you." , I will talk to him again."

Hearing what Hosea meant, Dutch was obviously unhappy, and Arthur could understand it, but he felt that Dutch was Dutch after all. Although he might not be able to convince him, money was the issue he was most concerned about. , now that he has been solved by him, there is no need to live by robbery anymore.

Even so, Arthur is still not sure. He knows Dutch very well, but this does not prevent Arthur from giving it a try.

Arthur smiled and said:

"So you're not here to persuade me?"

Hosea also smiled and said:
"What parent doesn't want his or her child to be successful? Ahem, I'm happy that you can leave us and go your own way."

Looking at Hosea, Arthur was very moved and said:

"Who said I was leaving you? I have found a way out for all of us. Don't worry, I will go to Daqi to convince him. He is the person with the most plans. The reason why I told him last is just I want to make some achievements so that I can convince him."

This is the truth. Although Arthur feels that some things Dutch has done wrong, Dutch is Dutch after all, and Arthur doesn't want him to end up in trouble.

Hosea nodded happily. He originally thought that Arthur wanted to leave, but now he found out that he actually wanted to leave. He was very happy and said:

"That's good. If anyone can convince Dutch, then I believe that person must be you."

"So Dutch came with you?"

Hosea shook his head. Dutch was still in the camp when he left. He didn't know that Dutch was actually in Valentine Town now.

……

Behind the clinic, there is a casino.

Under the control of Old Frank's daughter, there was no accident. Cornwall lost completely and was willing to admit defeat. He patted his butt and left with his escort. He only smiled and left one sentence before leaving:
"Mr. Milton? We'll see you later."

Dutch didn't care about the threat in this man's words. He returned the winning chips with a smile, took away his bond, and then asked Kieran where Arthur was. After knowing it, he didn't stay long. Choose to leave.

After winning a lot of money, Kieran took Dutch out the front door in order not to cause trouble.

Leaving from the front clinic.

……

Dutch was in a good mood after successfully defeating the rich. When he found Arthur, he saw Hosea and Arthur chatting.

"Did I come at the right time?" Arthur stood up and pulled Dutch, letting him sit where he was just now and said:

"Da Qi, I was about to go back to the camp to find you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

Dutch sat smoking his pipe and said:

"If I don't come here, I'm afraid I won't know that your casino business is already doing so well."

"Arthur, you and David are my best shooters. David is still lying in bed, and you are leaving me now?"

Dutch's words were also very direct, just like Hosea did before and didn't mince words.

But why do these two people feel that they want to leave?
Arthur is very clear about David's situation. Although he saved his life, he is still bedridden now, which is sad. The original Callander brothers are now dead, and only David is left.

Arthur shook his head and said:

"Dutch, I'm not leaving the gang."

Arthur was always willing to call the gang 'family', although it was a little different from his family, but the feelings in it were something that Arthur couldn't let go of, and he never thought about leaving them behind.

Whether it's before, now, or in the future.

Dutch nodded and acknowledged Arthur's statement. He was silent for a while before speaking again:
"My father died on the battlefield in Pennsylvania. He fought many battles. Did I tell you?"

Arthur didn't know why Dutch mentioned this again, he had heard Dutch tell it many times.

"I've heard it, many times."

Dutch knew he had told these old stories many times.

These past times.

To mention it again is just an introduction.

Dutch looked at the pipe in his hand. Arthur got him this. He liked it very much. Staring at the pipe, he continued:
"I know, Arthur, I'm boring you."

Hosea was sitting aside smoking a cigarette. He felt that now was not the time for him to speak. After hearing what Dutch said, Arthur actually thought about it for a moment, wondering if he was really tired of Dutch?

Arthur didn't think so, and he said seriously:

"I'm more just worried...after all, we have lost many brothers."

Mike, little Jenny...

Dutch looked at Arthur. He could feel Arthur's distrust of him since Blackwater Town and all the way to Horseshoe Lookout. He couldn't tell where it was, but he really felt it.

He was thinking that after all, Arthur was not much like him, he was more like Hosea.

Dutch said:

"Don't forget, Arthur, we have big goals."

"Just like I told you when you were young, we are trying to change society! Make it more tolerant, more real, and better. Since it is a change, the casualties at this stage are inevitable, for us I am also very sad about the brother I lost, but we have to move on."

Arthur thought to himself, you should leave this to Marston, and he said to Dutch again what he had just said to Hosea:
"Now we are clearly just a group of thieves, with no direction, wandering in this world that no longer needs us."

Dutch couldn't refute what Arthur said. He nodded and said:
"I admit that the world we live in is full of these boring and realities. I, Dutch Van der Linde, have always been a dreamer, or we are all dreamers."

"I agree with your statement, but we won't talk about it now. Lenny and Javier brought me the news that something happened to Micah in Strawberry Town. He was arrested and will be hanged..."

Dutch hadn't said anything yet about letting Arthur go rescue Micah.

"Charles has just come back. Hosea and I were going to talk to you about this. There is news about Sean. To put it simply, if we want to save him, we can only save him now when he is about to be transferred to prison. .”

After Arthur heard that Micah had been arrested, he immediately interrupted Dutch, who was about to continue talking, and told Sean's story.

Sean was more worthy of being saved in Arthur's opinion.

Now, whether to save Micah or save Sean has become a question that Dutch has to make a decision at the moment.
