A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 444 The Last Bullet

The gunfire outside the barn gradually subsided, and there were only a few uninjured people left in the barn.

Fortunately, the fire behind did not spread, otherwise no one in the barn would have survived.

When Arthur entered the barn from the outside, he just glanced at the flying eagle, and then fixed his eyes firmly on Cornish, who was holding Linda hostage.

"Arthur..."

"Don't move! Don't come here! I'm going to shoot!"

Cornwall's threat gave Arthur pause.

At this distance, Arthur was confident that he could blow Cornwall's head off before he pulled the trigger, but doing so was risky.

Arthur didn't want to gamble, he didn't want to gamble with Linda's life.

"Cornwall, do you hear that?"

"Hear something!"

"The gunfire outside has stopped, it's over, it's all over."

As Arthur said, he gave Linda a reassuring smile.

"So what? Arthur Morgan, I haven't lost yet, I still have chips in my hand!"

"Oh?" Arthur smiled mockingly, and then he said:
"I'm not talking about you, Cornwall, but your last bargaining chip is just to drag an innocent little girl to be buried with you?"

"..." Cornwall tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, and after making sure that his finger was firmly on the trigger, he said mockingly:

"Chips are just useful, innocent or not, honorable or not? Is it important?"

"Okay, can you have a cigarette?" Arthur opened his coat, letting Cornwall clearly see the gun hanging in his left gun bag, and slowly reached into his right pocket to take it out. Take out the cigarette pack.

"Stop playing tricks with me. There is no way you can convince me except letting me go." Cornwall said excitedly.

While listening to Cornwall's words, Arthur lit a cigarette for himself, and as the smoke was slowly exhaled from his mouth, he said:

"What will happen if you leave here? Think about it, Mr. Cornwall, think about it carefully."

"No, I can still make a comeback!"

"Ah, you can't. To be honest, you really have to thank me for reaching this point..."

Before Arthur finished speaking, the flying eagle on the side reminded him:

"Arthur, there should be only one bullet left in his gun."

"I understand, Fei Ying, you are not needed here. You take them to help the wounded and others." Arthur found an excuse to drive Fei Ying away.

This guy originally thought he would stay there quietly.

At this moment, Feiying said something that Arthur had already guessed. Apart from making Cornwall, who was already very excited, even more excited, it had no other use at all.

How did Arthur guess that there was only one bullet left in Cornwall, you ask?

Come on, Cornwall and Flying Eagle have been together in the barn for so long without shooting at them, but just holding Linda hostage. Doesn't this explain the problem?After Fei Ying left with his people, Arthur continued what he had just left.

"Hey, where did I just say it? Oh, thank me, yes, Mr. Cornwall, do you think Vincent was the one who tricked you about the stock?"

"..." Cornwall's eyes widened.

"Actually, it's me. Don't even think about it. There are so many people out there. Why would Mr. Vincent go out of his way to find you?" Arthur said, as if he felt that this was not enough to convince Cornwall. The anger completely burst out at himself, and he continued:
"Let me think about it, it should have started with robbing your exclusive train, right? Alas, the securities in your safe really didn't sell for much money. Looking back now, the original pattern was really He was so young that he robbed a train just for a small amount of money."

"By the way, do you remember Cameron? Speaking of which, he is really unlucky. He became your scapegoat, and that wonderful assassination was originally prepared for you..."

"...Let me think about it, by the way, there are also your major shareholders. In fact, some of them choose to believe in you and are willing to pay to help you tide over the crisis. But, how can I allow this to happen? ? I didn’t acquire your debts and claims just to convert them into money, right? So, I convinced them, using various methods, one after another, one after another..."

"Hey, don't be so silent, Mr. Cornish. The District Attorney is still looking for your people. Don't worry, I'm not planning to kill you. After all, your major shareholders still have some feelings for you. Even if not, the feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit also needs to be taken care of. Don’t worry, I have already said hello to the chief judge and prosecutor. As long as you stand in the courtroom, I guarantee that you will never have the chance to escape from prison in your life. Come out..."

Listening to what Arthur said, Linda, who was being held hostage, was stunned. She didn't quite understand what Arthur wanted to do for a while, but she could feel Cornwall not only starting to shake abnormally. When he got up, even his breathing became rough.

However, Arthur still maintained that sarcasm smile, as if he didn't see that Cornwall's whole person was so angry that he was about to erupt.

Looking at Cornwall who was still able to remain silent and continued to hold Linda hostage, Arthur felt that he was still a little overheated.

So he spoke again and said:
"Ah, I almost forgot. I told the authorities about the lack of oil in Wapiti. Alas, I didn't expect that you took so much money from the authorities with such a fake project. Don't worry, wait for you After entering, I will take over all the industries you have built, but, hehe."

Arthur paused, and then said in a sarcastic tone:
"It's just that they have nothing to do with you Cornwall anymore!"

"Hehehe, hahahahaha, Arthur Morgan, Arthur Morgan!" Cornish looked crazy, but the gun in his hand was still pointed at Linda's head, and his finger never took off the trigger.

Just listen, Cornwall gasped loudly because of anger and said:

"You're good, you're really good, haha, do you think you won? Do you think I don't know what you are planning? Wow, I really didn't expect that you really value this Vincent family so much. Girl, do you think I will fall into the trap? Stop dreaming."

"..." The smile on Arthur's face disappeared.

"Stupid self-righteous guy until you die, you will be thrown into the dustbin of history like a piece of rubbish, no one will remember you, no one will remember the achievements of Cornwall, you-!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two shots were fired, one before the other.

Arthur finally waited until Cornish pointed the gun at him. After the gunshot, he let go of the gun in his hand, looked down at Linda, who jumped into his arms for the first time, and said with a chuckle:

"Are you hungry?"

Before Linda could laugh, she felt her face getting wet.

She moved her face away from Arthur's arms, and the blood in front of her eyes and the blood in her hands made her stay there for a moment.

"It's really, really unfamiliar..."

"Arthur?...Arthur! Arthur!!!"
