A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 45
Sean or Micah?

This is not a difficult choice for Arthur.

However, it was obvious that for Dutch, this did require choices and trade-offs. He looked at Hosea and said:

"Old man, stop smoking in silence and tell me your suggestions."

Hosea seemed to have just come out of his own little world. He looked at Arthur and then at Dutch, and then said slowly:
"I thought you two were going to argue about something else for a while?"

Dutch shook his head and said:

"Although Arthur doesn't admit it, I understand that he no longer agrees with our common ideals. But I still regard him as my child, and I prefer to think so... maybe he just doesn't know where he is. He got separated from me in a dark snowstorm, but I don't blame him, it's my responsibility..."

Arthur listened to Dutch and looked at him with complicated emotions. Painting cakes can no longer affect Arthur now, but the emotional card?
I have to say, Dutch is really a despicable old man.

Hosea finally made his own suggestion at Dutch's urging. He said:

"Since both of us are saved, let's split up."

Dutch frowned. In his opinion, separate operations must be focused. Instead of making both sides unstable, he actually preferred to save Micah first and then save Sean. After all, Micah was about to be hanged. died, and Sean was simply transported to prison.

Isn't it obvious which is more urgent?Dutch didn't understand why Hosea and Arthur couldn't understand.

"How come Micah was caught? You sent him out to work? Dutch."

Arthur hadn't seen Micah in the camp for a while. He originally thought he was sent out to work by Dutch, but he didn't expect that he was arrested.

"It's not important anymore. What do you think about Hosea's thoughts? Arthur."

Arthur spread his hands and said:
"Although Micah joined us, in my opinion he only brought us a lot of unnecessary trouble. To be honest, I don't like Micah, you all know it. If he was caught for gang reasons this time, I wouldn’t mind rescuing him, but if not, my advice would be to just leave him alone.”

Very reasonable, right?Everyone knows that Arthur doesn't like Micah, and his words once again express his attitude, that is, although he will not affect the gang's decision-making because of his likes and dislikes, his likes and dislikes are clear, and at the same time I made it clear again that if it had nothing to do with the gang, I just didn't want to interfere with Micah's business.

Dutch didn't ask Hosea for his opinion again. Since he didn't interrupt, it meant that Hosea also recognized Arthur's attitude.

"Damn it, Arthur! That's one of us! We're in this together, and just as I wouldn't abandon either of you, I wouldn't abandon Micah at a time like this!"

Looking at the excited Dutch, Arthur felt that this was the state that Dutch should be in when he came to see him. After all, from Dutch to now, he has been too calm, which is not like him at all. .

As for now, Arthur didn't know how much of Dutch's anger was because of Micah.

"Dutch, you ask me what I think, and this is my opinion. Micah is a problem. Well, since you don't want to hear it, let me put it another way. He should and was not arrested for a gang."

In fact, if Dutch was only angry because Arthur said he was unwilling to save Micah, Arthur would not be unable to understand it. After all, Micah is a flattering villain, but who doesn't like to have a jester under his command?Anyway, Arthur knew Dutch liked him very much.

Facing Arthur's question, Dutch did not choose to answer, but said angrily:
"I already have a damn plan! Believe me, according to my plan, we can save both of them without accident, both of them!"

Whether it is planned or not, anyway, it is not agreed to save McArthur first.

In Arthur's mind, Sean, who was caught because of Blackwater Town, must take priority.

The scene was at a stalemate.

After a while.

After looking at Hosea, who was speechless, and then at Dutch, who was insisting, Arthur finally decided to take a step back and said:

"How about we just listen to Hosea. I think Hosea's plan is at least fair. Since everyone must be rescued, we can do it together. So where is Micah being held?"

"Strawberry Town."

"Since Javier and Lenny have already made inquiries, what is the situation over there?"

Dutch thought for a while and said truthfully:
"Micah wasn't caught by Pinkerton, it was Strawberry Sheriff who caught him."

Hearing this, Arthur suddenly knew something in his mind and said:

"Then I don't think it's necessary to have too many people to save Micah. It's just a small town. I've heard of Strawberry Town. It's a small mountain town where alcohol is prohibited. There aren't many people making trouble there, so there are only a few sheriffs. "

Hosea nodded after listening. He felt that since the two accepted his suggestion, he should continue to arrange it. He said:
"Dutch, on Micah's side, why don't you take Javier and Bill and go there in person. On Sean's side, let Arthur take Charles, Lenny and John with him, and I'll stay in the camp and take charge. What do you think about staying behind?"

Dutch thought for a while, and finally Arthur gave him a good plan to rescue Micah, and he finally agreed to the plan.

According to the plan that Arthur told him, it really doesn't need too many people.

After the discussion, the three of them drank some wine together, and Dutch asked:
"I haven't seen Strauss in the camp recently. I heard that he no longer lends money, but works in your casino?"

Arthur nodded, drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and said:

"Didn't you ask me to help him? Didn't I find a solution once and for all? As long as we never touch loan sharks again, there will be no trouble to solve. Now we also have new income. Don't worry about the gang's share. I have already arranged it. Besides, don’t you also find usury uncomfortable?”

In fact, Dutch feels good about not lending anymore.

As Dutch himself said, for some reason, he always felt that robbery was more self-reliant and more decent than loan sharking.now.

Since Arthur is willing to give a share of his casino to the gang, he will now have new income. Let the loan sharking thing stop. As for where Arthur got the money... and Strauss , he had obviously known about the casino for a long time but did not tell himself. These things could only be temporarily recorded in Dutch's mind.

not the right time yet.

Arthur looked at Dutch sitting there as if thinking about something, he didn't ask, just sat and drank.

In fact, Da Qi doesn't think about much else right now, but just feels pity.

It was a pity that he couldn't stay in town for a long time, otherwise he thought it would be good to play in Arthur's casino for a few days.

You can not only ask some winning gamblers to borrow some money to spend, but you can also team up with cheaters to trick the gamblers at the same table.

No matter how you look at it, it is a good business to make money.

Dutch finished the wine in his glass and said again:
"Now that the plan is finalized, let's take action as soon as possible to avoid any surprises."

Arthur said he had no objection, and the three of them set off together and returned to the Horseshoe Watchtower camp.

At this time, in the camp.

Everyone was gathering together, and when they saw Arthur and the three of them coming back together, they all gathered around.

"Sir, ladies, what are you doing here?" Dutch asked.

Arthur on the side could see at a glance that Javier was looking at him in a wrong way, and Bill and Pearson on the side were also looking at him with suspicion.

This is too obvious, they are obviously discussing their own affairs.

However, considering that they probably just found out that they had opened a casino in the town, this is not surprising.

Susan came from the side, put down the bucket in her hand, and said:
"It's time to disperse. Everyone is gathering here to talk nonsense. Mr. Morgan, please don't worry. There are always some people in the camp who like to talk nonsense without evidence."

"Thank you, Ms. Grimshaw. I brought you some gifts by the way. Please remind me and I will bring them to you later."

Susan smiled and thanked Arthur, and continued to pick up the bucket to fetch water.

Others didn't know what to say at this time.

Arthur, Hosea and Dutch were seen back together, and it didn't look like there was any conflict.

Think again.

The things I heard just now are not just rumors.

Bill, who had figured it out, glanced at Javier angrily. Pearson beside him also returned to his table, cursing and saying something that would only delay his cooking, and then began to cut meat on his table and prepare it. Make his signature dinner.

Everyone came to Da Qi's tent.

After calling Lenny, who was in charge of lookout today, over.

Hosea did not explain other things, but relayed to everyone the news about Micah and Sean, as well as the plan decided together with Dutch and Arthur.

Everyone packed up their horses and set off, so I won’t go into details here.

After Arthur and Dutch took their own people and left, Hosea sat alone at the table in the middle of the camp, smoking a cigarette.

Beside Hosea.

The uncle was sleeping at the table holding a wine bottle.

Hosea looked down at his uncle and found that he was still breathing, so he ignored him.

He sat and thought about the conversation between Dutch and Arthur just now, and thought about what Arthur said to himself, and he was still very worried in his heart.

Dutch and Arthur had many words that they could not say, and it was difficult for them to say them.

In Hosea's view.

I'm afraid, the current peace is only temporary.

Because he really knows Dach too well.

Therefore, Hosea felt that this matter would never end so easily.
