A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 70 Back to Camp

At the end, Arthur promised Malloy that he would give Malloy another sum of money.

It seemed to Arthur that Malloy liked money.

However, to Arthur's surprise, Malloy actually refused. He only heard him slowly explain:

"Mr. Morgan, you cannot maintain cooperation like this. As for the help this time, it is just a small thing that I am responsible for in the cooperation between the two of us."

"As for what I'm going to say next, just think of it as me, an old guy, sharing some little experiences with you. If we want to continue to maintain such a good, sustainable, low-key cooperation, As for relationships, here, if you give me too little money, it will definitely not work, but if you give me too much, it won’t work either.”

Malloy seemed to have changed when he said these words. He was no longer the villain he used to be, but more like an elder giving you advice. Just listen to him continue:
"People's desires are unlimited. Unfortunately, I understand this truth too late. You have to remember that there will always be someone who bids higher than you."

"Although it's unfortunate, you can't feed desire. You'll only make it more swollen."

Malloy spoke very seriously, but after he finished speaking, he immediately changed back to his previous appearance. He added with a smile:
"However, if you ask me for help next time, I will still raise the price."

Arthur was taught. He nodded seriously and said humbly:

"Thank you for being willing to tell me this. I will remember it well. Next time I come, I will remember to bring you some good beans."

Hearing what Arthur said, Malloy also had a satisfied smile on his face.

But he didn’t know what was going on, but in his heart at this time, he was inexplicably thinking of Moira.

Maybe, they didn't expect it to end like this at the beginning.

……

"Then I'll leave first. If there is any new information, we will contact you again." After Arthur said goodbye to Malloy sincerely, he stood up and left the Sheriff's Office.

At this time, Arthur sorted out all the information he had collected so far in his mind.

Now that he has figured out what happened, although Arthur is still not sure what Pinkerton wants to do, he certainly can't just sit and wait for Pinkerton and the others to come to his door. He must take action.

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch as he had made an appointment with Mary, although he knew that Mary might guess what he would do if he broke the appointment, Arthur had no choice now.

A huge crisis was before him.

What Arthur is thinking about now is all the news about Pinkerton, the response at the camp, and how to explain it to Dutch...

All these things kept urging Arthur to go back to the camp.

What's more, Arthur is still very worried about whether those people in the camp will run out and cause him any new trouble at this juncture. Among these troubles, there may be worse ones. Once they got into trouble with Pinkerton...

Arthur simply didn't dare think about it.

then.

Woman or brother?

Tsk, Arthur finally came to the door of the Saints Hotel.

After feeding Carrot its favorite oats, he decisively got on his horse and left Valentine Town. He headed towards the Horseshoe Lookout camp as quickly as possible.

……

"Hey, Arthur, you're back." The uncle shouted to Arthur. At this time today, he was not drunk and still standing guard in the woods. This was really rare.

However, Arthur didn't have time to stay here with his uncle to smoke a cigarette.Arthur just nodded towards the uncle, and went straight to the camp without stopping.

At this time, in the camp, David, Hosea and Lenny were sitting at the table playing cards. After seeing Arthur back, they all said hello to Arthur.

"Where's Dutch?" Arthur glanced around and asked. He didn't see Dutch in the camp.

"Did something happen? Dutch and John went to Valentine Town, saying they were looking for some business." Hosea put down the cards in his hand, stood up and said to Arthur.

Arthur didn't hesitate. He directly told Hosea the news he had brought back. Pinkerton's people had chased them to the town of Valentine and were looking for them.

Lenny and David also put down their cards at this time and listened carefully.

"Didn't you meet the two of them when you came back? Dutch and the others just left not long ago... So, what is the current situation like? Do we need to move immediately?" Hosea did not panic, but continued Ask Arthur carefully for more information.

Arthur thought for a while and said:

"Let's wait until Dutch comes back to decide. I think it is necessary to move immediately. For now, let everyone stay in the camp and be careful. This is the most important thing. Don't go out to cause trouble, just be honest It's enough to stay in the camp. As for more specific countermeasures, we have to discuss it with Dutch."

Arthur emphasized 'stay in the camp' twice. As for whether to transfer or not to transfer, he did not forget that Dutch was the one who made the final decision.

Arthur could only make suggestions.

This is also an important reason why Arthur has been unable to really change many things in the gang.

Arthur still trusted Dutch.

Everyone also trusts Dutch, and they are all united by Dutch to work hard to survive.It is no exaggeration to say that any opinion against Dutch can be regarded as a kind of betrayal. Of course, this is still a bit exaggerated.

However, this is indeed the status quo.

"No matter what, should I go get Dutch and the others back first? Now that Pinkerton has chased them to the town, they are likely to encounter some danger." Lenny said from the side.

After thinking about it, Arthur shook his head and said:
"It's better to wait for them to come back in the camp. Didn't Hosea say that Dutch and the others are just looking for work, and even if they find it, they won't do it immediately. And there are no problems in the town for the time being. I just came from the town. Hurry back. Pinkerton just got the news about our activities in the town from somewhere. He is just snooping until he actually sees us. We are still safe for the time being."

David listened quietly for a long time, and finally said:
"I'm just inquiring. My bones are all loose from lying down. I really hope I have a chance to move around soon."

When Arthur heard what he said, he rolled his eyes in his heart. David seemed to have rested long enough. When he heard that Pinkerton was chasing him, his first reaction was this. This really surprised Arthur. I don't know what to say to him.

But it's not David's fault, after all, his skills are there, and Arthur also understands that most of these self-righteous gunmen in the West will never think that something will really happen to them until something happens.

This can be considered a common problem among 'sharps'.

"Okay, don't make trouble here, your body is just a little better, why do you keep thinking about fighting with others?" Hosea reprimanded David mercilessly.

"Arthur, neither Charles nor Javier are in the camp now. Since you said there are no problems in the town for the time being, don't just wait here. Go and find Charles and Javier." Hosea He said with a serious face.

Now that there is a Pinkerton figure in Valentine, we cannot rule out that there is one nearby.

For safety reasons, Hosea decided to take everyone back first, and then wait for Dutch to come back and discuss what to do next.

Arthur had no objection to Hosea's suggestion. After asking him clearly where the two men were going, he turned around and led the horse.

Lenny also followed and said he wanted to join Arthur.

After all, it was Lenny and not John, so Arthur agreed without thinking too much.

The two men left the Horseshoe Lookout camp together.
