A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 78 Meeting
In the second half of the night, Arthur was discussing with Strauss the specific implementation of his proposed plan and how to arrange the follow-up arrangements.

It wasn't until Sean pushed the door in from the outside that the two of them realized that it was already dawn.

Sean and Strauss briefly said hello, and then said to Arthur:

"I hid at the appointed meeting place all night. Milton only brought one person, and they were already waiting there. Arthur, although I can guarantee with my life that they did not have any other ambush, but you Have you really decided to do this?”

Arthur rubbed his face, cheered up, smiled and said to Sean:
"Thank you for your hard work. You can take a good rest here. I can go by myself."

Sean became anxious when he heard that Arthur didn't plan to take him with him.

"No, you have to at least take me with you. After all, I am also the best marksman and quick shooter in the gang. If the negotiation breaks down, take action. I can still help you. Busy. Besides, if you go by yourself, what should you do if something happens? There won't even be anyone who knows, so no, no, you have to take me with you." Sean argued with reason.

Arthur nodded. He agreed with Sean's words, but still firmly rejected his proposal.

Arthur explained patiently:

"It wasn't long after you were rescued. Don't forget, this incident hit them hard in the face. If you go with me, wouldn't that be forcing Pinkerton to attack us? So you just give I'll be honest, I have my own arrangements for this conversation, you don't have to worry about it."

In Arthur's mind, since Sean was sure that there were only two people on the other side, he didn't worry about his own safety at all.

Whether you call it self-confidence or arrogance, the fact is that Arthur knows very well that two people cannot keep him.

Arthur didn't intend to let Pinkerton's people wait for him too long. After all, they had already arrived. He left Strauss and Sean here while he mounted his horse and rushed to the appointed place.

The place is not far away, just in front of the woods on Lengshan Mountain.

When Arthur arrived, Milton and the others had been waiting here for a while, but it was not because Arthur was late, but because Milton and the others arrived much earlier than the agreed time.

"Good morning, Mr. Morgan. To be honest, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to meet me." Milton said looking at Arthur who was riding a horse opposite.

Milton only brought one assistant, and he was not prepared to do anything during this meeting.

Just a simple chat.

What happened with the coachman before was because Milton wanted to talk to Arthur.

Now that Arthur has taken the initiative to come to him, the two of them hit it off.

Arthur did not get off his horse, but leaned down on the horse, looked at Milton and said:
"Good morning, Mr. Milton. Don't talk about you. Even I didn't expect that one day I would take the initiative to meet people from Pinkerton."

"So? I'm standing here now, listening attentively. What do you want to say to me?" Milton asked, opening his hands.

"I know that combating gangs and desperadoes has always been your main task. You have obtained the law enforcement authority granted to you by the Ministry of Justice. I also know that the Van der Linde Gang has been your key target over the years..."

Milton interrupted Arthur and said:
"You know it very well, and so do I. So let me guess, are you planning to take the initiative to give yourself a chance to survive? So are you ready to become a traitor? If so, let us go directly to the topic, Da Chi van der Linde, hand him over and I can guarantee your life and the safety of the others who are left."

The expression on Arthur's face was very serious, and he said:
"Is this your proposal, Agent Milton? I..."

Milton interrupted Arthur again impatiently, and he said in a serious tone that was completely different from before:
"Listen, you are just a criminal to me. I am not a shop here, so please don't bargain with me. You should be lucky that you are in such a chaotic environment, Arthur, Ya Arthur Morgan? I know that you are Van der Linde’s most trusted partner. I have read your file. It’s a very classic story, isn’t it? A poor street orphan was bewitched by a madman who could speak good words, and then, He became the depraved murderer he is today."

"Yes, we know a lot about you, far more than you think. So I hope that as a wanted criminal, you will stop having those other unrealistic fantasies and do as I say. This is your only chance to continue living." Arthur laughed out loud. Milton actually understood the Arthur of the past, but unfortunately he did not understand the Arthur of the present. He said jokingly:
"I'm very happy to be taken so seriously? Sir? But I think we are all the same kind of people, right? The only difference is that I am still adapting to your new rules of the game, but you have already adapted to the rules like a fish in water. ”

Obviously, Milton not only guessed Arthur's purpose wrongly, but he also wrongly viewed Arthur through the eyes of the past.

Oh, Milton also underestimated Arthur's ability to speak sharply.

After listening to Arthur's words, Milton changed his previous appearance, and he laughed along with Arthur.

But he wasn't smiling because he was in a good mood, to be honest he was smiling because he was angry.

Milton said: "You know what? Mike Callander doesn't have such a good opportunity as you. I have seen him..."

"Mike? Is he still alive?"

Mike Callander is David's brother, and everyone calls them the Callander brothers.

"Oh, when I saw him, he was already in a hornet's nest. Honestly, it was a very lucky way to die, a slow but lucky way to die..."

Arthur heard that Milton was 'joking' with him about the death of his companion.

Arthur was angry, the smile on his face now replaced by murderous intent.

This damn guy.

at this time.

Agent Ross, who came with him behind Milton, keenly noticed the change in the atmosphere, holding the gun tightly, always paying attention to Arthur's every move.

Arthur finally resisted the urge to kill them directly here.

Killing them now would do him no good except causing more trouble.

Arthur came with a plan.

"So? We are just toys for rich people. The difference is that I don't like it, but you seem to like it very much?" Arthur chose to verbally counterattack Milton who used Mike's death to hit him.

Although Arthur resisted the urge to take action, he had no intention of letting go of the guy in front of him.

Milton was obviously once again stabbed in his pride by such accusations.

"Listen, what I like is this civilized society...including its flaws! And you guys who advocate barbarism, in my opinion, will eventually die tragically in such a barbaric way! If you are not Come and accept the offer I make, then I guarantee you that all of you will die." Milton issued his ultimatum.

Ah, Arthur thinks that if it is true as Milton said, he will at least live longer than Milton?

but.

Arthur had no intention of stimulating Milton with words anymore. This was enough. He slowly said:
"Okay, Agent Milton, we've been talking about unrelated topics for too long. Now, how about you hear my answer?"
