A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 79 Arthur's Answer

"Mr. Milton, your goal is to eliminate the Van der Linde Gang, and I will help you eliminate it completely. This is my answer."

Arthur said this sentence word for word.

Milton looked confused and puzzled. Is this any different from what he just proposed to bring Van der Linde to him?He asked:
"So I can simply understand, do you accept my proposal?"

"Mr. Milton may not understand yet, but I was just kicked out of the gang by Dutch Van der Linde, so I can't bring him to you for the time being." Arthur replied.

Milton said incomprehensively:
"Let's assume that what you said is true. You were kicked out of the Dutch gang, so you can't help me bring Van der Linde. Then now, you are just a wanted criminal. Excuse me, do we have Why not arrest you immediately?"

Next is where Arthur needs to gamble. He knows that this is where his plan will succeed or fail. If it succeeds, everyone will leave happily, but if it fails, there will be a gun battle.

Therefore, Arthur said seriously:
"I don't need to lie to you, otherwise I wouldn't come here to see you. As you know, I am Dutch's most trusted deputy. I know him better than any of you. If anyone can catch him , then please believe that that person must be me."

"And I promise you now that I will help you eliminate the Van der Linde gang."

Milton was silent for a while before finally speaking:
"I will have a way to confirm whether what you told me is true, so what about your request? Speaking of which, the trading chips I gave you have just been told to you, and I will not change it. You put Da Qi ·Leave Van der Linde to me and I will let the rest of you go."

Seeing Milton's statement like this, Arthur understood that his plan was half successful, he said with a smile:

"Request? I don't regard this as a transaction. I prefer to call it tolerance of barbarism from civilization. Don't worry, I have no other demands. The only small request I make is that I hope you can give me something." I have some time."

Arthur doesn't need anything else. All he needs now is time. Even if Milton's claim of 'letting go of others' is true or false, it doesn't matter to Arthur. Get rid of the wanted and end the damned thing. Escape, Arthur has another plan.

All Arthur needs now is time.

And it's not the kind of time that's bought by causing more trouble.

Although Milton was a little surprised by such a huge change in Arthur's attitude before and after, he actually didn't care. In his heart, betrayal has never had anything to do with the wishes of the person involved. The situation will gradually force the traitor to completely become a traitor. traitor.

As long as Arthur is willing to take the first step, that's enough for Milton.

The Van der Linde Gang is not just another simple gang, and the incident in Blackwater Town has already proved this point. In the robbery in Blackwater Town, even though Pinkerton had used so many people, there was still no one. Can successfully keep them...

finally.

Milton nodded. He walked to Arthur's horse and held out his hand.

The two shook hands briefly.

Although both of them have evil intentions at this time.

But that's a done deal.

Finally, Arthur took the business card with his contact information from Milton and left.

……

Agent Ross asked Milton in confusion:
"So you're really going to let the others go and just capture Van der Linde?"

Looking at Arthur disappearing in front of his eyes, Milton replied:
"Did you know? A centipede has many legs, but as long as we take off its head, no matter how many legs are left, it won't be able to move."

On the other hand, no matter how many people are captured, as long as Dutch is still around, there will be another Van der Linde gang.

"Dutch is their leader."

Agent Ross continued to ask:

"So you believe this Arthur Morgan?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Let's just wait and see the results. Has the other side contacted us?" Ross nodded and said:
"I have contacted you. I will verify the specific information."

……

In the house, Strauss and Sean were nervously waiting for Arthur to return.

Strauss could still sit still, but Sean was already anxiously circling the room several times.

"Why haven't you come back?" Sean kept asking Strauss this question.

Strauss ignored him because he knew that whether he answered or not would not prevent Sean from continuing to talk.

About a while later.

"It's almost time to come back!"

At this time, Sean was lying on the window again and looking outside the house.

……

"Back! Back! It's Arthur!"

Looking through the window, Arthur came back from outside the house but did not enter the house after tying the horse.

Arthur saw Malloy standing in the hallway outside the Sheriff's Office.

Apparently Malloy was waiting for Arthur too.

Before this meeting, Arthur also talked to Malloy about Pinkerton and its rights and functions.

Malloy also saw Arthur walking towards him at this time, he greeted and said:

"Good morning, Mr. Callaghan. Since I can see you again in Valentine, I think you made it. Come on, come in and say it."

Arthur followed him into the house. It was still the same coffee as before. Malloy took off the pot of coffee and poured a cup for each of them.

Then he sat down in his place and said:

"Congratulations, you have successfully delayed Pinkerton, but I still want to remind you not to stay near Valentine. Where to go? I would recommend Rhodes Town to you. I know Sheriff Gray there. , Do you need it? I can give you a link."

Arthur tasted the coffee. Although it had the same taste as before, it tasted a little different now.

"Did you add anything? It tastes better? Historical experience tells me that you should listen to the advice of people older than you, so I will consider it."

Malloy smiled and said:

"It's milk. I added milk. Does it taste smoother? History, in my opinion, is made up of stories. They can be facts, interpretations, or misinterpretations, but more Sometimes, they are all made up of outright lies. So I suggest you think more on your own."

Arthur looked at Malloy who started to do this again and smiled helplessly:

"I didn't expect that when you are free, you seem to like not only being a married woman, but also reading?"

Malloy replied bluntly:
"I didn't expect that when you are fine, you not only cause trouble but also like to make trouble for others?"

"Okay, okay, thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it." Arthur waved his hand and said.

However, Arthur knew in his heart that he was only half successful, and the result was not as successful as Malloy said.

After all, where are the 'traitors' who submit their names but refuse to accept the petition?
