Chapter 23 The Braithwaite Family

Crossing the boulevard, the two carriages finally stopped before a circular arch.

In front of the arch, stood several manor guards armed with rifles.

One of them threw away the cigarette in his hand and stepped forward.

When he found John sitting in the carriage, he couldn't help showing surprise:

"Master John?"

This young master, didn't he just set off to deliver the goods in the morning, why did he come back so soon...

John Braithwaite on the carriage didn't know what his guard was thinking, so he just nodded with a gloomy expression:
"Well, it's me."

The bewildered guard immediately turned to look at Rorschach beside the carriage: "Who is this?"

Hearing this, John Braithwaite straightened his chest first, and then introduced:
"Oh, he's my friend. The famous bounty hunter, "Ghost" Rorschach."

Returning to his turf, John Braithwaite commanded in the slightest:

"Several of you, first go and remove the bodies of Duncan and Oliver. I have something to tell my mother."

"Duncan? Oliver? They're dead?!" The guards were obviously very surprised by the news.

"Yes, there was a mistake on the road. Put them in the barn first, and bury them properly later."

"understood…"

After the guards removed the two corpses from the carriage, John turned his head and invited him very politely, "Mr. Luo Xia, come in with me..."

"Ok."

Riding behind the carriage, Rorschach quickly arrived at the courtyard in front of the mansion.

The whole mansion has been lit by lights, emitting a soft light from the inside out.

Perhaps hearing the movement of the carriage, the gate of the mansion was swung open.

An old black man in a black tuxedo stood at the door.

Immediately afterwards, an old lady with a hooked nose and a mean face came out surrounded by two men.

Seeing this old lady whose face was covered with traces of time, Luo Xia, who had just jumped off the horse, blinked and immediately recognized the lady's identity:

Catherine Braithwaite, the speaker of the Braithwaite family!

Looking at the two carriages parked in the courtyard, Madam Catherine frowned, and immediately recognized the cargo on the two carriages, which was the moonshine that should be sent to Saint-Denis today!

Those sharp eyes, like a falcon, could not help falling on his son:
"John, what the hell is this all about?"

"Mother, the thing is like this..."

After briefly recounting the matter, John Braithwaite began to introduce Rorschach beside him:

"...If it weren't for this gentleman, this batch of wine, and my little life, might have been taken away by those damn robbers..."

As soon as the words fell, Rorschach took a step forward at the right time, and took off his hat in greeting: "Rorschach Anos, it's an honor to meet you."

The surname "Anos" was naturally chosen by Rorschach himself...

Rorschach's good manners made Mrs. Catherine's impression of him a lot more points at once.

After looking at Rorschach, Mrs. Catherine showed a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Arnos, for allowing my son to return safely."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

"No, no, for you, it may be just a little effort. But for a mother, it is very important."

"Mr. Arnos, you are John's friend, that is, a friend of the Braithwaite family. And the Braithwaite family never treats their friends badly..."

After a pause, Mrs. Catherine looked up at the sky, as if she had thought of something, and then said:

"Mr. Anos, you haven't had your meal yet, right? It just so happens that dinner is ready, why don't we have dinner together, and tell me by the way how you saved John. What do you think?"

Escorting the carriage all the way back was just to get acquainted with the Braithwaite family. Of course, Rorschach would not let go of this opportunity to gain favor.

"It's an honor!"

"Please come in..."

By John's side, Rorschach finally stepped into the largest mansion in the game...

The mansion is only two stories high, but the interior space is very spacious.

Under the reflection of the chandelier, the exquisite murals on the wall are vivid.

Exquisite decoration, expensive furniture…

Everything is full of heritage of the ancient plantation family.

Luo Xia even saw a huge blue and white porcelain vase in the corner!
It is worth mentioning that although the Civil War has passed for more than [-] years, slavery has also been abolished.

However, from the black servants that can be seen everywhere in the mansion, it can be known that the Braithwaite family still retains the traditions of the past.

Of course, perhaps these blacks were not slaves, but labor they hired.

In any case, the nature is the same, but the name is different...

Damn capitalism!
Following behind everyone, Rorschach came to an independent and spacious restaurant.

A long oval table with candlesticks is placed in the center of the dining room, surrounded by about eight exquisitely crafted seats.

And on one of the seats, a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes was already sitting.

Rorschach's pair of black eyes just met those of azure blue.

Seeing Luo Xia's unfamiliar face, the other party's face couldn't help showing a trace of curiosity.

Seeing the blond girl who didn't get up in time, Mrs. Catherine frowned slightly, and then introduced:
"This is my cousin, Penelope."

"Penelope, this is our guest tonight, Mr. Arnos."

As soon as the words fell, the blond girl stood up belatedly, bowed slightly to Rorschach, and greeted somewhat coldly: "Hello, Mr. Anos."

Rorschach first smiled slightly, and then took off his hat in greeting: "Hi, Miss Penelope, nice to meet you."

This girl looks familiar...

"Okay, let's sit down and talk slowly. Mr. Anos, can you sit opposite Penelope?"

"of course."

Nodding, Rorschach was about to put the cowboy hat back on, but the black butler standing by the wall took the lead:
"Just give me my hat, sir."

Glancing at the other party, Rorschach handed over the hat casually, "Thank you."

And this scene happened to fall into Penelope's eyes, and she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Sitting down opposite Penelope, Rorschach's eyes once again fell on this pretty blonde girl.

This girl was the first young woman he had seen since he came to Westworld without freckles, tan marks, or acne.

Moreover, judging from her uncovered white skin, it can be known that this girl must be living a pampered life.

Miss Rich...

While Rorschach was looking at Penelope, he didn't know that the other party was also observing him.

Handsome face, equal courtesy, wild clothes...

The image of this dark-haired youth is somewhat similar to the bounty hunter described in cheap novels, but not exactly the same.

Thinking of this, the curiosity in Penelope's eyes became even more intense.

bounty hunter...
