Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

Chapter 17 Attacking Dutch Prestige

David woke up full of energy after a long sleep.

He left all his gentleman's clothes in the hotel and put on denim clothes that the hotel had helped wash before.

Previously, Arthur and the others spent 8 US dollars, plus last night's accommodation fee of 3 US dollars, leaving only 20 US dollars from the original 9 US dollars.

David directly deposited $30 this time and let the hotel keep his room.

Riding on his horse, David prepared to return to camp.

"Hello, sir, please, please stop."

A voice rang out, and David, who was riding a horse, looked and saw that the person who stopped him was Downs who was doing charity.

That was when Arthur was collecting debts because he contracted tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through droplets. Although it is not highly contagious, David did not intend to talk to him.

This is the real world, and it would be a shame if it was really contagious.

After casually throwing away the 10 US dollars, David turned around and left.

Horseshoe Lookout.

"Hi, David."

"Hi, Lenny."

It was Lenny who said hello, and he was usually the one keeping watch.

Entering the camp, Arthur and Hosea were packing their things and getting ready to go.

"David, Hosea has discovered a legendary animal, a huge bear. Are you interested in going hunting with us?"

Arthur sent an invitation.

David's expression turned gloomy: "Sorry, I'm not in the mood to hunt now."

Seeing David's expression, Hosea couldn't help but ask: "David, have you found any information?"

When David left previously, it was in the name of gathering intelligence. Everyone in the gang knew this.

"Yes, Hosea, very bad news."

David's movements attracted the attention of others in the camp.

Mike, Bill, Javier, and Dutch also came over.

Micah approached cautiously and stood on the periphery of the crowd.

"David, what information did you find?" Dutch looked at David's expression and asked directly.

David stared at Dutch, with a hint of questioning in his tone; "Dutch, Dutch, I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't rob that train. It's okay now."

"Cornwall paid twenty thousand dollars to sign a contract with Detective Pinkerton. Detective Pinkerton has already investigated. It was not the O'Drisco Gang who robbed the train, but us."

"Dutch, you have a private reward of US$5000 hanging on your head right now, and Arthur, you also have US$2000, and Mike and I each have US$3000 hanging on our heads."

"I didn't expect that we are so valuable now. I want to surrender."

David's dry humor did not make everyone laugh, and now the gang's situation has become very bad because of Detective Pinkerton.

David continued: "Dutch, I don't know how many Pinkerton detectives have entered New Hanover now. They will find us sooner or later."

"Oh, Hosea, have those bonds been released?"

Hosea hesitated and said, "David, it's very dangerous now. The amount of that batch of bonds is huge. We have to be careful to find someone to take action."

David said coldly: "So, those bonds are still a pile of waste paper to us, right?"

Arthur couldn't help but interjected: "David, calm down, it's not that bad yet. After a while, we keep a low profile, and those bonds can always be sold."

David did not answer Arthur's words, but turned his attention to Dutch.

Dutch also knew that he was about to speak.

"Listen David, don't be so nervous. Pinkerton won't be able to find us that quickly."

"As Arthur said, let's keep a low profile during this period. Hosea will be able to find a buyer soon."

"I have a plan. When these bonds are released, we will leave here and go farther away. In Tahiti in the south, we can buy a piece of land and grow some mangoes or something."

"We just need to stay calm and keep a low profile during this time."

Although Dutch's words are still so contagious, Dutch's prestige has declined rapidly due to the previous dispute in Coulter Village.

The news David brought this time could completely prove that the original plan to rob the train was wrong.

Especially now that Pinkerton detectives have figured out that the train robbers were the Vanderlinde gang.

This made everyone feel very bad.

Especially Abigail, she hugged little Jack tightly, and her mind was filled with the image of being caught and sent to the gallows as David once told her.

Moreover, the bonds are still in your hands. If you can't sell them, they will be no different from waste paper.

Apart from getting some so-called high-end goods on the train in Cornwall, the results of the train robbery did not bring any benefits to the gang.

The facts are here, no matter what Dachi can say, it can't eliminate the haze in everyone's hearts.

David didn't continue talking, that's enough for now.

If it continues, it will be a direct quarrel.

Susan shouted from the side: "Girls, what are you doing? Start working."

The crowd begins to disperse, and Arthur follows Hosea out to hunt legendary animals.
