Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

"David, my brother, why did you give Arthur 50 dollars? Shouldn't I be asked to do such a thing?"

"It's just to catch a counterfeit drug dealer, it's not worth so much."

McCalland pulled David aside and said with some dissatisfaction.

He didn't really care about what David said about Pinkerton just now. He was more concerned about the $50.

David snorted coldly: "Leave it to you, what were you doing at the time? I asked you to find out the information, but what did you do? Drinking in the pub, did you spend all your money?"

Facing David's lecture, Mike looked sarcastic.

He also knew that he failed to get things done.

"Where is the counterfeit drug dealer we caught?" David asked angrily.

Mike quickly said: "According to your instructions, after Arthur caught him, he was imprisoned in the burned-out town of Limpani."

David nodded: "You go and guard him during this period. Don't let him starve to death or let him escape. I'm still useful."

Mike said: "David, don't worry, I will definitely guard him, but..."

As twin brothers and having grown up together, David certainly knew what Mike meant.

Without saying much, he took out a stack of American knives from his arms, probably worth more than 100, and stuffed them into Mike's pocket.

Mike suddenly smiled.

He knew that his eldest brother must have committed many robberies.

According to the rules, gang members must contribute half of their proceeds from robbery outside to the gang.

But David didn't go to the camp to donate.

In fact, many people know that David robbed rich people outside.

When Arthur and his uncle came back with the purchased supplies the day before yesterday, they were bragging that they stayed in a high-end hotel and took a luxurious bath, all of which were paid for by David.

Dutch didn't bother David about this matter. He felt that David now had a strong opinion of him because of the failure of robbing the train.

If you argue with David about donation at this time, it is easy for greater conflicts to break out.

The Callander brothers were not to be trifled with.

Dutch needs to stabilize the powerful forces in the gang, not push them out of the gang.

At this time, Leopold Strauss approached David.

"David, have you been busy lately? I need your help here."

"You know, some people never give their money back."

Strauss's moneylending had been done for a long time, and it was also an important source of income for the gang.

The money donated by gang members would be loaned out by Strauss, and the money would beget more money.

In the plot of the previous game, Arthur only started to get involved in debt collection tasks when he arrived at Horseshoe Lookout. Before Arthur, the debt collection work had always been the responsibility of the Callander brothers.

It was because the Callander brothers were dead that Strauss asked Arthur for help.

But now that the Callander brothers are not dead, they will naturally do the work, which is also a daily income.

The person responsible for collecting the money will be compensated with a commission.

"No problem, Strauss, give me the list and information, and I will help you get it done." David said casually.

"Of course, David, it's been a pleasure working together."

Strauss said with a smile, and then wrote the information and names of the debt collectors needed on the paper.

"A guy named Chick Matthews worked at Guthrie's farm, I think he was a helper."

"Mr. Robert, a small landowner in Rainbow Sky, whose ranch is not being managed well."

"Lily Millie, was a ranch maid at Emerald Ranch."

Taking the note, David nodded.

This was also the reason why he didn't tell Arthur about Downs.

Because of his existence, Arthur would not be exposed to debt collection tasks in the gang, and naturally he would not be exposed to Downes being infected with tuberculosis.

It can be said that from the beginning, when the Callander brothers survived, the gears of fate had already begun to turn.

If David wants to start a moonshine business, he needs several necessary conditions.

The first is the brewer, then the medical alcohol, and the raw materials used to make it, such as corn flour and malt powder.

Medical alcohol now has a direction, such as the counterfeit drug dealer who is being imprisoned in the small town of Linpali.

David already had someone in mind for the winemaker.

The supply of raw materials requires the help of a rancher.

The bootlegging business not only faces competition from underground counterparts, but also investigations and arrests from bootlegging detectives.

Therefore, in order to be able to safely produce illegal liquor, David must purchase secretly and find a location where illegal liquor can be safely produced.

A normal rancher would naturally not cooperate with David and secretly purchase raw materials for him.

So David can only focus on poorly managed ranchers.

And now there happens to be a good target, and that is Robert who is not doing well in running the ranch in Rainbow Sky.

People like Leopold Strauss who borrowed money usually did so only when they were in dire straits, so David was very confident and pulled Robert into the bootlegging business.

Robert actually has the ability to repay, at least repaying Strauss is not a problem.

The loan owed to the bank was the bulk of Robert's debt.
