Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

"David, thank you."

Arthur walked over and said with complicated eyes.

He knew that what David hated most was Micah. Although he also hated that guy, David was the one who drew his gun to kill him.

Now David agreed to rescue Micah entirely because of his relationship.

"What are you talking about, Arthur, you once saved my life."

David punched Arthur in the chest, of course, not very hard. This was a testament to the friendship between men.

The Callander brothers, including Arthur, have always been the core force in the gang. In the past eight years, they have naturally experienced countless cooperative robberies.

The relationship between Arthur and the Callander brothers has always been very good. That is to say, when they were in Plow Village, there were some ideological disputes because of Dutch.

"Anyway, thank you David. With you Callander brothers here, things in Strawberry Town won't be so troublesome." Arthur's expression showed gratitude.

David just nodded and said nothing more.

Lenny seems to be emotionally unstable here, probably because what happened in Strawberry Town frightened him.

"Arthur, take Lenny to town, to Valentine, not to Strawberry Town, and get this kid drunk." Dutch shouted from the side.

Men, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a drink.

Arthur turned to David, and Mike shouted: "David, Mike, come together. We haven't had a drink in a long time."

Before David could speak, Mike had already stood up.

"Very well, Arthur, I've got a bird in my mouth here."

Mike is the most typical Western outlaw. Apart from robbing, he just drinks, takes a bath, and makes hot coffee.

"Okay, let's go."

David also mounted his horse, and the four of them headed in the direction of Valentine.

On the road, Arthur and David rode together.

"David, maybe you are right. We have been at Horseshoe Lookout for so long and the bonds have not been sold yet. To us now, it is a complete pile of waste paper."

"I asked Hosea. They kept the price very low. For a bond worth tens of thousands of dollars, they were only willing to pay a few thousand dollars. Frank, these greedy bastards."

After going around and around, Arthur now found that what David said at the beginning was correct.

"Arthur, the civilization in the east is connecting with the west. Countless businessmen, tycoons, or wealthy people are coming to the west to invest."

"Railways for the Western Train are being built everywhere. Soon, this barbaric place will be occupied by civilization."

"The Federation is a country governed by the rule of law. When there are more wealthy people, they will send more forces to maintain the security of the West."

"It won't be long before you find that the practices of the past are no longer suitable for this era. The ship of the new era cannot carry the things of the old era. It is time for us to make changes."

David's voice was low, which was his persuasion to Arthur, even though he knew that Arthur would not listen to him at this time.

Arthur was a little silent, and then said after riding for a while: "Maybe you are right, David, but we are now fugitives, wanted murderers, and the door to the new world has closed me out. I have no choice."

David objected: "Arthur, you have a choice, we all have a choice. In the new world, there will not only be black and white, but also gray."

"You are my brother, Arthur, I will not lie to you, I am heading in this direction."

"Even if you don't agree with my point of view now, time will tell you everything."

Arthur thought for a long time but failed to understand David's words. Perhaps it was his inner resistance that made him, a man from the old era, hate everything in the new world.

He would rather go to the west and live the life he once had. After all, he had grown up in such a life.

"Maybe you're right, David, but when we get to Valentine, we should go have a drink first."

Arthur was obviously avoiding, and David did not continue to persuade.

This kind of idea that has been ingrained for decades cannot be changed by a few words.

Even the redemption in the plot of the previous life was a change that occurred because Arthur knew that he was about to die.

Now Arthur is at best a bad guy with a conscience and a bottom line.

On Valentine's night, the pub is the liveliest place.

Arthur and Mike entered the pub side by side and went to the front desk to order drinks.

Lenny followed David.

"Mr. Callander."

When the bartender saw David, his originally dull expression became respectful.

The tavern has always been the most well-informed place. Of course, the bartender has heard about everything that happened to Valentine before.

For this big shot who killed members of the O'Drisco gang and received support from the police department, the bartender would naturally show his respect.

The sound of Mr. Callander made many people in the tavern look at David.

"Oh, David, it seems you are doing well here." Arthur said with a smile.

He didn't take it seriously, thinking it was because of David's frequent consumption here.

He heard a few days ago that David robbed a rich man and reportedly got a lot of money.
