Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

Valentine.

Arthur's arrival surprised David. He did not expect that Arthur would invite him back to the camp to participate in the celebration of Sean's return.

"Arthur, you should know that if I go there, Dutch will feel very uncomfortable."

"He really doesn't want to see me now."

David's initial idea was to refuse. Dutch didn't want to see him, and he naturally didn't want to see Dutch either.

Even if it means that Dutch has not yet reached the later level, David knows what Dutch's essence is.

Arthur persuaded: "David, you haven't been back to the camp for a long time. Many people are missing you."

"Sean's return this time is a rare reunion for all of our gang."

"If you miss this time, it may be difficult for us to get together in the future. After all, you are different now, David."

In Arthur's mind, David, who had obtained legal status, was no longer a wanted criminal. It would not be a good thing if he was still often with wanted criminals like them.

"What else can be different, Arthur, I am still me, and I am still your friend."

"Don't think of me as a serious businessman. Bootlegging is also an illegal business. If the Federation seizes the opportunity, it will not let me go."

"It's just not as big of an impact as a robbery."

"You guy...Okay, then I'll go with you."

David didn't think he was a good guy. In a place like the West, good guys didn't get much reward.

Can the bootlegging business be something a good person can do? The day before yesterday, he threatened the federal bootlegging agents, and he was also planning to replace Strawberry Town with a small town police chief recently.

David changed into cowboy clothes, and then rode with David to Horseshoe Lookout Camp.

On the way, Arthur chatted with David about some recent events.

"You and Mike are no longer doing debt collection. Strauss has left this matter to me. Although the remuneration is relatively decent, this job makes me very disgusted."

"I find it more disgusting to me to rob people with the backing of the law than to just rob them with guns and fists."

"The people who borrowed money were usually desperate people, pregnant maids, young people who were in love and couldn't help themselves, and other people who were desperate and stupid to borrow money from Strauss."

"It's a really dirty job."

"That priest, Orville Swanson, the guy that Dutch once saved, drank, gambled, and was almost hit by a train. Now he drinks alcohol every day in the camp. Oh, this guy can make me lose at the station. Got a lot of money.”

"Hosea, I am happiest when I do things with him. He found a black marketeer named Seamus in Emerald Ranch. The businessman asked us to rob his cousin."

"We didn't want to kill anyone. Hosea went to get his cousin's attention. I went to ransack their house and I found the $150 they had hidden in the chimney."

"Oh, David, you can't believe what I saw when I came out. Hosea was rubbing people's backs, and he seemed to be very skilled. It's hard to imagine what kind of job he had done before."

"We quietly stole the carriage and everything went smoothly. It's always so much fun with Hosea."

"The atmosphere in the camp has been good recently. Micah, the rat, after we rescued him, he left the camp within two days. He said he wanted to make a big deal and wanted to express his love to Dutch. usefulness."

"I really wish he died outside."

Since the previous events, Arthur's view of David has changed a lot. He feels that David has become much smarter and no longer only knows how to rob and kill like before.

So he was willing to talk to David about some of his thoughts, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

David was obviously a good listener and would chat from time to time. The two of them laughed all the way to the camp.

"Oh, isn't this our bootlegger, Mr. Callander."

"I thought that a big shot like you would have forgotten us wanted criminals a long time ago. I wish I could completely distance myself from us. I didn't expect to see you come back."

"So, bootlegger David Callander, are you coming back to give some pathetic charity to us suffering people?"

Seeing David, Dutch immediately began to taunt him.

Everything was going well at Horseshoe Lookout, the only thing that made Dutch feel unhappy was David.

There is no harm without comparison, and David's success in the moonshining business seems to make everything Dutch does very incompetent.

David walked towards Dutch and said without any sign of weakness: "Dutch, listen, if you want to have one more enemy, then congratulations, your plan will definitely succeed."

Dutch looked gloomy: "Didn't you betray me first, David?"

David said coldly: "So in your opinion, pursuing a more stable life is a betrayal of you, Dutch?"

"Or you just want everyone to follow you and live the life of a desperado, on the run every day."
