Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

David's words were like a sharp blade, piercing directly into Dutch's heart.

As if the fig leaf had been torn away, Dutch became angry.

"David, don't forget who took in you Callander brothers when you were in the most difficult time."

"I'll teach you marksmanship, robbery, painting, and learning, so that you and Mike can survive better."

"But now, you are leaving the gang. Where is your loyalty? Where has your loyalty to me gone over the years?"

"If I had known that such a day would come, I should have left you to fend for yourself."

The Callander brothers were only 18 years old when they joined the Van der Linde gang, and by that time they had already committed many crimes.

Faced with being chased by the police and bounty hunters, it was Dutch who rescued them when they were desperate.

From then on, the Callander brothers were in the Van der Linde gang and also learned marksmanship from Dutch.

I have to admit that when he was young, Dutch was not only a sharpshooter, but also very good at teaching others.

Otherwise, the Callander brothers, as well as Arthur and John, would not have grown up to be where they are today.

Oh, John is an exception. He was born in the same year as the Callander brothers, but whether it is painting or marksmanship, he is the last one.

He is also afraid of water and cannot swim.

David listened to what Dutch said and said in a cold voice: "Yes, Dutch, I don't deny that you are indeed of great help and kindness to me and our Callander brothers."

"But in these eight years, how many things we have done for you and how many dollars we have robbed for you, aren't these enough?"

"If that's not enough, do you want me to talk about what happened in Blackwater Town?"

"You asked our brothers to defend you. Faced with so many police officers and Pinkerton's pursuit, you didn't even try to protect us. You just took the people and left. You didn't put our brothers' lives at risk at all. In my heart.”

"If I hadn't not trusted that rat and made some preparations in advance, we would have died there."

"Even so, Mike was shot several times and almost died from it."

"Is this what you, Dutch, a self-proclaimed father, should do to watch your child die?"

"From that moment on, all your debts to me and Mike have been repaid."

David's voice rang through the camp as he tore Dutch's cover apart.

And this is something that Dutch cannot refute.

At that time, there were not only the Callander brothers, Micah and Dutch, but also Bill and Javier.

And Dutch did lead the others away when the Callander brothers were behind the scenes, and also hid the robbery knife alone. No one knew where he hid the knife.

Because of David's words, Dutch's face turned livid, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger, as if a breakup was imminent.

"Dutch, David didn't betray the gang, and he has always been loyal to you."

"Everyone has the freedom to choose the way they want to live."

"David has not left the gang now. He cares about us too. We are still a family, otherwise he would not be here today."

"The young eagle cannot live under the protection of its father forever. The foal can only raise its iron hooves when it leaves the comfortable fence."

"Every father should be proud of his child's growth instead of angrily blaming him."

When the situation became critical, Hosea stepped forward.

His words also eased the tit-for-tat atmosphere.

Dutch didn't continue. Even if he was unhappy with David, he knew that continuing to accuse him would only make the situation worse and even shake his authority.

After all, Hosea also holds a pivotal position in the gang.

The rational Dutch also realized that this was meaningless. David and Mike had already decided to leave the gang. No matter how much they said it, they could not change this reality.

"David, my son, you should understand the pain of a father watching his child leave."

"The situation at that time was very complicated. It was not as simple as you think. I definitely had no intention of abandoning you Kalander brothers."

"Now, welcome you back, this will be your forever home."

"Okay, let's have a great party tonight for Sean's return."

After Dutch said something, he announced to the camp, as if he had really forgiven David.

The atmosphere in the camp began to become cheerful.

David knew very well that this was just a compromise that Dutch had to make. In his heart, even if David was not regarded as an enemy, he would not be a family member.

It's actually a bit ridiculous to talk about family. Dutch, who seems to be playing the role of a father, is just the subordinate he needs to achieve his own goals, whether it is to Arthur, John, or others.

Dutch's exquisite egoism, all he needs is compliance.

What happened in Blackwater Town was just a revelation of his true nature.

Later, when faced with Arthur's refusal to save him, when he robbed the train and left John to die, Arthur became angry when he rescued John from prison. At that time, Dutch would gradually reveal everything.

It also made Arthur and others truly despair of Dutch.
