Red Dead Redemption: Western Consortium

"Mr. Cornwall, this joke you made is not very funny."

David refused without thinking.

What a joke, asking him to catch Dutch, even if it was just him and Mike, leaving aside everything else, what was the difference between asking him to die.

"So, Callander, you're going to refuse to be my friend, right?"

Cornwall was a little angry. In his opinion, he had offered David very generous conditions, which many people could only dream of.

If it weren't for the fact that the Van der Linde gang was too difficult to deal with and it was very troublesome for David to deal with it now, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

But now, he was rejected.

As Cornwall stood up, the atmosphere in the restaurant became tense. Except for Cornwall's assistant, the other ten gunmen had their hands on their holsters.

Cornwall glared at David, as if he wanted to use this to force David.

"It would be really ridiculous if Mr. Cornwall thinks that with just the few people in the restaurant, he can take down our Callander brothers."

"Mr. Cornish still thinks that if you want to kill me now, I can't kill you, right?"

"When you get hit, you die, whether it's a cowboy or a tycoon."

"Perhaps Mr. Cornwall can turn around and see what your men are like now."

David felt a little ridiculous. In front of two gangsters who had committed countless crimes, Cornwall actually played these cheap tricks to scare him.

Of course, David knew very well that even if there was a war, Cornwall would not stand in front of him in this restaurant.

Although Cornwall had done something similar to robbery, he was not an outlaw cowboy after all, and he didn't know what a sharpshooter meant.

These were the Callander brothers who had to fight their way out under the siege of Blackwater Town, the only police force in the West, and Pinkerton detectives.

When Cornwall heard what David said, he turned his eyes to his men, and only then did he notice their nervous and frightened expressions.

Obviously there were 10 gunmen in the restaurant, while the other party only had 2 people.

But it gave Cornish the feeling that he was surrounded by these two people.

"Very well, Mr. Callander, I didn't expect that I underestimated you and Van der Linde, but you have to understand that those who oppose me never have a good ending."

Cornish, realizing that he could not do anything to the Callander brothers now, began to lose his temper.

David replied coldly: "If my bootlegging business suffers any unknown losses, I will put the account on Mr. Cornwall's head."

"Maybe Mr. Cornwall does have great strength in the Federation, but at the same time, don't forget that this is not the civilized eastern region, but the barbaric west."

"We may not be friends, but if Mr. Cornwall wants to have an enemy, then I won't mind."

If killing Cornwall hadn't had too much impact, David would have killed him directly.

Perhaps many people don't understand what it means to be a tycoon in the Federation, but David is not like Dutch who has not read books.

In the Federation in 1899, there were about 4500 people with assets worth one million U.S. dollars, and this number was still rising.

But the title of tycoon is not given to just anyone.

Every tycoon is a leader in a certain field. There are only twenty or thirty people in the entire federation who can have the title of tycoon.

Cornwall is known as the railway tycoon, which means that most of the railway construction projects in the entire Commonwealth are almost taken over by Cornwall.

Killing a tycoon would definitely shock the entire federation. Under such circumstances, in order to better calm the anger of the people and the pressure from other tycoons, the Pinkerton Detective Agency will easily obtain law enforcement powers. .

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Anti-Pinkerton Law has been enacted for 6 years and Pinkerton has declined for 6 years, the current Pinkerton Detective Agency still has thousands of people.

No matter how powerful a sharpshooter is, such as Arthur in the later period, he may be able to deal with dozens of people, but to say that he can deal with hundreds of Pinkerton detectives who are fully armed and have received formal military training is just wishful thinking.

One Maxim heavy machine gun is not enough to determine the battle situation, but what if there are ten?

This is why David doesn't want to kill Cornish directly.

Faced with David's threat, Cornwall's face was uncertain.

But he couldn't deny that in the west, he really didn't have good means to deal with David.

If he really gets into trouble, even if it can effectively attack David's bootlegging business, his losses will not be a small amount.

Don't look at the fact that Dutch robbed his train and oil carriage. In fact, this loss is just a drop in the bucket for Cornwall.

He cares more about his own face.

Moreover, he had to admit that although David seemed a bit inconspicuous to him now, he already had the strength that he could take seriously.
