Red Dead Redemption Dawn Chapter 382

Rhodes Town.

John looked at the surrounding buildings that had been hit by bullets rather interestingly. The battlefield a few days ago was obviously more intense than he imagined.

However, this seems to have little effect on Rhodes Town.

After walking around here, he found that these residents didn't care about the encirclement and suppression a few days ago.

When he walked into a gun shop to buy ammunition, he chatted with the boss.

"I heard that there was a relatively large roundup in this place a few days ago?"

The boss nodded disapprovingly, "Outsiders? That's right~ Yes, about 40 people died in the town that day, almost all of them were guards from the two great families."

Then the boss looked left and right, stretched his head over and said, "You know, the Braithwaite family's manor was attacked, and more than 40 people died in their family. Including Braithwaite's patriarch Catherine, Braithwaite Six core members of the family died. Hehe~ This made the Gray family happy at the beginning."

John nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "The Gray family has nothing to lose?"

At this time, the shop owner smiled even more~ "It is also interesting to say that the Gray family will definitely have the upper hand this time and can eat up a lot of the Brace family's property, but unfortunately, the patriarch of the Gray family, Tavish, this time. He also died of illness a few days later."

"Because there is no clear inheritance, Tavish's sons have been fighting openly and secretly for the family industry recently, and they don't even have time to pay attention to the loss of the greater Brees family."

"It's really the **** plot in the novel." John also said with a chuckle.

"Hahaha~ The two major families are the main things discussed in the town these days, it's very interesting." The boss also laughed happily.

"Then the Braithwaite family doesn't have a similar struggle for property?" He continued to ask.

"One of Catherine's sons survived the fire, was shot but not dead, and took over the Braithwaite estate after a few days of recuperation. In a way, the loss The biggest Braithwaite family is very calm about the heir." The boss said an interesting story about the two families that have been discussed these days.

"Thank you~" After he nodded, he paid for the ammunition, and then left here.

Then he went to several nearby taverns that had little to do with the two major families, and the stories he heard were roughly the same.

After thinking about it, he was sure that it was what he would do next.

He first found the owner of a nearby grocery store to find out how many factories there are and which factories belong to the two major families, and then went to the tavern to ask where they usually buy goods.

After all this was done, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Then he went to the Braithwaite manor to visit the direct heir who had survived the fire.

The Braithwaite family's manor was burnt down by Arthur Dutch and others, so their current residence is in another villa.

The Braithwaite family has suffered heavy losses recently, not in business, but in numbers. Lady Catelyn and her five sons were all killed by Dutch Arthur.

Nearly sixty other guards died at the hands of the Van der Linde gang.

For a time, the Braithwaite family's guards were almost dead, and these days, only a dozen cowboys could be hurriedly called to act as guards.

When the guard heard someone visiting, he first hid and looked at him with great vigilance, then after confirming that he was not a robber, he walked into the villa to report.

After a while the guard came back and invited him in.

"Mr. Wake~Mr. Garrett, please." The guard politely invited him in.

"Thank you~"

This relatively small villa is not small, but it is definitely much smaller than the previous one.

There were quite a few servants and gardeners in the villa. He was brought into the living room and then saw the current head of the Braithwaite family, Garrett, who was wearing a bandage on his shirtless body and some burn marks on his left arm. His face was slightly pale. Braithwaite.

The last time he took John to meet Moraine's biggest gang, the leader of Moraine's predators, to ask for William, the old gentleman.

More than half a year has passed, and only a few lonely gangs have been killed by the Moraine Marauders in the past six months.

Among them, the Van der Linde gang killed the most ruthlessly. According to rough statistics, they killed hundreds of them in just one or two months. The last leader was also killed by Arthur and Marston.

From the side, you can also see how terrifying the elite gunmen of the Van der Linde gang are. While exterminating this gang of more than 100 people, they also killed nearly 100 guards from the two major families in Rhodes Town, plus those in Strawberry Town and Blackwater Town. people.

Wherever the Van der Linde gang went, nothing could grow. To put it bluntly, any gunman from the Van der Linde gang would be the second-in-command or even the first-in-command when he reached other gangs.

In other words, in the Van der Linde Gang, a strange gang with three sharpshooters, he is a small person.

But after killing so many people, they still had such hardships, which also shows how strong Dutch Van der Linde's leadership 'ability' is.

In other words, people who are more practical may all be on the road to unify the west, or they may directly become the hegemon of the side that dominates the west.

Thinking about it this way, Dutch's charm and ability are indeed too 'outstanding'.

"Hey ~ Garrett~ Long time no see, I passed by Rhodes this time and heard about what you met, so I came to see." John took the whisky that the servant brought him after taking his seat.

"Inspector Wake, it's been more than half a year since the last time we met. I'm sorry to let you see our family's embarrassment at the next meeting." Garret's face did not show much sadness.

For a family-style core character like him, family affection is something. It is said that there are some, but it is not necessarily how deep the feelings are.

If he is a very simple person, he may write grief on his face without thinking, but Garrett is not one of these types of people.

He learned from the last small talk that this guy is a very thoughtful person, and he was very restrained when Mrs. Catelyn, her mother, was still alive.

A person who is thoughtful and restrained, this is a quality that can be seen in many characters.

It was unfortunate for the family that Van der Linde helped the Braithwaite family, but it was lucky for Garrett who survived the fire.

He is the only core heir, and other Braithwaite family members are hardly qualified to compete with him for the ability of this patriarch.

Maybe there will be one or two people who don't have long eyes, but Garrett can meet him in this way now, which shows that he has dealt with this kind of unknowing relative.

"But isn't it a new beginning for the Braithwaite family?" He said after taking a sip of the cigar handed over by the servant.

"Haha~" Garret chuckled twice, but did not continue.

"Mr. Wick~ It's not just this visit because I just want to see my friend, and I still have other important things to talk about." Garrett took a sip of his cigar and asked.

"Ah~ hehe~ I think I can become a better friend with you." John said straight to the point.

Hearing this, Garret stopped the glass he was about to raise, frowned slightly, and then looked John up and down.

"What does Mr. Wake mean? I don't quite understand."

John looked around and then said to Garret, "I think we should talk in another place, such as the study in your current bedroom."

At any time, the master study room of such a large family is a very private place. Most of this place is used to discuss the strategic layout and future development of a family.

It's not that the core members are not qualified to go in at all. Those who go in and pour tea and water are all the core members of the family. The content of the discussion can be imagined.

But Garrett didn't answer. He glanced at John the next time and asked, "Why?"

John was not surprised by this, he took a sip of the glass and then said, "I can make Rhodes Town more 'flat' and will always maintain this balance."

"Hahahahaha~" His words made Garrett laugh, and then the laughter got louder.

John was very calm about this, and motioned for the servant to add another glass of whisky to him.

After laughing, Garrett said to him, "If Inspector Wake can show your ability to 'balance' within a week, I will consider letting you join the 'balance' in Rhodes Town."

"Ah~ a very reasonable request." John nodded.

After saying this, Garrett said to the servant beside him, "Listen to me sending Inspector Wake out of here."

Having said that, he got up and went upstairs.

And John didn't say much about this. When the servant politely invited him to leave, he also got up and left with a smile.

After that, he did not leave Rhodes Town, but took a shower and wrote a letter to Kane, his chief executive in Blackwater Town, after getting the best room in the biggest hotel, followed by a meal break. .

On the other side, in the city center of Saint Denis, somewhere in the back garden of a very large manor, there are 'Arthur, Dutch, Hosea, and Bill.

After the four of them came here, they showed the invitation cards. After the guards collected the firearms, they took them to see the largest local gang, the leader of the Italian mafia, Browning.

Browning is very happy to chat with his friends in Saint Denis.

After seeing the Dutch and the four, he was very happy and said to them, "Ah~ha~ angry cowboys~ you guys are here, haha ​​and I took a shower~"

After saying this, he said to the people around him in Italian, "This must be the first time I have taken a bath this month."

The people around them all laughed lightly.

Naturally, Dutch and the others could not understand Italian, and the government officials around them were all banquet veterans. Browning and their mockery made Dutch and others unable to see anything.

"The banquet you invited us to looks really good." Dutch smiled and shook hands with Browning.

"Yes, it's pretty good, although I don't know where it's good. Hehehe~" Browning said mockingly.

Dutch also chuckled twice, then turned to look at the high-ranking government officials and celebrities who were gathering under the balcony.

"So~ this is the high-class party in Saint Denis?" Dutch said with an inexplicable expression.

"Haha~ Yes, that's what it looks like." Browning responded with a smile.

"Are these~ are these your friends? Mr. Browning?" Dutch asked.

"No~no~no~" Browning took the cigar handed over by the servant and said, "Not all of them, and in the eyes of many people, they are more afraid of me." Browning said mockingly.

Browning pointed to one of the gentlemen and introduced Dutch, "Like this, this poor bastard, he is the mayor, Henri Lemieux."

"This guy can do anything for money, really, anything, hehe~" Browning gave his unique laugh as he said.

"Politics is a dirty business," Dutch said after lighting the cigar.

"Yes~ oh~ and that one, that clown, is Alberto Fausal. He owns an entire sugarcane plantation on an island not far away, and he comes here to find happiness among prostitutes. hehe~"

"Oh~ and this one." He pointed to a fat man in his sixties, who was also attached to a very beautiful young woman.

Browning said, "That's Hobart Crowley, a major in the Confederacy~ who fought in the Civil War. Everyone said he was a hero, and he was surrounded by~ his young and beautiful wife."

"A young lover, this is quite common here, isn't it?" Browning explained to his friends.

"But isn't it particularly strange to have a young wife?"

Several people flattered Browning with great approval.

"Oh~ and the one over there, the Indian red pigskin." Browning pointed to the two Indians with long black hair and suits.

"I don't sympathize with them, because no matter who they are, they are so stupid that they are fooled by the Americans, and they deserve to end up like this for so long, right~ Hehehe~" Browning mocked these people wantonly.

"Oh~ by the way, send a letter to the mayor, then the mayor of Saint Denis may save you, hahaha~" Browning moved towards the two Indians.

The people around also laughed lightly.

Then Browning suddenly stared at one of the people in his forties, and said with a serious expression, "And that ~ Hector Fellowes. A self-righteous newspaper boss."

This is Browning turning his head to Dutch and saying, "Maybe~ maybe you can help me kill him that day."

Hearing this sentence ~ Dutch reacted instantly ~ then turned to Browning and said with a smile, "That ~ we are not professional killers ~ at least we won't kill people intentionally."

Dutch said it very seriously.

Now it was Browning's turn with a puzzled expression, and then he said, "I didn't know you were so particular~ You don't even want to help your friends?"

After hearing this, Dutch responded without hesitation, "Oh~ I'm very willing to share your worries with you~ I just need a reasonable and legitimate reason."

Browning nodded dazedly when he heard it, and said with an inexplicable expression, "I'll pretend to understand what you're talking about."

Dutch still said sincerely, "I don't mean to offend~ sir."

Browning waved his hand generously and said, "Oh~ it's okay~ haha~ it's okay~ haha."

Arthur, who heard the conversation between the two, remembered what John said last night, "Maybe he needs you to help him do more important things next time, and it's definitely not as simple as punishing a few tomb robbers."

Arthur wanted to say something for Dutch, but Dutch had already spoken firmly, so he was no longer able to speak.

Browning turned his head to look at the people under the balcony and said to himself, "These vulgar guys, they all hate me."

Then Browning waved to the people below and said in Italian, "I hope you scumbags who hate me all die."

"Hahaha~"

A few friends who could understand Italian on the balcony almost all started laughing.

At this moment, Dutch said, "It's really refreshing to chat with you~ but I know you're very busy, so we won't bother you much."

When Browning heard it, he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes~ Yes~ Go and enjoy yourself~ Let's mix with the vulgar scum of the following group of people."

"At that time, you will miss the good times when you would draw your gun and get along with the bulls and horses." Browning said mockingly.

When the few people around him saw Browning's disgraceful taunt, they naturally began to chuckle with color.

And Dutch's face changed after hearing this~ but then he showed a smile and said to him, "It's really a good time, have a good time~ gentlemen."

"Well, Mr. have a good time." Browning's eyes flashed when he saw Dutch's face changed and then a smile on his face.

After Dutch and the others turned to leave, Browning turned his eyes for a moment and then asked Dutch, "I'm curious for the last question, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

Dutch turned to look at Browning and said, "We~ um~ well, we need money~"

Browning nodded when he heard it. "Yeah~money~ of course." Then he thought for a while and said, "Well, at~the tram station can get money, where do they keep a lot of cash during the day, and now I don't touch that kind of thing anymore."

"But you~ you outsiders~ can~ let it go~ Okay, that's it, gentlemen, I wish you a good time."

"Goodbye." Dutch waved his hand after hearing this and led Arthur down the stairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the balcony, Dutch's face turned bad, but then he became relaxed and happy again.
