Red Dead Redemption: The Great Philanthropist of the West
Chapter 100 Return to Blackwater
As one of the hopes for the ending of Arthur's Eagle, Dr. Alphonse's medical skills were naturally superb, and he charged very low fees for his patients, which showed that he was also a very good person. However, because of his skin color, he was not well received in this town that was once a slave-owning town. In order to prevent him from practicing medicine, the townspeople even had his medical supplies and carriage stolen.
Now that they'd run into each other, the two certainly wouldn't let it go. Perhaps Henry could invite Dr. Alphonse to Blackwater as his personal physician, since Dr. Jones only specialized in treating external injuries. Henry had always wanted to have an excellent internist on staff.
After a 'friendly' exchange, the two finally found Dr. Alphonse's carriage at McComb's base. Because it was very close to the giant python they had encountered the day before, the two did not dare to linger and quickly drove the carriage away from this dangerous place. They wondered how these bandits had managed to live here for so long without being killed by the giant snake.
On their way back, they encountered many people who tried to block their path, but the two politely escorted them back underground so that their family could reunite.
When Henry and his companions returned to the vicinity of the station, they found Dr. Alphonse still standing there. Finally, at Henry's invitation, Dr. Alphonse readily agreed to go to Blackwater together.
......
The following morning, after everyone had Rhodes' signature breakfast—wheat and milk—at the hotel, Henry and Lee saw Arthur off at the station.
“Arthur, are you really not going to come back to Quaker Bay Manor with me? Although it’s in Blackwater, believe me, no one will dare to cause trouble at my manor. Or you could go and see how the Calander brothers are doing.”
"No, Henry, I'll definitely go next time I have the chance. I'd love to see your grand estate."
The gang still needs me, so I can't be away for too long. Please give my regards to the Calander brothers and tell them to take good care of themselves. We welcome them back anytime.
"I've had a very exciting, comfortable, and enjoyable few days. If you need anything in the future, remember to come to me anytime."
"Also, next time I'll definitely show you my fishing skills. I'm not bragging, you believe me..."
As the train gradually disappeared into the distance, Arthur's voice slowly faded into the air.
Henry originally intended to give Arthur $1000 as payment for his guard duties over the past few days, but Arthur said it was a matter of mutual help between friends, and taking it would be impure for their friendship. So Henry didn't press him, saying there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
These past few days, the group hasn't just been rescuing people and fishing/hunting; Henry also took this rare opportunity to learn a lot about gun handling from Arthur and the woman in black. Although he could previously fight them to a standstill with his overpowered abilities, and with the added boost of his ridiculously potent healing potions, Henry was fearless in a one-on-one fight across the entire West, those were ultimately skills and physical attributes granted by his overpowered abilities.
His actual shooting skills weren't particularly high, but after the two men's guidance over the past few days, Henry felt he had a better grasp of many of the techniques he'd acquired through his "cheat code." He planned to recruit Ricketts and Old Deng back and have them mentor him. While he wouldn't say he could easily defeat his cousin in his prime, he'd certainly be the undisputed best after his "cheat code" was activated. However, he mostly delegated tasks to his subordinates, rarely demonstrating his abilities himself, so others subconsciously overlooked his combat prowess—his appearance was so deceptive.
After seeing Arthur off, Henry, along with the woman in black and Dr. Alphonse, arrived at Rhodes Wharf. They then boarded their own small steamer, crossed the tranquil Lake Iron, and returned to the long-missed Quaker Bay estate.
In the afternoon, the ship docked at his own pier, where William the butler, along with the Calander brothers, Robert, and numerous servants and guards, lined both sides of the road to welcome him home.
Although the woman in black and Alphonse had heard on the ship that Henry was a wealthy man, in their minds he was just someone with modest assets. After all, what kind of big boss would look so young, dressed like a cowboy, and help them kill someone and steal back his carriage...?
Upon seeing the scale of the manor and the welcoming scene, both women were stunned, their eyes filled with awe. Both were well-traveled individuals—one had been on the run for over 20 years, the other a doctor from an eastern city—yet they were still astonished by the vast manor before them, finding it hard to believe that it was all the foundation laid by this young man.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Allen, welcome home!"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Allen, welcome home!"
......
"Hey bro, you're finally back! That's great! You have no idea how much these past few days have been..."
"Ahem, ahem... Mike, we'll talk about this when we get back. Let Henry go back and rest first. Welcome back, Henry."
Compared to the respect shown by William and his servants and guards, the Calander brothers were more casual, but it was clear that they were also very happy to see Henry return, and they joined the others in welcoming him.
Henry waved to everyone, indicating that there was no need to be so polite, and then dismissed the servants and guards. He then led the woman in black, Dr. Alphonse, and Li Yi, along with William, Carland, and Robert, towards the manor, chatting and laughing.
Along the way, many patrolling guards saluted Henry and his party. Most of them were new recruits or trainees that Robert had trained in the past two months. Many of them had never met the big boss before, but they were all grateful to Henry for providing them with the job. They asked the older guards about him and came to get to know him so as not to accidentally offend the big boss without realizing it.
After all, Henry pays a high salary, and there aren't many complicated twists and turns here. As long as you work hard, everyone can live comfortably and no one wants to give up this rare good job.
Upon entering the hall, Butler William had already meticulously arranged the banquet. The servants carefully presented each dish, which was exquisite in color, aroma, and taste, as if artists were displaying their masterpieces.
Henry, having spent most of the day on the ship, was starving. He warmly invited everyone to sit down and enjoy the sumptuous meal. He then formally introduced the beautiful woman in black and Dr. Alphonse to everyone.
After a hearty meal, Henry instructed his butler, William, to take the woman in black and Dr. Alphonse to the annex where the special forces were stationed to choose their rooms. They would then reside there and enjoy the same benefits as the special forces members.
"That's enough for today. Everyone's tired, so get some rest. We can talk about other things tomorrow."
Henry greeted everyone and asked his maid, Freya, to prepare hot water for him, as he wanted to take a relaxing hot bath.
......
It's unusual for me to be up so late ^-^, thank you everyone for the gifts!
