Red Dead Redemption: The Great Philanthropist of the West

On the gallows, the newly appointed director, Habbs, is delivering a passionate speech.

This was his first public appearance since becoming the head of the East District police force, and also a rare highlight in his previous police career.

Upon seeing someone being executed, hundreds of onlookers had already gathered below the stage, and the number was rapidly increasing. Meanwhile, the corrupt mayor Lemieux and the disguised Dutch were hidden among the crowd.

Dutch's appearance had changed drastically. His once clean-cut face was now covered with stubble, and he wore a tattered hat that covered most of his face.

However, the biggest change is in his foot. Due to delayed treatment, his left leg has been left with serious sequelae, and he walks with a limp, just like the image of those poor people at the bottom of society who cannot get treatment for their injuries.

He was leaning on a cane, his expression somber, hiding in a corner, silently observing everything around him. He wasn't necessarily there to rescue Micah; he just found Micah easy to use and, given Micah's current severe lack of combat strength, had come to see if there was any chance, just in case. However, upon seeing the heavily guarded men surrounding Micah, he dismissed the idea and slowly retreated from this large-scale spectacle.

He had gone to such lengths to save his life; he couldn't let it all go to waste. Otherwise, how could he face Abraham, who had risked his own life to save him from the jaws of a crocodile, and the kind people and doctors who had lost their lives taking him to the hospital?

Just as Dutch disappeared, Micah seemed to spot a familiar figure and excitedly cried out, "Woo woo woo..." But his mouth was gagged with wood, so people couldn't hear what he was saying and assumed he was just scared before he died.

"ladies and gentlemen:

Today, we gather here to witness the execution of this heinous criminal.

As Harbis recounted Micah's numerous crimes, including but not limited to the nationally infamous Blackwater ferry robbery, the heinous revenge killing that decimated most of the Strawberry Sheriff's Office and murdered more than a dozen innocent civilians, the massacre of the Rhodes families, and the multiple robberies and brutal murders of ranchers, carriages, and passersby by three generations of the Bell family members.

This attracted a crowd of onlookers who loudly berated Micah. Some couldn't resist picking up stones and mud from the ground and throwing them at him. One particularly brazen child even defecated in public and smeared it on Micah's face, causing the onlookers to vomit up their breakfast in a gesture of 'celebration'...

This caused chaos and briefly spiraled out of control. Order was only gradually restored after guards formed a human wall to separate the crowd of melon enthusiasts.

"This is a solemn and dignified moment, representing not only the punishment of crimes but also symbolizing social justice and the authority of the rule of law."

"For years, he has committed countless evils without any remorse, and we should not have any pity for him."

"Now, let us send him to meet God, so that the all-powerful God may save this filthy and pitiful soul!"

As Chief Harbis announced the start of Micah's execution, the crowd erupted in frenzied cheers.

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

Sensing the outrage of the crowd, Habis quickly signaled Professor Bell III, who was presiding over the electrocution, to begin his performance, while his gaze involuntarily turned to the cameramen and reporters taking pictures in front of him.

This was Henry's arrangement, which was to publish extensively in the newspapers, spreading images of the criminals being executed through all of his newspapers throughout the West and even the entire Union, so that the criminals would realize the consequences of their crimes.

Henry even planned to have Micah portrayed as a major villain based on his life story, creating a legendary script that would use the execution scene as key material to be shown on the big screen in the theater for all the public to watch.

At that time, he, Tomashki Habis, as the presiding officer of this execution, will become widely known and celebrated for his positive image through newspapers and theater performances. He will become the glory and pride of his family, and may even have his own page dedicated to the family genealogy, extending downwards from him.

This was the highlight of his life, and he was extremely fortunate to be able to join the Allen family.

After Professor Bell launched into a pointless boast about his invention, the electric chair, he finally pulled the switch before the crowd could resist throwing mud at him.

However, the humane 'euthanasia' he had imagined did not occur. Instead, Micah's painful screams rang out, screams that sounded utterly horrific and made one's heart ache.

Professor Bell, unconvinced, pulled the switch again. He was very confident in his invention and was sure it was just a minor accident.

However, the result was not as he had hoped. Apart from Micah's hysterical cries of pain and pleas for mercy coming again, Micah did not die.

Seeing Professor Bell about to pull the switch a third time, Micah was filled with anger and fear. If Micah could speak now, he would definitely want to say: Please, have some decency, just shoot me, or hang me, I really don't want to suffer like this anymore.

"It's hard...unbelievable. His life may have been full of misfortune...but his departure was peaceful!"

Seeing this, Professor Bell felt embarrassed and was about to pull the switch for the third time, ignoring the jeers of the onlookers, when Henry stepped forward and stopped him.

Henry naturally had to be there to witness this grand, satisfying, and memorable scene. If Arthur hadn't been sent to the east to escort Little Finger's family, he would have definitely brought Arthur along to enjoy it together.

When Henry appeared, there was a brief silence in the crowd, and Habbs quickly came down from the stage and walked to Henry's side.

“Professor Bell, I think you could try placing a damp sponge on the prisoner’s head. This can greatly enhance the conduction of the electric current and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of electrocution.”

"Moreover, your cheap insulating gloves have already been damaged after being subjected to two electric shocks. If you don't want to go to the 'wonderful' kingdom to meet God with the prisoners, I suggest you change into a good pair of gloves before you come."

Although Professor Bell's character was not very good, Henry still recognized his talent and did not want to waste it by letting him die a miserable death because of his invention.

Henry also wanted to recruit Professor Bell and acquire his patents on film cameras so that he could improve film cameras and projectors to develop the film industry.

After Henry's reminder, Professor Bell quickly realized his mistake, thanked Henry respectfully, and soon completed the modification again.

With the power switch pulled, Micah, the notorious criminal, after a series of involuntary convulsions, was transformed into a series of black-and-white photographs amidst the flashing lights of the camera, which were then circulated across the West via newspaper headlines, bringing his criminal life to a perfect close.
