Red Dead Redemption: The Great Philanthropist of the West
Chapter 47 The Great Heist
As the two bounty hunters rushed towards the wounded Jenny, about to seize her, Henry, who had been observing the situation from a distance, shot them, disarming them. They were then knocked unconscious, bound, and thrown aside by Robert and Smith, who were lying in ambush at the alley entrance.
"Henry?" Jenny asked uncertainly, looking at the man who appeared before her like a hero. Mainly because it was dark, and Henry was not only masked but also wearing a wig and a cowboy hat. Unless someone was very familiar with him and looked closely, they wouldn't be able to recognize him at all. The other members were dressed similarly.
This was Henry's requirement: before doing anything bad, one must learn to hide oneself and do a good job of disguising oneself.
Before setting off, they all completed their disguises under Zhang Wei's guidance and removed anything that could easily reveal their identities. After some time, Henry also planned to have two sets of ornaments secretly made, one as tokens for the armed squad and the other for their core allies.
"No, I'm Alexander, little Jenny. Congratulations on giving your thigh a beautiful gunfight," Henry teased Jenny.
"Get lost, Henry! I've been an explorer before! Help me away, it's not safe here. Also, I just heard a lot of gunfire coming from the docks. We need to notify Arthur to go and support Dutch and Mike. And we don't know if Uncle can escape." Hearing Henry's voice, Jenny finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart quickly calmed down.
Although she had been with the Fan gang for a few months, they had spent most of their time hiding in the foothills of the mountains, avoiding capture, and hadn't had the opportunity to participate in gang activities, except for the time she volunteered to join the purge of the Skinning Brothers gang. This was her first time doing something bad. To be honest, she was a little nervous and excited, but not at all enjoyable; it felt like being a thief.
"Don't worry, don't let his drunken appearance fool you. He's actually a seasoned veteran, very shrewd, and not so easy to catch. In his youth, he was known as 'One-Shot Kid,' meaning he could take down an enemy with just one bullet, though I don't know if that's an exaggeration."
As for Arthur, you don't need to notify him. He heard the noise a long time ago and is probably on his way. You should worry about yourself. If you don't treat your wound, you'll bleed to death." Without waiting for her to speak, he had Dr. Jones come over to help treat her wound, then carried her on his back and quietly sneaked back to his pharmacy.
Meanwhile, a fierce gunfight was taking place on Dutch's side while Henry was rescuing Jenny.
The commotion had initially drawn the attention of many guards and bounty hunters. Dutch and his group easily infiltrated the ship's hold where the money was hidden. He found it strange that the ship was so quiet and unguarded.
But when things come to a head, there's no time to worry about anything else. We've come this far, there's no turning back now.
However, after they took out the huge amount of US dollars and gold from the ship's hold, many Pinkerton detectives surrounded them from all directions, leaving Dutch and his men with no choice but to cower in a corner and fight back.
At first, relying on the excellent marksmanship of the Fan gang, they fought back and forth with many Pinkerton detectives, and even had a slight advantage over Pinkerton.
However, with the arrival of Landon Ricketts, he first shot Mike, the most reckless and charging at the forefront, in the arm holding his gun, crippling Mike's fighting ability. Then he shot David, who was rescuing Mike, hitting him squarely in the left shoulder. Fortunately, it didn't significantly affect his combat effectiveness. However, the Van Gang members no longer dared to recklessly expose themselves and were instead suppressed.
Dutch was increasingly anxious, seeing that his firepower inside the ship's cabin was disadvantageous, while reinforcements from Pinkerton, bounty hunters, and police officers continued to arrive from the shore. He even spotted two moving Maxim guns. If they couldn't find a way out soon, they would all be wiped out. He was in his prime and didn't want to die; he had many plans to implement.
Suddenly he remembered that when he sneaked in earlier, he saw a luxurious cabin on the second floor, with bright lights and many glamorous figures moving around inside.
“Javier, David, Mike, the three of you will stay here and hold off the enemy, providing cover for us. John, Micah, Bill, you come with me to the second floor. There must be many high-ranking people there. We must take hostages and break out, or we will all die here. After we get the hostages, David, you two come back up.”
"Ready, fire, charge!" As soon as Dutch finished speaking, our little Mago John charged out first. As a result, another person was injured. Of course, it had an effect. At least it attracted Langdon's attention and gave everyone an opportunity to frantically pull the trigger and fight back.
Dutch and his men rushed into the VIP lounge. They fired two shots directly at the locked door, then released Bill, who used a back-to-mountain stance from Xingyi Quan to smash the door two meters away, sending everyone in the VIP cabin trembling in fear.
Dutch didn't care about anything else. He grabbed a girl huddled to the side, pressed a gun against her head, pushed her forward, and shouted at Langdon and Pinkerton, "Stop! All of you stop, or I'll kill her right now!"
Seeing this, everyone was at a loss and temporarily ceased fire. David and Havel took the opportunity to bring the money to Dutch's side.
“Dutch van der Linde, release the hostages. You can’t leave here. You’re surrounded. Killing the hostages is just adding to your sins. Put down your guns and surrender immediately. Everyone else except you has a chance to live. You…” But before Milton could finish speaking, Dutch shot the female hostage in the head. He then took a gentlemanly man from Bill. It was Bob Wright, one of the high-ranking officials of the North District Bank.
“Come on, e on, you go ahead! I don’t believe you dare drag so many people down with you, let so many nobles and their money be buried with us cowboys. We’re not losing out!” Dutch shouted frantically at Milton, gesturing for Javier to prepare for a spending spree.
Seeing Dutch's frenzied state, John, Javier, and David felt uneasy and began to doubt Dutch's self-proclaimed chivalrous thief. However, now was not the time to think about such things. They quickly composed themselves and decided to escape first and then worry about the future.
“OK, you win, Dutch. Release the hostages. If you hand over the money, I'll let you leave Blackwater. If you insist on taking the money, I can only let you return to shore and then hunt you down. Otherwise, start killing now and see who dies first.” Pinkerton didn't care if the passerby hostage died; some sacrifices were inevitable when capturing criminals, and he could just embellish it in the newspapers afterward. But the deaths of a group of noble lords and the loss of a huge sum of money were something he couldn't afford to do. He could only come up with this temporary solution.
