"They did say this," Sheriff Malloy said. "They said that if they catch you, you will be sent to Mr. Thomas Downs' ranch as soon as possible."

Brandy nodded thoughtfully, turned his horse's head and said, "Then I'll take my leave now. Mr. Sheriff, relax, I'll definitely give you a surprise tomorrow."

Eight men and eight horses rushed out of Valentine at high speed, leaving only Chief Malloy and his policemen looking at the smoke and dust they left behind, looking a little silly.

"Chief, why did you let him out?" a police officer under Chief Malloy asked with some annoyance.

"If I don't let him go, we will all be doomed today," Chief Malloy replied angrily to the policeman. Then, he looked at the billowing smoke and dust gradually disappearing on the horizon and murmured, "Besides, I believe

He, since he said there is a way, then there must be a way."

Horseshoe Lookout at night.

Around the campfire, all the members of the Van der Linde gang sat together and listened to Brandi share information.

"You're saying that Colm O'Driscoe and a cult called 'Seventh Generation' are going to kill Valentine with the purpose of catching you?" Dutch asked.

"You can say that," Brandi nodded and said, "After all, I sent two of the mid-level leaders of that cult to prison, and I also made Colm's plan to kidnap the eldest lady of the Cornwall family go through.

, I guess both of them are eager to chop me up alive now."

Arthur joked: "I didn't expect that the little baby who was still young on the snow-capped mountains has become so capable. I am very pleased." His words made almost everyone present laugh.

"Okay, let's all be serious, let's talk about business now," Dutch stopped everyone's laughter and said, "Now, Hosea, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

"If you ask me, we can actually run away now," Hosea took a puff of cigarette and said calmly, "Now Valentine is no longer safe, but now we are all here, not a single one of us is safe.

Not bad, so now, we'd better leave quickly and run far away. No matter whether that town will remain on the territory of this country in three days, it has nothing to do with us. Now, what we need most is

What I'm worried about is that Detective Pinkerton will catch up with us at some point following the scent and traces. As long as we run fast enough, those brats won't be able to catch up with us. We'll make a big circle in the east and then return.

In the West, by that time, the bounty will no longer make much sense, we can just buy a few pieces of land and live a retired life."

"But you overlooked one thing, my old man," Dutch said. "We are broke now and don't have a penny in our pocket. What will we use to buy the land? Our own bounty?"

"So, Dutch, what do you think?" Arthur asked.

"What do you mean," Dutch paused, then continued, "why don't we beat the hell out of Colm and his bunch of bastards in Valentine?"

"Dutch, are you crazy?" Hosea almost jumped up from his chair. He said, "The train ticket has attracted Cornwall's attention. According to Cornwall's temper, he will definitely

Detective Pinkerton was hired at a high price to investigate us. In other words, we have attracted the attention of Detective Pinkerton. Now there is just such an opportunity for Detective Pinkerton and other departments of the judiciary to divert their energy to those evil people.

Regarding the cultists and Colm, if they really make enough noise, then we might really be able to completely escape capture, so why do you want to get involved?"

"Because I hate Colm and I want him dead, it's that simple." Dutch said through gritted teeth.

"Dutch, although I hate Colm too, I don't think it's appropriate to end a relationship with them now," Arthur also advised, "Besides, the risk is too high for us to do this, but the return is too low.

The biggest gain from defending a town is reputation, but in our current situation, reputation is a burden we cannot bear."

"Then we don't want that reputation," Dutch said with a wave of his hand. "We give up all this reputation to that police chief, and then we ask for higher financial rewards. Doesn't this meet our needs?"

"

"Then have you thought about it later?" Hosea persuaded him earnestly, "Do you think we won't be investigated because we helped the police chief? Going there to get involved will only make us more noticeable.

.Let’s go, Dutch, this country is so big, where can’t we make a fortune?”

"However, precisely because this country is so big, there are not many opportunities to beat up Colm. I can even say that this is the only one." Dutch's eyes were filled with the flames of revenge at this time.

"Dutch," Arthur said, "didn't you say that revenge is a fool's game."

"While you can still move, people should be more stupid." Dutch waved his hand again, indicating that this topic could be ended, "Okay, I have made up my mind. I will go to Valentine to negotiate with the Sheriff tomorrow morning. You guys

There is no need to say anything more."

Hosea and Arthur looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Now that the boss has made up his mind, I have another unmerciful request." Seeing that the dispute between the gang leaders had ended, Brandy said in his heart that it was as expected.

"Say it, Brandi." Dutch looked at Brandi and said.

"I learned from the Sheriff that Colm's men also captured a little girl as a hostage. Although he didn't know where those guys took the little girl, the Sheriff said that those guys asked them to take the girl hostage.

I sent him to the Downs Ranch south of Valentine, so I guessed that the little girl was probably there. Even if she wasn't there, the ranch was probably a camp for those people. I wanted to take away the girl who suffered misfortune because of me.

Rescue the little girl."

"Humph, that guy Colm still likes to play dirty tricks," Dutch sneered at Colm O'Driscoe, and then said, "Well, this is what should be done, Bran

Dee, no matter what the situation is over there, going alone is the same as sending yourself to death."

Dutch immediately shouted: "Arthur, Charles, Lenny, you and Brandi, go and rescue the poor girl. If the girl is not there, kill everyone there and leave no one behind."

.”

"As you wish, Dutch."

Arthur responded and called to Brandi, Charles and Lenny to leave the bonfire together, mount their horses and run towards their next destination.
