Chapter 43 Tavern disputes, release goodwill
It was not until after hearing about Rorschach's many deeds that Arthur and the uncle realized that the grocery store owner really didn't scare him, let alone exaggerate him.
They really didn't expect that the handsome young man who looked very young had such a high reputation in Valentine.
However, such a generous and capable person will be respected by others wherever he is.
"…So, if you want to find something to do, you can go to Roche Company. Mr. Roche is very happy to help anyone in need. But don't cause trouble..."
"If Mr. Rorschach doesn't like you, then the whole Valentine won't like you!"
After saying that, the grocery store owner almost finished smoking his cigarette.
He threw away the cigarette butts, stomped on it with his feet, turned around and returned to the store.
Only Arthur and the uncle who looked at each other were left behind.
Recalling the rude behavior of Roxar nodding to him, but he did not respond, Arthur suddenly felt a little sorry.
He couldn't help but pull the brim of his hat and muttered in a low voice:
"It seems that this town is not what Hosia said, it is all mentally retarded..."
"Why do we have so much money? We make money and drink wine! We have always been like this."
After saying that, the uncle handed Arthur the Kentucky Bourbon he had just bought.
After taking a mouthful, Arthur wiped the corner of his mouth casually, agreeing very much: "Are you talking too much about him?"
Sitting on the bench, the two of them were drinking and bragging while feeling the warm breeze, and they were blowing their faces, very comfortable.
After a while, Mary Beth, among the trio, found the two of them, said that she pretended to be a maid, sneaked into a beautiful mansion, and collected good news:
A train full of wealthy men will pass by the desolate and quiet Scarlett meadow at night and head to St. Dennis!
Upon hearing the news, Arthur couldn't help but touch his chin that had just been shaved, and nodded in approval, "Sounds good... By the way, where are Karen and Tilly?"
"They should be in the tavern, for a while..."
Upon hearing this, Arthur frowned and then stood up, "I'll go over and see if something happened."
...
At the same time, Tilly and Karen are in trouble in the tavern...
Originally, the two of them planned to seduce the drunkards with their beauty, trick the other party into a hotel, and then rob them.
However, before they could find a suitable partner, a black cowboy who was drinking, recognized Tilly!
"Do you think I can't find you? Tilly!"
Looking at the black cowboy who was blocking her and smiling in front of her, Tillie couldn't help but be shocked.
She also recognized the other party, who was a member of her previous gang.
She hasn't seen these people for a long time since she left the gang and stole the gang's money.
But I didn’t expect that I encountered trouble as soon as I came out of the snow-capped mountains and returned to a civilized society.
She pretended to be calm, and she pretended not to know the other person and took a step back, "Sir, I don't know you,"
"You dirty bitch! Do you think you can just take our money and fly away? I tell you, there is no way!"
"Follow me!"
After saying that, the black cowboy reached out and grabbed Tilly's wrist, trying to steal the thief and traitor who stole the gang funds and then fled,
Tilly naturally quit.
She twisted her body and struggled desperately, yelling, trying to get the attention of the rest of the tavern:
"It has nothing to do with me no matter what you like! Let me go!"
Seeing this, Karen, who was standing beside him, also hurried over to help, "What do you want to do, let her go!"
However, the black cowboy pushed Karen to the ground.
Such rude and rude behavior made the guests who were already looking here unable to stand it.
Of course, Rorschach and Penelope, who were sitting in a corner of the tavern and enjoying lunch.
As early as when he walked into the tavern, he discovered Tilly and Karen, two familiar and unfamiliar faces.
The two of them had also noticed this young, handsome and extraordinary man.
However, when they saw Penelope holding Rorschach's arm, they instantly gave up the idea of coming forward to chat with him.
While having lunch, Rorschach was distracted from the movements of the two.
He is waiting for the right opportunity, an opportunity to release goodwill to the Vanderlin Gang...
And this opportunity was brought to him with the appearance of the black cowboy.
During this period, the bartender turned his attention to Rorschach several times and asked with his eyes whether to intervene, but Rorschach shook his head and refused.
Because, he wants to take action himself!
However, just as he was thinking like this, he did not expect that someone would move faster than him!
Penelope, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly:
"Hey! Let that lady go!"
This drink immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern.
Roxa was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth, showing a helpless smile.
Unexpectedly, I was still "robbed" by someone...
Looking in the sound, the black cowboy saw that the person who stood up was just a young girl dressed in kind, and a sneer appeared on her face.
He picked up the hem of the windbreaker and arrogantly reached out to pat the gun holster next to his thigh, warning in a deep voice:
"Miss, this is a private matter between me and her, it's not your business!"
Faced with the threats in the black cowboy's words, the eldest lady didn't care at all. She pointed to Tilly with a resistant face and analyzed calmly: "But in my opinion, this young lady obviously doesn't want to go with you!"
Seeing that Penelope stood up for him and was firmly held by his arms, Tillie seemed to have found a savior and immediately called for help:
"Miss, I don't know him, please help me!"
"Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black cowboy raised his other hand high, ready to teach the dishonest Tilly a lesson.
And at this moment, Rorschach, who had been waiting for the opportunity to appear, finally stood up:
"Sir, if you dare to do this, I promise you won't get out of this tavern!"
As soon as these words came out, the black cowboy's hand movements suddenly paused, and his eyes shot towards Luo Xia, who was speaking.
Although, Rorschach looks very young.
However, his intuition told him that this man was not an ordinary person.
He glanced at Luo Xia deeply, then slowly lowered his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? What does it have to do with her?"
"I don't know this lady. However, this lady has said no. If you make things difficult for her, you are doing some stupid things that will get you into the cell."
While speaking, Roche did not forget to lift the hem of the windbreaker and reveal the gun holster around her waist.
The next second, the other guests in the tavern, as if they had practiced in advance, stood up at the same time and stared at the black cowboy tightly.
The bartender behind the bar also took out a double-bar shotgun, and with a "bang", he lay on the table on the bar.
Faced with this kind of situation, the black cowboy who finally reacted, swallowed and let go of Tilly's hand without hesitation.
"You made a very serious mistake, Tilly Jackson!"
