Money Lending and Other Sins - VI.

2 comments

I met Herr Strauss on a cliff, and he gave me some debt collection jobs. The first target was J. John Weathers near Three Sisters. I rode through forests and a lake, found Weathers fixing a cart who had no money, just supplies. Suddenly, enemies attacked.

I took them out, but the cart caught fire. After the fight, his pregnant wife came out. He offered a silver necklace, but I refused. Told them to leave, then looted the enemies and rode to the next mission.

I was ready for another mission, so I went towards Herr Strauss. He was sitting on a log on a cliff, with a mesmerizing view. He was reading a book. I went closer to him to talk with him.

Arthur greeted Herr Strauss. He asked Arthur how he was, and Arthur replied he wasn't feeling that good. Then Herr Strauss asked if Arthur was ready for another mission, and Arthur agreed. Arthur needed to collect money from Strauss's debtors.

Then he gave Arthur a name, J. John Weathers, who was out on the road near Three Sisters. Arthur needed to head there first. And another man named Arthur Londonderry, who was in Annesburg.

So I got on my horse and started going towards the first debtor's location. I was going there very quickly. On my way, I faced a small lake. I crossed it riding my horse, and my horse almost drowned in that lake, but it looked pretty cool.

The first location was pretty far away from my location. I rode my horse through hills and forest for quite a long time, and it became dark, so I lit up a torch and started moving forward. I finally saw J. John Weathers near a cart.

I got off my horse and saw J. John Weathers was under the cart fixing it. Arthur called him by his name, and he came out. Then Arthur asked for the money, but he replied that he didn't have any. He offered his supplies instead of money.

He asked Arthur to protect him. While they were talking, some men came and attacked them. John took cover instantly, and Arthur stayed to protect the cart, as it was the payment. I started shooting at them and took out an enemy with a perfect headshot.

I was taking out the enemies with perfect headshots, but suddenly, one of the enemies shot the torch on the cart, and the cart caught fire. I then killed a running enemy with a perfect headshot.

I took out all the enemies, but the cart was fully on fire, and there was no way to stop it. John came out from hiding and looked at the cart hopelessly.

John called his wife to come out of hiding. She came out and she was pregnant. I was a little surprised because I hadn't noticed the woman while I was talking with John earlier. Anyway, John went towards her and quickly hugged her.

Arthur was a little sad about the whole situation. John offered a silver necklace to Arthur to repay the debt. I had an option to accept or refuse the payment, and I refused it like a very good man.
