When John Jacob Astor saw the butler's appearance, he thought he was here to report the good news of the land sale. He was in a good mood immediately, leaned back on the large chair, and took a comfortable sip from his folder.
With the cigar in his hand, he asked calmly.
"how's it going?"
The butler did not answer directly after he asked the question. He still stood there with his head lowered. After a while, he hesitated to speak.
"They, they stopped purchasing! All those lands are in our hands and can't be sold!"
"What?!"
John Jacob Astor's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, and his hands shook uncontrollably as if he had Parkinson's disease. The cigar between his fingers immediately fell to the desk, leaving the precious yew wood behind.
There was a dark scorch mark on the surface of the desk.
But how could he care about this at this time? After the initial shock and astonishment, John Jacob Astor finally realized that he had been plotted!
He knew from the beginning that he was the one manipulating the land prices, and he guessed his purpose, so he simply used his plan to buy the land at a high price with him, playing along with him, making himself think that he was bound to win the land, and finally seduced him.
Plan, mobilize all the forces, and buy all the remaining land in the three major areas first.
In the end, all the land fell into his hands. Apart from Chen Mo, it was impossible for anyone else to take over and spend such a huge amount of money to buy land in the suburbs. With this money, they would rather invest in real estate in New York City.
Or stocks, no matter what, the return is much higher than buying these remote lands.
John Jacob Astor thought he had figured out Chen Mo's thoughts, so he mobilized almost all the liquidity in his name and invested in this land acquisition. He confidently planned to trick Chen Mo and take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, the last transaction fell into Chen Mo's trap and all the funds were trapped.
At this time, John Jacob Astor was completely angry and angry. He no longer cared about his reputation as the richest man in the United States and a civilized businessman. He completely tore off the disguise of civilization and revealed the ferocious and ferocious side of himself when he was a fur trader.
In fact, in these years, he has only been pretending on the surface. In private, he still used ruthless methods and killed many people who blocked his way.
This time, he just underestimated Chen Mo, a rich man from China. He wanted to use a "civilized" way to deal with Chen Mo, but since his apparent business methods couldn't defeat Chen Mo, he started fighting again.
Old idea.
"Call Rex!"
After being furious at the butler in the study, John Jacob Astor finally calmed down and said to the butler who lowered his head with a sinister look on his face.
…
The next night, a dozen big white men with guns on their waists and fierce expressions on their faces rode toward Chen Mo's manor in Brooklyn on high horses.
The entire Brooklyn area has been bought by Chen Mo and is still operated as a farm as before. Due to the huge area, although many farmers are employed here, it is still difficult to see people. It is late at night, and besides
In the flat and vast farmland under the moonlight, not a single person could be seen.
Just as they were running murderously towards the manor in the distance, which was the only light on in the dark night, a huge sound like a falling cannonball suddenly sounded above their heads.
Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions. They didn't have time to think about how there could be artillery shells falling here in the middle of the night, and they didn't hear the sound of artillery shelling at all. Everyone hurriedly rushed their horses to hide in all directions, trying to avoid the "cannonballs" falling from the sky!
But the next moment, as a huge sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded in front, everyone couldn't help but quickly reined in the reins and tried their best to stop the momentum of the horses.
After finally stopping the horse, the confused people couldn't help but look forward with shock on their faces.
They saw a jet-black armor that almost blended into the night, but reflected streaks of luster under the moonlight, appearing in front of them.
This set of armor looks a bit like a medieval knight's full-body armor, but its appearance is thicker, more handsome, and has sharp edges. It doesn't feel as bulky as ordinary armor. Instead, it feels as flexible as a human being.
This suit of armor, which came from nowhere, stood on the road like this. The bright white light in the eyes seemed to be staring at them with murderous eyes, making them feel palpitations.
As the gunmen under John Jacob Astor, they did not know how many competitors and enemies they had killed for him, and the number of people who died in their hands was countless, but they had never encountered a situation like today.
, what on earth is this steel armor falling from the sky like a cannonball!
The one who calmed down all these murderous killers with just one appearance was naturally Chen Mo, who was wearing a steel suit.
He originally thought that John Jacob Astor would come up with some other means to deal with him, but he didn't expect that he would run out of tricks so quickly. After being tricked by Chen Mo, he got angry and sent out a killer.
Chen Mo, who originally wanted to play with him, was too lazy to put it off any longer. He hadn't used the steel suit for a while, so he just happened to put it on and go for a ride!
So Chen Mo didn't wait for them to come to the manor, but directly put on the steel suit and went out to greet them.
After falling from the sky and stopping the group of killers, Chen Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense. The two pieces of armor on both sides of the suit's shoulders suddenly popped open, and two miniature bomb nests rose from the inside. Sixty miniature automatic tracking missiles were densely and neatly arranged inside.
missile.
In fact, energy weapons are the best weapons for destroying corpses and eliminating traces. However, Chen Mo has always used energy weapons before. Instead, the steel suit has been completely reduced to a flying tool. The weapons on it have never been used once. Chen Mo will use it this time.
I decided to try out the power of the weapons on the steel suit.
Under everyone's surprised and confused gazes, a dozen bullet-sized miniature automatic tracking missiles were shot out from the bomb nest at high speed, crossing arcs and flying towards a dozen killers whose expressions suddenly changed.
How could they avoid the speed of the miniature automatic tracking missile? Before the look of horror on their faces could fully emerge, let alone any reaction, in the horrified eyes of everyone, a dozen missiles
Almost at the same time, they all hit their targets accurately, knocking them off their horses and lying on the ground quickly losing their vitality.
More than a dozen horses lost control of their owners and slowly walked around aimlessly. Some even walked directly to the fields to eat the crops.
