When John Jacob Astor saw the steward's expression, he thought that the steward was here to report the good news of the land sale. Immediately, he was in a good mood. He leaned back on the wide chair and took a puff of the cigar in his hand before asking unhurriedly.
"How is it?"
The butler didn't answer directly after he asked. He still stood there with his head down. After a while, he said hesitantly.
"They, they stopped buying! Those lands are all in our hands. They can't be sold! "
"What?!"
John Jacob Astor's eyes widened when he heard the words. His hands trembled uncontrollably as if he had Parkinson's disease. The cigar between his fingers fell on the desk, burning a dark burn mark on the surface of the expensive yew wood desk.
But at this time, he didn't care about this. After the initial shock and astonishment, John Jacob Astor finally realized that he had been tricked!
At the beginning, he knew that he was the one who manipulated the land price behind the scenes, and he guessed his purpose, so he simply beat him at his own game. He bought the land with him at a high price and cooperated with him to act. He made him think that he was determined to get these lands, and lured him to finally carry out his plan. He mobilized all his forces and bought all the remaining lands in the three major areas first.
In the end, these lands were all in his hands. Except for Chen Mo, there was no second person who could take over and take out such a huge amount of money to buy the suburban land. With this money, they would rather invest in real estate or stocks in New York City. No matter what, the returns were much higher than buying these remote lands.
John Jacob Astor thought that he had figured out Chen Mo's idea. He mobilized almost all the liquid capital under his name and invested it in this land purchase. He was full of confidence to trick Chen Mo and take the opportunity to make a lot of money. He didn't expect that in the end, he fell into Chen Mo's trap and had all his funds trapped.
This time, John Jacob Astor was completely furious. He no longer cared about the hat of the richest man in the United States and the civilized businessman. He completely tore off the civilized disguise and revealed his ferocious and cruel side as a fur merchant.
In fact, all these years, he was only pretending on the surface. In private, he still used ruthless methods to get rid of many people who stood in his way.
This time, he had underestimated Chen Mo, a rich man from Huaxia. He wanted to play a trick on Chen Mo. Originally, he wanted to deal with Chen Mo in a "civilized" way. However, since he couldn't win against Chen Mo in business on the surface, he came up with his old idea.
"Get Rex here!"
John Jacob Astor finally calmed down after unleashing a round of Thunder on the steward in the study room. With a vicious look, he said to the steward who was trying his best to lower his head.
…
The next night, more than a dozen fierce-looking white men with guns at their waists rode on tall horses toward Chen Mo's manor in Brooklyn.
The entire Brooklyn area had been bought by Chen Mo. It was still run as a farm as before. Due to the large area, although many farmers were employed here, it was still difficult to see people. It was late at night now. Other than the flat and vast farmland under the moonlight, there was no one to be seen.
Just as they were rushing toward the manor in the distance that was the only light in the night with murderous intent, a loud sound like a cannonball falling suddenly sounded above their heads.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. They didn't have time to think about how a cannonball would fall in the middle of the night, and they didn't hear the cannonball at all. They hurriedly urged their horses to dodge in all directions, trying to avoid the "cannonball" falling from the sky!
However, in the next moment, as a huge heavy object fell to the ground in front of them, everyone couldn't help but quickly pull on the reins and tried their best to stop the momentum of the horses.
After they finally stopped their horses, the chaotic crowd couldn't help but look in front of them with a face full of shock.
They saw a pitch-black armor that almost blended into the night, but reflected a luster under the moonlight, appearing in front of them.
This set of armor looked a bit like the full-body armor of a medieval Knight, but the appearance was thicker and more handsome, with sharp edges and corners. It gave people the feeling that it was far less bulky than ordinary armor. Instead, it gave people a feeling that it was as flexible as a human.
This set of armor that they didn't know where it came from stood on the road like this. The white light in the eyes seemed to be staring at them with murderous eyes, making them feel a sense of trepidation.
As gunmen under John Jacob Astor, they didn't know how many competitors and enemies they had killed for him. The number of people who died in their hands was uncountable, but they had never encountered a situation like today. What the hell was this Iron Man Armor that fell from the sky like a cannonball!
The one who appeared to suppress all these murderous killers was naturally Chen Mo in his Iron Man Armor.
He originally thought that John Jacob Astor would think of other ways to deal with him, but he didn't expect him to run out of tricks so quickly. After being tricked by Chen Mo, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and sent out an assassin.
Chen Mo, who originally wanted to play with him again, was too lazy to delay any longer. He hasn't used his Iron Man Armor for a while, so he just put it on and went for a ride!
So Chen Mo didn't wait for them to come to the manor, but directly put on his Iron Man Armor and came out to meet them.
After stopping the group of killers from the sky, Chen Mo was too lazy to talk any more nonsense. The two pieces of armor on both sides of the shoulders of the armor suddenly popped open, and two miniature bullet nests rose from inside, in which sixty miniature automatic tracking missiles were densely and neatly arranged.
In fact, energy weapons are the best weapons to destroy corpses, but Chen Mo has always used energy weapons before, and the Iron Man Armor has been completely reduced to a flying tool, and the weapons on it have not been used even once. Chen Mo decided to try the power of the weapons on the Iron Man Armor this time.
In front of everyone's puzzled eyes, more than a dozen miniature automatic tracking missiles the size of bullets shot out of the bullet nests quickly, crossing an arc and flying towards a dozen killers whose faces changed dramatically in an instant.
The speed of the mini automatic tracking missiles was not something they could dodge. The shock on their faces didn't even have time to completely surface, and they didn't even have time to react. Under everyone's horrified eyes, more than a dozen missiles accurately hit their targets at almost the same time, shooting them down from their horses. They lay on the ground and quickly lost their lives.
