When Viktor and James heard Zachary Taylor's question, they weren't as confused as he was. Instead, they were full of admiration and pride. Since the moment Chen Mo appeared in front of them on the night of their escape, the image of Chen Mo in their minds had always been an omnipotent existence. It was as if he could predict the future, and nothing could escape from his eyes!
James glanced at the short Old Taylor who was riding on the horse with a puzzled expression. Then, he thought about how Chen Mo was always calm and composed at all times. It was as if he knew everything. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zachary Taylor and said in an arrogant tone.
"Our Master is very powerful!"
Zachary Taylor naturally felt the disdain in James' tone. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and asked James angrily.
"You stinking brat! I really want to know what your Master does for a living. Is he more powerful than me, a general? "
Zachary Taylor didn't want to lose face in front of the two little guys, so he brought up his identity as a general.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just resigned from the military and was no longer a general.
The two of them didn't argue with him about this. After all, he was indeed a real general and the "great hero" of the US-Mexican war. He had a high reputation in the hearts of the army and the people.
But even so, in the hearts of Viktor and James, he was still far less powerful than Chen Mo.
"Old man Taylor, you can't even beat us, and you still want to compete with our Master?"
"You!"
Viktor was merciless with his words. Zachary Taylor was so angry that he wanted to punch this guy to death. However, as Viktor said, he was no match for the two little guys at all. He could only raise his hand and slap the broad back of his old horse, "Old Whitney."
But soon, Zachary Taylor understood the meaning of Viktor's words.
"You're saying that your Master is more powerful than the two of you?"
Zachary Taylor's face was full of disbelief when he said this. Viktor and James' strength had already made him feel that they were inhuman. There were even rumors in the army that the two of them were invulnerable and could not be killed. This showed how strong they were. After being in the army for more than 40 years, Zachary Taylor had seen countless people, but he had never seen anyone stronger than the two of them. There was not even anyone who could compare with them, not even by a little.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zachary Taylor wouldn't have believed that a human could be so powerful.
Zachary Taylor had always believed that the two of them must have been blessed by God, which was why they were able to possess strength and "luck" that far exceeded that of ordinary people. They were able to go through hundreds of battles without being injured at all.
Now that he heard the two of them say that someone was stronger than them, Zachary Taylor naturally found it hard to accept.
Viktor and James' strength was already inhuman. What kind of existence was stronger than them?
The legendary "demigod"?
But that seems to be Greek mythology, right? The Episcopal Church believed in God.
Zachary Taylor collected his thoughts and couldn't help but look at the two of them. Seeing Viktor and James nod at the same time, Zachary Taylor, who had a certain understanding of the two of them, knew that the two of them disdained to lie. He had to accept the fact that there really was someone more powerful than these two violent beasts!
"What exactly does he do?"
Zachary Taylor's face turned serious and asked the two of them sternly. His curiosity towards the "master" that the two of them spoke of was unprecedentedly strong.
"Our master is a farm owner!"
James' answer was still full of pride. It was as if as long as it was Chen Mo, even if he was a bandit, he would still say it with a tone full of pride.
"Farm owner? I'm also a farm owner, okay?! "
Hearing James say that the mysterious "master" was a farm owner, Zachary Taylor breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel the urge to compare.
"Why don't the two of you come with me to Kentucky? My cotton plantation is very big."
It seemed to be a casual remark, but in fact, Zachary Taylor really hoped that Viktor and James could go back with him. He still liked the two of them who were straightforward and straightforward.
However, he also knew that it was basically impossible from the two of them's expression when they talked about the "master."
"How big is your plantation?"
James asked.
Sure enough, the two of them directly ignored his previous sentence as if they didn't even consider it. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.
However, when he heard James' question, he still answered proudly.
"It's not very big, just more than three thousand acres."
This cotton plantation was not small at that time. After all, at that time, there was no professional agricultural machinery for large-scale farm operations. It relied on manpower. In order to cultivate this cotton plantation, Zachary Taylor bought hundreds of black slaves. He was considered a relatively large plantation owner in Kentucky.
In New York, there shouldn't be such a large plantation.
Zachary Taylor was full of confidence in his plantation and thought that he finally surpassed the mysterious and powerful "master" in some aspect. Who knew that Viktor and James looked at each other after he finished speaking and didn't speak for a long time.
When Zachary Taylor saw that the two of them didn't speak, he thought that the master they highly respected was defeated by him. The two of them were too embarrassed to speak, so he urged proudly.
"Why aren't you talking? How big is your master's farm?"
James heard his question and turned his head to look at him. He roughly estimated in his mind before he slowly spoke.
"It's not very big, just more than ten thousand times yours!"
Zachary Taylor widened his eyes and looked at the serious James, then turned his head to look at Viktor, who was showing two sharp canine teeth and gloating. His mind was in a mess.
Are you kidding me?!

In January 1848, the two sides officially began peace talks. On February 2, the two sides signed a peace treaty. Mexico ceded Texas, New Mexico, California, and other areas to the United States. The territory ceded was more than half of the total territory of Mexico, more than 1.9 million square kilometers.
This war that lasted for two years ended with the victory of the United States. California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming all became the territory of the United States.
