At this time, Zachary Taylor completely believed what Viktor and James had said to him. Their master was stronger than them. He was almost omnipotent!
In the past, Zachary Taylor felt that it might have been an exaggeration due to their blind worship. At that time, he only thought that this "master" was just a little stronger than the two little fellows who were like ferocious beasts. With the two of them in front of him, Zachary Taylor could accept that there was someone stronger than the two of them.
But now it seemed that the other party was more than just a little stronger than the two of them. He was very likely to be as omnipotent as the two said!
Thinking of this, Zachary Taylor looked at Chen Mo with awe and gratitude.
At this time, he also regained some control of his body. He struggled to sit up from the bed, but his legs were still weak. He could only feel waves of numbness. After trying several times but still unable to move, he sat on the bed, bowed deeply to Chen Mo, and said sincerely.
"Sir, thank you for saving me!"
Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled and said in a gentle voice.
"Viktor and James were taken care of by you in the army a few years ago. Their strength has improved a lot. After they came back, they often mentioned you in front of me. They even said that when you retire again, they would invite you to stay at the manor for a few days."
Chen Mo paused for a moment, and Zachary Taylor couldn't help but look at Viktor and James, only to find that both of them had turned their heads away as if nothing had happened, as if they were too embarrassed to meet his gaze.
Zachary Taylor couldn't help but show a gratified smile. At least these two brats still have some conscience. They know that they miss me and even want to invite me over.
But what Zachary Taylor didn't know was that when the two heard Chen Mo stop here, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was a sentence after this sentence that Chen Mo helped them to omit.
At that time, they told Chen Mo that Zachary Taylor boasted that he had a huge cotton plantation. After the two of them mocked him in front of Chen Mo, they said that they would invite President Zachary Taylor to stay at the manor for a few days and let him see what a big farm was!
How could a small cotton plantation of three thousand acres be considered huge in front of a Brooklyn farm of more than sixty thousand acres? At that time, they would have to properly provoke this old man who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!
However, before the two of them could invite our President Taylor as a "guest," they received the news that he had contracted malaria due to overeating and passed away.
Because of this, the two little guys, who had always been carefree and didn't care about anyone except for Chen Mo, were depressed for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that he could clearly feel their sadness, Chen Mo would have thought that they were regretting that they didn't have the chance to make fun of President Zachary Taylor.
Although Zachary Taylor had come to Brooklyn, he had just come back to life and his body was still very weak. The two of them didn't want to agitate him too much.
Moreover, it was fine that they took the initiative to make fun of Zachary Taylor. If Chen Mo said it directly, the two of them would still feel a little uncomfortable.
Just when Zachary Taylor was gratified, and Viktor and James were secretly glad that Chen Mo didn't say their little thoughts, Chen Mo continued in his gentle and majestic voice.
"You are also one of the few friends of the two of them. Naturally, I can't watch you be killed by others."
Zachary Taylor was a little proud when he heard Chen Mo's first sentence, but when he heard Chen Mo's second sentence, his face couldn't help but change.
"What? You mean, I was killed by others? I didn't get malaria … "
Zachary Taylor said with a face full of disbelief.
As the supreme leader of the United States, the twelfth president of the United States of America, Zachary Taylor never thought that he would be killed by others. He only thought that he didn't pay attention to his diet and suddenly drank a large amount of ice milk and ate a large plate of cherries under extremely hot and thirsty conditions. This caused him to get malaria and die of sudden illness.
But now, from Chen Mo's mouth, he heard a shocking piece of news. He was actually killed by others!
He didn't have any doubts when he was sick before, so he didn't think deeply about this matter. Now it seemed that this matter was indeed a bit strange.
He originally asked the waiter at the White House for water and food, but the waiter brought him a large pot of iced milk and cherries that were actually not very filling.
When a person was suddenly given a large pot of cold milk in a hot and thirsty situation, most people's instinctive reaction would be to drink it all in one go. The sweet, juicy, and very easy to eat cherries would usually be eaten by a large plate in one go, let alone a hungry person like him.
It was obvious that he had fallen into someone else's trap. The other party had obviously premeditated this. They had deliberately used this method to create the appearance of him overeating so that it would not arouse his suspicions. They had laid the groundwork for him to catch malaria and die a few days later. It did not seem so abrupt.
Now that he thought about it, with his strong physique tempered by more than forty years of military career, although he was not as strong as the two little beasts, Viktor and James, it was absolutely impossible for him to die of sudden illness just because he drank a pot of iced milk and ate a plate of cherries.
Someone really killed him!
Moreover, what was terrible was that he, the president of the United States of America, was really killed by others!
"What the hell is going on?"
Zachary Taylor looked at Chen Mo with a shocked face, wanting to get an answer from him.
"That pot of milk was added with arsenic."
Zachary Taylor was shocked and angry. No wonder, I asked for water, but what was served was milk. Only by adding arsenic to milk could it hide the presence of arsenic!
"Who the hell is it?!"
Zachary Taylor asked with grief and indignation. Since he became the president, he had always prioritized national interests and never considered his own personal gains and losses. He didn't expect to end up like this. How could he not be sad and angry?
Thinking of what he had done during his time as the president, an answer instantly emerged in Zachary Taylor's mind.
"Is it those slave owners in the south?!"
