Chapter 449: Self-Defeating (I)
Although Chu Tianjiang did not make a clear statement on whether to join the Jewish group, Christopher was still very enthusiastic and held a welcome dinner for him.
Like Monica, Christopher lives on a manor in the northern suburbs of Denver.
It is a manor hidden in the woods, not only are the scattered bungalows shaded by trees, but even the three-storey main villa is hidden under the canopy of dozens of large trees. Because most of the buildings are timber-framed houses, the estate gives the impression of being completely immersed in nature.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang feels that the layout of the manor is a bit of a snake, or it is Dongshi's imitation.
That is, Denver is located in the water-scarce and arid Midwest, not far from the famous Grand Canyon of Colorado, surrounded by deserts, Gobi, grasslands and savannas, without dense forests, so the woods in this estate have become the most striking landmark.
If trees are planted to make the estate more private, then it has the exact opposite effect.
When Chu Tianjiang arrived, the other guests had already arrived. In addition to the other four rabbis, Christopher invited Denver's celebrities, as well as other powerful people, agents of other chambers of commerce in Denver, and the general affairs of some large caravans. When entering the hall, Chu Tianjiang roughly estimated that there were about two hundred guests who were invited, and there were nearly two thousand people in total, including the female guests and entourage who accompanied him.
Christopher did not rush to introduce Chu Tianjiang to the guests, but took Chu Tianjiang upstairs.
It's just that when Chu Tianjiang took Nicol and the others into the hall, they became the focus of attention, and everyone was not staring at the seven dazzling beauties, but Chu Tianjiang, even those male guests who were obsessed with lust looked at Chu Tianjiang intently.
Obviously, this is a follow-up to Monica's death.
Although the Jewish group did not announce the news of Monica's death, and the Denver Chamber of Commerce did not release any news, the news of Monica's tragic death a few days ago had already spread, and there were many rumors and rumors, and many rumors were directly or indirectly related to Chu Tianjiang. As a result, Chu Tianjiang became a household name in Denver in just a few days, and almost everyone thought that he killed Monica.
In the afternoon, when Zhong Ruirui told Chu Tianjiang about what she had heard, Chu Tianjiang was even more convinced that the Jewish group would not let him join at all, but was just using this opportunity to get him to leave Lakewood, and then attack Lakewood, eliminating the Asian group in one fell swoop.
Thinking that those guests looked at him, Chu Tianjiang was even more sure of this judgment.
The reason is simple, will the Jewish clique invite a man who killed a rabbi to join? If this precedent is set, is it possible for anyone to kill a rabbi and replace him? What is more serious is that this is tantamount to the whole group compromising with the murderer of the rabbin, and it is tantamount to compromising with one person, which will inevitably lead to the disrepute of the Jewish group, and it is tantamount to admitting that the Jewish group does not even have the ability to confront one person.
As an interest group based on hegemony, this is tantamount to asking for its own death.
If the news had not leaked, perhaps the Jewish clique would have extended an olive branch to Chu Tianjiang, but the news had leaked, and the Jewish clique would have no choice.
So, will Stephani be here?
Chu Tianjiang felt that it was very likely that Stephani would come out in person. That is, as long as Stephanie has enough thoughts about the energy body, she will know that the gap in the strength of the energy people is difficult to make up for in numbers, and Chu Tianjiang can kill Monica, and he can also kill other rabbi. If you want to kill Chu Tianjiang, you need a more powerful energy person, and the only one who is more powerful than Rabi is Stephani who is the big rabbi.
In addition, there is another benefit to Stephanie directly attacking Chu Tianjiang.
That is to say, Stephani can take action to kill Chu Tianjiang, which can restore the prestige of the Jewish group in one fell swoop, so that those separatist forces that are ready to move will dispel the idea of dealing with the Jewish group as soon as possible, consolidate the hegemony of the Jewish group, and safeguard the interests of the Jewish group.
Obviously, that's why Christopher invited so many people to come.
When the time comes, as long as Stephani subdues Chu Tianjiang in public, the guests attending the dinner will be the best propagandists, and they will bring the news to various places, so that everyone will know that the Grand Rabbi of the Jewish group will personally come forward and get rid of the murderer of Monicaby in one fell swoop. As long as Stephani does a clean and beautiful job, I am afraid that no one will dare to provoke the Jewish group in the future, let alone deal with the rabbi of the Jewish group.
Stephanie will definitely come!
While thinking about this, Chu Tianjiang had already followed Christopher to the outside of the study.
"Mr. Chu, can we talk about it alone?" Christopher glanced at Nicol and the others who were following Chu Tianjiang, meaning to let Nichol and the others wait outside.
"No problem." Chu Tianjiang smiled and nodded at Nicol and the others, "You guys go to the hall to have fun, I'll come to you later." ”
When Nicol and the others entered the corridor, Christopher pushed open the door and led Chu Tianjiang into the study.
The study is huge, almost half a floor, just not many bookshelves. To the left of the entrance is a large fireplace, a specimen of a reindeer's head and neck hangs from the flue, and next to a display shelf several meters long, on which are placed some commemorative medals and trophies, it seems that Christophe was a member of a hunting club before the cataclysm, and has won many awards in the club's competitions. On the right-hand side is a cabinet for displaying wine utensils and wines, and there are many famous wines that Chu Tianjiang can't name at all. On the left wall hang several paintings, all of which are some years old, perhaps the work of some famous Renaissance artist. On the right is a row of strong bookcases, but instead of some professional books, some literature and religious books are placed inside. Directly opposite is the window facing the main door, and the desk is next to the window. In the center of the study is a circle of sofas, each with a small coffee table for drinks and refreshments. As with the entire estate, the furnishings are mostly wooden, which makes them look heavy.
"Mr. Chu, what do you want to drink?"
"Whatever, I don't have any research on alcohol." Chu Tianjiang walked around the study in a counterclockwise direction, and deliberately stayed in front of the display shelf for a while.
"That's the old one."
"Before?"
Christopher walked over with two wine glasses. "Before the Great Tribulation. Although I am a workaholic and spend most of my time at work, I don't have many friends and I don't socialize with my family, so I spend most of my spare time in hunting clubs. ”
"This is your trophy?" Chu Tianjiang glanced at the specimen hanging on the flue.
"Three years ago, in Canada, I chased it for three days and three nights with an Inuit guide before blocking its path in a river valley. Bang-" Christopher made a shot motion. "Only one shot was fired, and it hit the left eye."
"You're a sharpshooter?"
"It's barely good, but it's not very stable, and sometimes it depends on luck." Christopher smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Chu's marksmanship must be good." ”
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "That's true, it's just that I'm not hunting animals. ”
"Oh?"
At this time, four other rabbis arrived, including a woman.
Christopher introduced four rabbis to Chu Tianjiang and introduced Chu Tianjiang to them. The four rabbis are also very young-looking, all of them look to be in their twenties. Chu Tianjiang was sure that they, like Monica and Christopher, were much older than they looked. Chu Tianjiang also clearly felt that they all had an energy sphere in their bodies, and it was almost exactly the same size and density.
"Mr. Chu, please take a seat."
Chu Tianjiang was slightly polite and sat down on the sofa first. As much as he would love to take out these five guys, he must not surprise the snake until Stephanie shows up.
Afterwards, Christopher and the other five rabbis also sat down.
"Mr. Chu, you said you would give us an official answer today."
"Rabbi Christophe, I think it's a very clear answer that I'm here with only seven men."
"What does Mr. Chu mean, accepting our invitation?"
"If I decline your invitation, the best option is to stay in Lakewood rather than come here, and not just bring a few people with me, right?"
Christopher smiled and said, "With Mr. Chu joining, we will become even stronger. I'm here ......"
"Wait." Chu Tianjiang pressed his hand and said, "Rabbi Christopher, there is a problem that I must figure out. ”
"About your status? We've already talked about it, you're going to replace Monica and become ......"
"Of course not this is the problem, and I believe that the Jewish group, which has always valued credibility, will certainly not backtrack." Chu Tianjiang paused for a moment and said, "What I want to know is, can a rabbi be able to set up a rabbi?" If that's the case, then if I become a rabbi, can I also make other people become rabbi? ”
Christopher smiled and said, "Of course not. Tonight, I just introduced Mr. Chu to the celebrities of Denver and told them that Mr. Chu will replace Monica as one of the six rabbis and become the president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce. As for the official designation of Mr. Chu as a rabbi, it will take a few days before we hold a solemn consciousness when Mr. Chu's status will be officially confirmed by the Grand Rabbis. ”
"The problem is, I don't even know who the Great Rabbi is."
"Mr. Chu doesn't have to worry, the big rabbi will personally visit him at the right time."
Stephanie won't be coming tonight? Chu Tianjiang was secretly startled, and then felt the alarm signal coming from Lakewood.
Sure enough, Stephanie chose to do it tonight!
